CHAPTER 25: BOUTIQUE OPENS

Krystal found herself appearing in the newspaper after the birthday and acknowledgment banquet. She truly became a celebrity and the reporters somehow dug up into her black past.

She knew about the power of the media and just like that in two weeks her name had been washed clean. Since she didn’t pursue the wrong arrest she went through, the girl who framed her could only suffer the netizen’s wrath which was worse than serving any sentence.

They also returned back to school and studies resumed as usual. She also sent the gowns to the boutique and this made the workers busy once more. Because of the gowns that they wore on Annie’s banquet a lot of people had been hooked.

So, when Pixyfly her boutique’s name began to advertise its opening day along the gowns to be sold when opened, those with eyes saw and began to prepare in advance.

Annie was also a huge promoter for she didn’t stop talking about her gowns and in the process, she also let the price slip. So, they all knew how expensive the gowns were. If you don’t have money, then don’t even bother to go and buy.
Those that saw the gowns could tell that the gowns were worth it so there were very eager to buy at least one.

Just a day before the boutique was supposed to open, Krystal was busy looking at the shop to make sure that everything was okay. Since she had hired a professional manager, she had spoken about how she didn’t want anyone to know that she was the owner. The female manager could understand how this celebrity wanted some peace so she agreed to it.

“I have this feeling that we may be sold out tomorrow,” the female manager Olivia spoke with happiness which made Krystal smile happily.

“As long as they want them then let them buy the gowns, I will have other batches be delivered so don’t worry about the inventory.”

“I was thinking that it would be great if we were to add some more things to sell to add a variety,” Olivia suggested. Krystal saw that as a huge point, if she could provide a variety then that will be good.

“Okay then, I will see what to be brought next time I have the second batch just in a few days,” Krystal agreed to the suggestion.

“Okay then, I will let the customers know then.”

“That’s good.”

After checking everything Krystal bided Olivia goodbye and announced that she will be coming for the opening tomorrow since it was the weekend. She also wanted to see how it will go.

When she arrived back at the villa, she ate the food that Aunt Grace had left for her, cleaned up, and went into her virtual space for some intense studying. It took her two days in the virtual space but another two hours in real life, so she went further in her studies.

As someone who was behind with her studies, she was still doing everything she can to catch up to others. She wanted to go to the best university and they don’t take in the trash.

When she was done with her studies, Krystal went straight to bed and fell asleep the second her head hit the pillow.

The next day she was woken by the alarm, her eyes were still groggy because she was still sleepy. Since the day was special, she needed to put up some more hours. She began with her morning run, followed by her bath and then a run down to the kitchen where Aunt Grace had cooked up a hearty breakfast for her.

“Good morning, Aunt Grace,” she beamed up at the older lady as she sat down at the table for breakfast.

Aunt Grace had cooked some cranberry waffles and walnut milk for her. She ate the food happily and when she was done twenty minutes later, she put the plates in the sink for the woman to wash since she disliked it when she does her own plates when she was there.

She returned back to her bedroom where she chose a green knee-length dress with some flat black plumbs. As much as she would like to wear those expensive gowns she couldn’t after all it was inappropriate.

By wearing this dress, she was hoping to see if she could attract some people who would like to buy styles like this but it would be difficult to sell them since the boutique sell only expensive clothes and the minimum price is half a crystal, fifty gold pieces and there will be no way in hell someone will be willing to buy it.

Since she could not sell it then she might as well enjoy the benefits alone, it won’t kill her. She walked out of the villa after biding Aunt Grace goodbye. Like a happy child, she was busy strolling towards the villa complex exit gate.

She smiled at the gatemen and called for a taxi which arrived ten minutes later. She gave the driver her destination which was the boutique location and sat idly in the backseat as she scrolled through the web on her phone.

Thirty minutes later she arrived at her boutique and the place was already packed. There was no need for an official ceremony of some sort what matters were whether the boutique will have high sales or not.

She met Flora at the front after ten minutes and she looked lively in the morning. The two god sisters embraced themselves in hugs before following the others inside. These two weren’t there to buy but to see what the first day will be like.

“Everyone welcome to Pixyfly boutique. Today we will be unveiling twenty unique gown designs by Tranquility. I am sure that none of you know about this brand but I can assure you that you will not regret walking into this boutique today,” Olivia spoke fluently as a professional she was attracting everyone’s attention.

The gowns were all covered to show this mysterious atmosphere and this made everyone anticipate the unveiling more. Krystal smiled as she watched the drama unfolding and after the speech and the applause, the covers were removed.

Krystal’s job was to look at the reactions of the ladies that took their time to come and see the boutique. She was truly satisfied with the results. She only looked around for an hour with Flora before the two left the boutique to the clients that wanted to buy. She would still receive the report from Olivia later at night so she was at ease.

The two girls decided to go on a date and have some fun. Having so much fun like that Flora was very excited. They did some shopping, some eating and some playing at the amusement park. Later that day Flora drove Krystal back to her villa and Krystal kissed Flora goodnight before walking into the complex.

Since it was the weekend, Aunt Grace was done so she will be alone which gave her some space to do all she wanted.

After removing her clothes and wearing some shorts and a baggy t-shirt, Krystal went into the virtual space and began to cultivate with the help of the pills she had bought from the pharmacy.

Ever since she slept with Byron that night, her improvement was huge and she had this inkling because of her body physique that she needed to do more dual cultivation.

As long as she does that then her cultivation will soar high and no one will be able to bully her as long as she lifts a finger the fact that she died because of jelly still affected her greatly. She had been very careful all her life and yet that small container ended her life. That thought truly made her grit her teeth with anger.

As someone with a full day before Monday, she decided to go all the way and see what results she will achieve. So, in other words she went into deep seclusion which took her a month inside the virtual space.

When she breathed out the smoke after opening her eyes, she had broken through the third stage of Foundation Establishment after the Soul Condensation stage. What she needed was to stabilize this realm and work towards forming her core making her a Golden core cultivator which was huge merit.

Her own pace of cultivation was extremely fast as she possessed a number of cheats, compensation for her life which she was very grateful for. She left the virtual space and appeared in her bedroom.

She stinks because of all the excretion of impurities during her breakthrough, so she filled the tub and cleans herself thoroughly before going to bed. She was too lazy to go anywhere and since it was already midnight she decided to sleep and eat the next day when going to school.
