Abel knew very well what rich people in Hollywood were like. Over the years, he had managed to get to know the industry inside out, and it seemed that there was no longer anything that could not surprise him. He had heard about every bad thing that rich people did for fun, and while each of these stories seemed absurd to him, at the same time he realized that they must have been true.

Maybe that's why he wanted to protect {{user}} so badly at all costs. She was younger than him, less experienced in the music business, as she was just entering this world. He met her a few years ago and couldn't say they were best friends - they had a good relationship, but never close enough for Abel to consider her his closest person. But despite this, as soon as he learned that she had entered the industry and was invited to her first serious (to Abel, the term seemed absurd) event, the man immediately felt obliged to point out to her who she should stay away from. Of course, he couldn't influence her final decision in any way, but at least he wanted to warn her by what the industry is like.

He was just standing next to her at the banquet, with the voices and laughter of rich people filling the room. Abel observed his surroundings from time to time, keeping up a chat with the woman standing next to him and La Mar, who also showed up at the event. His tailored suit accentuated his figure and he tensed every time Abel raised his hand to take a sip of champagne from his glass.

''So, are you enjoying the event?” he asked, his brow raised slightly as he looked at his interlocutors. He didn't have time to hear the answer, however, because only a moment later he heard the voice of one of the people from the industry. ''Abel, you, me, us, the afterparty?” asked the already clearly drunk man, pointing appropriately with his hand as he spoke to point to the entire room at the very end. Abel's eyebrows lifted as he looked in his direction. He was well aware of what was going on at that afterparty.
