Every head turned as the newcomer strode into the room.
She was dressed to kill, her makeup layered on thick and flawless.
Her eyelashes, long and artificial, fluttered like miniature fans atop her eyes with each
blink.
Her lips, painted the same color as her dress, seemed ready for the stage rather than the
understated elegance of the antique collectors soiree she had just entered.
In an instant, she was the center of everyone’s attention.
“Hey everyone, my name’s Susan. Thrilled to be here with you all tonight at this lovely
gathering. This is my assistant.” Susan said, lifting her dress slightly and waving with a
beaming smile. “We’ll be mingling in a bit, so let’s trade digits on WhatsApp and make
some connections.’

The man quickly whipped out his phone. He approached the intrigued businessmen, eager
for connections.
Some, out of politeness, obliged; others turned on their heel and walked away.
Susan didn’t mind. Each new contact was a potential opportunity.
She had heard through the grapevine that the Draven Group was hosting an antique

for a chance to meet him.
Dressed to the nines, she was a siren among sailors, ready to draw in the att Whether or
not Lysander was in attendance, she was determined to leave with new contacts.

from the liquor cabinet.
On the other side, Susan’s eyes scanned all over the hall for Lysander. Soon,
disappointment settled in as her search proved fruitless. But just as she was about to give
up hope, she caught a glimpse of Thalassa’s slender silhouette.

It seemed her luck was turning.
“What business is it of yours who I’m taking this wine to?” Thalassa sneered, eyeing her
with disgust before turning to leave.
“You can ignore me all you want, but I can just call my dad and have that video released
