The crowd had barely glimpsed Jarrod's arrival before a wave of warmth spread through their ranks. Everyone greeted him enthusiastically, ushering him and his companion into the heart of the venue.

As they walked, the compliments flowed effortlessly. "Ms. Fielding and Mr. Silverstein make a stunning pair. Having you both here tonight is truly an honor for TerraCore Technologies."

"Mr. Silverstein, Ms. Fielding, please follow me-your seats are ready."

A flicker of understanding crossed their faces. "Ah, from VistaLink Technologies. But Ms. Thorne, are you acquainted with Mr. Silverstein?"
