Arriving at the international hotel, the staff immediately rushed forward, escorting them to the lobby for registration.
Jasper and Aaron picked up their badges, conference manuals, room keys, and welcome gifts.
The badge colors denoted rank, dictating room assignments and seating arrangements.
Zane glanced at the event organizers, then smiled at Elara. "Ms. Vance, what floor are you on? I'll come find you after the meetings to chat."
The hospitality coordinators were shrewd professionals, especially when it came to VIPs like Zane. Catching his hint, they immediately offered to upgrade Elara's room to a higher floor, claiming it would facilitate better business communication.
Zane nodded. "Thank you."
Jasper internally cursed his boss for abandoning him in the trenches without a second thought.
Lunchtime arrived.
The forum's executive director and hospitality manager came over to mingle. Zane introduced Elara, ensuring her seat was conveniently moved right next to his for the afternoon session.
The first item on the agenda was the opening ceremony, featuring keynote speeches from the leadership.
At first, Zane pretended to listen intently.
But it didn't take long for his gaze to drift to Elara's feet, subtly tracing the line of her ankles and calves.
After the politicians finished, the experts took the stage.
Normally, Zane would have lost his patience and walked out. But today, with Elara sitting right beside him, merely existing in her orbit felt like a luxury.
No wonder Jasper kept calling him lovesick.
Zane leaned close to Elara, lowering his voice. "Want to hear some gossip?"
Elara looked skeptical. Was this really the time or place?
