Calix brought Leslie and Calliope to greet the guests after they finished eating. The banquet was still in full swing as the people mingled with one another, sharing stories and jokes.
"Aiya, I finally could meet you, Mrs. Xu. Oh! Seems like you wear the necklace this young Mr. Xu got from the auction. It indeed looks lovely on you."
Mrs. Feng was among the happiest when Calix introduced Leslie and Calliope to her. The older woman's remarks cast a lovely shade of pink on Leslie's cheeks while Calix smiled proudly.
"Thank you, Mrs. Feng. It's my pleasure to meet you. My husband has mentioned that you met at the auction before."
Leslie still struggled with making small talk with the guests, worrying about her conduct with the people who had been in high society far long before her. Fortunately, she managed herself better than expected.
