"..." Selina was speechless. Then, she took a deep breath and unwillingly sat down next to Levi.
As Angela returned to her seat, she looked up and found a tall girl sitting next to Arvin. Their heads leaned close as they talked about something.
A strange thought occurred to Angela. Could that girl be the poker face's girlfriend?
Finally, lunch was served. Angela shook her head, put her phone away, and tried to concentrate on the delicious food.
Janet had changed into a slim fit scarlet dress. She and Daniel, with glasses in their hands, made rounds to greet guests.
The room temperature in the venue was warm. The bridesmaids all took of their capes as they felt warmer due to the effect of alcohol.
Two waiters dressed in uniform black suits followed the newlyweds. They each had a tray in their white-gloved hands. On the trays were one bottle of white wine and one bottle of red wine.
Janet walked toward the bridesmaids' table and winked at Angela, "Angela, you might be the next one to get married!"
Angela waved her hands in front of her face and said, "No. That's impossible! I haven't graduated, yet! I am not in a hurry at all. After the graduation, I want to see the world and have fun. I might get married after I am 30 years old."
"30 years old? Wow, Angela, you really are not in a hurry! Do you have a boyfriend now? Would you like me to introduce some nice fellows to you?" Janet fondly teased Angela.
Angela's face turned red. She bit her lower lip and murmured, "No. I'm okay!" She wasn't up to meet any sort of man.
The man sitting at the table not far from them overheard their conversation. He smirked and couldn't help but think how daft Angela was!
Janet offered a toast to her bridesmaids. Then, she moved with Daniel to the next table.
Angela had a sip of red wine. Her sight was getting blurred.
The newlyweds were having a toast with Arvin right now. Daniel opened his mouth and said, "Thank you, Dr. Gu, for attending our wedding. We really appreciate your presence!"
Arvin politely replied, "Boss Si, it is my honour to represent the Gu family here today. What a beautiful wedding!"
The two men chatted for a bit and drank wine together. Daniel smiled and said, "Please make yourself at home, Dr. Gu. If you need anything, just let me know!"
Janet also smiled at Arvin as she slightly toasted with his wine glass. The three of them all laughed as they sipped the wine.
After lunch, the guests started to take off. Janet and her close friends took the twins to the lounge to rest.
The parents of the newlyweds and Daniel stood by the hotel entrance to send off their guests.
One of the guests said to Daniel, "Boss Si, thank you for inviting me here. Your hotel is really impressive!"
Daniel smiled and corrected him by saying, "Thank you for the compliment. Actually, this hotel is under my wife's name."
The guest was stunned. But then he remembered that Samuel and Jerry were both wealthy men, so it wasn't a surprise that Janet was, too.
He smiled and bade them goodbye.
Some of the guests decided to check in the hotel. It was already 4 PM by the time that they were done sending the guests off.
When Daniel arrived at the lounge, everyone was there attending to the twins, Kerr, and Felix.
"You are drunk." Janet looked at him. Her voice was affirmative.
It was quite rare for her to see him drunk. Daniel idly leaned against the wall. His face was a bit flushed, and his eyes were half-closed.
Daniel smiled at her as he grabbed her cape and carefully laid it on her shoulder. He whispered to her ear, "Let's go home."
"Daniel, we are still here. How dare you just take off with Jane?" Sven leaned against the sofa and teased Daniel.
Daniel pointed to his father Harry and snapped back, "My father is more entertaining than I am. He will stay here and keep you guys company!"
With Janet in his arms, Daniel said to Ella, "Mom, please take the twins for the night."
Janet quickly said, "What do you mean? They will stay with me tonight!"
