With Congressman Hills and his wife departed, Leo found himself alone amidst the ongoing party. As the main reason for the gathering, he couldn't make an abrupt exit and had little reason not to mingle with his coworkers.
After strolling through the crowd for a while, Leo spotted an empty seat and decided to join the small group occupying it. As he approached, he greeted them with a polite smile, "I hope I'm not interrupting anything."
The group turned their attention towards him, and a lady with vibrant red hair, adorned in a striking red gown with a delicate rose embellishment, spoke up. Her nails were impeccably manicured, matching the elegance of her long red and white eyelashes.
"No, please, have a seat," she responded, her voice tinged with intrigue. Her gaze fixated on Leo, seemingly dismissing the man sitting beside her. To Leo's surprise, there were three other girls in the group, accompanied by four guys.
