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.
