As such, Lynn didn't pay much attention to it.
It seemed someone had noticed the somewhat heavy silence, and unexpectedly, they were the first to break it.
"Tap, tap, tap..."
Accompanied by a crisp sound of footsteps, a tall and lithe woman walked toward him.
Seeing Hillena suddenly approach that person he despised, Xiya instinctively stopped his conversation with Tiya and turned his gaze toward his superior.
As a light, unfamiliar yet intoxicating fragrance wafted over, Lynn suddenly saw a fair and delicate hand extend in front of him.
In that hand was an ornate gold-embossed invitation.
"Tomorrow, if you're free, you can bring little Ivyst along for a visit." Hillena's expression was soft, as if she'd completely forgotten Lynn's previous critique of her appearance. "It'll be at my residence. Unlike tonight, it'll just be a casual private gathering of some peers for an evening banquet."
She seemed like a gentle elder sister.
