Chapter 251: Seeing A Future Not So Far Away
Rory walked into the party hall holding Liam’s hand. Their ride there was very silent. Rory wanted to tell him the good news but he looked a lot stressed. she decided to wait till they reach back home.
Maybe he sensed that she was stressed too, but he didn’t let go of her hand. The big hall was filled with people. Most of them were old. She and Liam were the very few young people in the hall.
They went not too early and not too late. Rory expected that they’d be ignored completely. But many came and talked to them.
The past few months altogether have been terrible for them. Although Liam tried to concentrate on business, with the trial going on, they were not in a clear headspace to concentrate entirely on business.
Even in the party hall, they weren’t in the mood to enjoy themselves. They tried to make more acquaintances along the way. It was surprising for Rory to learn how many of those political people knew her grandfather.
Some people from the military-industrial complex were there. After retiring from the military-industrial complex, they’ve assumed high-level positions in various corporations. And they all mentioned her grandmother with reverence and fear. Rory thought she saw relief in their eyes when she told them that her grandmother’s condition hadn’t improved.
She could sense those guys were not her friends, but it was not hard for them to make acquaintances. Liam stayed close to her, and he also made acquaintances with many of them with them exchanging their business cards.
She knew that she could contact them if there were something that would benefit both of them. There were some who stayed away from them not wanting to mingle with them. Liam took note of them.
She wanted to attend the party for this reason. She wanted to know who can get on their side. This would be pretty important in the future when they develop their business. They will know who to trust and who not to.
Parties are not just for entertainment. It’s where you hustle.
