Bab 407: King's Birthday Party (3)

Before Scarlett could respond, Theodor interrupted again to answer Maggie's question.

"Yes, my sister-in-law has set up a company in this country, so..." Theodor excitedly explained, prompting a secret smile from Scarlett.

"Really? Which company, if I may ask?" Maggie stole a glance at Scarlett, but as their eyes met, she noticed a flicker of awkwardness in Scarlett's gaze.

Maggie smiled at her before speaking, "Scarlett, I apologize for prying. I was just curious. Perhaps I can assist you in setting up your company here in the city..."

"It's alright, miss..." Scarlett paused as she saw Maggie raise her hand, gesturing for her to stop.
