Anniversary-cum-charity-event-cum-private-auction - all on the last day of the year, too. Business wearing the fashionable coat of good fun was something Cyril could appreciate.
As he wandered across the room - the entertainment here wasn't exactly catering to him, but he wasn't here for the girls anyway - he noticed the young woman near the entrance, all by herself. On a night and in a place like this?
"You're free to take a seat if you wish," the art dealer said, a pleasant smile on his lips as he reached her. The usual rules had been loosened considerably tonight and there was no reason to be shy about entering and enjoying oneself. "The waiting staff will be more than happy to bring you whatever you like."
