Chapter 39 **The Masquerade Ball (Dinner Party)**

• The hall was lit up with attractive lights and filled with the pleasant scent of rose air fresheners. Everyone who came was dressed beautifully in their gowns and suits, with their masks on. It was a masquerade ball, so their faces had to be covered. A soft music was being played by the DJ as they walked in and relaxed with their dates. Bryan was sitting in a spot with executives and influential people from around the world, and among them, he was the only one who didn't have a date.
• "Why have you chosen to be single tonight when there are so many single ladies here waiting for you to make a move?" Mr. Warren, who was seated with a young petite girl, said to Bryan.
• "I still can't figure out the reason either. You are a young man and have influence in the world. Use it pleasurably," another partner said. Bryan gave what they said some thought as he looked around and saw a lot of pretty girls winking at him. His eye suddenly caught sight of a beautiful damsel staring at him through her elegant mask. She wore a purple gown and a golden mask covering her face. Suddenly, he began feeling a strange connection to her.
