Back at the Acharya's birthday party, 7:16 PM....
After the brief introduction and familiarization amongst Mrs Perez's rich friends, who couldn't stop admiring Ruby's gorgeous and daring outfit, it was time to meet the celebrants – the Acharyas.
Kelvin Acharya, a stoic man in his mid-sixties, with slightly greying brown hair, was in the middle of an economic and political debate with his wealthy friends when Mrs Perez walked up to him, accompanied by a stunning young lady.
"Hello, gentlemen." Mrs Perez greeted casually, welcoming a peck on the cheek from her husband who was in the group. "I hope I'm not interrupting."
"Not at all, Julie. Looking gorgeous as ever." Kelvin's stern features melted into a teasing grin.
"Aww...how sweet. Thank you." Mrs Perez replied with a cheerful smile.
Ruby greeted politely, her voice trembling slightly as all the old men studied her with keen interest.
