THE SERENADE ESTATE

[7:02 PM]

THIRD PERSON'S P.O.V


Monday came sooner than expected.

Jude, Ravi, and Vera stood in a line of guests as they all waited for their turn with security. Jude and Ravi stood hand in hand as Marco stood with them, ready to tell the lies that he's brought them as his plus one. The three pretended as though they didn't know Vera or her presence, overall contributing to the mission. Carefully placing her invitation in the tall security guard's hand, Vera held her arms up as he patted her down and handing her clutch to another guard as he inspects it. Thankfully they don't catch or look at their jewelry too closely as they're laced with mics and cameras for Renée to inspect and spectate through.

Speaking of Renée, she sat protected and safe with Xander and Vincent in a sleek black car that stayed hidden and parked a few streets away from the venue. Renée cracks her knuckles as she looks through her high tech set up which showcased the large interior of the Serenade Estate. "Okay, we're inside" Xander states, as they stay on the phone with Mr. Kalonji, informing him what's going on.

The grand ballroom of the Serenade Estate shimmered under a canopy of crystal chandeliers, their light casting a warm, golden glow over the opulent setting. The soft strains of a string quartet floated through the air, mingling with the clink of fine china and the murmur of refined conversations. Guests in elegantly tailored suits and shimmering gowns moved gracefully across the polished marble floor, their laughter and chatter creating a backdrop of sophistication and luxury. Tonight, the Serenade Estate was more than just a venue—it was a stage for intrigue and deception, where secrets would be whispered behind closed doors, and the lives of those in power would hang in the balance. As the mayor's grand party unfolded, the core 8 were already in motion, their carefully laid plans inching closer to a dramatic climax that would challenge their every skill and resolve.

The moment Vera enters the room her captivating eyes search for her target. Although seduction is the last thing she wants to be doing tonight, she intends to do it professionally and swiftly. Her job is the easiest so far tonight, chat up Kang Minjae and get information.

Anything would do, Mr. Kalonji said, but getting the exact location of the defense general's training camp would give them great advantages.

Vera wears a sleek, form-fitting gown in a deep, seductive shade of crimson. The dress is made of luxurious silk that drapes effortlessly, with a high slit up one leg to reveal just a hint of her thigh. The bodice is adorned with intricate lace detailing and delicate beading that catches the light as she moves, drawing the eye subtly but effectively. She pairs the gown with a pair of long, silver drop earrings that shimmer with every turn of her head. A matching silver bracelet encircles her wrist, and a simple yet elegant diamond ring graces her right hand. Her clutch is a minimalist silver metallic that complements her accessories. Her stiletto heels are a matching shade of red, with a delicate strap around her ankle and a sleek, pointed toe. They add height and confidence to her stride.
