Dumating ang araw ng anibersaryo ng kumpanya. Ito ay ginanap sa sikat na Great Royal Hotel na kilala ng lahat.

Napakaraming mararangyang sasakyan ang dumadaan at nagbaba ng sakay sa harap ng pasukan ng hotel na animo'y parang baraha sa pagka sunod sunod. Nakakasilaw na hanay ng mga kilalang tao, sosyalidad at yaong kabilang sa pinakamakapangyarihang at maimpluwensyang tao ng Lungsod ay nagtipon dito ngayon upang ipagdiwang at igalang ang prestihiyosong 25th Annibersaryo ng Golden Dragon Corporation.

Biglang, isang Volkswagen Phaeton, na may makinis na metal na pintura, ang tumigil sa daanan ng hotel at ang bellhop ay umusad upang buksan ang pinto.

Bumaba si Kent sa sasakyan, ang lahat ng mga bisita ay huminto upang makita siya. Nakasuot siya ng isang itim na suit na may disenyo na pin bilang prinsipe at sa loob ay isang puting mahabang manggas na may isang silver na disenyo sa isang kwelyo at may itim na kurbatang sa leeg.Naka ayos ang kanyang buhok kaya ito ay naging mas gwapo tignan.

Pagdating ni Kent sa lugar ng pagdiriwang, agad siyang nilapitan ng mga reporter at biniro siya.

Pumasok siya sa banquet hall at nakipagkamay sa mga tao.

The banquet hall was a grand space, to say the least. The walls were covered with a shimmering gold paper and in the middle of the ceiling above the carved oak table was a candelabra. Ang makintab na pilak na kubyertos ay mabigat sa kamay at kuminang nang maliwanag sa ilaw ng gabi.

Sa bawat lugar ay may nakalagay na baso ng alak na walang laman at may mga magandang nakatiklop na table-napkin. Ang silid ay dinagsa ng mga magagandang kababaihan, ipinapakita ang kanilang kamangha-manghang mga alahas at makikisig na binata, tumatawa at nakikipag-kwentuhan tungkol sa negosyo at politika.

Sinimulan ng emcee ang seremonya ng programa. Pagkatapos nito, tinawag ng emcee si Kent para sa kanyang talumpati bilang may-ari at CEO ng Golden Dragon Corporation.
