Mr. Gallante's mansion was situated in Maria Luisa, one of the wealthiest neighborhood in Cebu. Beauty's catering staff had to be in the venue since morning to set up the tables, chairs, and others before the party would start. Diane, John and the rest carried boxes, chairs, and other party stuff all the way to the garden. They were wearing working clothes to decorate the whole place.
Beauty and Clarence, who was wearing a button camera, carefully looked around the garden, where the reception would be held. The party theme was ballroom dancing. Behind the garden was a newly built ballroom decorated with lights and prepared for the dancing contest. Mrs. Gallante loved ballroom dancing and she hosted an annual party for that purpose. Tonight was special, alongside her birthday, a priest would bless the ballroom hall to be used for the first time.
Off to the right, the domed shape of a large iron-and-glass greenhouse loomed and was enclosed with flowering trees of various colors.
