The pulsating music reverberated through the walls as I left the group behind and slipped through the throng of people, making my way towards the second floor.
The inauguration party was in full swing, and I knew the leaders of the firm would be gathered there
As I passed the dimly lit gallery adorned with beautiful paintings, I hit the lift button. Suddenly, a familiar voice startled me from behind.
"Where are you off to?" Ruby inquired, her soft voice barely audible above the music.
I turned around to face her, "Just taking a little stroll," I replied, feigning innocence.
"Doesn't look like a stroll to me," she remarked as she raised her eyebrows sceptically taking in my confident stride and glancing around curiously.
"Why don't you come with me and find out?" I suggested, the lift doors opened with a soft chime.
I stepped back, gesturing for her to enter, and followed her into the life and pressed the button.
