"I'm not sure we can seat the Astors that close to Ares's brothers," Mom says. "We definitely must invite them. Their family is on par with the Windsors, after all… but we cannot seat them that closely together. If I recall correctly, Adrian Astor strongly dislikes Ares's brother, Lexington."
I frown and look up from the charts. "Adrian doesn't like Lex?" I ask, surprised. How could that be? Lexington is one of my favorite people in the whole world, and he attended Astor College with Leia. He's the one who introduced me to Leia and Adrian in the first place.
"Yes, that's what I heard. From what I understand, Adrian does not appreciate Lexington'splayfulness."
Ah. I smirk knowingly. Lex must've provoked Adrian by flirting with Leia. Yeah, I can see that. Adrian isn't very forgiving in the slightest, and I have no doubt he'd bear a grudge.
"Fine, we'll just seat them further apart."
