Splendid chandeliers hung overhead, their light dancing across the golden walls and the refined dresses of the distinguished guests. Among this splendor, Clara, the modest janitor, stood with her broom in hand. She had been employed here for five years, silently tolerating jokes and dismissive looks from those who never bothered to learn her name.
Yet, tonight was unlike any other. The hotel’s owner, Alejandro Domínguez praised as the city’s most desirable young businessman was hosting a grand celebration to introduce his newly released luxury clothing line. Clara was present only because she had been instructed to tidy the hall before everyone else arrived.
But destiny had a surprise waiting. When Alejandro made his entrance in a striking blue suit with his familiar self-assured smile, all eyes shifted in admiration. He greeted the crowd with a raised glass of champagne. Then, suddenly, his gaze landed on Clara right at the moment a bucket of water slipped from her hand and splashed in front of the guests. A wave of stifled laughter spread around the room.
