Wendy, being considerate, glanced at Luke through the lowered driver's window but refrained from calling out to him. Instead, she made a gesture to me indicating her understanding.

As the car entered the yard, Luke stepped out. "If the Walker family calls you tomorrow, tell them you're injured and unable to go out."

"Okay." Remembering Joey's message from the previous night, I felt compelled to inform Luke that she had also received an invitation. "Joey was invited as well."

"She won't show up at the Walker house," Luke stated confidently.

According to Joey's message, it seemed she highly valued Mrs. Walker's invitation and would undoubtedly make preparations to attend!

I later discovered that, to prevent Joey from attending, Luke had arranged for the magazine's owner to assign her an urgent out-of-town assignment.

Joey pleaded with her boss to postpone the trip by a day, but he refused.
