บท 41: The cause of her miseries

Daisy turned around to face the man. After a few moments of silence, she crossed her arms in front of her chest, ''I don't know what gave you the impression that I am in desperate need for your employment opportunity but trust me, I am not,'' As soon as she finished speaking, she left the place without letting the man respond to her words.

Once she was back into the ballroom, she glanced behind herself and sighed in relief noticing that the man had not followed. 

Even if he saw through her disguise, they had no connections. This was probably their first and last meeting hence her secret was safe. 

No one would know that she was not a man, but a woman. 

''Dexter?" 

Daisy halted in her tracks when she heard a feminine voice calling out her alibi's name. 

''Dexter, I know it's you. What are you avoiding me for?" The woman raised her voice, gaining the attention of a few people who were mingling around them.
