Kai and Nicole felt like they were props. Their faces were stiff from smiling, but they still had to keep smiling and greet the guests.
Nicole did not even smile so much when she was with business partners. She felt like she was about to get facial cramps.
Kai was a famous movie star that had an aloof and noble image and was worshipped by everyone, was still subjected to this torture.
After the introduction of a number of relatives, Floyd also felt that his mouth was a little dry.
Fortunately, the butler was extremely tactful to hand over a cup of tea. "Chairman Stanton, the coffee and refreshments are ready..."
Floyd hurriedly welcomed them into the house.
"Quick, quick... Please come in. Make yourselves at home!"
Floyd then gulped down a large cup of tea.
Then, without changing his face, Floyd led Nicole and Kai inside.
Floyd hurriedly introduced his daughter that he was most proud of.
"This is Lil N. She's taking care of our company. Grant i s just an auxiliary. Our Lil N's net worth put her in the global Forbes list. She’s famous!"
The crowd looked on with envy and jealousy, which made Floyd feel prouder.
Floyd smiled. "My second son doesn't like to meet people. He’s a scientist and won a few world-class awards. He also participated in a few national confidential scientific research projects and won a few honorary titles internationally, but he's not great i n other aspects."
Knowing that Maverick did not like this kind of occasion, if Maverick came out and said something earth-shattering, their New Year would be ruined.
Thus, Floyd only explained Maverick's absence and focused on his two most boisterous children, Nicole and Kai.
Their grand-aunt went over and pinched Nicole's cheek.
"Lil N, you’ve been on the trending topics every few days. Who are you really with? I think that young actor Fabian is a little too immature. Is Xander really Eric Ferguson's substitute?”
Everyone looked at Nicole with curiosity. Some teasing, some playful, but all of them waiting to watch a show.
