As Ezra stepped towards the back terrace area of the swimming pool, his steps suddenly halted near the glass door, his eyes widening for a moment at the sight before him. He had been hearing voices and laughter quite loudly from earlier, initially thinking that there were other people staying in this spacious villa. But now, the people he saw were not strangers.
Ezra recognized them well, and as he slid open the glass door, the attention of the three people gathered around a table by the edge of the swimming pool immediately turned towards him.
One man he knew, Lucas, along with a woman and another man, all smiled simultaneously and greeted Ezra warmly.
"Is that you, Ezra? Ah, it's Ezra!"
A beautiful woman with curly hair and smooth dark skin greeted him with delight, lowering the cards she was holding in her hand to the table, while the other man, who was still smiling at him, looked almost in disbelief.
