The spotlight

Sophia awoke to the morning sun, anticipation bubbling within her as she descended the stairs, expecting to find Sebastian enjoying his breakfast. Instead, she encountered the alluring sight of Eve gracefully tidying up.

"Good morning, ma'am," Eve greeted with a subtle smile.

"Good morning, Eve... is Sebastian not up yet?" Sophia inquired, curiosity tinged with a hint of disappointment.

"He already left for work," Eve revealed, her words adding a layer of mystery to the morning.

"Oh," Sophia mumbled, a touch of irritation coloring her thoughts. Sebastian, the enigmatic figure, had departed without a morning greeting.

"He mentioned you should get ready. He'll pick you up later in the evening. And You're supposed to look your best," Eve divulged, her eyes holding a secret that Sophia couldn't decipher.

"Any idea where we're going?" Sophia probed, intrigued by the unknown.
