Chapter 34 Birthday Banquet
When Louis returned from work and was about to pick up Blanche for the birthday banquet, a maid told him that Blanche was not at home. He was surprised that the woman who had been shouting about wanting to attend his grandmother's birthday celebration had disappeared at a critical moment.
He called Blanche.
"You want to attend the banquet, don't you? If you don't show up now, I won't take you there," Louis said threateningly, arrogant.
However, Blanche told him, "I'm already at the entrance of the banquet all. Hurry up. Everyone is here except for you."
Louis was stunned. He thought to himself, "Hmph! This woman is really anxious. She actually blames me for being late? People who don't know her well may think there is a treasure waiting for her at the party."
When Louis arrived at the entrance of the banquet hall, Blanche was indeed waiting at the door.
Louis sat in his Maybach and honked the horn. Blanche heard it and immediately came over with her dress's hems raised.
As Louis lowered his car window, he fixed his eyes on the woman who had her hair tied up in silver high heels and a light purple dress.
She was exquisitely dressed and looked like a delicate flower. Louis squinted his eyes and thought she looked quite attractive.
"Hurry up and get out of the car," Blanche urged when she found that the man was sitting motionlessly in the car.
Louis collected his thoughts and pushed open the car door, getting out slowly.
He had dressed up more elegantly today, wearing a tailored dark suit he had bought abroad, and shiny handmade leather shoes. His hair was neatly combed, which made him look bossy.
"What are you holding?" Louis noticed that Blanche was holding a big red square box in her left hand.
"These are Miller's biscuits, a birthday gift for grandma."
Since it was a birthday celebration, Blanche also wanted to do something to please Louis's grandmother.
She was a jewelry designer and had initially planned to give Doris a piece of jewelry she designed herself, but Eric had already given Doris a magnolia brooch, so Blanche thought giving more jewelry would be pointless.
Louis arched an eyebrow. No wonder the big red box looked familiar to him. This woman was quite capable. Miller's biscuits were no longer available, but she was still able to get them.
Louis opened the rear car door, took out a gift he had prepared, closed the door, and looked at the grand entrance of the banquet hall.
Blanche extended a finger and pointed at Louis's elbow.
"Shall we link arms?"
All the men who came to congratulate Doris brought their female companions, and they all entered the banquet hall arm in arm. It was a form of etiquette.
