Kearney explained, “Agnes, it’s not as simple as you think. This time, you’re not just attending as my date, but as

know, it’s already been decided. This dinner party is more of a formality. But since it’s not set in stone, I don’t want

woman I loved and planned to propose. They were thrilled and eager to meet my beloved. So, you’ll have to play
the part of my fiancée, and we might even have to stage a fake proposal. The Alexandras are very emotional, and
this could make a lasting impression and win their favor

Soon, Kearney came over.
He took Agnes out for a big meal.
Then he took her to a high end salon.
Yes, she had to pick out an outfit and get made up.
After about three hours of primping and preening.
Agnes finally stepped out of the dressing room.
