Chapter 240 Don‘t You Like Him
Upon arriving at the Twillight Hotel, they marveled at how lively and well decorated with balloons and flowers the open-air garden was.
Gabrielle would’ve thought a wedding or engagement party was being held here, if she hadn’t known that it was actually Kyl a birthdayparty.
Kylo had personally seen to the entire planning process of the birthday party. Only after his final approval was the team allowed to starymplementing the party and organizingit.
It was rare for an old man to have such extraordinary tastes; even the balloons were of a metallic red and golden color.
Kylo was very good at staying up-to-date with the latest fashions, sharing the same interests and trends as the younger generation.
Gabrielle took a look at the open-air garden and noticed that most of those 09:57
present were young. Perhaps the older crowd was talking in the banquet hall inside, or maybe having a rest in the hotel room booked for them.
Gabrielle decided to go to the banquet hall with two pots containing orchids to meet her grandfather in order to wish him and give him his birthday gifts.
When Gabrielle arrived and opened the car door, she saw Wendy standing nearby. However, Tobias was not with her, and Wendy looked anxiousp as though she was waiting for someone
As soon as Gabrielle got ou of the car, Wendy saw her and strod towards her with a smile.
Gabrielle realized that it was she her mother had been waiting for.
“Miss Jones, shall I help you carry the orchids in?” Alvin asked, standing beside her.
“No, thank you. The flowers are not heavy: I can take them myself. Thank you for bringing me here, Alvin.” Gabrielle took her bag before holding the two pots of flowers in each of her hands.
“Miss Jones, you don’t need to be this polite to me. I am following Mr. Morris’s orders to serve you,” Alvin said seriously
“Ah Gabrielle! You’re here!” Wendy enthusiastically walked up to her with a big smile on her face.
“Hi, Mom!” Gabrielle greeted her mother sweetly.
“Nice to meet you, Mrs. Jones,” A said to Wendy in his usual Polite manner.
“Isn’t this Mr. Morris’s assistant? Is Mr. Morris here?” Wendy asked Alvin expectantly.
“No, Mom, Westley isn’t as free as I am. He has other important matters to deal with.” Gabrielle quickly spoke over Alvin before he could respond.
“I’m just asking out of concern. It’s still early, though. The birthday party will only start officially at six o’clock. That gives Mr. Morris enough of time to arrive, right?” Although Wendy had a tight smile on her face, there was a hint of concern and shrewdness in her eyes.
She had expected Westley to come with Gabrielle.
“The Morris Group meeting is a lot more important than this, and he has several more international ineetings to attend today. I don’t know if he can finish them by midnight. Like I said, he’s really very busy. It’s best not to expect anything from him.” Gabrielle hoped to dispel Wendy’s wishful thinking 50 she wouldn’t be disappointed.
Either way, Kylo’s birthday part was such a big affair, with many prominent People present. If Westley showed up, it would definitely cause a sensation. –
WOT
It would draw a Vot of attention and people would start to gossip and overthink, especially those in the Carter family. It also seemed as though Wendy had strategically planned this opportunity in order to announce their relationship to others. ]
She had predicted that her mother would proudly introduce Westley as her son-in law to all the relatives in the Carter family, which would only make them envy her
“Yes, I will convey your greetings to dyr, Morris, Mrs. Jones. I’ll take my leavdow. Goodbye, Miss Jones.” Alvin was glad to leave the tense atmosphere behund.
“Sure, Miss Jones.” Alvin got into the car and started it, before driving it away.
