Leandra swept her gaze around the main hall, finding that it was mostly empty.
Only a couple of people were left behind, and they, too, were about to head to the backyard—where the woman of the hour is going to cut the birthday cake. She found no sign of Lucivar, but she couldn't take it anymore.
She stopped a nearby guest, tapping her shoulder lightly.
"Where did the others go??"
"Vanessa is going to cut the cake in the backyard, sweetie. Come, let's go together."
Leandra gently refused the woman's offer as she tried to pull her away.
She put on a half-smile, hoping that this moment would be the window that she needed.
"Ah, actually, I'm searching for Tobias. Have you seen him?"
"Tobias? Hey, you can't be doing that, sweetie. You can't be stealing Vanessa's man like that. We are both women, and sisters have to look each other's back—not stab each other's back like this. Come on, don't get any funny idea."
"I think you misunderstand…"
