Hera remained doubtful but still took the clothes from Athena’s arms and proceeded to change. While she was changing, Athena also selected a pair of white stilettos with gold-ted heels and a pastel pink limited edition Birkin bag toplement her outfit.
Once Hera was fully dressed, Athena admired Hera’s reflection in the mirror, cing both hands on her hips with a big grin on her lips. "Beautiful!" she eximed.
"Indeed, no wonder you were the Vogue’s chief editor in your past life!" Hera echoed, offering her friend apliment. Hera was truly surprised to see herself looking different after dressing up. "I look like a wealthydy," she joked.
Athena yfully knocked on Hera’s head. "Because you are!"
"And so are you!" Hera giggled, taking a twirl in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror inside her wardrobe.
After the two had their fill of fooling around and admiring themselves in the mirror, they descended to have breakfast with the Old Master. As Hera made her way down the stairs, the servants bustling about halted, casting admiring nces her way.
"Oh my! My princess has finally worn the clothes I bought!" The Old Master’s smile stretched from ear to ear at the sight of his granddaughter dressed so elegantly. "Are you both going out?" he inquired.
"Yes, Grandpa! I’ll go with Athena to pick up her new car, and we’ll go shopping afterward," Hera replied, her steps light as she moved to cling to her grandfather’s arm.
"Good, good! You indeed have to enjoy yourself. Your sses will start again in a few days. You have to get out more," the Old Master advised, patting his granddaughter’s hand affectionately.
Hera nodded in agreement and assisted her grandfather to the dining table, Athena following closely behind. As they settled in, Athena couldn’t resist sharing a picture of Hera she had secretly taken earlier while she was admiring herself in the mirror.
[Athena_Lowry: Look at what I found. XOXO. Isn’t our Hera beautiful and elegant?]
No editing was done to the picture, capturing Hera’s natural beauty. Her bare face glowed with a subtle tint of pink on her cheeks, and her lips boasted a natural plump redness. Cascading down her waist, her long wavy hair framed her youthful features as she poised to twirl before the mirror. With a hint of sweet cuteness and an air of elegance, Hera appeared radiant in the photo.
Just a minute passed after she posted the picture, and her post was already flooded with likes andments. The recent interview fromst night still lingered in people’s minds, andizens were actively discussing it online, despite Rafael’s team attempting to scrub any information that could tarnish Minerva’s reputation.
The fans Hera recently gained were particrly delighted to see the picture.
[Annalise: Oh my goodness!!! Sister looks absolutely stunning! Her beauty just brightened up my entire day! Who needs coffee when you have her to admire? (hearteye_emoji)]
[HeraismyGoddess: I went from being a Hera hater to a full-on fan overnight, and I’m already in for a treat?!]
[AuntieNextDoor: Good morning, my dear little sister Hera!! This picture is going straight to my screensaver. Thank you, poster! <3]
[PasserbyGod: Oh, is our beloved Goddess off on a date today?! (smirking_emoji)]
[AllOfMe: Noooo! I’ve just discovered my Goddess, and now she’s already off on a date? Who’s the bastard? I’ll hunt them down! (knife_emoji)]
Hera noticed Athena snickering on her phone with a secretive demeanor, but she decided not to dwell on it. She had grown ustomed to Athena’s mischievous antics over time. Unbeknownst to her, Athena was capturing another sneaky photo of her, which she promptly posted right after the first one. This quickly caught the attention of those who were already admiring her previous post.
[HeraismyGoddess: OMG, poster! Are you Hera’s rtive, friend, or just a dedicated fan/stalker?!!!]
[PasserbyGod1: Bro from above, the poster might be all of those, but let’s admit it, we’re the real stalker squad here. KEKEKE!]
[AuntieNextDoor: I’d proudly be Hera’s online stalker any day! Look at her, isn’t she just the epitome of elegance and cuteness while dining?! I’m feeling ecstatic right now! Poster, keep up the good work!]
[MamaLin: +1]
[TraveleronTheRoad: Is she a rising celebrity? She’s stunning! And that outfit, is it from a legit Haute Couture collection?!]
The seemingly innocent question from onementer grabbed the attention of otherizens, prompting them to check Hera’s attire in the previous picture. This sparked a new wave of buzz on the inte as they delved into identifying what Hera was wearing and its price.
But Athena, the instigator, remained unaware of how things were unfolding on the inte because she had already set her phone aside and begun eating. She felt a sense of pride for being able to share Hera’s beautiful attire, akin to a parent witnessing their toddler’s first steps or hearing their first words, and proudly sharing their child’s milestone with others.
Athena even entertained the idea of starting a Hera blog, where she could ndestinely capture Hera’s candid moments and share them online. She believed it could easily amass a fanbase rivaling those of other renowned celebrities. <i>’Isn’t it like having a money tree right beside me?’</i> she mused, casting a nce at Hera, who was engrossed in conversation with her grandfather while enjoying her meal.
Hera shivered as a cold sensation ran down her spine. <i>’Who could be plotting against me?’</i> she wondered, feeling a twinge of unease.
