The Party Had Started
The murmuring inside the hall stopped when the host announced the start of the program. He asked everyone to settle down on their respective tables.
Selene felt relieved when the attention of the crowd was diverted to the host. They were not looking at her anymore. The guests faced the front stage where the host was talking.
He greeted and acknowledged everyone, mentioning some of the special guests who traveled far away coming from the other cities just to attend this party.
Arthur already booked their hotel room here at De La Sierra Hotel. They would sleep there for one night after the party. They would just leave the city in the morning.
The host was still announcing the names of the guests one after another when Renz and Selene reached Arthur's table.
"Hello, guys. Sorry, we arrived a little bit late. We caught up in the traffic," Renz apologized and explained to his friends immediately.
