The party was nothing special, and Elias began feeling irritated.
He had been waiting for Rachael to show up for about an hour, but she was nowhere to be seen. He had half a mind to abandon everything and look for Rachael.
'I need to endure it for now. I cannot let Cheery know that she is affecting me in any way. Knowing her would only excite her, even if my reaction is negative.'
The hall was filled with people he had seen before but had yet to remember.
"Are you enjoying this party, young master Elias? I decorated the hall and prepared all the snacks you liked. Can you give me a smile for my efforts?"
Cherry asked as she joined Elias with a cup of alcohol. She handed the glass to him, and he was forced to take it.
"This party is fine. But I am surprised to see that a few people are missing here. I was under the impression that you through this party for all your guests."
