Stifling a yawn, Parker made his way over to the dessert table, picking up a mini-cupcake for himself as he tried not to look too conspicuous following the young woman around the party. He needed to get close, though. He had seen her talking with the CEO of HexCorp a few times, and they seemed to be friends (or more?) and it gave him such an odd, unsettling feeling about it. “Boring party, huh?” he asked. “At least the food is good, or else I would’ve left already.” Putting on a fake grin, he offered her the red velvet cupcake.
