"Mr. Austin, Mrs. Yolande, you are here. Please have a seat. Everyone is waiting for you."
A handsome man in suit stepped forward and said. Yolande looked ahead. The private room was big and full of people. They were all toasting to each other.
"I'm not feeling well. I won't stay long." Austin said.
"Mr. Austin, you can leave at any time." The man was easy-going.
Holding Yolande's hand, Austin found two empty seats and sat down. Everyone looked at them. In the private room, the warm walls looked very warm. Mozart's famous symphony echoed in the air, and the atmosphere was very lively.
"It's the first time I've seen Mrs. Yolande. She's so elegant and beautiful."
An elder woman with graceful temperament looked at Yolande with appreciation.
"Mr. Austin, Mrs. Yolande, I'd like to propose a toast to you." She raised her glass and proposed a toast to Yolande and Austin.
Seeing the situation, Yolande knew that she couldn't refuse him politely. Since she became the CFO, she had taken part in the dinner of the rich and knew the rules.
Yolande looked at the middle-aged woman up and down opposite her. The middle-aged woman was holding her posture elegantly, and with a glance at the bracelet she was wearing on her wrist, Yolande could tell that it was expensive, and she also was dressed in a luxurious manner.
She thought to herself that such a powerful woman couldn't know it.
While everyone was talking and laughing, Yolande gave Austin a look. Austin understood what she meant and smiled affectionately.
Yolande smiled and looked at her politely, "My husband is not feeling well. He can't drink. I'd like to propose a toast to all of you."
She stood up, raised her goblet and drank it up gracefully. It was very straightforward and efficient.
"Mrs. Yolande, you are so generous."
All the people at the table burst into laughter and looked at Austin with envy. "Mr. Austin, you are so happy to marry such a virtuous wife."
"Yes, Mrs. Yolande is really extraordinary."
Everyone was talking. Yolande's face was burning and her heart was beating fast. She picked up some food in a hurry and took a few drinks.
"Let's eat. My wife can't drink too much. Let's drink tea instead of wine."
Austin also stood up and finished his black tea. He looked at the woman beside him thoughtfully, "how are you? Are you okay? "
"Nothing," said Yolande with a smile.
"Okay, okay." Everyone drank, joked, and the waiter served several dishes from time to time.
Austin always said that attending such a banquet was less eloquent. As the entrepreneur of a company, his ability and talent made countless people in the industry admire and envy him.
For many people, it was a lucky thing for them to have a few words with Mr. Austin. Austin had always been modest and indifferent. He didn't talk to others except for necessary work.
He seldom attended such a dinner party, unless the person who went with him was too noble to go.
"These are all your favorite dishes," said Austin thoughtfully and he took dishes for Yolande.
"Mr. Austin, you are so considerate to your wife!" Austin looked indifferent. He never took such praise seriously.
Before the dinner was over, Austin and Yolande left. Hand in hand, they came to the spacious street.
"Are you okay? Do you feel uncomfortable? " She asked worriedly.
"No, I didn't."
