Author's note: this is from Seraphina's point of view

The car stopped in front of the luxurious hotel and I looked at the tight security that was lined on both sides of the red carpet.
Is this a company party or a gala for movie stars? Actually, with all those security guys in black suits, it looked more like a reception for the president.
The event started more than an hour ago, but Aldus said that we are right on time and that coming earlier would be a waste.
Aldus told me that the whole hotel is booked for this event, so there will be no outsiders. Cameras are prohibited, and his men are securing the perimeter to ensure no one sneaks in and causes trouble.
I peeled my eyes from the window and turned to Aldus. "I'm nervous."
Aldus crooked an eyebrow. "What are you nervous about? Security is ours, the event is ours, the guests are ours, and if anyone makes you uncomfortable, you can always outrun them."
