"What is it?" Daisy asked curiously when she saw Jolie suddenly approach.

"I need to step out for a bit," Jolie replied.

Daisy frowned, clearly displeased. "But the banquet isn't over yet."

Jolie hesitated, not wanting to explain, but she knew that without mentioning Gavin, Daisy wouldn't let her leave so easily. "It's for Mr. Cooper," she finally said.

At once, Daisy's expression lit up with delight. "Oh, in that case, go ahead! Handle it well, and don't let Mr. Cooper down."

"Got it," Jolie said with a nod, before turning and heading upstairs.

While she made her way up, Gavin informed Terence that he was leaving.

Terence, eager to make him stay, tried his best to persuade him otherwise, his demeanor deferential and eager. Having Gavin attend the banquet was an immense honor, and Terence was desperate to keep him there as long as possible. However, Daisy recalled Jolie mentioning she needed to leave for Gavin's sake, and something clicked in her mind.

"Well, let's not delay Mr. Cooper. Do come by for a proper visit another time. Our Jolie is quite the cook; you should try her cooking."

Gavin's eyes flickered with interest as he replied, "Is that so? I'll make sure to visit next time."

"Great," Daisy said with a smile, watching as Gavin left and got into his car.
