Amber hesitated, noticing the impatience in Diana’s name, but she figured it was probably jur because they were strangers.
Trying to be polite, Amber responded, “We’re colleagues of Rosalie’s. Nace to meet you. Daa
Diana gave them another scrutinizing look, “Are you Rosalie’s colleagues? Dat the ie you toys us for dinner?”
Amber smiled and nodded. “Yes, that’s right.”
Diana frowned, eyeing Shirley and Amber’s plain outfits, and added a warning, Fine, but let me say taxes upfront: when you’re in the room, don’t just talk randomly
“Um… “Shirley and Amber exchanged a surprised look unsure what Diana meant.
“There are some executives from Southvale Development Group inside discussing work Diana clarified
“If you say the wrong thing, you’ll disrupt their conversation.”
Amber raised an eyebrow. “Discussing work here?”
Diana’s face lit up with pride. “Yes, indeed. My brother–in–law Ethan holds quite an important postice.
“He’s the chairman of Oceanus Construction, which is part of your Dunn Group’s Southale Development Group.*
Robin’s mouth twitched. “Quite the position. Just like Ms. Dunn–also a chairman.”
Shirley nudged him, annoyed.
Amber couldn’t help but laugh at the exchange.
Diana’s expression darkened. “Once you’re in there, you three absolutely cannot act so casually. There are executives present–you need to be respectful.”
Shirley smiled. “Of course, Diana. We’ll keep our voices down.”
Amber shook her head subtly. If Shirley hadn’t insisted they keep quiet about who she and Boblin were, Amber would have gladly informed Diana right there. She glanced at Shirley, feeling sorry for her. Poor Shirley–she was in for a real disappointment today.
Even after Shirley’s reassurances, Diana still wasn’t convinced and blocked the door, hesitant to let them in. She looked at Shirley’s hopeful expression, sighed, and reminded them again. When you go in mind your manners.”
“Ethan’s colleagues are all here, so it’s best if you don’t speak. It wouldn’t be good if you interrupted them, especially since it could impact Rosalie.”
Shirley’s smile stiffened as she nodded. “Understood.”
Robin gave Diana a brief look and muttered, “Talk about dedication, discussing work over dinner.

Diana’s face instantly darkened. How can you speak that way?
I worry that being around you all will hold Rosalie back
Having dinner with executives is work. Don’t you understand that?
“And who exactly are you?”
Amber thought about revealing the truth but held back Um… this is our colleague from the company, Robin.
“Robin? That name sounds familiar.” Diana furrowed her brows, trying to recall. “Oh, right, Rosalie’s mentioned someone named Robin who’s helped her a lot
She fixed her gaze on Robin. “Robin, I know you like Kosalie. You’ve been after her for a while now.
“But let me remind you, if you plan to marry Rosalie, you’ll need approval from both her aunt, Dorothy’s family, and mine!”
Robin was taken aback. “Rosalie said that?”
Diana scoffed. “She didn’t have to say it–I can see it clear as day.
“Why else would someone go to such lengths to help her? It’s not as if she doesn’t know she’s beautiful”
Robin gave a slight smirk. “Alright, whatever makes you happy.”
Diana pressed on, “So I’ll remind you one more time: when you’re in there with Ethan, make sure to behave. Don’t say anything wrong, got it?”
Robin shrugged, glancing over at Shirley. “With all these rules, maybe I should just skip this.”
Amber, too, was starting to feel like backing out.
Shirley flashed Robin a mischievous smile. “We’re already here; let’s just go in. We can leave once Rosalie arrives.”
Diana warned Robin once more, “You’re a bit too flippant. With that attitude, you’ll suffer for it one day.
“Ethan is a chairman.
“When you meet him, be respectful. Offer to light his cigarette, pour him some water, and be helpful. Make a good impression.
“If he’s pleased with you, he might give you a boost, maybe even help you move up a bit in the company.”
Robin raised his eyebrows, clearly done with Diana’s lecture.
Shirley, however, laughed and said, “Come on, Diana’s right. Go in there and impress Ethan.”
“Impress him? Who does he think he is?” Robin rolled his eyes at Shirley. “Are you doing this on purpose, trying to see me humiliate myself?”
“Oh, come on. We’re already at the door; we can’t just leave now,” Shirley insisted, dragging Robin inside/3

Amber glanced at Robin, who was getting fed up and couldn’t help but chuckle to herself.
She knew Shirley was up to some mischief. She was curious to see just how Robin would “perform in front of his “future mother–in–law.”
