Before the banquet, Alex and Miya dress up themselves.
It is Saturday, and they come to a trap that set by Augus, but they are also well-prepared.
The arrival of them immediately attracts the attention of most people.
Miya has been pregnant for four or five months, so she is wearing flats. She stands beside Alex and looks even more petite.
She is still thin even if in pregnancy. Today, she is wearing a long skirt with straight shoulders. The waistline is very fuzzy, which is a kind of pure feeling.
Alex wears a traditional dinner suit, his long legs under the trousers are still very attractive.
They see Augus as soon as they enters the hall, and he is standing nearby with a small glass in hand.
Miya also looks at the person beside him. It is not Bella but Grace...
"Don’t you say you just ask Grace’s family to explain what happened then?" Alex asks Augus when he sees him. "I think people here are not all from their family."
Seeing Alex and Miya are hand in hand, Augus’s smile is slightly unnatural.
"Because I have something important to announce today." August says, pulling Grace’s hands and says to her, "Grace, stay with Alex for a while. I will announce it later."
Grace nods and walks to Alex's side. She is about to pull Alex's hand, but is stopped by Miya.
"Aren’t you from a gentlefolk as everyone says? An elegant woman should know she can't go to others’ husband." Miya asks.
If Miya doesn’t speak, Grace will not discover she is here. She can't help smiling when she looks at Miya. The smile is a little weird, making Miya uncomfortable.
"I just think that if someone has left here, they shouldn't be there again."
Grace says, and Augus has picked up the microphone.
"Today, I am here to announce a big happy news."
Everyone's eyes gather on the man on the rostrum, Augus grins.
"What's going on?"
Someone yells like this, August smiles.
"Today, my son Alex and Grace are engaged."
At this time the whole audience burst into an uproar. They just see Alex has a female partner, and the relationship between the female partner and him seems quite intimate. They have heard the news the wife of Alex Group’s president is dead, so they don't know who the female partner is.
