Ryan, who was proudly showing off his beloved woman, inevitably attracted attention and gossip around them.
“Who's the girl by Mr. Hoffman's side? She’s as beautiful as a porcelain doll.”
“That's Ms. Carrie, the fourth young lady of the Salvador family!”
“Oh! You mean the youngest daughter of Chairman Salvador? She's also Shannon's daughter, right?”

A well-dressed young man stepped out, exuding elegance and sophistication in every movement, clearly of high status.
