"Congratulations on the success of your music video!"
Mia smiled as everyone she had invited congratulated her sincerely. Each of them began to enjoy the food that had been provided when Mia officially opened the dinner. But among all the people she had invited, Mia couldn't find Ray anywhere even after they had halfway started the event.
Every now and then, Mia glanced towards the restaurant door until she dared to approach Deby, who was joking with the director who was responsible for making Mia's music video.
"Deby... can we talk for a moment?"
When Mia approached her personally, Deby stopped talking and listened to Mia's words seriously. She agreed when Mia asked her to find a quieter place. The two of them went outside the restaurant, where it was quieter so Mia could talk more freely.
"Is there a problem, Mia?"
Mia smiled uncomfortably before approaching the woman to whisper something.
