She had originally intended to get Richard to come over and pick a suit too but after giving him a call, she was told that he was occupied so he couldn’t come over. Besides, his mother had prepared his outfit too.
As soon as Angela realized that she was about to meet her future mother-in-law soon, she couldn’t quite contain her anxiety.
Daphne came along with Angela to pick out her gown for the banquet. Angela has required an elegant yet slightly more conservative gown for the occasion tonight. As long as her elegance and beauty could be showcased by the gown, the style of the gown did not really matter to her.
Angela had fair skin and the perfect figure to look good in the different styles of gowns. Soon enough, she picked a slightly shimmery gold evening gown. She also had a makeup artist scheduled to arrive at her place at three in the afternoon to put on her makeup for the night.
She hadn’t had a good night’s sleep the night before so she took a nap in the afternoon. After waking up from her nap, she was well-rested and in good spirits.. Her skin looked more supple and flawless than ever.
In a short while, Richard would come to pick her up. So, she started on her makeup session. Her flowing hair was weaved into a crown on her head and it was held in place by a simple pearl headpiece at the back of her head. There were no other embellishments necessary as her feature itself was already stunning enough.
The simple and refreshing makeup she had on was enchanting and was emphasizing her beauty.
At five in the evening, at the entrance to the Meyers mansion, Richard drove a black car and approached. His suit for the night was a slightly more formal-looking one. He had on a dark-colored shirt with a tie and he also had on a suit that fitted well. He looked just like a top male model.
He stood by the entrance like Prince Charming awaiting his princess date for the night. Meanwhile, Angela walked out with a nude jacket draped on her arms, and she looked like a princess indeed. She was stunning, beautiful, poised, and elegant.
Daphne came over with a smile on her face. “Richard, I’ll hand over Angela to you tonight.”
“Don’t worry, Mrs. Meyers. I’ll definitely take good care of her.” Richard nodded.
His voice and expression gave one a safe feeling and Angela reached out to clutch his arm as she turned to say to Daphne, “Mom, we’ll head off now.”
“Have fun.” Daphne sent them off and watched their retreating backs. She could practically see them on their wedding day and she couldn’t help tearing up at the thought of that. My baby girl’s about to get married.
Richard behaved in a chivalrous manner as he opened the door to the front passenger seat for Angela. As she lowered herself to enter the car, he placed his hand on the door frame to protect her head instinctively.
His car moved forward gracefully under the shimmering lights of the surroundings and it felt as if an air of romance had descended upon the entire town.
The banquet was held at a world-class banquet hall and it wasn’t just any ordinary hotel ballroom. The guests invited to the event tonight were parties that Scarlet intended to express her gratitude toward and those guests were made up of the wealthy, the powerful, and even ordinary people too.
Nonetheless, each one of them was honored to be invited.
Angela was led into the banquet hall by Richard and he held her hand in his. Scarlet-greeting guests by the entrance -saw them instantly as soon as they walked in and there was a surprised and excited look on her face as she walked over to them gracefully with poise.
“Richard, you guys are finally here.”
“Hi, Ms. Husson.” Angela quickly greeted Scarlet.
“You must be Richard’s girlfriend, Angela. You’re so pretty.” Scarlet instantly took a liking to Angela.
“Mom, you seem busy. We’ll head inside and take a seat first.” Richard didn’t want to interrupt Scarlet while she was busy with work. “Sure, head inside and get a seat. Take good care of Miss Meyers.” Scarlet nodded and watched as Richard entered the hall.
