I'll help Carol change, then I'll cfind you." Cedric was just about to follow when Hamilton's secretary gave a courteous smile. "It's not quite appropriate for you to accompany a lady while she's changing. Why don't you head on ahead? Mr. McCoy is waiting. We're all here at the banquet. Nothing's going to happen." Damon and Nikolas nodded. "Go on, Cedric. We're here with her." Cedric gave Daniela a lingering look. "Once you're done, cfind me." Daniela gave a small nod.
The secretary chuckled. "You two are quite the couple." Then he led Cedric off.
Meanwhile, as Carol stepped into a room to change, Nikolas and Damon were stopped at the door. A female attendant smiled politely. "Only ladies inside, sirs. I'm afraid it wouldn't be proper for you to go in." Daniela led Carol away to get changed, and once they emerged, she immediately set out to find Cedric. Cedric seemed restless all evening, and the thought of him facing the cunning Hamilton alone unsettled her.
She had barely stepped into the hallway when she ran into Alexander. He blocked her path with a practiced, casual smile.

Alexander gestured toward the staircase. “Are you coming or not? The study's waiting."
Daniela tucked her phone away and squared her shoulders. Which floor did you say? I go up myself."
Alexander gave a brisk nod. "Eighth floor." The contention. CO11!! The novelenglish.net!
Without another word, Daniela strode toward the elevator. After pressing Receighth the button for the eighth floor shel realized the villa only had eight floors. She pressed the button for a random floor and stepped out, finding a staff member to ask, “Is Hamilton's study on the eighth floor?" "Yes, ma'am."
