The business banquet Lianne accompanied Ethan Sinclair to was highly exclusive. It was held at a private manor, its interior opulent and radiant.
Lianne wore a custom-tailored business-style gown in purple from a top luxury brand. It was elegant and magnificent, yet allowed for unrestricted movement.
Their Maybach sedan was the last to arrive at the manor, flanked by three other luxury cars.
A bodyguard swiftly opened an umbrella and the rear door, shielding Ethan Sinclair from the rain.
Ethan Sinclair took the umbrella from him, intending for Lianne to take his arm as she stepped out.
Lianne gathered the hem of her gown with one hand and steadied herself with the other on the car door, avoiding his arm. "It's fine."
The banquet host came out to greet them, bowing with an obsequious smile. "Mr. Sinclair."
