"Hey, easy... relax. It's just me." Raymond said, extending his hands.
Coral gathered herself quickly.
"Sorry. I didn't see you coming." She glanced at the stage once before looking at him.
"Yeah, I noticed."
Raymond followed her line of sight before looking back at her. "Is there any problem?" He asked with concern.
"N‑no, sir. I was just looking for my friends."
"Oh, I see." Raymond nodded.
Though the way Coral was looking worried, it was clear that there was something going on in her mind. But he didn't push it further.
"By the way, you are looking gorgeous." Raymond flashed her a wide smile.
"Thank you." Coral returned the smile.
She didn't feel as uneasy around him as she thought she would be. She could now feel that he was not a bad guy. He was just a little flirtatious. She felt on edge around Heath Knight. He gave off a bad‑guy vibe to her.
"Are you enjoying the party? Why are you alone?" Raymond asked.
"Yes.. it's good. I'm just searching for my friend."
