Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 551

"Can I go with you?"

Seeing his parents in such beautiful clothes, Neo wanted to attend the banquet with them.

But it was a company banquet, not a private one. So, they couldn't let Neo attend it.

Clara told Neo this and Neo pouted and said he wouldn't go with them.

Clara felt like laughing as she saw the funny expression on Neo's face. But she refrained from doing so as she knew Neo would feel sad if she did that.

"Maybe next time, Neo Boy."

One day, Neo with go with them to a company banquet. It must be the day when Horace announced that Neo was his successor.

Neo nodded with his eyes shining. Then Clara and Horace left hand in hand.

Neo's eyes tinkled and then he went upstairs to study.

Yesterday Neo had had a day off. Today he should be working on his homework.

It was the first time for Clara to attend a banquet like this. She asked nervously, "Will there be a lot of people on that banquet?"

If so, Clara planned to remain silent and to always wear a smile.

Every single move of her would be witnessed by others. She was afraid that her words would affect the company's reputation.

"Don't bother,"

Horace stroked her head and consoled her. But then he fixed his thoughtful eyes on Clara.

"What? Is there anything on my face?"

Clara noticed his eyes. She touched her face to find if there was anything on it.

"Nothing. It's just… You're so beautiful," Horace said lowly and that made Clara flush.

Horace used to express his adoration for her through a joke.

So, Clara didn't expect him to say such warm words.

"Fine. Just focus on driving." Clara pushed his hand a bit and then remained silent.

Then she kept asking herself what she should do if there was an emergency or what she should say if someone asked her questions.

Before she could figure it out, they arrived.

Clara got off the car with Horace and then walked into the company arm in arm with Horace.

Their face and move both showed how they loved each other. But there was something different.

They were certainly the focus of today's banquet. All the guests present turned to look at them as they came in and they kept praising how beautiful Mrs. Kirkland looked and how handsome Mr. Kirkland was.

Clara knew they were just trying to flatter them, but she still smiled at them to greet them one by one.

Horace had always been cold to others so it was quite natural for him to remain silent at this moment.

The guests didn't expect Horace to smile at them. If he did so, it would be weird.

Horace saw Chester was drinking together with someone else. Then he noticed Horace and then walked over to Horace.

"You look good today, Mr. Kirkland." His words sounded better than the other guests.

Maybe that was because he did think Horace looked handsome. Or it might because he was good at lying.

"You too, Mr. Saunders." Horace said slowly, which was completely different from Chester's gentleness.

"And she is…"

Chester had met Clara before but now he still wanted Horace to introduce Clara to him.
