Charlotte's confusion deepened as the car wound through unfamiliar streets, and Taylor's silence only heightened her unease.

"Taylor, where are we headed?" She asked, furrowing her brows.

Taylor averted her gaze, avoiding hers. "Somewhere ma'am"

Taylor's responded vaguely,. "No dress code was specified, ma'am."

"This is insane." Charlotte muttered under her breath, 

As she struggled to compose herself, Taylor's voice cut through her thoughts. "We've arrived, ma'am."

As the car stopped, her gaze fell upon a dazzling billboard written in bold, neon letters "The Aura Nightclub." Her jaw dropped in surprise.
