My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) novel Chapter 894

After standing there in embarrassment for a while, Eudora slowly retreated to a corner and stood still.

Occasionally, there were employees passing by her, but that day was the company's activity. They were not in the company, thus the employees turned a blind eye to her!

She grew accustomed to it, hence she simply took a glass of wine and took two sips.

It was eight o'clock in the evening. The assistant came over and said, "Miss George, it will soon be your turn for the speech!"

She was confused. "The finance manager should announce the financial statements first, right? Now, they haven't said anything yet, and they're calling me up?"

The assistant nodded. "That was what you said at first, but then, you handed the matters of the banquet over to Assistant Zuckerberg, didn't you? He arranged it in a way that you have to make the opening remarks. That's why you have to go up first!"

Since the procedure was set up in such a way, Eudora did not refuse.

Turning around and stepping onto the stage, she looked at everyone below.

"Welcome to the annual banquet held by Tyly Company and Valiant East..."

After she finished her opening remarks, there were a few people who gave her a round of applause, but most of them were still chatting among themselves.

She furrowed her brows. For the first time, she thought that the company's employees were a little disrespectful. They were ignoring her despite the fact that she was the leader of the company.

Not only did they ignore her, but they were also reluctant to applaud her.

However, she couldn't say anything! She could only clear her throat and was ready to continue. In the next second, with a crash from above, everything went dark all of a sudden.

Eudora was speechless.

It was probably the worst annual banquet she had ever experienced.

"Where's the assistant? What's going on with the lights? Go and check it!" She shouted. However, the moment she did that, she realized that the entire banquet hall had suddenly become unusually quiet.

The people who were still chatting just now were all silent. It seemed that she was the only one left in an instant!

She wanted to take out her mobile phone to use as a flashlight, but realized that she was in a gown that day. She didn't have the phone with her at all. Before she came onto the stage, she had already given the handbag and the phone to the assistant!

To her dismay, Eudora shouted again, "Assistant? Hello, are you there?"

This time, she was replied by a whirring sound, the sound of a match being lit. Along with the sound, a faint flame lit up at a corner of the banquet hall!

Eudora squinted and looked in the direction of the light.

The sound of footsteps could be heard, followed by a vague singing voice.

"Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you!"

Eudora's heart skipped a beat. It was Amos' voice! She blinked her eyes and looked carefully again. Someone was approaching her with a candle.

The two children were also beside Amos as they approached her.

The trolley was pushed to the front of Eudora. The two children were dressed in a suit and a gown respectively. They walked over and grabbed her hands, one on each side.

"Mommy, happy birthday!"

Eudora sniffled, and then she heard everyone present singing "Happy Birthday" together.

Although the common plot change of great sorrow to great joy would seem trite, it still succeeded in causing her face to be filled with tears.

When the song was finished, she was about to blow out the candles when she heard Harley's voice.

"Eudora, you haven't made a wish yet!"

After that, Tina also said, "That's right. It's rare for you to celebrate your birthday, so you must make a wish!"

The two of them, who had said previously that they couldn't come, were actually there!
