The Wolf’s Bride 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

Solomon burst out in laughter when he heard Andrius. “The Crestfalls don’t even qualify joining the guild or deserve to be here, yet you, the son-in-law, dare to speak out so boldly?” “Very well. I hope you can remember how your attitude and your tone are tonight, Mr. Stormbrew.” Andrius then joined Harry and Luna at the table. “Oh, I will.” Solomon scornfully glanced at Andrius. He then raised his voice and said, “Son-in-law of the Crestfalls, those are fearless words that you speak.” “Hahaha!” “The Crestfalls are not in the guild. They should be grateful for even sitting by the door." “The Crestfalls’ son-in-law is best to be a security guard, and sitting at the door is his rightful place.”The other guests echoed and ridiculed Andrius. Harry was furious when he heard the mockery. “Andrius, stop talking nonsense! Who gave you permission to speak?” Solomon had asked them to bring Andrius just so he could insult their family, but Andrius walked right into the obvious tra

If it was not to meet Master Hempton, being the proud man that he was, Harry would have left. It was then that Solomon came over and reluctantly stated, “Harry, you and your family are coming with me into the inner hall.” “What?” Harry was astonished. He asked incredulously, "We can go in?" “Yeah. Are you all coming in or not?” Solomon asked in displeasure. Right before Harry could say a word, Andrius said, “No.” Harry’s excitement was extinguished immediately. “Andrius, are you out of your mind?” Luna growled at him as well, “Andrius. Shut up! This is no place for you to speak!” Andrius ignored the father and daughter and looked at Solomon. “Mr. Stormbrew, did you forget what I say just now? I said once I sat down, you won’t be able to invite me in easily.” “Suit yourself. We are going in!” Harry said. Not everyone was qualified to enter the inner hall and sit at either of the three main tables. One must be influential and well-recognized in Sumeria because going ins

It was then that Andrius threw a glance at Alfred, stunning him. As a veteran in the business world for many years, he knew what the glance meant. Andrius had saved him but chose to leave in silence and did not even leave his name. He must be a man who does not care about vanity. It was understandable because skilled people usually liked to keep a low profile and stay away from the public eye. With that, Alfred switched his attention back to Harry. “It’s okay. Have a seat.” Harry and Luna were flattered by Alfred’s warm welcome. They were invited to sit beside him. However, the seat originally belonged to Solomon and his family, so how could he let Harry sit there? He started to say, “Master Hempton, this is my seat…” Alfred glanced at Solomon and simply said, “Mr. Crestfall and I click. We want to have a good chat. You can sit somewhere else.” “But…” Solomon tried to argue, but Alfred glared at him, forcing him to stop. The seats were prepared according to the numb

Luna returned to Dream’s Waterfront and had a comfortable bath. She then called her friend, Halle, and said, “Halle, we are in! We joined the Business Guild! And…” She told her friend how Solomon was embarrassed due to his arrogance. “That’s great!” Halle felt happy for her friend. “Now that New Moon Corporation is a part of the Business Guild, you will be able to get a lot more resources.” “Yeah!” Then, a thought rushed into Luna’s mind. “Hey, did you know that someone taught Hendrick Mysticwood a lesson for dragging out the Northern Point construction funds? Do you think that same person is helping us again to meet Master Hempton this time?” Halle pondered for a moment before she said, “Luna, is it possible that your lucky star is beside you?” “Beside me? Who could it be?” Luna asked incredulously. “Maybe it’s your husband,” Halle teased. “Impossible!” Luna refuted without a second thought. “Andrius is just some poor fellow from the countryside. How can he possibly

The next day, when Andrius woke up, Luna had already left the house. He grabbed some bread along the way to the office. When he reached Team Five’s office, Fatty Frank and the others immediately surrounded him with all kinds of food and beverages. For a whole day, Fatty Frank followed Andrius around and called him ‘boss’, which sounded more intimate than what he called his father. Before clocking out, Luna stopped by Team Five and called Andrius out. “Andrius, I am going to meet the people from the Business Guild tonight to sign the contract and also have dinner with them. You settle dinner yourself.” Luna gave Andrius some money before she spun on her heel. Andrius turned around with the money in hand and saw Fatty Frank and the others looking at him mischievously. “What are you guys looking at?” Andrius returned to his seat and glanced at Fatty Frank and the others. “Boss.” Fatty Frank got closer with a smirk. “I know a place. Why don’t we go have dinner tonight? My
The Wolf’s Bride Chapter 51
With a hint of reluctance, Andrius helplessly followed Halle in. Roman Restaurant was known for being a diner that only served couples, so the decorations and interior were all related to love with roses being the main focus of the design. Andrius and Halle sat down in the center of the restaurant which was the most eye-catching spot on the floor. The table was shaped like a heart, and even the dual-compartment pot in the center resembled one when combined together. They sat opposite each other awkwardly. It was Halle who took the initiative to break the ice by saying, “Andrius, Luna told me about the Business Guild’s annual dinner last night. I assume that Master Hempton took good care of the Crestfalls because of you, didn’t he?” “You can say so.” Andrius nodded but did not explain further. Halle continued, “Then, are you the one behind the Northern Point incident as well?” Andrius continued to nod. Halle poured herself a glass of wine and said, “You should at least l

Annoyed, Halle glared at the man and declared, “We don’t need the money.” The woman leaned on the man’s shoulder and said in a saccharine tone, “Honey, she said she doesn’t need the money. It must be too little.” “Hmph!” The man opened his sling bag and pulled out another stack of bills. “Here, this is more than two months of your salary. Take the money and leave.” “You…” As an upper-class socialite, it was the first time Halle had been insulted with money, and it made her lose her patience. The receptionist came over and tried to intervene. “Madam, he’s the young master of the rich and powerful Hollands, Dick Holland. It’s not a good idea to go against him. Why don’t you and your boyfriend take the money and leave?” Halle’s expression changed when she heard the name Dick Holland. Every Sumerian had heard of him because he was the local bully. Dick was never particularly good at anything except wasting his family’s money on gambling and women. He was notorious because he
