#Chapter 140: A Day in the Life

Moana

A few days passed by after the networking event. Things felt peaceful in the penthouse, and although I really only stayed in with Ella to stay away from the paparazzi, I didn’t mind. It was relaxing to stay inside and away from the public, and I spent a lot of time drawing and reading with Ella, which was nice after being so busy lately. I just hoped that events such as the networking event were few and far between. Although I enjoyed spending the evening with Edrick and watching the comedy show together that night, I didn’t like the other people that were there and I feared that I would see many of the same people at future events like that.

However, it seemed that my reprieve was brief, because Edrick came to me a few days later and told me about another upcoming event that I would have to attend with him.

“I need you to come to a work event with me tomorrow morning,” Edrick said casually as he stirred his tea on Thursday morning before work.

I felt my shoulders sag as he told me this. I was still tired from the last event, and I didn’t feel up to mingling with more celebrities and businessmen who looked down on me because of my social status.

“Do I have to go?” I asked, a bit sheepishly. “I’m still tired after that first event.”

Edrick sighed. “I know you are. But this event will be different, I promise.”
