Chapter 45
After lunch, Andrius played games on the office computer to kill time.
Soon, the day was over and it was time to clock out.
Fatty Frank attentively said, “Andrius, why don’t I give you a ride home?”
“No thanks.”
Andrius clocked out and headed to the parking lot.
Luna drove her Mercedes today, and Athena was in the passenger seat.
When Andrius got into the car, Luna started the car and drove out of the parking lot.
Ten minutes later, the car arrived at the White Swan Hotel, where the Sumerian Business Guild annual dinner was held.
Luna’s father, Harry, was already waiting at the entrance.
“Athena, wait for us out here,” Luna said before she brought Andrius. in with Harry.
The White Swan Hotel banquet hall was the grandest in all of Sumeria. It was divided into three segments: the inner hall, the center hall, and the outer hall. There were three tables in the inner hall, six tables in the center hall, and nine tables in the outer hall.
The tables were already filled with guests.
Solomon of Castlerock Corporation was mingling with the guests in front of the banquet hall.
When he spotted Harry and company, Solomon went up to them and said, “Mr. Crestfall, you guys made it!”
Harry did not have a good impression of the old fox, but since the
man was the organizer of this year’s annual dinner, he was forced to put on a fake smile. “Mr. Stormbrew. It’s good to be here. I wonder where’s our table.”
“Oh, my God!” Solomon tapped his forehead and said in an apologetic tone, “I am so sorry. Since the Crestfalls never attended the previous annual dinner, I forgot to reserve your seats this year! I am truly sorry, Mr. Crestfall!”
Anyone with a sane mind would know that Solomon was purposely giving the Crestfalls a hard time.
Harry was displeased. “Since you did not reserve a table for us, then we will leave.”
“Hey, come on. Harry, don’t be mad.” Solomon immediately stopped Harry and said with a cunning smile, “I’ll just add another table for you.”
Solomon then told the hotel staff to prepare another table for the Crestfalls.
The table was shorter than the ones in the outer hall and was placed next to the banquet hall entrance. People might have assumed that the table was for the security guards.
Solomon continued to give the Crestfalls a hard time. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
“You…”
Harry was infuriated. He pointed at Solomon angrily, but no words. came out of his mouth. He wanted to leave.
“Harry, Master Hempton will be attending the dinner tonight, and we organized the annual dinner here because it also serves as a welcome dinner for him. If you leave, you will be disrespecting Master Hempton, and the Crestfalls might lose the only chance to join the
guild.”
Solomon stripped his disguise when Harry threatened to leave and used Alfred’s name to threaten him.
Harry and Luna were infuriated. Their faces flushed as they glared at Solomon with hostility, but they were also helpless.
In the end, the father and daughter decided to compromise and sat down at the table.
Andrius glanced at Solomon and said, “So, you are Solomon Stormbrew?”
“I am.” Solomon sized Andrius up and asked, “Are you the son-in-law of the Crestfalls, Andrius Moonshade?”
“Iam.”
“Well, what I can do for you?”
“There’s nothing you can do for me, but I want to tell you something.” Andrius said, “Once I sit at the table, it won’t be easy for you to invite me in.”
