The chatter from the guests grew as Wendy and Michael stood at a standstill, neither willing to budge.
Suddenly, a voice broke through, "There you are, Ms. Corrine Swift! I've been looking for you all day!"
The owner of the voice was Christian. Christian made his way out of the crowd and laughed, "You told me that you would think about my offer, so I've been waiting for you. Were you avoiding me?"
With his appearance, the focus moved to Christian. He carried himself casually, as though he was used to having such attention on him.
"Oh, you tease me, Mr. Lucas. How could I be avoiding you?" Wendy followed Christian's flow.
"Let's step aside to continue our conversation."
"My sentiments exactly," Christian responded as he turned to walk away, Wendy trailing behind him.
