“Oh by the way, you would be invited to stage for a speech!” Mu continued to tease her, “Good luck!”
A speech?
Annabelle frowned.
“Why? Nervous?”
As Annabelle saw Mu’s cheeky face, she felt challenged.
“Well, I am just annoyed at how many speeches I always need to give~” She harrumphed triumphantly and click-clacked off the room.
Mu was brought to a laugher too and he followed behind.
……
People from the upper class were always extravagant.
Just from winning a competition, Mu had made a block booking for an entire hotel. Of course, the hotel was also one of his assets.
When it was almost evening, Yun Rui was in a merry and jolly atmosphere, as if they were celebrating a festive day!
Men changed into suits and women changed into their battle suits – evening dresses!
Annabelle had a jaw-drop, now she finally understood what Mu meant!
At that time, Covi walked towards her and asked, “Annabelle, you forgot your dress?”
Annabelle shook her head, “Nope!”
“Are you going to go like this?”
Annabelle scanned through herself, “Umm… Can’t I?”
Actually she didn’t mind at all.
“Well you can~ but… You are the star of the night, it’s a little too... Umm… Modest!”
“Haha modest?” Annabelle giggled, “I think it’s still acceptable?”
“Annabelle, waaaay to modest!” Covi enunciated.
“Hmm, so I might end up being the most outstanding one tonight after all!” She jovially joked.
Covi was tickled but she insisted, “Look at every one of them, dressing up with their best. And then here you are, being ‘modest’ and all~”
“Simple is more!”
Covi laughed and shook her head helplessly. Annabelle was always so witty and she didn’t think she could persuade her.
In the meantime, someone called out at the door, “May I know who is Miss Annabelle?”
