"My dad is already here." Will gestured at the VIP lounge on the side of the hall. "He and the other board members are in the VIP room with Mr. Hewitt and the mayor. I think they will only come out when the banquet is about to start."
Kingsley nodded in agreement. "You're right. I wondered why so many provincial and municipal cars were parked at the gate, but not one could be seen in this hall."
Will grinned. "Well, those are VIPs. You don't get to see or talk to them unless you're the chairman of a large corporation or an influential person in Diosna. We, youngsters, should just wait in the lobby outside."
There was a commotion in the crowd as soon as he finished speaking. Someone announced, "Mr. Yorkshire from Sunrise Corporation has arrived!"
"Good to see you, Mr. Yorkshire."
"This way, please!"
Eric walked over slowly to the center of the hall in his luxurious silver-gray suit as everyone started pandering to him. He had a prideful expression on his face. Coupled with his snobby attitude, he succeeded in looking like a peacock strutting into the venue. Although Will was on par with him regarding power and wealth, Eric managed to look far more arrogant than Will.
Will could not help but snort when he saw Eric's smug look. "What an arrogant *sshole! He merely won Coliree Group's project, and he is showing off like a peacock."
