The gossip was spreading like wildfire, with the potential to circle back home, landing in the ears of teachers and classmates.
If her admirers ever found out, that would be utterly mortifying!
Who knew if srandom passerby snapped a photo, or if there's a video secretly making the rounds?
That would be a real headache.
Meanwhile, the household staff continued their hushed conversations.

Suddenly, someone spotted her lurking nearby, and with a start, they stood up straight, bowing respectfully, "Miss Serena, what
brings you here?"
The other servants looked over, dropping their chores to bow in turn, "Serena, we're so pleased you've come. Sir and madam will

With a practiced smile, Serena inquired, "Where's Aunt Eunice?"

affectionate smile.

Her voice quivered as she continued, "Aunt Eunice, I've missed you. Seems like all those church visits weren't in vain. My prayers
have been answered. Seeing you here, safe and sound, it's all worth it."
"You've been praying forin church?" Eunice looked down at her, smiling, "Why are you crying now?"
"It's nothing." Serena quickly turned her tears into a beam, "I'm just overjoyed to see you again, couldn't help it"
"You silly child,” Eunice chuckled.
“Aunt Eunice, you and sister are all dressed up; where are you heading?" Serena clung to Eunice's hand like a child, "Can you take
"We're off to Arlen's birthday bash. Your sister and | just need to drop by, Eunice explained with a smile. "Why don't you pick a
room to rest in? We'll be back before you know it."
There was an important matter to attend to tonight, and it wouldn't be appropriate to bring her along.
