Those that were close enough to hear the commotion watched on in stark silence. No one said a thing. Not even her father. Their faces were ones of shock and confusion. Prisana couldn't pull away herself, as she was too mesmerized in how achingly familiar he seemed. When he touched her hand, it felt right. It felt as if now all was right with the universe.
"Tell me, who are you and why are you openly flirting with my daughter in front of her husband?" her father's voice was the first one to command him.
"Elias Blackwell."
Immediately after Elias revealed his name, the crowd erupted to hushed whispers. They quieted down as Prisana's father shot them a stare. He turned to his bodyguard Sam and they began whispering among themselves. No one dared to speak a word as many were frightened of her father's wrath.
"...Ah, I heard of you. You're that new and mysterious CEO of Silver Linings, are you not? Ha, no wonder you were able to splurge on all those items without a second thought."
