"I guess," Vespera replied vaguely.

"...So, is it just you and him going?" Wanda asked.

"Of course not, there will be others too," Vespera replied calmly.

"Do you really have to go?"

"I'm his secretary, so it's part of my job."

"Vera..." Wanda hesitated before speaking her mind. "Maybe you should think about switching jobs. You spend so much time with him, and given the situation... Something's bound to happen sooner or later."

"It already has," Vespera thought to herself.

However, she knew that Vernon and Wanda were both conservative and principled.

If she admitted that she had slept with Dominic, Wanda would likely turn bright red and begin questioning where she had failed in raising her.

"Nothing will happen. I... I know my limits."

The words felt hollow, and a wave of guilt washed over Vespera.

She quickly finished her breakfast and rushed to her room to change.

Wanda sighed.
