Universe Group.

On the day of the celebration party, the guests congregated and raised their glasses in a toast, filling the air with the clinking of crystal and the cheerful hum of celebration.

Loraine and Marco, as the esteemed hosts, graced the party with their presence, commanding attention as they moved through the crowd in seamless synchrony. They were designed to complement any clothing style and appeared stunning even without makeup.

They immediately became the center of attention that evening.

Marco, dressed in a sophisticated grey suit, displayed an air of nobility and charm.

Loraine didn't know if Marco intentionally coordinated their attire, but it seemed as if they were dressed as a couple. This troubled her, but she couldn't lose her composure amidst the crowd.

"No need, Loraine already has a partner."
