Ines burst out laughing at Phoebe's words, "What kind of logic is that? Are married women not afraid of trouble? Do married women not need to protect themselves?"
Phoebe felt a bit helpless, thinking that Ines' ideas after marriage were becoming outdated. After some thought, Phoebe said, "If you're not at ease, I can have our family driver come with us, you can also bring your driver. They can protect us, and also drive, so it's killing two birds with one stone. And bring your sweet sister too, I'm kinda liking her now. We can have fun together, the more the merrier, and we can look out for each other."
Seeing Phoebe's enthusiasm, Ines also thought it was a good idea. She always tended to overthink when she was alone, might as well go out and have some fun. Maybe it could help her relax.
"Alright, let's settle on that. I'll tell Emma later, see if she wants to come along. Don't bother going back home, have dinner at my place, and we'll set out after dinner."
Emma had been busy with work recently and hadn't had much time to relax. When Ines suggested it, she readily agreed.
With two male drivers, Silas let them go out without worry, only reminding them to come back early and not stay out too late.
The bar Phoebe picked was decent, but it was still a bar. When they walked in, there was someone singing on stage, and people dancing on the dance floor.
Without hesitation, Phoebe pulled Ines and Emma to the dance floor. Ines always thought she couldn't dance, but she found herself moving to the rhythm in that atmosphere. Emma really couldn't dance. What she had learned at home were formal social dances, she wasn't used to the freestyle dancing in the bar, and couldn't loosen up.
"Emma, no overthinking, just dance freely. There's no right or wrong here. Think of it as exercise. Just enjoy." Because the dance floor was noisy, they had to shout to be heard.
Emma nodded. It wasn't that hard, and she adapted after a while.
After a round of dancing, Ines was sweating profusely. It had been a long time since she did such intense exercise, she was a bit out of breath. Phoebe was also tired, so the three of them left the dance floor, found a spot, and ordered some drinks. By the time they sat down, both Phoebe and Ines were panting. Emma, on the other hand, didn't look tired at all.
"You're impressive, Emma. You don't look tired at all."
"That's because I'm physically fit, unlike you guys who've been spoiled by rich families since childhood." Emma smirked.
"You sound so jealous, as if your dad treats you badly. You've been living in the wealthy family for several years now."
Emma laughed, "Maybe it's because I've had to exercise more for my job recently."
Just as Phoebe was about to say something, she spotted a woman not far away. She couldn't help but tug at Ines' sleeve and said, "Izzy, doesn't that woman look like Silvia?"
