That would be greatly appreciated, thank you. I tried to tell her we could skip this grand function, but she insisted that we appear.

[A low, resigned sigh.]

You see, I'm a bit new to the business world here, and we thought it would be a good opportunity to meet and make some connections...but I didn't want to push my love to something that could be stressful for her. And yet she was so adamant, encouraging me and not wanting me to fall behind.

[A wistful, fond smile as he can feel the maid's eyes looking up at him with admiration.]

Truly she is too good for me, so I only wish to offer the best comfort I can while we're here.
