Vera casually reached for a pair of gardening scissors and turned to the roses on the stone table.

“I know you care about the Harding Group,” she continued as she cut the thorns of the roses.

Vera’s words gave Kelly some comfort.

“You’ve taught me well, Mrs.Harding.lt is my duty to give the Harding Group my best effort.”

Kelly was hinting that she had no intention to go anywhere.Vera looked at her in the eyes.

In an impassive tone, she said, “If you have anything to say. just say it.”

“Ma’am, the charity ball will take place in a few days,” Kelly said, making an effort to choose her words carefully.

“Do you think she can take part in it? She’s not feeling well today, after all, and the ball might wear her out.” Vera sighed heavily and set the roses down.

“I have intended to ask Garrett to take Laney to the ball.I also want Laney to come across well to my friends.On the other hand, I would like her to make friends with other ladies.Only in this way could these ladies share ideas and resources that will be beneficial to the Harding Group.” She paused for a moment and then sighed again.

“It will be a pity if she can’t go to the party.” Kelly’s eyes darkened.

What Vera said was practically something that she could do and more.But Laney, being married to a Harding, had taken them away from her.

“We must attend such an important party.lf Mrs.Harding can’t go, ma’am, you may consider having another person to take her place.” Kelly made an act of being concerned.

Still gazing at the flowers. Vera asked. “Do you have someone in mind?”

Kelly replied with a thoughtful expression, “With all due respect, I believe I can attend the ball with Mr.Harding as his secretary.Although it’s not my responsibility to interact with those rich ladies, I’ll do it for Mrs.Harding’s sake.I’ll talk to them, find out what they like and let Mrs.Harding know when I come back.”

Vera looked up at Kelly.
