As the evening approached, and the event drew near, Kiara and Darren found themselves ready amidst the anticipation.
With only a handful of guests, the atmosphere was set for an outdoor affair, tailored to Rex's penchant for lively gatherings.
The air hummed with the clinks of glass and murmurs of side conversations, signaling that the party was already in full swing.
Descending from their room, Kiara and Darren made their way to the event's location—the poolside adjacent to the mansion.
Kiara turned to Darren with a quizzical expression.
"Is this supposed to be a business meeting?" she inquired, her curiosity piqued by the unconventional atmosphere.
Darren chuckled softly. "Ever heard of a business meeting disguised as a social gathering?"
Kiara shrugged, unconvinced. "Still feels out of place to me."
