Chapter 95: Charity's Event: Lipstick and Lies
The chatter in the grand hall buzzed around Eira like a swarm of bees, but her attention was fully on Callian.
He stood by the bar, exchanging polite words with a sponsor.
Eira sipped her water, letting her gaze wander.
A few tables away, Mita caught her eye, leaning into a conversation with Leina.
Their shared glances in her direction were obvious, their whispered words even more so.
Callian caught her eye from across the room and gave her a small smile before handing his empty glass to a passing waiter.
He gestured toward the restroom with a nod and disappeared through the side door.
Eira sat back, trying to ignore so many stares.
Moments later, she saw Mita rise from her seat, excusing herself with a knowing smirk before following in the same direction Callian had gone.
The minutes ticked by, stretching longer than they should have.
