Chapter 85 Guests
As a polite gentleman, Klein certainly wouldn't stare at Alan's wife. He looked at the well-known surgeon and said:
"Good evening, Allen, what should I call this person?"
Allen's indifferent temperament didn't change much, but it didn't affect him as he handed over the beautifully packaged red wine and said with a polite smile:
"My wife, Wilma Gladys, is a middle school teacher."
"It seems that you are going to be a father again. When is the due date?" Klein accepted the gift from the other party and asked along the way.
The topic he originally prepared for Dr. Allen was several new surgical procedures recently reported. He never thought that the other party would bring his wife who was pregnant for many months to participate.
To him, this was simply an unexpected surprise, because the unborn fetus in Mrs. Wilma Gladys' womb was "Mercury Snake" Will Auceptin.
Allen subconsciously glanced at his wife's belly, smiled a little and said:
"In early July, if you don't mind, I hope to invite you to his birth banquet then."
As soon as he finished speaking, the gentle and beautiful black-haired lady Wilma suddenly covered her stomach and let out a soft cry of pain.
"What's wrong?" Allen blurted out.
"He kicked me, and I've calmed down now." Wilma said with a relaxed expression.
She immediately looked at Dwayne Dantès, outlined a smile and said:
"Because I'm pregnant, I haven't attended a similar dance for a long time. I always stay at home and feel a little depressed, so I asked Allen to bring me here. Although I can't dance, I can chat with the ladies. Even find a gap to play cards."
"It's my honor to have you here." Klein responded sincerely, "I will attend his birth banquet in early July."
He was not affected by the little accident just now, and still remembered Dr. Allen's invitation.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Klein handed the gift in his hand to Richardson, the valet, and asked him to lead two, no, three guests into the hall.
Not long after, he ushered in the second pair of guests, Bishop Elektra and his female companion, who were still wearing black clergy robes.
This is a girl with a little baby fat on her face,
That is, in his early twenties, everything he sees is novel and full of vitality, but because he has already given birth to a child, he feels more mature.
"Good evening, Bishop, my sleep has been very good recently." Klein said secretly, pretending not to know about the Church of Evernight.
Bishop Elektra immediately clicked clockwise four times on his chest and said:
"This is the blessing of the goddess."
He went on to introduce his female companion:
"My wife, Shauna Johnson."
Because he often meets Dwayne Dantès and has been to the mansion of the other party many times, there is no need to prepare extra gifts for this dance, as it will appear too polite and alienated.
"Hello, you are much younger than I imagined." Klein nodded to Shauna half-complimentally and half-jokingly.
At the same time, he silently calculated in his heart:
I heard that the bishop got married two years ago, that is to say, his wife was only eighteen or nineteen years old at the time... The age difference is a bit big... In a few years, maybe I have to introduce the fat pharmacist to him the...
Hearing Dwayne Dantès' joke and remembering the conversation when he was visiting the sick, Bishop Elektra felt a little uncomfortable, coughed lightly, and responded instead of his wife:
"She is a lively person. If she has time, she doesn't want to miss any ball."
Klein didn't say any more, because he saw Madam Mary getting out of the carriage and heading for the hall.
After letting Bishop Elektra and his wife enter the hall, Klein smiled and said to Mary:
"Maybe we'll be able to work together next week, ma'am."
The lawyer and accounting team he hired have completed the investigation and concluded that there is nothing wrong with Kaim Company and it is very suitable for investment, and has reached a preliminary agreement with the gentleman who sold the shares, 12,800 pounds for 3% of the shares. Wait for the final confirmation next week.
Mary heard this, chuckled and said:
"I now consider you my companion."
These seem to be subtle words with deep meaning... Could it be that he has a crush on Dwayne Dantès... Klein's heart moved slightly, pretending that he didn't understand, and stretched out his hand instead:
"Pleasant cooperation."
After a light shake, he asked the housekeeper Walter to lead the lady in.
At this time, more and more guests arrived. While recalling the corresponding topics, Klein greeted them warmly and humorously, and received many gifts.
If it weren't for the "faceless man"'s professional instinct to remember other people's looks and characteristics, I would hardly be able to tell who is who, let alone find the right topic... No wonder the assistance of housekeepers is often needed at such times... Ke With a burst of emotion, Ryan saw Congressman Macht's family coming in.
He smiled again, stepped forward and said:
"Good evening, today's starry sky is very beautiful."
Councilor Macht smiled and handed him a bottle of Heyland from an unknown manor:
"I've been in Backlund for nearly twenty years, and the number of starry skies I've seen before is not as many as this year."
"I hope more and more." Klein turned to Madam Liana and said, "I heard that you are looking for a boarding school for Miss Hazel?"
Liana glanced at the daughter standing beside her with a cold expression, only maintaining a polite smile, and said:
"School education is becoming more and more popular now, and it's the same for women, and most importantly, maybe Hazel can make more friends. Unfortunately, she doesn't seem to be very happy about it, and she doesn't want to part with us."
In Backlund, a girls' boarding school for the upper class has sprung up. The education it provides may not be comparable to that of tutors, but it has created a social circle.
Such a boarding school costs around £500 a year for tuition alone.
It might be the sewer here that she is reluctant to part with... Klein slandered, chatted for a while, and let the Macht family enter the hall.
When it was almost time, he was no longer in the foyer, walked to the second floor, stood behind the railing facing the door, and signaled the invited band to stop playing.
Holding a glass of champagne, Klein looked around, and after all the guests looked over, he said loudly:
"I'm very glad that everyone can participate in this dance. First of all, I would like to thank the goddess, and secondly, thank you...
"I have prepared some Dixie-style music and food for everyone, I hope you will like it..."
After a brief speech, Klein walked down the stairs to the dance floor in the hall on the first floor, preparing to invite the ladies to dance the opening dance.
Normally, at the opening dance, married hosts must be looking for their spouses. Unmarried men and women either dance with their relatives of the opposite sex, or invite their favorite objects, which is an alternative blind date, but Dwayne Dantès There are no relatives here, and there is no suitable target for the time being, which seems a bit embarrassing in this matter.
However, he has an experienced housekeeper, and Walter has invited an upper-class courtesan over in advance. The opening dance with her is at best a scandal, and it will not be reminiscent of dating.
Therefore, Klein looked at the lady named Ao Luoli without any psychological burden, and walked towards her step by step.
This lady is a widow, and she has quite good friendships with several high-class people in Backlund, and she is doing well in this circle. Of course, she is very unpopular with women, but anyone who has a bit of status looks down on her she.
But no matter what, Ao Luoli is quite good in terms of femininity and temperament, especially her figure, which is protruding forward and backward, and has a charming curve. If it is not for her appearance, she can only be regarded as on the upper side, which is a good-looking type. Klein would doubt it She is not a witch anymore.
"Ma'am, is it an honor to invite you to dance?" Klein followed the etiquette teacher Vahana's teaching, showing his posture without any flaws.
Ao Luoli, who had blond hair coiled up, smiled, stretched out her palm and said:
"You are an irresistible gentleman."
...These words are a bit ambiguous... Her identity and the role she plays in social situations determine that she cannot be as reserved as most ladies and ladies... Klein pulled the other party into the dance floor. Dancing to the music.
——Nobles have land, manors, and castles in the countryside, and they live there for several months every year, so country music is one of the mainstreams in the social circles of the upper class.
"You dance very well. If Wahana hadn't mentioned it, I couldn't believe that you couldn't dance before." O'Lori purposely kept the two of them close together, breathing could be heard as the dance steps moved.
Because the other party is a stranger, Klein is a little uncomfortable with the contact at such a distance, but he can't push the lady away under everyone's gaze, so he just smiled and said:
"Just don't dance like that.
"Actually, I'm very good at the more casual dances in Disi Bay and Southern Continent."
"I also like those dances very much. They are powerful and full of enthusiasm. They are danced for myself, not for others." O'Lori found a topic, twisted her body, and seemed very close to Dawn Dantès.
Near the end of the opening dance, she suddenly lowered her voice and laughed:
"If I hadn't heard some rumors, I would even have thought that you don't like women, I feel a little stiff.
"However, I don't doubt it now."
As she spoke, she glanced down.
Klein was actually quite embarrassed in his heart. The other party was really good at using his body and language to create an ambiguous atmosphere, but Dwayne Dantès was an experienced person, so he definitely couldn't give up on the surface.
He smiled naturally and said:
"Stiff because I haven't adapted to Backlund's social scene yet."
"I can teach you." Ao Luoli said with a chuckle.
At this time, just as the music ended, she took a step back, blinked and smiled:
"You are really enthusiastic."
This pun made Klein almost blush in embarrassment, and he really began to wonder if the other party had something to do with the witch.
With a calm expression on his face, he bent down and saluted, and sent Ao Luoli back to the original position. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Ms. Wilma Gladys, who was carrying the "Mercury Serpent", walking towards the side of her long hair. A table, the target seems to be the first batch of ice cream.
PS: Please recommend a monthly ticket on Monday!
