Janie,” Emmeline quickly informed Janie, “the Struyria Banquet, five o’clock.”

Janie’s excitement was palpable as she exclaimed, “Wow, Emma! You actually manage to ask Mr. Benjamin out? How did you do it? And what’s your relationship with him? You must be someone special, right?”

“You’re asking a lot of questions!” Emmeline replied, “I’m just a coffee seller who works part-time as a stunt double.”

Benjamin nodded and replied, “Oh, I see. I also have something to

“Thank you, Mr. Benjamin. Thank you very much!” Janie bowed quickly.
