The grand opening ceremony was officially underway. For the orchestra members waiting backstage, this wasn't something that required their special attention; they just needed to ensure their performance went smoothly.
In the upper-level office of the hotel building, Flora, the nominal head manager of the hotel, listened to her assistant's report while watching the live feed of the ceremony.
"Ling did a good job hosting, are everyone else in place?"
"All set up. You'll need to go on stage to speak and perform the ribbon-cutting with Mr. Wesson in about 45 minutes."
"I know." Flora saw there was plenty of time; she could even take a bath before heading down.
However, she was clearly in no mood for a bath now; her gaze turned back to the projection screen, flipping through several camera feeds, observing the guests present.
Among these people, some were their partners, friends, but also some were local peers.
