Maria was floored. A Porsche was outside her house, driven by Zander's personal driver. She took a deep breath, stepping out of her tiny house and into the world of luxury that she had never imagined.

As Maria approached the sleek black car, she couldn't believe her eyes. It was like something out of a movie—a Porsche, driven by a personal driver, waiting for her outside her tiny house.

Zander stepped out of the car, his arms full of bouquets of flowers. "Here for you," he said softly, extending the flowers towards Maria with a gentle smile. He was determined to make her feel at ease—and maybe even a little bit special.

Maria's heart skipped a beat as she took the flowers from him, her fingers brushing against his. "Thank you," she murmured, her cheeks flushing with surprise and excitement. She couldn't believe how lucky she felt right now.

Maria was dressed in her usual outfit—a pair of jeans, a white t-shirt, and a light jacket. She didn't own any fancy clothes or high heels, but she did have a pair of sneakers on that matched her jacket.

Maria looked down at her outfit, feeling a bit self-conscious. She knew that the fashion elite who frequented Balenciaga were pretty judgy, and she wasn't sure if her casual attire would cut it.

"Zander," Maria said, hesitating before asking her question. "Do you think my outfit is okay to wear to Balenciaga? I mean, they're pretty judgy, right?"

Zander smiled reassuringly at Maria. "Don't worry about it," he said, taking her hand in his. "You look beautiful." He squeezed her hand gently before adding, "And at Balenciaga, they appreciate individual style more than following trends blindly."

Maria let out a sigh of relief. "Oh, thank you," she said gratefully. She felt a bit more confident now, knowing that Zander thought she looked beautiful and that Balenciaga valued individual style.

As they approached the entrance of Balenciaga, Maria couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and nervousness. The building was sleek and modern, with large windows showcasing the latest designs.

The Balenciaga building was a sight to behold. Its exterior was made of sleek, reflective glass that seemed to change colors depending on the angle you viewed it from. Inside, the walls were adorned with art installations that matched the modern vibe of the clothing.

Maria gasped as she took in the grandeur of the building. "Wow," she said, feeling a bit awestruck. Zander smiled at her reaction and led her inside.

Inside Balenciaga, they were greeted by a sales associate who seemed to recognize Zander. "Hi, sir," she said with a warm smile. "Anything you're looking for today?"

Zander returned the sales associate's smile, feeling right at home. "Millie," he said, pleased to see a friendly face. "It's good to see you again."

Maria, feeling a bit lost, simply followed Zander as he led the way through the store. She glanced around, taking in all the different designs and fabrics on display.

Zander turned to the sales associate, Millie, with a determined look on his face. "I'm looking for a couple outfit with an old money meets modern concept style," he said confidently. "Can you help me with that?"

Millie nodded enthusiastically. "Of course, sir," she replied. "We have several options that might suit your taste." With a knowing smile, she led them deeper into the store towards a section dedicated to more formal attire.

As they walked, Maria couldn't help but feel impressed by the elegance of the clothing on display. Each piece seemed meticulously crafted and designed with an eye for detail. She felt a bit out of her element but was excited to see what Zander had in mind for them.

Finally, they arrived at a section filled with rich fabrics and classic designs. "This is what we're looking for," Millie said, pointing to a selection of suits and dresses. "These pieces have an old-world charm while still maintaining a modern edge."

Millie explained each option, pointing out the unique details of each garment. Zander and Maria listened intently, considering each suggestion before finally deciding on a sleek black dress for her and a sophisticated gray suit for him.

The black dress was made of a soft, flowing fabric that hugged Maria's curves without being too revealing. The sleeveless design allowed for a subtle showcase of her shoulders and arms, while the v-neckline accentuated her collarbones.

For Zander, the gray suit was a perfect blend of classic and contemporary. It was tailored to fit his frame perfectly, highlighting his broad shoulders and slim waist.

"These pieces are perfect for your vision," Millie said with a satisfied smile. "They exude elegance and sophistication, just like old money meets modern style."

She then led them to a separate area where they could try on their selections. As they prepared to change, Millie offered them privacy, promising to return in a few moments with any additional assistance they might need.

Once alone, Zander and Maria couldn't help but exchange excited glances as they stepped into the change rooms. As they began to try on their outfits, they couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation for the evening ahead.

"This suit fits like a glove," Zander said as he admired himself in the mirror. "I feel ready to take on the world in this thing."

"How do I look?" Zander asked, turning to face Maria. He couldn't help but feel a twinge of nervousness mixed with his excitement as he awaited her response.

Maria slowly ran her hands over the smooth fabric of Zander's suit, admiring the way it hugged his muscular frame. "You look incredible," she said softly, her eyes meeting his in the mirror. "Absolutely breathtaking."

Zander couldn't help but feel a surge of desire as he watched Maria's hands glide over his body. He stepped closer to her, their reflections in the mirror almost like they were dancing together. "I think we make quite the pair,"
he whispered, his lips brushing against her earlobe. He pulled her closer still, his hand sliding down her back, over the curve of her buttocks, and back up again.

Maria's heart raced as Zander's touch ignited a fire within her. She turned to face him, her eyes filled with desire. "We do make quite the pair," she agreed, her voice trembling slightly. She ran her fingers through his hair, pulling him closer still.

Their lips met in a passionate kiss, their bodies pressed tightly together. As they broke apart for air, Zander leaned down to whisper against her ear once more. "Are you ready for our big night?" he asked huskily.

Maria nodded eagerly, her fingers tracing patterns on his chest. "More than anything," she breathed. She leaned in again, their lips meeting in another intense kiss that left them both breathless.
