"I'm pretty sure you'd be the most handsome among the rest." Kim's mom said while fixing her eldest's collar and suit. Kim chose to wear an ed black suit for the event, exposing her red-printed black sweater with a white collar underneath. This top has been paired with black slim trousers and a black glittery "Lou Spike Flat" sneaker.

"Of course, he definitely inherited those good looks from me." Edward butted in, walking closer behind his wife, and handed a small black box to Kim. "Wear it. I almost forgot to give that to you."

Kim took the box from her dad appreciatively and carefully opened it. She then found an elegant oyster steel and white gold Rolex Date Just 36 which probably costs almost 256k Thai Baht. "Wow, this is so expensive Dad. This is too much."

"No, anything I provide for my children is priceless." Kim's dad explains, wearing the expensive watch to Kim himself and hugging her. Not wanting any emotions to fill the air, Kim tapped her dad's back and smilingly uttered, "I love you, Dad and Mom."

"Sir Kim, your car is ready." Gerard, Edward's butler said. "I have to go, I'll see you tomorrow." Kim bids goodbye to her parents and picks up the bouquet of flowers resting perfectly on the table.

When Kim's car parked on Ruechanok's driveway, she immediately got noticed by Tavee's mother whom she rarely sees for the latter is always busy handling their family's other business. Kim pleasantly greets the woman in front of her as soon as she climbs out of the car holding her gift to her date. "Hi aunt, it's so nice to see you again"

"Are you really, Kimhan? Edward Suppanad's eldest?" Kim nodded charmingly, earning a flattering remark from the old woman.

"Ohh! How come you get to be more and more handsome every time I see you?" Mrs. Ruechanok uttered while cupping Kim's face. The two didn't notice Tavee coming until the latter clung onto Kim's arms and whispered, "You always have your best way of attracting me, huh?"

This sent shivers down Kim's spine but still, the latter was able to maintain her composure. "And you're strikingly beautiful not to notice, Tavs. This is for you, by the way."

"Thanks, Kimmy." Tavee was touched by Kim's gesture; kissing her on the cheek as a sign of gratitude. "Come on, Steph has been calling me non-stop. She says almost all of the attendees are there already at the venue."

"You two look so good together." Both Mr. and Mrs. Ruechanok chimed in chirpily, expressing their admiration. "Take care you two, and enjoy the night!"

At Jane's place...

"How's my outfit, Pie?" Jane queried, showing off her elegant dress.

"You look gorgeous, as always." Pie enthused.

"Nah! Once you put your dress on, you'd definitely slay our asses off."

After applying some glittering eye shadows and black eyeliner to Pie, the make-up artist finished it off with crimson red lipstick. "Finally, I'm done with your make-up madam."

Glancing a few seconds to the smaller girl, Jane seems so satisfied with how Pie's beauty really came out even more. "Come on Pie; make your admirers drool over you tonight!" Jane cheered on, wanting to see Pie in full fashion.

Pie stepped outside the room wearing a simple short red strapless dress that was partnered with black high-heel pumps. It took a few seconds for Jane to notice the elegance behind her back since she was busy putting the final touches on her face. But when it finally occurs to her the moment she sees the smaller girl's reflection on the mirror she's holding, she can't help but gasp at her undeniable beauty. "What the----are you even real?"

"Of course, I am." Pie said, laughing softly at her friend's reaction.

"How can someone be so beautiful by just wearing a simple dress? I felt ashamed to make so much effort just to find the perfect outfit for me."

"I told you I don't want to be the center of attention."

"I think you should make yourself ready 'cause I bet that won't happen tonight." Jane smirked at her masterpiece.

During the long approach to the entrance of the Peninsula Bangkok, Pie stared in utter awe at the grand building. Whenever she travels, she's just stayed in the cheapest inn she could find for she can't afford the accommodations for luxurious hotels. Unable to get rid of the amazement that is painted on her face, Pie didn't notice a finely dressed porter bowed his head to them politely.

"Please, come this way." The porter said, gesturing towards the glass doors. The women followed him in revered silence until another porter came to meet them, bowed, and finally led them into the event hall where almost all of their friends were already there.

Once they were around the corner, everyone began to stop underneath a small archway where couples posed to have photos. Pie watched Jane meet Zee halfway who both stood underneath, carefully listening to the photographer as he told them how to stand. Zee ended up with her arms around Jane's waist as they were both looking into each other's eyes with pure love and adoration.

This made the petite girl feel a sudden pang of jealousy for she couldn't help but only witness couples who were so in love with each other that she could almost touch the sparks that darted between their eyes.

Prior to the special night, the whole group discussed their preparations and decided to arrive at the event early so they could find better seats while making themselves relaxed at the solemnity and romantic sensation the place was offering.

Once the lovebirds' turn was over, Zee led the two beautiful ladies to where their friends were including P'Van. Pie told P'Van to go to the venue by himself since she had Jane to accompany her. As soon as the guy sees Pie, he immediately stands up and hands over his prepared gift to the girl she admires. "Pie, you made me speechless. Every piece of what you're wearing right now looks so perfect on you. I can't....wow."

Pie chuckled, "Is it hot here for you to sweat like that? To be honest, I'm not really comfortable with what I'm wearing right now, but thank you anyway."

"That's what you called effortless beauty, my dear friend. Right, Nerd?" Puey chipped in, complimenti
