The next day, Finland and Caspar spent the whole morning preparing for the barbecue party. Kathy and Luke, their assistants at the mansion, went out to buy various groceries and barbecue equipment.
Ben and Caspar's two bodyguards helped to arrange the equipment and simple decorations. After lunch, Jadeith and three other bodyguards also arrived. They were invited to enjoy the party with Finland's colleagues, Jean, and his date, Franka, to make the atmosphere livelier.
At 3pm, one by one their guests arrived. Anne came with her younger brother and Lucia came with her mother. The other six Market Research Department staff, who were married, brought their husband or wife and children with them.
Tony and Rachel, his fiancée, arrived with wine and flower bouquets. Not long after, Jean arrived with a very beautiful girl in his arms, Franka Yoshizumi. They brought a bottle of champagne with them.
