ASTRID AND PARTY-E

`Oh my god, my brothers got you these?' Abigail was surprised by the designer clothes Ace bought for Astrid. She never had her brothers choosing clothes for her let alone shop with her! Usually, they will give her an excuse like, she shops too much or they were too tired to carry her bags.

`Are they good?', Astrid choose the Versace cocktail draped dress with Medusa hardware accents. It was a simple black sleeveless dress that stopped at her thigh. She was lucky, her bruises had faded and there weren't any new ones, that can be seen. 

`Ace never shops for any women before. I mean not even for me. You have him wrapped around your finger!',

`But why isn't he going? I thought he can make more friends from functions like these?

`He hates all these dinner events. Says unless he gains some business deal from it, he would never miss it', Abigail motioned Astrid to sit on a plush ottoman and started working magic with her makeup.
