She comes down to the kitchen to have an early dinner with Athena still following her. Athena joins her to eat at the kitchen island table. Nana Amor feels emotional at the scene in front of her. Athena is breaking out from her shell by trying to connect to Rosa.
Rosa comes back to the bedroom to prepare herself. Athena sits still in the couch checking the detached back of a digital watch. When she sees Rosa comes out from the walk-in closet holding a handbag, she sprints to her and holds on to Rosa's free hand. They both come down the stairs clasping each other's hand.
Athena accompanies Rosa while waiting for Madam Desta's car. Nana Amor stands a few meters away observing them.
Rosa pats Athena's head when Madam Desta's car door opens. Desta notices the little girl's shy eyes peeking at them.
Madam Desta comments once Rosa settles inside the car, "The little girl seems to like you."
Rosa just rests her head and closes her eyes drained in attending some party again. She has to survive once more in dealing with the rich hypocrites and those who pretend to be rich.
Madam Desta's car turns to the roundabout entrance of the social venue.
Rosa immediately spots Graysen standing at the entrance. She glares at Madam Desta.
Desta comments, "Wife's public duties."
Rosa sighs in exasperation. Senator Graysen offers his arm. Rosa smiles and puts her hand on his arms and they saunter together going inside. Brie and Madam Desta walk behind the couple.
Senator Graysen and Rosa smiles and greets people they pass by, shaking hands with them.
When Rosa finds an empty corner table she chooses to sit. Brie keeps her company. They let Madam Desta socialize with the other society madams. Senator Graysen goes around the venue alone. When a fellow senator or a cabinet minister asks about his wife he just points to where Rosa is, repeating over his excuse that his wife just arrived and has been tired from the travel that he lets her sit to relax for a while.
Brie stands recognizing some people in the fashion industry. She tries talking to some industry directors seeking potential deals for Rosa. Though as of the moment Rosa still have a full schedule for the next four and a half weeks.
Rosa looks for the wash room. Brie follows her sensing that Rosa's body is not in a good condition with her sitting still for an hour only asking for a glass of warm water from the attendant. Brie waits for her outside the washroom. Rosa just comes out walking slowly. A woman suddenly bumps into her.
"So, you're the new wife?" The woman asks with a raised eyebrow, looking at Rosa from the feet up.
Brie hurriedly strides to Rosa's side. "I do not think there's an old wife. But I see old…," she counters. Brie scans the woman from head to toe and struts around her. Brie adds, "You should make yourself a wife soon before it's too late." Brie takes Rosa's wrist and guides her going to where Graysen stands.
Rosa asks, "Do you know her?"
"Maybe. I think she was a former president of Senator Graysen's fans club. A wife wanna be. Day dreaming to marry your Graysen until it turns into a nightmare." Brie remembers that socialite woman who snatched one of her coolest boyfies.
