Chapter 28

• They pulled up at the event venue. It was glamorous and dazzling. Damian got out of the car first and opened the door for Lilian to step out. Lilian was surprised. Did he just open the door for her? He took her hand and helped her out. He then pulled her close and whispered harshly in her ear.
• "Don't get used to this treatment."
• Lilian thought as much. It was just for show. She knew that he could never be this courteous. She walked beside him and flashed a dazzling fake smile. They walked inside and they were greeted by a wave of people. Lilian almost got tired of saying the 'good evenings' and 'how are yous'. Damian had already stopped and was just giving polite nods. He was thoroughly not enjoying this. He just needed to get through to the end and that would be the end of it. Lilian was kept close by his side. Escaping now would be foolhardy. She needed to get him to loosen up. Adam was at a corner of the bar having a glass of champagne. The waiters came around and offered Lilian and Damian drinks which they politely accepted. Lilian looked dazzling she turned quite a lot of heads. A few ladies had come with their men and we were giving them cross looks because they were staring at her. She giggled a little and was hurried along by Damian.
