Chapter 17

Drusilla got up from the table and grabbed my hand. Confused, I asked her. “Where are you taking me?”

She replied. “I just don’t want Cal to think I am making his precious girl slog, so you better tell that to him upfront.”

Precious girl?

I blinked and asked. “But did you not say he was in some meeting?”

She shook her head vigorously, her hair flying all around. “Nothing is more important than this. Did you look at this place? This mansion needs some major excitement and this event will infuse some energy in this dull, gloomy place.”

She kept dragging me and I looked down at myself. I was still wearing my pajamas.

“At least let me change.”

As much as I wanted to leave, the thought of walking in on a meeting where everybody was seated in nice formal attire and me just barging into the room wearing pajamas made me feel a bit weird.

Drusilla said that they had not had any event here in ages and if I walked in demanding to be in charge of the event while wearing the night pajamas, what impression would I leave on everybody?

I pictured them all laughing at me, and I resisted Drusilla. She turned back to look at me and gave me a quick once over.

She seemed to have forgotten what I was wearing as well.

“Uh, well, yeah. You do need to change.”

I felt relieved by the fact. I was also stalling for time, wondering what to tell Callahan, so he would listen to me and not doubt

And the fact that I was going to see him again made me nervous all over again.

For some reason, he both terrified me and made me feel drawn to him. I just did not know how to react in front of him.

So, I needed some time to think and prepare myself. Drusilla let go of my hand and pushed me to the room I had been sleeping in.
