Emily felt bored and tired after some time; she had attended this type of event when her parents were still alive. At that time, it was an anniversary for her family's company. Seating at the corner, Emily could not help but think of her family. She did not notice that Samuel was paying particular attention to her. "I want to visit the ladies," Emily excused herself.
Samuel and Wilfred nodded their head. The two men would have loved to accompany her, but they knew such a request was odd. Although Emily said this, she walked outside the hall to breathe. She hated the fact that she could not leave. After all, it would not be good for Steam's reputation if she left before the end of the party.
Emily took a deep breath once she was outside; she could not really enjoy the party as it only helped her remember what she had lost. 'Her family,' Emily looked at the sky.
