Preparation

The Belle Boutique was a two story building painted in an elegant combination of silver and gold. The transparent glass windows gave a glimpse of the cozy interior of the place. The automatic sliding door, the red carpeted floor, and the painted cremé colored walls scream of luxury. 

Awestruck by the glamour surrounding the place, I slowly stepped inside, the hills of my stiletto sinking into the plush carpet.

"Welcome to Belle Boutique." A soft female voice said in greeting. I tore my gaze away from the floor, raised my head and saw a petite woman with bright hazel eyes and wide smiling mouth. 

"Hello." I greeted warmly, waiting for Claire to follow behind me after properly parking the car in the parking area. 

"How may I help you Miss?" She asked politely. The sweet smile on her lips widened. In a curious tone she added, "You looked familiar. Did we meet before."
