“Would you like to attend a Kingsley event gala with me?” The question sat between them, light in delivery but heavy in meaning. Daniel blinked once, his brows lifting slightly as he looked at Amelia from across the café table. There was a small smile on her face, but something about the way she held her phone told him this wasn’t just some random weekend invitation. “I’m not sure I follow,” he said carefully. Without much of a choice, Amelia sighed softly and placed her phone on the table, sliding it toward him. “Here,” she said. “Read it.” Daniel picked it up. His expression stayed neutral as his eyes moved over the invitation. Elegant. Formal. Kingsley Technologies Annual Gala. Hosted by Alexander Kingsley. A celebration of company growth, shareholders, partners, and future
