The Jade Chamber, Juno Hotel.
A fifty-year-old plump man by the name of Joseph Myers was enjoying some wine with Miles and May Smith as a couple of uniform-clad bodyguards stood guard with their hands by their sides.
May Smith stood up to pour wine for Joseph Myers. "We're your juniors, Mr. Myers, so it would be great if you could help us out in the future as a senior.”
Joseph Myers studied May Smith's bodyhugging gown as he took the glass of wine from her. He stroked her hand and laughed flirtatiously, "There's nothing like being around young people that makes me happy. I'm particularly fond of pretty ones like you, Mrs. Smith."
"You jerk!" May Smith spat.
Miles Smith offered out a silly grin from where he sat.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
It opened to reveal a gorgeous couple, led by a waiter.
"Ms. Smith is here, Mr. Myers," announced the waiter, bowing his head low.
It had turned out that the pair that had just arrived were Nathan Cross and Penny Smith.
Penny Smith only realized that Mr. Myers had company after she entered the room.
She lost all respect for the Smith family after getting kicked out of it.
When she saw Miles and May Smith, she froze for a moment before saying, "So, you guys are here too. I guess there's no need for me to be here anymore."
She turned around to take her leave.
