"Wear your masks." Rudy said to Ruby and Maria. "You two are still targets of the other mafia syndicate. I trust Lu Bela's security, but it's also a rule to wear a mask at the party."
They left the room and met the guards.
"Uhh…" Mia has things to do, so one of you should go with her. I would prefer if both of you go with her and leave me alone with Maria, but I know you won't agree with that."
Ruby's guard followed Ruby and Rudy's guard followed Rudy.
They got into different elevators and parted ways.
"Where is the party?" Rudy asked the guard. "Center hall."
"Then it must be big enough for so many people to fit in. Do you have any information on how many people are invited to the after-party?"
"Rough estimate is five hundred."
"Oh, then it doesn't have to be that big."
The elevator stopped on the ground floor, where a car was parked for them.
"..." Rudy sighed after seeing the car and muttered, "Figured it would be like this. Is the hall far from here?"
