After everyone exchanged polite hellos, the mood was pretty laid-back. Eliza and Juan were off to the side, chatting away. "Do you have any idea who the mystery bigwig bankrolling this shindig is?" Eliza asked. "I've heard it's someone loaded," Juan replied, with that air of mystery.

Juan paused, taking a moment to peek over. "Now that you mention it, there's definitely a resemblance."

"So, do you think it could be Casper?"

Juan was dumbfounded. Was she losing it? Casper was supposed to be dead.
