After they returned to the banquet hall, Suny searched around and saw the two women, who were looking guiltily back at her. They were Winnie's friends – one was Jean Chambers, and the other was Patricia Anderson. Suny never would have thought that Winnie's two best friends would still be concerned about her after Winnie was sent overseas.
Austin looked down at her, "Do you find them?"
"Yes, Miss Bates's friends."
Austin didn't know them, but he could find those guilty eyes.
After Master Murray finished his speech, a one-meter-high cake was wheeled out. Rachel's cousin Max helped Master Murray make the first cut on the cake, and then Max cut the cake into small pieces. Max and Rachel brought a few pieces of cake to Austin, Elijah, and the people with them.
"Miss Holland." Rachel forced a smile.
She didn't want to do it, but Suny came with Austin today. So, she had to pay respects.
Suny accepted the cake with a brief smile, "Thank you, Miss Murray."
Rachel probably had wised up. No matter how much she didn't want to, she pretended to be nice.
Suny didn't like sweet food, so she didn't eat too much, and Austin didn't eat it at all.
"You don't like cake?"
Elijah cut in, "Austin doesn't like sweet and greasy food."
It occurred to Suny that she had ordered a piece of cake two days ago, but she didn't t want to eat it after two bites. She tentatively asked Austin if he wanted to eat cake. It was supposed to be a joke because she didn't really want him to eat her cake. However, Austin took the cake from her hand and finished it all. That was a sweet and greasy red velvet cake.
Suny glanced at Austin, "Is that true?"
"Big mouth."
Elijah didn't say anything wrong, right?
Tate laughed. "Mind your behavior next time."
Suny smiled as well, "Thank you for your information, Mr. Brooks."
Elijah couldn't follow what these people were talking about. At this time, Master Murray came over with Max and Rachel. "Mr. Johnson, Mr. Brooks, Mr. Isaacs, Mr. Read, It's my honor to have you here."
Elijah said, "What are you talking about? We respect you and only came because we liked you."
"Elijah, you are good at words!" laughed Master Murray.
Master Murray looked at Suny, "Is this Miss Holland? You are so beautiful! Elijah, look at Mr. Johnson, and look at you!"
Elijah said, "That isn't my fault."
