"Claudia, penny for your thought?" Hanna interrupted Amber's thinking.
Amber rolled her eyes. She felt jealous and looked at Ben, but he was indifferent.
"Ben, I..."
Amber was stammering because Ben's apathy made her at a loss.
Hanna hurriedly eased the situation and proposed to Amber, "Would you like to have a drink with me?"
Although Amber didn't want to talk to her, she had no chance to get close to Ben when Hanna was there. She thought for a while and agreed, "Of course, it would be an honor."
Hanna smiled and took two glasses of wine from the tray. She handed one to Amber. "Cheers!"
She immediately drank it off.
Amber was slightly startled, but she didn't want to lo, so she braced herself and finished all of it, too.
Then they drank several more glasses.
Hanna drank like a fish and was hardly ever drunk. She tilted her head back, revealing her fair neck, which looked more than sexy and alluring.
On the contrary, Amber was not much of a drinker. She was already drunk by then. She staggered on her feet and her emotion got out of control. She yelled, "One more shot! Miss Lewis, let's go on..."
"That's it for today!" Hanna was decisive. She sent the waiter away with an excuse, and whispered a few words in Amber's ear.
She whispered it in such a low voice, which made it even more frightening.
When Amber was walked out to sober up, she was still thinking of what Hanna had said. She gritted her teeth and stamped her feet angrily.
“I know you love Ben, but he is already married. It's unethical to ruin your sister's marriage. You should stop.”
After Amber left, Hanna checked the entire banquet hall. At last, she found that Claudia was staying in a corner quietly and lonely. Hanna couldn't help letting out a sigh.
As Hanna approached her, Claudia was trying to make up an excuse to get out of here. She didn't like this kind of social event.
“You have been sitting here forever. Are you hungry?” Hanna asked.
Claudia hurriedly got up and shook her head with a smile.
“Maybe you’re not hungry, but the baby needs nutrients. Let’s get some food!”
Hanna said and walked Claudia to the food area.
Claudia wanted to refuse her, but Hanna didn't give her the chance to speak.
Several rows of tables were lined up in the food area, on which there were all kinds of desserts and delicacies, from east and west.
There was also a special 35-story big cake, which was made according to the outline of the 35-story skyscraper of the Crawford Group.
Hanna stared at the cake and asked, "I heard that pregnant women have a sweet tooth. Do you like sweets?"
Claudia lowered her head. She just wanted to grab something and leave as soon as possible, anything would be fine.
“Let me help.”
Hanna said. She took a plate and got a piece of cake for Claudia.
There was a champagne tower next to the giant cake. Although it had missed a few glasses which had been taken by the guests, it still stood tall.
“You need to eat more for the baby. You’re too skinny.” Hanna suggested and handed her some cakes.
Claudia took the plate politely and expressed her gratitude.
The cakes looked delicious. Even if she had no appetite, she still found them delicious.
