Chapter 76

Paisley had been delayed waiting for Emery and the others, so by the time she took the elevator down to the grand ballroom on the hotel's first floor, the cocktail party was already in full swing. Inside, guests mingled and clinked glasses, their conversations lively and full of energy.
