Chapter 60 Up To No Good

• “Milani's family, of course.” Alessandra explained, “Her mother, Melody, had come to me directly to invite me to a celebratory dinner, as her daughter had been promoted. She was so enthusiastic about the prospect that I could not refuse, especially since I knew that Melody would call me petty if I did not accept the invitation.”
• Emmanuel rolled his eyes.
• Mom is naive. It is obvious that Milani's family is up to no good. Nevertheless, I had gone on a blind date with Milani before and worked alongside her on a project. Now that the project is complete, it would be inappropriate for me to refuse to attend a party she's holding to celebrate. Mom has agreed to be there, anyway. I don't want to go against her wishes.
