From Drover’s gaze, he was a little more at ease. "You have such important people backing you. We don't have to worry so much."
After he finished speaking, Marius continued, "Yes, Sis Wan. I never thought that Petra White would be your mother. She’s a big fish in the business world. You also have Carlson Schuman and his wife who have certain positions in the political scene as your godparents. Oh my God, with your background, I’m convinced!" Marius gave me two thumbs up.
Looking at them, I actually felt a little guilty, "I'm sorry I've been hiding it from you. I just don't want too many people to know about it to prevent trouble."
Marius repeatedly expressed his understanding before Drover could say anything. "We understand. If I had so many big people behind me, I wouldn’t say anything either. It’d be too showy."
"If it were you, the whole world would’ve known about it," Drover scolded him mercilessly.
"How can you say that? How rude!"
Seeing them bicker, the haze from the past few days was swept away. My mood was much more relaxed, and I began to smile a little.
The two of them turned to me simultaneously as if they were happy because I was happy.
"Okay, the day’s affairs are over. You guys can head back first. I can handle this."
Drover and Marius were not as nervous as before, likely because they knew about my background. They left after giving me some more advice.
I went upstairs with my suitcase and stopped in front of the small room where I had stayed before. A message notification sounded from my phone. I fished it out and looked at it. It was a Whatsapp message from Nicky.
[Just stay in the room from before and don't cause trouble!]
