Chapter 185: Of Sleep And Man-eaters

When Derek had invited Emily along last minute, he had thought that she would just be there as a shield between him and a particularly handsy diplomat's daughter. But it turned out to be more than that. 

She was more than just a shield, she was a life saver.

Sure enough, the first person that they ran into when they got to the party was none other than Penelope Bonham herself.

Too thin for her height, nothing but big hair, big boobs, way too much makeup, and a very loud and shrill voice. 

The moment that Penny realized that it was Derek. She let out a screech so loud, Derek was sure even the dead would complain.

"Der-bear!, you came!" He wanted to just go back out and not come in again. But he forced himself to stay where he was.
