"I'm really sorry for delaying everyone just now," Irene Spencer announced, taking a glass of water from her assistant. "Tonight, let's go for barbecue, my treat! Everyone has to come; anyone who doesn't is disrespecting me."
"Long live Sister Spencer!"
Cheers arose from the crowd.
Irene Spencer turned to Vera Wave, who was about to remove her makeup.
"Vera..."
Vera, who had walked a short distance away, turned around when she heard her voice.
"Sister Spencer, you called me?"
A strange look of panic flickered across Irene Spencer's face, then was quickly replaced by a smile.
"Your name is Vera Wave, isn't it? You're not used to being called Vera, are you?!"
"Not at all. I just didn't expect you to call me that," Vera laughed.
"Remember to join us for barbecue later!"
With a laugh, Irene Spencer walked off to change clothes and remove makeup in her nanny car.
