Chapter 13

Friday finally arrived. Momo and Cyrus said they'd pick me up, so I waited for them at my house. When the doorbell rang, I ran to the door. Instead of the adorable Momo standing before me, it was an old man in a black suit.

The man spoke, "Good evening, Miss Beatrice. My name is Bernie, the Verdi family's butler. Master Cyrus and Miss Momo are waiting inside the car. Please come this way."

There was a black limousine parked in front of my house. My jaw dropped. I suddenly felt nervous being in the presence of those that represent wealth and power.

I knew they were rich, but I didn't think they were this rich!

"Beatrice!" Momo rolled down the windows and waved happily.

I smiled nervously and joined them inside the car.

"Are you nervous about your performance, brother dear?" Momo asked Cyrus.

"Not really," Cyrus said calmly.

"Oh yeah. I never really got to ask, but what kind of party are we going to?" I interjected.
