Charis looked down at her glass of wine, unable to hide the disappointment in her eyes.Ethan swept a glance over the room, then made a point of glancing at his watch.Without another word, he stood up and buttoned his suit jacket.

"It’s getting late, and I still have work to do.Enjoy yourself."

He had only attended the party for formality’s sake.

"Do you need my help with anything?" They had only been talking for a few minutes.

“This party is all about you.There’s no point in you disappearing in an event held in your honor."
