Chapter 99 The Yacht Assignation

• “ Reyna, are you all set? ” Antonio’s voice buzzed with excitement as he hustled into the bustling studio, where the final traces on the jewelry set were being completed. The studio was a mix of systematized chaos — sketches bestrew about, tools scattered across workbenches, and the soft hum of the air conditioner mixing with the clatter of ministry. Reyna stood at the center of it all, her eyes concentrated on the shimmering pieces arranged strictly on the velvet- lined table. Every detail of the set, designed with both passion and perfection, sounded to bruit pledges of a advance for her business.
• Reyna’s mind, still, was a whirlwind of clashing feelings. The mysterious commission had given her a renewed burst of energy after the turbulent days following her recent lapses. Yet, as she precisely audited each piece — the necklace that glinted with retired symbolism, the earrings that caught the light just so, and the cuff that embodied her creative spirit — a moping apprehension eroded at her. The commission was enormous and enticing, but the uncommunicative nature of the customer and the fugitive details of “ Project Aurora ” left her unsettled.
• Her phone buzzed, interposing her thoughts. The screen displayed a communication from an unknown number “ Your presence is requested. Project Aurora awaits you. Confirm your appearance at the yacht by 5 PM. further details to follow. ” Reyna’s heart swiped in her casket. A luxurious yacht this was no ordinary commission meeting. It was an assignation into a world shrouded in riddle, with high stakes and hidden agendas lurking beneath the face.
