“Ms. West, it’s such an honor to meet you. We really admire you and just wanted to say a quick hello. Sorry to interrupt!”
With that.
she immediately pulled Alice away.
Vera, what are you doing? I finally got my chance to talk to Ms. West! Why did you drag me off like that?”
They had barely made it a dozen feet when Alice angrily shook free from Vera, glancing back toward Daphne, who was already surrounded by a crowd.
Are you out of your mind? Alice, didn’t you notice how respectful Ms. West is toward Robin?” Vera asked seriously.
Alice narrowed her eyes, watching Daphne and Robin from afar. “That sneaky guy–he must’ve done something to trick Ms. West!”
“Alice, can’t you be a little more realistic? Vera sighed. Even if Daphne was fooled by Robin, do you think telling her now would change her mind?
“She’d probably just think you’re badmouthing him, and then you’d be in trouble. Everyone in Harmonfield knows what happens if you cross the queen of Violetcrest.”
Alice finally quieted down, feeling a shiver of regret over her impulsive behavior.
“Vera, you’re always looking out for me. I got distracted, all because of that obnoxious Robin.”
Moving through the crowd, Alice was surprised to see Daphne accept a towel from Rita, and then hand it over to Robin with respect.
Just then, Shirley arrived, watching as Daphne and a group of elegant maids and guards all gathered. around Robin. A flicker of something unreadable passed through her eyes.
After wiping his hands, Robin passed the towel back to Rita, while Daphne stepped forward to brush dust off his jacket and adjust his slightly askew tie.
Seeing him take it all in stride, Shirley abruptly pushed Rita and the maids aside, linking her arm with his and steering him toward the elevator.
“Why are you dragging me? Let go of me,” Robin grumbled, feeling disoriented by Shirley’s sudden move.
She never asked for permission–she just did whatever she wanted without a second thought.
Amber followed them, jogging along.
Watching Shirley practically pull Robin into the elevator like he was helpless, Amber couldn’t help but
chuckle.
Daphne and the others were momentarily stunned but quickly gathered themselves and followed, the maids and guards trailing after them.
