Outside the windows of the cruise ship, rain poured heavily, accompanied by strong winds, creating a fierce weather scenario that had caught Talon and the others completely by surprise as they entered the luxurious dining room.
Around the table, the guests settled into their seats. Talon, with his calm demeanor, took a seat opposite Claire, whose golden hair shimmered under the lights. Beside Claire sat Emily. Alice was among them as well. Across from them sat Crystal, who, despite not being a member of the main team or crew, had been invited personally by Talon. Zhang Mei was there too, her presence adding a layer of grace to the already elegant gathering.
The table before them was a culinary delight adorned with meticulously arranged dishes that promised a feast for both the eyes and the stomach. Crystal goblets and fine china added to the opulence as the group prepared to indulge in the evening's offerings.
