"Yes, yes, yes." Derila nodded repeatedly, "I'll just go to a bathroom, I won't get
lost."
"Alright then." The President's wife didn't insist any further, but made a gesture and
asked the maid to take her to the washroom.
Derila turned back and smiled at Daemon before she took her handbag and
followed the maid to the washroom.
The place was huge and it took a long corridor to get to the washroom.
If the maid hadn't led the way, Derila would have really gotten lost.
But she didn't really want to go to the washroom, after she went in, she touched up her
lipstick in the mirror and then took out her phone to return messages.
The phone had been vibrating while she was eating and she had wanted to check it for
a long time, but it didn't seem right to look at it in that kind of setting, so she had held
back.
There were a few messages from Monica on her phone –
"Ms.Feroma, have you gone in yet? I'm in the back."
"Ms.Feroma, I see you."
"Ms.Feroma, just take care of yourself, don't worry about me, I'm fine with a group of
bodyguards."
"I didn't expect it to be this kind of house banquet, I thought it was a western style open
banquet, the presidential palace is so high class and elaborate, and heavily guarded. It
seems you don't need my protection at all, I was overthinking it, haha…"
Derila had the same feeling as Monica, she used to attend those western style
open banquets where there were many and mixed people inside, and it would be easy
for something to happen.
But this family banquet tonight, it did seem a lot more peaceful.
There were only a few guests, not even many bodyguards and maids, and they were all
separated, so it seemed neat and orderly, and it was hard to hide a crisis.
Derila also felt that she was overthinking.
She sent a text message back to Monica and was composing it when a greeting
suddenly came from outside, "Ms.Penny!"
"Hmm." Penny answered, then walked in at a graceful pace.
Derila looked up and looked at Penny in the mirror, she was wearing a tight golden
dress, highlighting her good figure and her temperament was noble and elegant and
she was very tall, standing in front of Derila, pressing her by a head.
"I came especially to find you." Penny smiled and spoke slowly, "Let's talk?"
"Sure." Derila turned to look at her, "What do you want to talk about?"
"I do like Mr.Lierger and I want to marry him, but I didn't use any machinations to get
close to him, let alone announce any engagement to the public, " Penny said bluntly,
"The rumours that you've seen have nothing to do with me."
"Is that so?" Derila looked at Penny with a sincere face and was a little puzzled, "If
it's not you, then who is it? Who would be so boring as to create a gossip for someone
else?"
"These things are complicated, you wouldn't understand even if I told you." Penny
blurted out, and then explained, "Mr.Lierger said that you are very simple and have
not experienced power struggles, so you might not understand."
"That's also true." Derila didn't care, "I indeed don't understand, nor do I need to. In
fact, you don't need to talk to me, just talk to Daemon directly if you have anything, I
trust him."
"Hehe…" Penny laughed gently, "You are indeed a simple little woman!"
"What?" Derila didn't understand what she meant by that statement.
"Nothing." Penny curled her lips into a smile, "I just think that if you're so simple, I'm
afraid it's hard to protect yourself."
"Then I don't need to bother you." Derila was too lazy to talk to her further and
washed her hands, ready to leave.
"Actually, it's quite good to be a free and easy doctor." Penny suddenly added, "There's
really no need to get involved in such a complicated political struggle."
This sentence, Derila did listen to it, and it even touched her heart a little. She used
to think the same way, so she kept avoiding Daemon, just that later on, she really
couldn't avoid it anymore, she could only choose to face her heart.
