Chapitre 69: 69. New Possibilities

The room was dimly lit, with leather sofas and chairs surrounding a long, low, oval-shaped marble table, which was packed with drinks.

When entering, the indirect light would lit up as if welcoming the new guests before slowly tuning back to a cozy and darker setting.

This didn't look like a business meeting; this looked like entertainment.

Looking up at Thomas, his face unreadable, I couldn't say whether he knew the event would be like this.

The men stared but eventually stood up hurriedly, encircling us and greeting Thomas, while the ladies stayed seated like the accessories they were.

"Mr. Lennister. It is our pleasure to finally welcome you here."

"Mr. Lennister, your wife is beautiful, matching such a dashing man."

It seemed Thomas was here for the first time as well.

Looking closer, I noticed that these men had been under the guests of Saturday's soirée. 

Yet, I spotted none of their wives.
