Getting married?

Carol was getting hitched?

There was a momentary pause on the other end of the line, then a sense of urgency crept into her voice.

"How long have you known Felix, and are you serious? Would Mr. Miller approve?"

She had met Mr. Miller once, and he had always emphasized that marriage must be between equals; otherwise, life together would

be a misery.

So, when Carol started dating Felix, she kept it a secret from the Miller clan.

"Maja, I've got a bit on my plate right now, can't chat. I'll give you a ring later, okay? Bye, my dear."

Carol sounded breezy, not at all like someone with a problem.

After hanging up, Carol tilted her head back, gazing out at the sunset.

Tonight, there was a banquet in Greenfield, a well-known charity gala, attended by many. Star Movie Group had received an

invitation, too.

With Maja out of the picture, Zoey was once again the one to attend.

After getting all dolled up, Zoey stared at her pale reflection in the mirror and asked the makeup artist to lay on another layer of

blush.
