The Woman From Hell -
Chapter 2564
At the thank-you banquet.
I was at the door welcoming every guest.
Marius showed up in formal attire, his figure tall and straight. "What do you think? I look pretty good, don't I?"
"Very energetic." I glanced at him and then behind him. Why had he not come yet?
A certain someone was obviously unhappy. He let out a few coughs to catch my attention. "Really now, Sis Wan? You should at least look at me and praise me. You're so perfunctory."
I averted my gaze and fixed it on him. I could not help nodding. "You look exceptionally dashing today. Hurry on in."
A smile flitted across Marius's handsome face. "Alright then, seeing that you've given me praise "
"Theo's here." I did not hear what Marius said and looked in the direction of his arrival. Delia was indeed attending with him.
Marius' smile faded. "I'll go in first." He sounded disappointed, but I paid it no need at this moment.
Theo showed up dressed in black. He had a coat on due to the cold weather and looked even more domineering. Delia, who was next to him, was snuggled up to his side. In order to hide her belly, the dress she was wearing was custom-made. Standing before me, delight was written all over Delia's face as she held onto Theo's arm tightly.
I saw it but did not mind it and smiled. "You've arrived, President Grant. We've been expecting you."
He was the main character for today.
Theo's gaze on me was cold, and his tone frigid. "Yes."
"Theo hadn't wanted to come, but I convinced him to. He's an important guest of Green Orange's appreciation banquet. Of course, we have to come to see how you're going to thank him, President Lane." Delia's gaze was sharp. As expected of the lady of the Grant family. "Please go on in."
I looked in the direction Theo and Delia left, my expression gradually changing.
Shannon came out from inside and pulled me. "Everyone's here. Let's go."
When Theo entered the ballroom, his unique temperament stood out in the crowd.
I could catch him with one glance no matter how many people there were.
Going up on stage, I adjusted the microphone. Thank you everyone for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend this appreciation
ba You have all helped me a
lot
the way ever since Green
Orange's establishment until now.
Here, I would like to dedicate three
cheers to everyone."
The moment I lifted my hand, a waiter appeared with a tray carrying three glasses of white wine. Although the glasses were not big, they were enough.
I raised the first glass, made a toast to everyone, and then downed it. This was followed by the second glass and then the third.
"I hope you'll continue to support
Green Orange in the days to come. I,
Wanda Lane, am very grateful. If there's anything I can do to help you in the future, I would be happy to. Please eat and drink to your heart's desire tonight!"
"Alright!"
Applause sounded from below the stage, and I also made my way down.
Just when I reached the bottom, Marius came over. "It's only the start yet you drank so much. What are you going to do if you get drunk later?"
I leaned in close to him and whispered, "Don't worry, only the first glass was wine. The other two contained water."
"Smart move. Did you organize this appreciation banquet for Theo?" Marius asked with a calm expression.
I did not deny it. I looked in the
direction Theo was. He was surrounded by quite a number of people. Even if there was bad news about him and Delia, Grant Corporation still stood stable as a rock, not wavering at all. Naturally, there would be many people
fawning over him.
Taking a glass of red wine from the waiter next to me, I glanced at Marius. "Yes. I'm going to make a toast to him."
