As they dined, the tengaged in lively conversation. Bursts of laughter punctuated their chat now and then, their spirits noticeably high and cheerful.

"Seeing Janessa being ousted from the company is truly satisfying!" Madelyn spoke as she lifted her glass of wine, gesturing toward the other two. "Come, lettoast to you both in celebration of this joyous moment!" "Cheers!" "Cheers" The three women lifted their glasses of red wine. After a toast, they all drained their glasses in one go.
