Getting in the Moment

She was taken aback to find the party not as formal as she expected it to be. There were still the posh ambiance, the sumptuous attires of the guests, the wine and alcohol, and the resplendent setting of the venue. But everyone is in their own little groups. It seemed to her that they closely knew one other.

'So, most of the guests are really from the Ratri clan. There are the members from the branch families as well as the main one. To think that I'd be surrounded by individuals with overwhelming power and influence - this is my chance to form more connections...!' she thought, feeling more than thrilled to be there.
