Along with Jessica, Zed arrived before Loren's apartment and pressed the doorbell. Jessica was aptly dressed for a formal dinner while Zed was in casuals.
In a few seconds, the door was opened by a woman with curly hair.
"Lady Suzane!" Jessica offered greetings.
"Jessica, right?" Suzane asked as she invited them inside.
"Yes," Jessica stepped in and pointed towards her companion, "This is Zed."
"Nice to meet you," Zed politely offered his respects.
"It is nice to meet you as well!" Suzane replied with a pleasant smile. "Loren will be ready in a few minutes!"
Zed and Jessica took seats at Suzane's instructions.
"I'm glad to see Loren having friends!" Suzane started a conversation.
"We are lucky to be her friends," Jessica politely replied. She wasn't really versed in conversation, but she did her best to engage with Suzane.
