Chapter 254

Only then did Jarrod glance down with casual indifference and say, "Fine."

Elodie hadn't even noticed when Jarrod and Sylvie slipped away.

Up ahead, the formalities had begun-guests stepped forward one after another, offering gifts and birthday cards.

More guests continued to arrive, drifting in by small groups.

Alexander pointed toward different corners of the room. "These are the key people we should be connecting with tonight."

Elodie understood that the Warwick family's birthday celebration had drawn out many of the heavyweights from their circle. In high society, networking was everything; these events often laid the foundation for future collaborations. Flexibility was the name of the game in business.

She'd already familiarized herself with brief profiles of some of the attendees.

Following Alexander's lead, she moved through the crowd, glass in hand.

Alexander scanned the room, then lowered his voice. "Omnitech was one of the first domestic companies to do this kind of research-they're solid. It'd be good for us to meet Mr. Black; could help our future prospects."

Elodie nodded in understanding.

She set about spotting Mr. Black in the crowd.

Eventually, in a quiet corner, she caught sight of him—and was surprised to see Jarrod and Sylvie already in conversation with him.
