As I step through the colossal entrance, adorned with smooth wooden panels and embellished glass windows, I am greeted by a shift in temperature, from the crispness of the outside air to the inviting warmth within. This mansion, teeming with life and grandeur, sprawls before me.
"Hey! You, the man in white!" A lively tone encompassed me as I stepped foot into this opulent mansion. The voice belonged to a man dressed in a flamboyant rainbow-colored suit, his vibrant attire matching the grandeur of the surroundings. Despite the initial surprise, I managed to steady my nerves after the encounter.
Regret washed over me as I reflected upon my interaction with Miss Cooper. In hindsight, I realized that my behavior was inappropriate. However, I couldn't help but feel a sense of disdain towards the staff, who seemed to be treating us as mere sources of amusement.
Taking a deep breath to compose myself, I greeted the man, "Hello." As I glanced past him, my eyes fell upon a group of men scattered throughout the expanse of the mansion. The sheer size of the space was awe-inspiring, and I couldn't help but marvel at its magnificence.
"Hello, my name is Ricky Gunther. Lucky to meet me!" he exclaimed with an energetic tone, flashing a wide smile as he eagerly grabbed my arm and shook it vigorously. His sudden enthusiasm caught me off guard, causing me to momentarily freeze. Despite my initial surprise, I allowed him to continue shaking my hand, only to realize that my palms were still clammy from nervousness. I attempted to pull away, but his firm grip persisted, leaving me unable to escape his enthusiastic handshake.
"Nice to meet you. Uh, my name is Noe Carter," I awkwardly stated, my unease evident as I attempted to withdraw my hands.
Ricky's face lit up with a wide smile as he exclaimed, "Noe Carter, what a cute name you have!" He continued to vigorously shake my hand, seemingly unfazed by its clamminess.
Finally, I managed to break free, acutely aware of my discomfort. However, Ricky couldn't resist making a comment about it, touching his own hand and remarking, "So moist!" His tone was laced with sarcasm as he added, "So, what exactly happened? This isn't Alayra's, is it?" His grin widened, clearly enjoying his own joke.
