Annoyance: the author is pointing out a likely reason for the "guests" to come

Explanation:

A connotative meaning refers to a subjunctive meaning, not literal and different from the real meaning of the word, but associated with the context to which it refers, within the text. In the case of the expression "casual acquaintances" presented in the text shown below, we can interpret that this expression shows a connotative meaning of annoyance, where the author shows the presence of uninvited people who did not have the requested presence.
