By mid-afternoon, at the hotel, Christian sits at the head of the long conference table, glancing over the agenda on his tablet. The upcoming charity gala looms closer, and the pressure to ensure its success weighs heavily on him. Around the table, the key members of his team gather: Rafael, the hotel manager, Ana, the supervisor, Mr. Duarte from finance, the three head chefs, and Eliane, his assistant, who is poised with her laptop to record every detail.
"Let's get started," Christian says, his tone crisp. "We're finalizing the details for the gala. This event needs to run like clockwork and reflect the high standards we represent."
Rafael leans back in his chair, maintaining an air of ease that Christian doesn't entirely trust. As the person responsible for the guest list, Rafael has a critical role, but Christian has yet to fully grasp the undercurrent of Rafael's intentions.
