The banquet is Chinese-style, the private room is luxurious, with a group of ten or so people gathered around one table, and Harvey Howard sits at the head seat as a matter of course.
Harvey Howard's female companion stays by his side, smiling towards Little Goldfish several times.
Aaron Ray can't help but wonder if he's overthinking it? Perhaps Harvey Howard has no interest in Little Goldfish, and it's just that his companion and Little Goldfish hit it off, so he specially invited her? After all, Harvey Howard recently seems quite fond of this female star.
Glasses clink at the table.
Pleasantries, polite words, flattery, and praise fill the entire private room.
Aaron Ray handles it with ease, but having something on his mind makes him a bit distracted.
