A Dinner Invitation

"Nana… please?" Esme kept trying to persuade Velina that she would help her even just for this once.

Hearing Esme's request, Velina did not flinch but the young woman stared at the pair of Esme's eyes with a look that she could not describe in words.

Before long, Esme saw Velina let out a long sigh and took a sip of the drink in front of her before she finally answered her plead.

"Very well," Velina said curtly, agreeing to Esme's request.

"Is it true? Really? Do you want to help me out?" Esme asked in disbelief.

She felt so relieved as she finally could ask for someone to help her out so that Marino would adequately meet her face to face.

"Of course. However, this is would be the first and the last time I want to help you out. After this, I hope you will keep your distance from me. Moreover, please do not approach me while I'm at Val Entertainment!" Velina said at length, telling her condition in return.
