But Duke's reaction was starkly different. His eyes widened, his face pale, as he whispered, "That face..." His champagne glass slipped from his sweaty palms, shattering on the floor. The sound seemed to echo through the room, drawing the attention of nearby partygoers.
The man, named Victor, stared at the glass shattered on the floor, and his gaze slowly crept to Duke's masked face. Before he could say anything, Dominique stood between them, and as if addressing the crowd, he threw a joke: "A good way to get everyone's eyes on the man of the night, No?" The room erupted in laughter, at Dominique's joke.
