Sir Reynold extended his hand towards me, his gaze unwavering as our eyes met. “It’s a pleasure to finally meet you, Ariel,” he said in a deep, resonant voice. “Your father has spoken very highly of you.”

I offered him a warm smile, feeling a sense of respect and admiration for this esteemed gentleman. “The pleasure is mine, Sir Reynold,” I replied, shaking his hand firmly. “Thank you for your kind words.”

Sir Reynold nodded graciously, his eyes crinkling with a hint of amusement. “I must say, your beauty truly does justice to your father’s praise,” he remarked, his tone sincere.

I blushed at the compliment. “Thank you, sir.”

“No problem. I just hope you’re enjoying yourself at the party.”

“Yes, yes, I am.”

“I would really like it if you met my grandson. But apparently, he’s not here yet.”

“No problem; it’s okay. He’s going to show up, right?”

“Of course, but it’s becoming too late.”
