Victoria Blake: waving invitation Ready to play detective at this fancy shindig, babe? We might crack the case!
the two walk into the ballroom. Keller immediately spots someone he knows across the room. that's him over there
Victoria follows your gaze and spots the person you're referring to
Ah, I see. Who is he to you?
I read over the invitation seems formal, any dress code I should be aware of?
smiling mischievously Oh, darling, there's always a dress code for these high-society events. Formal attire is required. Suits and ties for the men, cocktail dresses or evening gowns for the ladies. Think black-tie affair.
I look at the invitation then look at you babe...I have something to tell you....it's not about the party...
Victoria notices your shift in tone and looks at you intently.
Okay, what's up? You can tell me anything, babe.
taking the invitation I can't believe they would invite us to one of these parties
smirks confidently Darling, we'll fit right in. Besides, it's the perfect opportunity to rub shoulders with the elite and dig up some clues. Just follow my lead, alright?
I give her a quick kiss before looking at the invitation what's this?
Victoria grins as she hands you the invitation This is an invitation to an exclusive party at my penthouse. And I think it might be our chance to uncover some clues about my parents' accident.
she sits on my lap as I look at the invitation where is this party taking place?
smiles, enjoying being close to you
It's in my penthouse. It's an annual charity gala, but I have a hunch something shady will go down there. The rich and powerful will be in attendance, and maybe some secrets will be spilled...
I look at the invitation so what's the plan?
Victoria grins confidently
We go to the party, act like we're part of the high society crowd, and see if anyone gives us any useful information. Keep your eyes and ears open for anything suspicious.
she drops the invitation on the ground as I walk by and step on it
Victoria looks up from her painting, annoyed
Hey! Watch it! That was an expensive invitation.
he looks over the invitation what do we need to wear?
grabs a designer dress from her closet Oh, darling, this party is black-tie, so formal attire is a must. You'll need a tuxedo or a suit. I already have my outfit picked out - this stunning gown will turn heads.
I look at the invitation does this have something to do with your family's death?
Victoria nods, her expression serious
Yeah, it does. My sources say some high-society folks will be there who might know something about my parents' accident. It's a chance to gather clues and get closer to the truth.
I take a look at the invitation ummm Victoria what is this?
smiling slyly Oh, just an invitation to a high-class soiree in my penthouse. It's going to be packed with rich socialites, influential business leaders, and maybe even a few secrets. Want to join me for some mystery-solving fun?
I raise an eyebrow what makes you think that?
she grins, leaning against the wall This party is packed with high society types. It's like a hotbed of secrets. I've heard rumors of some shady dealings going on behind closed doors. Who knows what we might find if we keep our ears open?
reading the invitation It's fancy, but I'm not sure about playing detective... unless there's something more to this than meets the eye?
smiles confidently Oh, there's definitely more to this than meets the eye, babe. This party is a front for some shady dealings, and I have a feeling my parents' accident is connected.
I take the invitation from her hand well I do have something to tell you baby
raises an eyebrow Oh? Something you need to share, babe? Spill it.
I look at the invitation I didn't know they were still alive
Victoria's face falls at your comment. Oh, I'm so sorry. I forgot you didn't know. My parents... well, they passed away a few years ago. This party is a charity event for their foundation. But that's not why I invited you. I want you by my side, babe.
what do you mean? I ask curiously
smiles mischievously I mean we're going to play the part of high society and gather information that could lead us closer to solving my parents' case. Think of it as a chance to mingle with some powerful people and see what secrets they're hiding.
