Chapter 97: Back at the ball

"Nah. Oh, my God!" She moaned.

Although I know she's pretending, it looks damn real that I was tempted to go and check on her.

"Are you alright, Marli?"

"What's wrong with your stomach?"

"Did you eat something you are allergic to?"

The guards knelt around her with their eyes widened in shock.

"Argh!" Marli cried out once more. "My stomach, help, my stomach!" She groaned in pain.

"We will take you back. Don't worry."

Two of the guards rose from the ground and helped Marli to rise.

"Argh!" Marli cried out once more.

"Don't worry, we will take you to the house. I will call the boss—"

"No, I will be better when I sleep." Marli said in a low voice, "just take me to the house."

"Okay."

The guards took her past the place I was standing, and Marli gave me the thumbs up.
