Richard was taken aback when he discovered that Rock D. Xebec had organized a grandiose gala dinner at the Phoenix Hotel, hosting an enormous crowd of five hundred guests. A skilled makeup artist was even flown in from South River to ensure that Daisy looked absolutely stunning and elegant for the occasion.While Richard had initially hoped to spend their vacation in the privacy of their hotel room, Daisy's enthusiasm for the gala dinner was palpable upon hearing Lesley's description of the event. She twirled around in excitement, showering Richard with gratitude, leaving him secretly cursing Rock for going overboard in planning their vacation.As they entered their room, Daisy could not contain her joy, exclaiming, "Honey, this is such a special surprise!" The air was filled with the aroma of the wine that had just been delivered by the waiter on a Gueridon trolley.Daisy raised her glass, inviting Richard to join her in a toast, and they savored the wine as they enjoyed each other.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Daisy was being pampered by the top makeup artist from South River. For the grand occasion, Daisy had chosen a white dress adorned with delicate pearl beads and lace of the same shade. She had requested the artist to keep her makeup minimal, wanting to maintain a simple and elegant look."Miss, with that white dress and minimalistic makeup, you look like a divine being that has descended from the heavens. I'm sure the other ladies will be green with envy," Lewis, the makeup artist, couldn't help but compliment Daisy endlessly.And, his compliments were not unwarranted. Daisy's striking features resembled those of a mystical elf from a fairytale. However, her understated beauty was often overlooked as she did not indulge in luxury brands and preferred a more modest lifestyle."Lewis, do you always praise your clients this highly? Ah, you almost made me fly into the sky. ha ha." Daisy laughed but also seemed to blush with excitement."Of course not! This
Soon, after returning from the front desk, Richard sent Rock D. Xebec a message.[There was an official killed at the Phoenix Hotel, but the case wasn't published in the newspaper. If you can find out who this official is, send the data to me immediately. One more thing, it is mentioned that this case is over, I doubt if this death case has anything to do with my father's mission, but, just in case, I hope you can find me information about this case."]When the message was sent, Richard put his cell phone back in his pocket. If Rock had later managed to find the data of the dead officials and the arrested perpetrators, Richard promised to go to the perpetrators to confirm everything.The Gala Dinner was about to start, Richard decided to go up to the 5th floor using the elevator on the right side of the Front Desk. When Richard was about to walk to the elevator, Richard's shoulder was nudged by two young girls who seemed to be walking a little hurriedly."I never thought we would get
"Miss, before you speak, please take a moment to observe. You and this lady are on different levels," Richard said, casting a judgmental gaze at Judi before turning to Daisy. "If I were to rate both of you, she would be a perfect 10, while you, my dear, would be a negative 100. Don't even try to compete with her."Judi's anger boiled over. "You arrogant bastard! Who are you to judge my beauty? You're just a guest here, enjoying the free gala dinner like the rest of us!"Daisy whipped around at the clamor emanating from the elevator and was startled to see Richard flanked by two stunning women. She hastened over, bellowing in an effort to capture his attention."Richard! There you are!" Daisy, who had just joined Richard's side, scrunched her eyebrows at the pair of girls, who were now regarding her with a mysterious air."What's the matter? Are you acquaintances of Richard's?"Molly swallowed hard, caught off guard that the man Judi had just berated was someone of significance - none
Earlier, Lesley had asked Daisy to prepare a short speech for the gala dinner at the Phoenix Hotel. However, just before they entering the gala dinner hall, Daisy had a change of heart.After asking Lesley to wait for a moment, Daisy invited Richard to talk alone in a quiet hallway.Daisy closed her eyes for a few seconds and then reached for her husband's palm. Daisy's expression was very serious when she finally asked Richard."Are you on a dangerous mission this time?" Daisy asked, still holding her husband's hand.Richard scratched his neck with his other hand. To be honest, he couldn't even guess whether his mission was dangerous or not. However, since the first clue he got was a case related to 'death' that led to 'murder', it could be said that Richard's mission this time was indeed dangerous.Finally, Richard nodded his head, making Daisy take a long breath, then exhale slowly."Well, Richard, we don't need to make a speech at the gala dinner. We'll just mingle with the other
As the gala dinner progressed, a buzz of excitement filled the air as guests whispered and speculated about the identity of the mysterious benefactor who had treated them to such a lavish feast at the prestigious Phoenix Hotel. For many of them, the opportunity to attend a gala dinner at this opulent venue in South River was a rare and extraordinary experience, even for the wealthiest individuals in attendance.No wonder, when they were informed that someone had booked the gala dinner and invited five hundred selected guests, they guessed who the 'crazy rich' was."Maybe he's a relative of my boyfriend, well, come to think of it, my boyfriend does have a circle of friends with successful businessmen across the country." A woman seemed to be bragging about her boyfriend to her circle of friends."Giselle, we all have a circle of friends with rich background. It could be that the person who booked this gala dinner is your boyfriend's friend, or even our friend, that's normal. What I'm w
A man in a white shirt and red tie was seen walking from the south carrying a tray of tiramisu ice cream. There was nothing interesting about the man apart from his neat appearance. When Giselle saw Daisy still showing happy eyes towards the waiter, Giselle massaged her forehead a few times in response to the sense of wonder that plagued her mind. The curious Giselle then asked Daisy, "How come you look so proud to have a husband as a waiter like him? Oh, isn't that a disgrace to the Miller family?" Daisy almost choked on her own saliva. She hurriedly glanced at her index finger and then her eyes sorted out where the index finger was pointing. She almost choked for the second time after seeing that the direction of her index finger was indeed pointing at two men at once. The first man was Richard Forger who was wearing a classy suit that matched Richard's slender posture. While the second man who was also accidentally pointed by Daisy's index finger was the Phoenix Hotel waiter who
It doesn't require a person of extraordinary intelligence to fathom the reason why Giselle and her clique ousted Daisy. Whenever a strikingly handsome man approaches a gathering of women, the majority of them would naturally desire to eliminate the most gorgeous woman from their company. The same applies to Giselle's friends who view the man accompanying Tom Haley as too charming; they wouldn't willingly let the captivating Daisy steal his attention with her natural beauty.Regrettably, before the girls could shoo Daisy away, Tom Haley and Richard Forger had already come too close to Giselle's table. Their coming drawing the attention of other guests. Numerous people sitting at nearby tables stood up and saluted Tom Haley momentarily, while simultaneously pondering: "Who is that gentleman accompanying Mr. Haley? Why does he seem to have a hold over him?""I have traveled extensively and encountered numerous eminent personalities, but why does he seem unfamiliar?"Another guest added,
