“Alright, just hold on a moment.”
The elderly woman had called to say she wasn’t feeling well—there was no way Elodie could just ignore it.
Elodie headed straight out, making a beeline for the Royal Opulence Hotel.

Jarrod’s status was unique, so Selma had gone out of her way to remind Sylvie to make the arrangements flawless.
They’d reserved the entire second floor of the hotel for the main dinner, while the top floor was set aside for entertainment.
By the time Sylvie arrived, Maurice and the others were already there.
Maurice loved a good party, and since Sylvie had reserved the place for the night, she’d invited some of the top A-list celebrities along with a few of the most influential social media stars—people who’d grown up in this world of privilege.
Seated nearby were Joseph Delacroix and Grady.
When Grady spotted Sylvie, his eyes lit up. Tonight, Sylvie was wearing a champagne silk evening gown, and as she glided in, she looked every bit as stunning as the famous actresses in the room.
“Wow, going all out tonight? You look absolutely gorgeous,” Maurice teased with a playful grin.
Sylvie offered a gentle smile. “Thanks for the compliment.”
Just then, Naylor stepped inside—he’d been invited by Maurice.
In this crowd, every event, every gathering, was an opportunity to make connections. Business, after all, was all about relationships.
Naylor had come specifically to show his support for Jarrod himself.
“Mr. Whitaker.” Sylvie greeted him warmly.
Naylor glanced at her and said frankly, “President Fielding really pulled out all the stops for Mr. Silverstein tonight.”
Sylvie’s mood was bright—her smile said it all. “It’s not over the top. Tonight is worth it.”
Given Jarrod’s position, if she was going to host his birthday, it had to be nothing less than impeccable.
“Ms. Fielding, the flowers you ordered have arrived—where would you like them?”
A hotel staff member wheeled in a huge bouquet of champagne roses.
Even Joseph turned to look, clearly surprised by the sheer size of the arrangement.
