Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 2712

"A masquerade?"

I told Marius and Shannon about this idea of mine. Seeing how they reacted in unison, I knew they had not been expecting it.

Marius and Shannon looked at each other. "Grant Corporation will be the organizer. Is President Grant willing to allow you this?”

"Theo said it's okay."

That was what he said last night.

Their expressions were one of surprise. Shannon then snickered. "I didn't expect Theo to let you be so calamitous."

"What are you saying? I just think our banquets before were too formal. Besides, it’s only for the staff this time but they can bring their relatives and friends and the like so it’s okay. What do you guys think?”

Marius nodded when he heard what I said. "If President Grant has agreed, then who are we to say anything?”

"Then, as my good friends, shouldn’t you guys support me?" I winked at them.

"How do we do that?”

I smiled. "Help me with action, for example."

"We’ll support you in spirit. There are still plenty of things to do at Green Orange." Shannon and Marius shared a special tacit understanding and turned their heads to the side.

"What is this? I’m only missing some manpower yet you guys won’t help me.”

In the end, it was Marius who spoke first, "What do you want me to do?"

"Mal is still the best."

Marius obviously did not expect me to call him that, there was a slight change in his expression. “Sis Wan, you better call me by my full name.”

"Okay." I did not think much about it before turning my gaze to Shannon. "Marius has agreed. What about you, Shannon?"

Shannon looked heroic and ready for a righteous cause. "Okay, let’s go.”

"Alright."

I gestured victoriously and then told them about what ideas I had.

One of Theo's empty villas was selected to be the venue. It was only half an hour's drive from the city and the traffic was quite convenient.

When I announced the masquerade ball to Grant Corporation, everyone cheered.

I showed Theo what everyone thought. "Look, everyone also likes to have fun.”

"Just as long as it doesn’t delay their work." Theo was still handling work through the tablet in his hand. He did not even look up.

So serious?

I wanted to tease him, so I got on top of him, took his tablet away, and then held my phone in front of him. "Look how happy everyone is."

Theo grabbed my phone and brought it to him to read the texts.

[Awesome! We can party now.]

[A masquerade sounds very interesting, I look forward to it.]

[Thank you, President Lane, for organizing this. Long live the President!]

Most of the staff were young people and they seemed to quite like event balls.

"Look, aren’t they happy?" I flashed him a smug look.

"Yes. You’re amazing, Madam." Theo reached out and pinched my face gently.

I broke free of his grasp and got up. "I've scheduled it for this weekend. You have to show up.”

"I can go, but I'm not wearing strange clothes."

“No. It’s a masquerade. You should wear something slightly different at the very least.”

“No.”

“You have to!” I pointed at Theo and said firmly.

Theo glared at me, obviously still not unwilling. “I will not.”

I crossed my arms and pretended to be angry. “You don’t support me.”

It did not take long for Theo to come over to me. "I can wear a mask, but not those clothes."

"Okay, then it's decided."

I knew that for Theo, this was already the biggest concession I could get from him so I said nothing more.
