Chapter 254

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."

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.
