Chapter 292 Can You Afford That Dress?

Ten minutes later, Robin, Marrisa, and Brenda arrived at Terenova Film City, the largest cinema complex in Southeast Aurientia.

It was also the venue for Terenova Film Festival, the most prestigious film festival in Aurientia. Held every three years, the Aurientia Film Festival has been held ten times since Terenova Film City was built. Over the decades, a bustling commercial district has sprung up around Terenova Film City, centered on the film exhibition.

The area now features a variety of attractions, including gourmet food, luxury fashion, and film-themed souvenirs.

Almost half of the businesses in this district belonged to the Rogarios.

"Marrisa, Brenda, we have time to spare. Why don't we take a look around the shops?" Robin gestured toward the luxury fashion center in the West Wing of Terenova Film City. "Sounds fun!" Brenda beamed.

"Marrisa, come on! You've never been to a place like this!"

Marrisa gave Brenda a playful smack on the head. "You talk as if you always visit this place!" Brenda giggled. "Well, it's my first time too! I just thought it'd be nice to look around. "The things here are expensive! Let's take a look!"

Then, she glanced down at her clothes and then at Marrisa's, both looking out of place among the high-end displays around them.

Brenda felt uneasy as they stepped further into the street lined with luxury boutiques.

"Robin, maybe we shouldn't go in. It feels ... uncomfortable walking around here."

Robin understood what she was feeling.

The lavish clothing and jaw-dropping prices displayed in the windows were intimidating.

Many of the limited-edition pieces started at 10,000 dollars, with some items priced well over a million.

This was a world far beyond anything they could have ever imagined.

Just being here made their hearts race.

It was hard to even look at them without feeling out of place.

Marrisa nodded in agreement. "Yes, Robin, let's go. These clothes are far too expensive. We wouldn't even be buying anything"

Robin chuckled. "Who said we're not buying? We came here to get you two some new outfits."

Marrisa shook her head. "Those clothes are for the rich I'm just fine as I am.

Robin grinned. "Marrisa, you're rich now, remember?"

"In a few days, Ryder will contact you to discuss expanding your restaurant into a nationwide chain.

Marrisa looked startled. "They wanted to cooperate with me? But... I don't have the money to partner up like that!"

Robin placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "Sure you do. Your salmon soup recipe is one-of-a-kind. "You'll contribute your recipe as equity, and the Rogarios will provide the funding and handle operations.noveldrama

"Your business, Marrisa's Soup Kitchen, will be a national chain.

"You'll be able to sit back and enjoy being a major shareholder.

"Tell me, can you afford these clothes now?"

Brenda's eyes sparkled. "Marrisa, this is all thanks to Robin!

"I know Madam Stephanie only helped me get into university because of him.

"I'll help you manage the business when I graduate."

Marrisa got teary. "Robin, you've given Brenda and me so much."

Robin pulled out a tissue to dab her eyes.

"Why are you crying?

"If it weren't for you taking me in seven years ago, I might not even be alive today.

"Enough with the sentiment, Marrisa! You're about to become a major business owner-let's see some confidence! "Come on, let's get you in for a style session, buy a few outfits, and let ourselves splurge a bit!"

With that, Robin led Brenda and Marrisa into a high-end Chanel boutique.

This luxury store didn't just sell clothing; it also offered personal styling, custom design, and other exclusive services.

"We'll pick out a few ready-to-wear pieces first," Robin said, "then add a few custom designs. Afterward, we'll have them style your hair and update your look." Brenda looked nervous. "Robin, isn't this a bit much?"

"Tonight, we're going to the film festival; let's enjoy it. Don't worry about it," Robin said with a smile, ruffling her hair.

The sales associate welcomed them warmly, showing no signs of indifference despite Brenda and Marrisa's simpler attire.

After Robin shared their styling needs, the associate guided Brenda and Marrisa to select two outfits each and led them to the dressing rooms.

Brenda chose a long, elegant white dress.

After taking a moment to adjust, she stepped out, blushing as she glanced toward Robin.

"Robin, what do you think?"

Robin was momentarily stunned
