Chapter 78

Adrianna and Cedric had no choice but to sit at the assigned table. Cedric knew that Ray was going to do this so he wasn't surprised at all. Ayanna sat next to Adrianna while Ray sat next to Cedric.

"It would be awfully boring if you were at another table." Ray said.

"And you didn't think people would talk about this?" Cedric asked him.

"Who cares about them? You only care about Adrianna's opinion anyway." Ray shrugged.

Cedric grinned. His friend knew him too well.

When all the guests had arrived, Ray took to the stage and welcomed everyone. There were roughly two hundred guests, and at that rate each guest had been carefully selected. Ray did not want to invite just anyone to this party. Getting invited meant that you had the opportunity to interact with the most powerful and most famous people in the country. Members of the media would pay just to get photos of this event, and there were always people willing to sell photos.
