After what felt like an eternity, the elevator doors finally slid open, unveiling a lavish and sophisticated ambiance surrounding the grand dining table. The anticipation was palpable, and the moment was worth the wait.
Above the table, a magnificent chandelier cast a warm glow over the setting, illuminating two rows of five chairs on each side and a chair at each end. Each seat was meticulously arranged, with meals elegantly displayed, waiting patiently to be enjoyed by the soon-to-arrive diners.
Sydney gracefully stepped out of the elevator, exuding an aura of calm and confidence. As she strolled toward the inviting side of the dining table, she gently patted Anna's back, an affectionate gesture that spoke volumes of their bond, and settled into her chosen seat.
