Geoffrey noticing Serena's pale complexion felt that he was being too forward, so he quickly added "Emily is also coming along. She also wishes to buy gifts for the children."
Serena breathed in relief. "I would love to. However, I still have to prepare for the event. Although I have some time in my hand, it would be a little tiring because I don't know how long the party will last. Please send my regards to the children and that I will be sending my gifts to them on another day."
"Alright. Then, how about my offer to send you to the venue?"
"that too would be lovely, but I'm not sure about the schedule and I don't wish to impede too much of your time. Buying gifts for the 20 children we're handling should take quite a while. Also, the carriage to send me will also be the one I will be using to get back tomorrow. The Maestro asked us to stay the night, and it would be too troublesome if I were to ask Lord Daniel if I can hitch a ride." Serena explained.
