After closing the door, Layla drugged Perry at once.
The focus in Perry's eyes faded away as she began removing her clothes.
Without hesitation, Derila changed into Perry's outfit and allowed Layla to dress her up as Perry.
Then, Layla helped Perry put on Derila's gown and left her sleeping on the sofa before the two of them exited the room.
"Would people notice?"
Derila was worried.
Layla urged, "We don't have time to think about that now.The ambulance is already here.Hurry up.By the time they found out about Perry, we'd already left the presidential palace with the ambulance."
"Okay then."
Derila said nothing else and followed Layla out of the room.
At that time, Heidi and Samantha were still guarding the door.
They didn't suspect anything when Layla and "Perry" came walking out.
Samantha even turned to make sure "Derila" was still lying on the couch lazily like she always did. However, due to the angle, all she could see were her legs and the hem of her gown.
Derila trailed behind Layla in a calm demeanor.
After all, that was not the first time she had done something like that.Besides, Layla's disguising skills were perfect.
Though they didn't have much time to touch up on the details, it was still enough to deceive the eyes of the average person.
The duo reached the corner of the long corridor and was about to head out from another corridor when suddenly, Penny and the others came walking toward them.
Panicking, Derila instinctively lowered her head.
Layla, on the other hand, remained calm as she led Derila past them.
All of a sudden, Penny called out to them, "Wait"
The two of them could only stop in their tracks.
Maintaining her composure, Layla lifted her head and smiled at Penny.
"Can I help you, Ms. Pakison?"
"Who is she?"
Penny stared at Derila, who was disguised as Perry.
"She's Perry, the nurse of the Lierger family.She was just transferred back here from M Nation; introduced Layla, sounding as normal as possible.
"A nurse? Can she speak Erihalean?"
Penny fixed her eyes on Derila.
"No.Ms.Riri can't speak Erihalean, too.That's why we transferred Perry back to look after her' Layla explained.
"I see."
Penny gave Derila one last stare before looking away and saying politely, "Don't mind me, I'm just curious.Please, carry on"
"Well then, please excuse us."
Layla bowed courteously and left with Derila.
Though Derila didn't say a word throughout the whole exchange, she looked quite composed.
However, she still sensed that Penny seemed to have noticed something.
"Don't worry.She's dying to see you leave.Even if she notices something, she won't say anything." whispered Layla.
Derila pondered about it and agreed with Layla.
Indeed, her departure was great news to Penny, so the latter would never expose her.
Meanwhile, Penny approached the lounge and saw Heidi knocking on the door from a distance away.
"Ms.Riri? Is everything all right in there? Ms.Riri?"
What answered her was complete silence.
Both Heidi and Samantha exchanged a glance and were about to push the door open when Penny called out, "What are you doing?"
"Ms.Pakison, Ms.Riri has been in there for a long time, and there isn't any noise.We're worried, so we wanted to go in and have a look' Heidi explained.
Penny grinned.
"She's probably asleep.She's always sleepy, isn't she? I was thinking of checking on her too, but now it seems we should just let her rest.Don't disturb her."
Upon finishing her sentence, she asked two of her subordinates to stay behind and ordered them, "I'm going to the main hall to find Mr.Adams and Mr.Lierger.The two of you stay here, and if there's anything, notify me."
"Yes, Ms.Pakison."
Before leaving in a hurry, Penny nodded at Heidi and Samantha as a sign of goodbye.
The two bodyguards had no choice but to wait outside since Penny had said so.
In the meantime, Derila and Layla finally reached the back hall and were about to leave when Derila caught a glimpse of Daemon through a window by accident.
He was sitting elegantly on the sofa with his side profile facing the window as he listened to what Frank was saying.
His body language showed an obvious sign of annoyance, and there was concealed anger within his eyes.
