After returning from the interview at Beckland University, Valilla didn't matter much on the bright side.

Of course, that doesn't mean she's idle.

She received quite a few invitations to banquets.

That afternoon, shortly after returning home, she received two invitations to the afternoon tea banquet in succession.

This comes from the two men who passed the interview with her.

By the next morning, she had received two more invitations to the ball, one from a nearby neighbor and the other from Associate Professor Barak.

When she heard the report from the housekeeper Kana, Valeera's heart moved.

Unexpectedly, before she took the initiative to find this associate professor, he took the initiative to find it himself...... Of course, that doesn't mean there's something wrong with him.

After all, Valilla has already entered his social circle, and it is not abrupt to invite her to the banquet.

"Miss, Congressman Dahr's prom invitation is tomorrow, and Associate Professor Barak's is the day after tomorrow, and I'll let Leah remind you again."

"However, both invitations to afternoon tea are scheduled for tomorrow, and you have to make a choice."

After speaking, without waiting for Valilla to ask, she began to introduce the relevant information of the two inviters, including their identities, hobbies, and general social circles.

This is much more detailed than the information obtained from a simple conversation with Valeera at school.

Knowing that her young lady had just arrived in Beckland, Kana did not let her make a decision last night, but worked with Davey's butler to gather as much information as possible before putting the question in front of Valeera.

In fact, there is no big problem with this kind of friendship afternoon tea banquet, which one to participate in or not to attend, but Valera is the host, and Kana is not qualified to decide on her behalf.

After a brief comparison, Valilla gave up the invitation to Edward Street in the West End and chose to attend the afternoon tea in Hillston.

】

The reason is also very simple.

The man who lived in Hilston was the son of a wealthy merchant and had no title, but his social circle was relatively high.

Although Valilla doesn't have any intention of clinging to the powerful, she also needs to try to improve the level of her social circle for various reasons.

In this way, she arranged her schedule for the next few days.

Days like this made Valeera gradually feel constrained.

She still had some things to do in private, but with so many servants and a valet to follow, it was hard for her to have a reasonable excuse to get out.

The good thing is that it's only temporary.

She had already stolen the "Lost Mask" from Earl Wolfe's collection, and then as long as Harold, the "criminal" of conscience, came to Beckland, the problem would not be a problem.

Well, I hope so.

……

Monday, July 2.

After finishing the second tarot meeting and leaving the gray mist, Crane opened the silver pocket watch left by the sergeant's father and took a look.

The time was just after half past three in the afternoon.

At this time, Valera had just arrived at a garden villa in Hilston in her own carriage to attend an afternoon tea banquet hosted by her host's family.

The banquet was a salon of history and literature.

The host of the banquet, the gentleman who had passed the interview with her, greeted her outside the foyer, "I am honored to have you to my salon, Miss Valilla. ”

"Your beauty fills my salon with brilliance."

Following etiquette, Valera took the initiative to stretch out her right hand, the tips of which drooped, and watched him raise her fingertips and kiss him virtually.

"I think you've seen the recently acclaimed Storm Hills."

The gentleman said with a smile as he led Valiera to the sofa-furnished drawing-room:

"I have invited its author, Ms. Furth Wall, to today's salon in the hope that you will have a happy tea time."

He learns that Valeera has only recently moved to Beckland, and that he may not have any acquaintances among the invited guests, so he helps her find a topic in advance so that she does not get snubbed.

After sending Valeera to the living room and greeting him a few times, he left for a moment to greet the next guest outside the foyer.

Valera kept a polite smile on her face and glanced at the guests present.

The results were unexpected.

There were several acquaintances she knew!

Not counting Furth, there are also Roger Sinderas, Walden Grammier, and former interviewer, female faculty member Dalia Clark.

In addition, the young lady who was standing near Roger and Wadden, smiling, was probably the favorite little daughter of Viscount Conrad, Miss Britney.

What she wears on her white neck is the "Blue Heart" necklace.

But for these people, Valeera is just a complete stranger to the young lady, at best a little prettier.

……

After a lot of communication, by the time the afternoon tea was coming to an end, Valeera had already gained some degree of favor from almost everyone with her beautiful appearance and conversational skills.

Talk to Forth about the content of the two "Stormstorm Villas", and praise her writing and plot......

Talk to Britney about jewelry and praise her "Heart of the Sea" necklace......

Talk to Roger about his rich and noble family background......

……

For everyone, Valera was quick to find a topic of interest and have a good conversation.

Valera also deliberately befriended a friend, Murray Becker.

Originally, Valilla didn't think he was anything special, but during the conversation, Murray compared her to Audrey several times, which caught her attention.

So she went to the bathroom.

In the bathroom, Valilla pulls out the "bottom line" pocket watch hidden in her skirt, adjusts the pointer, and enters a "state of reasoning" to assist herself in thinking and recalling.

She soon remembered that Murray was about the same as Glelint and Conse, and was one of Audrey's closest friends, and she had attended many parties together.

Of course, Murray is still a little more distant than the latter two.

This is a good tool to deliver to the door!

So, after returning to the living room from the bathroom, Valeera quietly adjusted her attitude towards Murray.

It didn't take much effort for her to make a not-so-formal agreement with Murray that the next time he invited Audrey to a banquet, he would send her an invitation.

At the time, this caused a small uproar.

The gentlemen and ladies who were invited, even if they didn't say it, actually knew in their hearts that the most glorious person in this afternoon tea banquet was Valeera.

I am afraid that the only one who can compare her is Miss Audrey Hall, who is known as "Beckland's most dazzling jewel".

In this way, Valera began to slowly expand her social circle in the upper class.
