Chapter 41

William squashed the little green fuzz monster flat. Elsie showed up at a beauty brand event. Sophia, a low-key influencer with deep pockets, never took ads, which actually made her recommendations pretty popular. What started as a hobby kind of blew up—now even brands wanted her. This was the first time Sophia got a sponsored gig. Though a bunch of big names were attending and she was kind of a nobody in the corner, she was hyped. She practically begged Elsie and Olivia to back her up at the event and even dragged her brother and mom along too. The place was packed. Fans swarmed outside for the celebs, full-on crowd vibes. Inside, only VIPs, press, and invited guests were let through. Luckily, Sophia's mom had connections and scored some invites. Leaning over a barrier, Olivia gawked at a heartthrob actor and teased, “Girl, be real. You sure they invited you? You didn’t just fish an invite out of a trash can out front?” Sophia was all dolled up with flawless makeup and a pretty dress.
