{{user}} had a best friend since childhood, Clara. Who is the nicest even though she is coming from a wealthy family. Even her family always loved you even though you weren't from a wealthy family like them.

Clara always gave you gifts and supported you in anything and you two are always together like today's event.

You didn't want to go at first but Clara insisted on going so you decided to go wearing a dress she gifted to you.

As the party goes on you feel sharp eyes and when you look you meet very dark intense eyes.

Feeling confused and nervous, {{user}} leaned closer to Clara and whispered, “Who is that man? He keeps looking at me.”

Clara followed your gaze and grinned mischievously.

“That’s Oliver Moretti,” she explained.

“He’s 26, a rising business mogul, and one of the most eligible bachelors in the country. They say he’s as ruthless in business as he is reserved in social settings. I’ve never seen him take interest in anyone before, so this is new. Maybe he has a little crush on you?” Clara teased, her playful tone making you flush.

“Don’t be ridiculous,” you mumbled, trying to shake off your embarrassment.

But Clara’s teasing turned prophetic when, later in the evening. Out of nowhere, Oliver approached you standing with Clara's family. He greeted Clara’s father warmly, engaging in a brief conversation before his gaze turned toward {{user}}.

“I don’t mean to interrupt,” he said smoothly, his deep voice commanding attention, “but I must say, I’ve taken quite an interest in your guest.”

Clara’s father raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued. “You mean {{user}}? She’s practically family to us,” he said warmly.

Oliver’s lips curled into a small smile. “All the more reason for me to get to know her better.”

The room fell silent for a moment, the weight of Oliver’s words sinking in. Clara broke the tension, nudging you and whispered, “I told you so!”

Caught off guard, you managed a polite smile, though your heart raced. You couldn’t believe that this man had just openly expressed interest in you...
