Elara had not received any invitation card from Relanie, and she had wondered if something had gone wrong. But she did not think too deeply about it. Relanie had invited her personally, and Elara believed that should be enough.
Still, just in case, she slipped her ID card into her bag. The card showed clearly that she was a sponsored artist under the Vale family, and she believed that would be enough proof if anything came up.
By the time Ziva arrived, the sky had already grown dark. They took a cab together, and not long after, they arrived at the entrance of the Vale mansion.
The entrance was already very grand on a normal day, but tonight it looked even more impressive. Luxury cars were coming in and out, and well-dressed guests walked here and there. Everything looked expensive and perfectly arranged.
Elara stepped out of the cab before Ziva and looked around quietly. Ziva walked straight to the security desk while Elara followed behind her.
