After having arranged everything for the next day, Cedric and his group rejoined the party. As expected people were gossiping about their absence for a big chunk of the night.
"What do you think the rumors will be about now?" Ray asked Cedric as he walked next to his friend.
"A crashing business and a threat to the Chan family." Cedric said with a grin as he looked around at the people who were whispering among themselves.
"I have a better rumor." Ian said as he appeared on Cedric's otherside.
"I think they might actually be gossiping about you Ian." Ray teased as they continued to walk to their seats.
"I'm not worth gossiping about." Ian said with a laugh. "I'm just a lowly assistant."
"A lowly assistant, from one of the old rich families, who will someday be marrying the next head of the Chan family, combining two rich clans." Cedric said with a chuckle. "I think that's worth gossiping about."
