King's Birthday Party (3)

Before Scarlett could respond, Theodor interrupted again to answer Maggie's question.

"Yes, my sister-in-law has set up a company in this country, so..." Theodor excitedly explained, prompting a secret smile from Scarlett.

"Really? Which company, if I may ask?" Maggie stole a glance at Scarlett, but as their eyes met, she noticed a flicker of awkwardness in Scarlett's gaze.

Maggie smiled at her before speaking, "Scarlett, I apologize for prying. I was just curious. Perhaps I can assist you in setting up your company here in the city..." 

She feels excited because if Scarlett got into the fashion industry, it would give them something in common to discuss.  Besides, she sensed there was more to Scarlett than what meets the eye. She felt curious and wanted to know more about her. 

"It's alright, miss..." Scarlett paused as she saw Maggie raise her hand, gesturing for her to stop.
