Chapter 129 The Birthday Banquet
There were many, many people at the banquet venue.
Kisa did not walk through the hall, but rather, she went around the side door into the courtyard.
Yet, she could still see how packed the hall was through the window.
As Mr. Case Sr. was seated at the innermost position of the hall, the first thing the guests. would do when they arrived was to greet him and exchange a few pleasantries. Therefore, everyone was gathered inside the hall.
Conversely, the courtyard had much fewer people, and that suited Kisa just fine.
She quickly carried the tray and placed it on the table.
Just as she was about to rush back to the kitchen, a guest called out to her, “Waiter, two glasses of wine, please.”
Kisa paused for a moment, wondering if she was the one being called. After all, there was not only her who was the staff in the courtyard.
“What are you standing there for? I’m calling you. Why are the waiters here so slow?”
‘Alright, he was calling to me.‘
Kisa gave up. She did not want to cause trouble, let alone be recognized, so she quickly brought two glasses of wine over.
She lowered her head a little and respectfully handed the glasses of wine over to the guest without even seeing what the guest looked like.
“Come, Mr. Kooper. Cheers.”
When she heard the name Gilbert, Kisa shuddered, and the tray almost slipped out of her hand.
‘What misfortune. How did I even run into Gilbert like this?”
She could now only hope that Gilbert did not recognize her and not expose her even if he did.
To calm herself down, she lowered her head even more, so much so she could only see their feet.
“Mr. Kooper, look at this waitress, bowing like a dog. No wonder she’s only fit to be a waitress for her whole life. She even wanted to slack off just now.”
“Hahaha, Mr. Kooper, you sure know how to crack a joke. Come… let’s toast.”
When the other wine glass on the tray was taken away by the guest, Kisa immediately fled to the kitchen as if she was running for her life.
