Seeing Tiffany next to Franklin, Honey gaped, wondering why he attended the birthday banquet with a date.
Moreover, the woman's figure didn't look like the one she had seen in Maskelyne Residence.
Mrs. Maskelyne was tall and slender, at least 5.6 feet in slippers.
However, this woman was 5.4 feet in high heels at the most. That was why she didn't think it was Mrs. Maskelyne.
Franklin was always popular with women. Seeing was believing.
Repressing the unhappiness, Honey stared at Franklin with a glint in her eyes and asked coquettishly, "Mr. Maskelyne, can you give the speech on my behalf later, please?"
"Have your feet recovered?" Franklin darted at her feet in high heels.
He recalled she had surgery on her feet, wondering if she had recovered.
"Still hurt. I can tolerate it for my fans." Honey faked being determined. "The tickets to my birthday banquet were sold out long ago. If I rescheduled it, my fans would be disappointed. My reputation and the company's fame would be impacted as well."
'What a hypocritical woman!' Tiffany felt her stomach turning.
"Ms. Bennett, you are indeed dedicated to your career. I'm impressed."
"Thank you, Miss." Honey faintly smiled at Tiffany. "It's my pleasure to have Mr. Maskelyne and you at my birthday banquet."
"This is Tiffany Evans," her agent immediately reminded Honey.
Honey beamed at Tiffany in silence.
Looking at Franklin expectantly, she wondered if he would give her a birthday gift.
Even if they were just friends, he was supposed to give her a gift at her birthday banquet, wasn't he?
Unfortunately, she was disappointed.
Jasper walked over with a bouquet and passed it to her. "Happy birthday, Ms. Bennett. This is from Mr. Maskelyne to you."
A bouquet?
Honey was taken aback. 'He only gave me a bouquet? What about my gift?'
Her smile froze, and she was on an emotional breakdown.
"Hope you like the gift. I've shown up at your banquet as I promised. Please excuse me." Franklin wore a black suit, well showing his slender figure and elegance.
However, his words made Honey and her agent want to cry.
They couldn't believe he was about to leave before giving a speech.
The master of the ceremony even felt awkward. Honey and her agent wanted to play up to Mr. Maskelyne but failed.
On the way, when Tiffany learned they were going to attend an infamous actress' birthday banquet, she felt unhappy.
However, seeing Honey being embarrassed by Franklin in public, Tiffany was delighted.
"Happy birthday, Ms. Bennett. Hope you have an unforgettable birthday party."
As she spoke, she deliberately took Franklin's arm and said softly, "Shall we go now, Franklin?"
Franklin secretly pulled his arm out and distanced himself from her. "Ehn," he replied.
