[Little Yacht]
The event was rather bustling than what Zoey had expected. There were more guests, as if it was like those usual yacht elite parties. Everyone, equally graceful and elegant men and women, were wearing masks.
Some wore a full mask, others wore something that covered half of their face: lower part or upper, some covered the right part of their faces. Hence, guests took this as a battle of elegance and demeanor.
Zoey glanced at the man beside her. Nikolai was wearing a full mask, but somehow, she sensed that he was smirking as he offered her a glass of champagne.
She accepted it with a subtle smile. "What a way to conceal your business."
"Well, it won't be fun if everything revolves around the auction -- although that's the meaning of this." Nikolai said in a matter-of-fact tone.
