Derila was slightly more relieved now, thinking that she would be happy for her
auntie Layla and Uncle Lincoln if they did go to the mountains together to live in
seclusion.
"It's getting late, Ms.Feroma get ready, at five o'clock, sir will be back to pick you up."
Charles looked at his watch and said, "The make-up team is already waiting
downstairs."
"Huh?" Derila froze, "What make-up team? Where's the make-up team picking me
up?"
"There's a party in the evening that the gentleman said he would take you to, have you
forgotten?" Charles reminded.
"Oh, it seems to be…" Derila remembered afterwards.
"Ms.Feroma, let me wait for you to bathe and dress first."
Norah led a few maids upstairs and embraced Derila as she went back to her
room.
"I Cann't go." Derila was a little repulsed, "I don't like to go to parties."
"Sir has made all the arrangements, he will be unhappy if you don't go." Norah smiled
and coaxed, "Later on, when you become a lady, you will always have to entertain."
Derila was still pushing back, when a familiar voice came, "I am a friend of
Ms.Feroma!"
Derila whipped her head around to see Monica standing outside the door holding it,
stopped by a few maids.
"Monica!" Derila hurriedly got up to greet her, "Let her in."
"Yes, Ms.Feroma!" The maids owed a bow and let Monica in.
Monica limped in and said apologetically to Derila, "Ms.Feroma, I'm sorry, am I
disturbing you?"
"No, I'm just about to take a bath." Although Derila didn't like the fact that Monica
was rushing her to deal with William's affairs, she could understand her and at the same
time consider her a friend.
After all, Monica had saved Derila three times.
"I'll stay with you." Monica held her up.
"Good." Derila dismissed the others and went into the bathroom with Monica,
"Monica, do you have something to tell me?"
"It's nothing much, I just wanted to say that you should go to the dinner party." Monica
said softly, "Think about it, so many women out there are eyeing Mr.Lierger, if you
don't go to assert your sovereignty, then they all think they have an opportunity to take
advantage of it. Especially that Penny, who is even rumoured to be engaged to Sir, and
if you, the decent girlfriend, don't show up, people will think she is Sir's fiancée."
"That's true." Derila frowned, "But I'm quite annoyed with this kind of thing, I think
men have to rely on self-awareness, Daemon should take the initiative to explain the
situation to the public."
"Isn't he just trying to take the initiative to explain the situation now? By bringing you to
the party, he's telling everyone that you're his fiancée and that everyone else is just a
false rumour."
Monica hastened to say, "Look, he's going to take the initiative to make it clear, and it
would be too much for him if you didn't go."
"You're right." Derila nodded, "Fine, just go."
"That's right." Monica asked tentatively, "Can I come with you? In case something
happens, I can still protect you."
"It wouldn't be a problem, but your leg is injured." Derila looked at her injured leg.
"It's okay, it's not a big injury. I'll just take some painkillers and then it'll be fine." Monica
said hurriedly, "His Highness sent me to protect you, I always have to do my duty,
besides, I'm too bored to bring it alone in my room, you can just take me to see it."
"Okay." Derila couldn't withstand her pleading, "I'll have someone prepare a
convenient gown for you later, and you can accompany me."
"Mm-hmm." Monica was overjoyed and nodded her head repeatedly.
Two hours later, both of them were dressed and Derila took Monica downstairs.
Daemon had just returned and was talking on the phone in the main hall.
Harrison and the others all saluted Derila in greeting, and they were all a little
surprised to see her holding Monica, but they couldn't ask too many questions.
