"Before that, we should offer incense to Mr. Heath." Luther reminded.
After they entered the door, they kept talking and didn't do anything.
Jacqueline reacted and hastily apologized, "I'm sorry, Cecelia. Look at me, I forgot all my manners."
She took out an envelope from her bag, "Please accept it." Inside the envelope was a really thick stack of money.
Cecelia took the envelope and did not refuse. This was just the rule of high society courtesy, refusing it would make the whole thing awkward. Usually, they should just accept it first, and then find a better opportunity to return it in some other way.
Cecelia beckoned, handed the envelope to an adjutant, and gestured to the adjutant that they should offer incense.
Immediately afterwards, another adjutant handed over three incense sticks.
Jacqueline received the incense first, she went to the casket, bowed three times respectfully and inserted the incense into the censer.
The adjutant then handed Luther three more incense sticks.
Luther stepped forward and approached the casket, bowed three times respectfully, and inserted the incense into the censer.
Charlotte stood to the side and stole a glance at Luther.
Today Luther wore a pure black suit, wearing a narrow black tie. She had never seen him in all black before, silent and majestic. The black of his suit set off the details of his chiseled face, exquisite arched eyebrows, straight nose and sexy thin lips. He was just so handsome.
She couldn't help but swallow. Although Rodney's casket was beside her, she was fearless. Anyway, the old thing would be sent back to the General Military District tomorrow for burial, and she could feel relieved finally.
Such a superb man would soon belong to her, and she was about to get overwhelmed by the excitement whenever she thought about it.
