Adrian was a patient host, though he derived his superficial mingling from the deep reservoirs of his disciplined soul to endure it. He checked in on each guest, and ensured everyone had what they needed. His outward demeanor was relaxed and welcoming, if a little stiff, yet beneath the surface, his mind was at work, observing and analyzing. His gaze often studied the men in the room. He was subtly trying to sense something unusual about any of them, suspecting that one might be a channeler, and after that, the saboteur.
Adrian had always had a knack for reading people, but his true insight came from visiting their dreams. However, he needed to personally meet those whose minds he intended to visit, hence the purpose of this impromptu party.
Mid-conversation, a realization struck Adrian. There was someone missing, someone he had specifically wanted at this gathering. Excusing himself, he stepped aside to communicate with his building staff.
Security, is the last guest still in the building?
A few moments later, his staff responded. We've located him, Mr. Kane. A security image was also transmitted.
Send someone to invite him and Miss Lin upstairs. Make sure they accept the invite.
As the staff carried out his orders, Adrian returned to his hosting duties, outwardly as calm and charismatic as ever.
