Christian intertwined our hands and held me close as he led me to the huge front door of the mansion.
“You can’t let them see you nervous, they’ll eat you alive.” He whispered in my ear. A man at the doorstep gave us a polite nod and welcomed us. “It’s very nice to see you, sir.” He greeted Christian. Sir? Must be nice to be respected.
Even at the front door, they had people working for them, that was crazy. I tried to do breathing exercises in my head and was hoping for once to not screw things up.
“Serena seems like you’re the topic of the evening and cousin.” Johnny who had been waiting for us in the hallway greeted us. “Johnny.” Christian smiled relieved.
“You sure you wanna go in? Because you could still run.” Johnny joked, but as usual, his jokes were only adding to my nerves. “Stop it,” Christian told him and slapped his shoulder.
