At the banquet hall, Angela and Dean raised their glasses to the guests. Dean was extremely happy and in good spirits that day.
However, even if he was in good spirits, after a few rounds of alcohol, his body could not take it in the end.
Angela helped him to the side and looked at the time.
"Dean, it's almost eleven at night. Get the bodyguard to send you back to rest. We have our wedding tomorrow. You have to conserve your energy," Angela gently advised. "I'll be here with the guests a little bit longer. I'll be back latest by midnight."
Dean thought of the wedding the next day. How he wished to be younger, then he would be able to stay up all night drinking, but like everyone else, he too succumbed to age.
"Okay! Thank you. It's already so late yet you still have to stay here to host guests..."
"Dean, I'm very happy today. Much happier than you can imagine." Angela's gaze was spirited. "I promise it won't affect the wedding tomorrow."
Dean saw her insistence and could only let her continue staying there. "Alright then! I'll head back to rest first. I'll let the bodyguard know to pick you up at midnight."
"Hmm." Angela sent Dean off. After Dean left, Angela returned to the banquet hall and chatted with a few old friends before leaving.
At the entrance of the hotel, Elliot's
bodyguard saw Dean leave. Dean was usually escorted by a group of bodyguards.
Elliot's bodyguard even deliberately scanned the room to see if Angela was there or not. She was in a white gown that day. It was easier to spot her.
After making sure that there was no lady in white in Dean's group, he retreated back to a dark corner, and continue smoking.
