Amber, who had been standing near me, quickly stepped aside, her posture suddenly all grace and poise.
Darren was dressed in a sharp suit that hugged his lean frame, exuding an air of confidence. His entrance was as grand as any CEO's.
Pff.
"Is that really Mr. Herault from the International Group of Companies?"
"Yeah, that's him! Check out the cars! This guy really knows how to make an entrance."
"He’s the one who got that promotion last year, right? Guess that's what being successful looks like."
"And he's not just powerful, he's good-looking too! Honestly, who wouldn’t want a guy like him?"
"Amber is so lucky! I mean, look at her—she’s marrying into power!"
As the whispers and murmurs spread, Amber walked confidently over to Darren, looping her arm through his.
"Finally, you’re here! I was starting to think I’d have to do everything on my own," Amber said, a sweet smile plastered on her face.
Darren pulled her closer, his voice dripping with charm. "You know I can’t leave you hanging."
Seeing the attention Darren was getting, my former classmates rushed to him, eager to impress.
