Sophie's ties with James were limited to business competition, with no personal connection left between them. Whether or not James showed up at his engagement party was none of her concern.
As Sophie prepared to turn around with Jenna, she bumped into a firm chest.
The man was dressed in an unremarkable black suit devoid of any excess adornment. When Sophie looked up, she saw a silver masquerade mask covering his face.
Instinctively, Sophie took a step back, and Jenna quickly pulled her away from the man.
Sophie offered a strained smile. "I'm sorry. Did I bump into you?"
"It's okay."
His voice was raspy and unpleasant, as if damaged by fire, obscuring his age.
Jenna eyed him curiously, finding him odd. She held Sophie's arm and politely said, "Excuse us, sir, we have to go."
Sophie's gaze lingered on the man. As they passed him, she heard him murmur, "Leave the venue immediately."
His voice was so low that only she could hear it. Sophie stopped in her tracks, but when she turned to look, the man had vanished into the crowd.
"Sophie, let's not worry about it. Everyone here tonight is a VIP. That man's outfit suggests he's just a bodyguard for a businessman. You're the star of tonight's event. It's best not to mingle with them." Jenna whispered, "And I caught a whiff of something awful on him... like rotting meat."

Sandy needs to see Vanessa is using her as a cover, and Sandy needs to wake up to herself, or be held responsible by her father for alienating the people she was supposed to make contact with. Hope the reporter brother is keeping an eye on what Vanessa and Odie are up to, and that he has he’s own justice in store. Hope he becomes like Reese a good partner.
