As they reached the entrance, Arwen swiftly pulled out her phone and dialled Alfred.
"The car will be here soon," she said after hanging up, turning to Mia with a small smile. "Thank you for helping me back there."
Mia shook her head politely. "Helping you out is part of my job, Ma'am. I didn't do anything extra. In fact, I wasn't prepared for that situation at all. When I said what I said, I almost thought I had made things worse."
"You didn't," Arwen reassured her with a smile. "Actually, you said exactly the right thing. It solved everything in an instant."
Mia nodded in understanding. She had only spoken up because she could tell Arwen had no intention of hiding her marriage. Arwen would have mentioned it herself if Mr. Darson hadn't rudely interrupted her.
After a moment, Mia hesitated before asking, "But Ma'am, weren't you offended? I mean, Mr. Darson was so persistent, even after you clearly refused him."
