She was familiar with Penelope’s preferences as well as Damien’s so she quickly ordered for the three of them. The attendant nodded his head and stepped out almost immediately, leaving the trio alone.“You two are really getting engaged?” Penelope asked softly after a while and Liora laughed.“Is it that hard to believe that I and Damien are getting engaged?” she asked and Penelope nodded again.She and Liora were basically having the same conversation over and over again. Penelope could feel tears welling up in her eyes and she smiled brightly at her boss.
