Annual Gala at the Marriot

Erin arrived at the grand entrance to the Gala.

The glittering people were flooding inside and being seated at tables.

Luminous chains of crystals hung from the ceiling and jewels decorated every table around an extravagant floral centerpiece.

There was a band on the stage as well as a podium for giving speeches.

The men escorted the elegant women to their seats. High class food was being served and the champagne flowed endlessly.

A host asked Erin for her invitation and she passed him the small gilded paper.

"Very Well," he gestured for her to follow a man wearing a tuxedo and he ushered her to the table where Mr.Trevor Stone sat with others.

The table of people all looked at Erin, quite stunned by her expensive gown and striking appearance.

The men all stood up and Mr.Stone smiled proudly, "Miss Parker-Chen please take this seat." he said placing his hand on her back.

Erin sat between Mr.Park and Mr.Stone.
