Chapter 116 Waylon Will Not Attend
Alena Wright thought for a while, and decided to hide it first, at least until Waylon Gray comes back, and explain it in front of him.
As for the Emperor Group's anniversary celebration, she still accompanies Waylon's father with peace of mind, and other matters will be discussed later.
Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye it is the day of the 100th anniversary celebration.
Alena was called back to Gray's old house by Waylon's father the day before.
The next day.
"Ron, go and see why hasn't Amanda come down yet?" Alfred, in a black suit, sat on the sofa with a cane, looked down at the watch on his wrist, and said to Uncle Ron, "Could it be the dress doesn't fit? I knew I should have let Amanda take some time to come back and try it on."
Uncle Ron laughed blankly: "Master, designer Lewis is the leading figure in the country. She has never missed the dress she designed by herself. Besides, you don't need to feel sorry for the young lady, for fear that she will be tired from running on both sides."
Alfred nodded again and again: "That's what you said."
"Dad."
While speaking, Alena had changed her clothes and came down from the escalator on the second floor. The big red tube top dress was like a blooming rose, making Alena's whole person more dazzling and radiant.
Waylon's father followed the voice and looked at her, without concealing his appreciation, and nodding his head again and again: "Yes, it is really something designed by designer Lewis. It is indeed extraordinary, and it sets off our Amanda more beautifully!"
Alena pursed her lips and smiled, her cheeks were red, and her apricot eyes were full of stars.
She was also taken aback when she first saw that dress. Originally, she thought that this blatant color was not suitable for her, but she didn't expect it to be surprisingly good-looking after changing into the dress.
The bright red not only did not make her look vulgar and exaggerated, but it added a bit of charm to her.
It's like a glass of fragrant wine that makes people want to taste.
Alfred stood up, circled Alena twice, and said with emotion: "Our Amanda is beautiful. Waylon, this kid, will be fascinated by their meeting and will not be able to find her."
Hearing the words Waylon, Alena was taken aback. Didn't Waylon go on a business trip?
Didn't he tell Alfred that he can't attend today's anniversary?
Or is it that Waylon's father made a mistake?
"Dad, Waylon can't come today..." Alena was about to ask.
At this moment, Ron reminded him: "Master, time is almost up, it's time to go."
Alfred nodded. As the masters today, they really shouldn't be late.
So, he told Ron: "Alright, we can't be late today, Ron, you go and have someone prepare a car."
Ron went down to make arrangements. Alfred's eyes stopped on Alena again, and he reached out and patted her shoulder: "Amanda has really grown up, don't worry, I will let Waylon treat you well from now on."
"Dad, you made fun of me again." Alena squeezed the corner of her skirt, blushing unreasonably.
She also forgot what she was about to ask.
Seeing her showing such a young daughter's posture, Waylon's father smiled charitably: "Okay, I won't say anything."
Alena noticed that Ron had already walked in from the yard, pursed her lips and didn't speak any more.
"Master, young lady, the car is ready."
Alfred nodded: "Okay, Amanda, let's go."
"Okay." Alena stepped forward and helped Alfred to walk outside the villa.
On the black Cayenne, Alfred put the crutches aside and patted Alena's hand earnestly: "Amanda, Dad has a few words to tell you in advance."
Alena knew in her heart that this anniversary celebration was of great significance to her, and Alfred's plan to let her attend as the wife of the president of the Emperor Group would naturally cause a lot of controversy.
"Dad, please tell me, I will listen." Alena lowered her head and put on a gesture of listening.
Alfred pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "You and Waylon have been in a bad relationship for so many years, and many occasions that should have been attended have not been attended. Today is your official appearance, it is inevitable that there will be all kinds of unpredictable thoughts. When people look at you, you must stay calm and not be affected."
The words are very vague, but Alena understands the meaning.
She now represents the Emperor Group, and countless people are staring at her every move, and if she is not paying attention, others will catch the handle and make a fuss, which will damage the terrible face of the family.
Alena also realized the seriousness of the matter and looked straightforward: "Dad, I know what to do, don't worry."
Alfred nodded kindly: "But you don't have to be nervous. You are my family's daughter-in-law. Few people dare to offend you. I'm just worried that someone will come out to make trouble, so I will tell you in advance. Let you be mentally prepared."
The tree attracts the wind. The Emperor Group has been a behemoth after standing for a hundred years in City A, but there are also many rising stars trying to replace it. The more important the moment, the more careful it is.
The banquet was held in a six-star hotel under the Emperor Group. When Alena and Alfred arrived, there were already a row of luxury cars parked at the door.
Cayenne stopped at the entrance of the hotel, and the person in charge of the banquet greeted him sharply: "Chairman, you are here."
Alfred nodded and glanced sharply in the hotel lobby: "How is the situation inside?"
"The chairman can rest assured that everything has been arranged and the atmosphere is very good."
"Well, that's good." While speaking, a group of people had already walked towards the hotel.
Alena looked at the door close at hand, and she knew that there was another world inside the door. Once she stepped in, she would be Waylon's righteous wife from now on. Everyone would respectfully call her Mrs. Gray when they saw her.
With brilliant lights, Alena stood by Alfred, stepping into another world step by step.
Although Alfred had retired behind the scenes for many years, Alena was still there. Many of the older generations still remembered his face, and they took the initiative to show their favor when he showed up.
"Alfred, congratulations."
"Emperor Group has its centenary since its establishment. It is the leader of our companies and the well-deserved leader!"
"Alfred, President Waylon is young and promising, and the Emperor Group is also thriving. It's really powerful."
In a group of truth or lie compliments, Alfred always smiles and took a calm attitude.
"Thank you, thank you, and thank you for your kindness! Waylon is still young, thanks to your guidance for many things."
The people who come there are all successful human beings. How can they dare to receive his grace: "Alfred is very humble."
Everyone laughed, someone noticed Alena who was with Alfred, and curiously said: "Hey, Alfred, who is this lady?"
