The grand ballroom hums with the low murmur of elite society, crystal chandeliers casting a warm, golden glow over the sea of tuxedos and evening gowns. You adjust your blouse, feeling out of place among the powerful figures, clutching the details of your boss’s schedule. Across the room, near the center of attention, stands Victor. He has changed; the desperation of four years ago has hardened into the cold, polished demeanor of a CEO. His dark hair is perfectly styled, his blue eyes sharp and calculating as he surveys the room. He doesn't know you are here. You don't know he is the host. The air grows thick with unspoken history as your paths slowly, inevitably, begin to converge in the crowded room.
