Chapter 13 Tightness
"The cake is coming!"
I don't know who screamed, and then the lights went out. +. The sky outside had just darkened, and the process was clearly ahead of schedule. Amanda may be being considerate of her friend, but Emma has a disappointed look on her face and seems to want to stay longer.
Grande's three men were gradually pushed to the rear, and these three people were still a little abrupt in the eyes of a bunch of real acquaintances. Amanda's mother pulled the trio who were being pushed over the corner of the living room and squeezed into the crowd, lighting the only candle on the round cake.
"To celebrate life. The middle-aged woman suddenly said, some people understand, some people don't, "Now you can make a wish!
Amanda smiled and looked at her mother, who was imprinted with a smiling face by the candlelight, didn't think much about it, closed her eyes, thought for a while, and blew out the candle.
The lights came back on, and someone was already cheering to pull out the candle and bring the slender knife. Zach kept smiling, slowly moving away from the knife that reflected the silver light. The purpose of attending the party was to get to know the group, and Zach decided to start with Lola's driver, sort of to avoid the people in Mrs. Quinn's house, and although grateful, it always gave the vampire some uncomfortable stare in his heart.
As a host, Amanda is not actually responsible. She didn't make any introductions to the three of Grande, which may have something to do with Louise always being around Zach. Zach was on his own, but fortunately, the driver boy was familiar enough with the people of the Grande House, and it didn't take long for Zach to get to know his uncle, cousin, cousin, parents......
And then spread out with these people, and Zach already knew everyone here.
The vampire couldn't determine what he felt in his heart, and although he had guessed it, he was still a little helpless when he actually saw it. If you think that the upper class of the West Side is a family unit, then these people. The people who serve the illustrious surnames are also based on the family unit.
There were people who hadn't even seen Zach at all, and after knowing that he was Grande, they smiled and patted Zach on the shoulder, "Mr. Kosil mentioned you!" and some older people even called out the names of Old Grande and Old Hank, "So." You're Grande's son?!" they asked, winking.
Such a tight system is a good thing for Grande, and that's all Zuch can think of.
Socializing is a waste of time and mind, and Zach pulls out his 'snack tin' and gets some in the wine. The party is in the late stages and everyone is playing the game, so no one will notice. And the game they played really didn't make Zach feel involved.
The black magic hat was stuffed with notes written by everyone, and the people who drew it began to perform the names written on the notes to represent the people, and then a group of people began to guess.
"Stone!" someone shouted!
The performer nodded happily, opened the note again, and took a look. I thought about it for a moment. Then he continued to perform, standing up straight, making the appearance of turning a book, his brows slightly furrowed.
"Everyone in the Stone family looks like this!" someone shouted dissatisfied.
The performance made a helpless bitter face, and then made a sporty look.
"Hey, if you're serious, everyone in the Stone family will be good at exercising!" someone replied with an eyebrow, "Mrs. Stone goes for a run on the Charles River every morning." ”
The performer hunched his shoulders and thought again. This time he seemed to have something in mind. Rejoiced, began to undress......
Thank God. He was stopped! But he eagerly began to point at his body, as if to write something, all over his body.
"Ahh
Finally, someone guessed! The performer pulled his half-pulled pants and raised his hand to bow.
Someone couldn't wait to pull a piece of paper out of their magic hat and push away the guy who was still stumbling to lift his pants. Glancing at the note. After thinking for a while, the show began.
"Hey. Amanda took the wine glass and walked over to Zach, who was leaning against the wall, she looked at Louise, who was helping to sort out the dessert in the kitchen, and shook the wine in her hand a little embarrassed. "Thank you for the wine. ”
Zach smiled and nodded, "No thanks, I hope you like it." ”
Amanda nodded, her eyes not knowing where to look, "I like it very much, thank you." ”
Zach wasn't ready to answer anymore, and took a sip of wine with a smile.
In the middle of the surrounding sofa, the performer clenched his fist with one hand and stood in front of his chest with the other, looking excited. His face was red, but no one seemed to know who he was imitating, and they looked at each other suspiciously.
Amanda had a smile on her face, she had already guessed who it was, but she wasn't going to say it because it was her name. She glanced at Zach, who had a thoughtful expression, leaned her head closer, and whispered, "Barton Daily." ”
Zack's gaze shifted to Amanda, who approached and quickly left, squinting slightly, revealing an 'oh' expression when Amanda's slightly red face was about to turn away.
Zach shook his head and whispered, "Isn't it more intuitive for him to perform the wilting in a wheelchair." ”
Yes, the answer is Mrs. Quinn. Mrs. Quinn was praised by Zack for her imposing presence at a press conference three months ago.
The flush on Amanda's face remains, thanks to the wine. She smiled and shook her head, turned her face sideways, and whispered, "Even though it's a game, we still try not to show it......" She didn't continue.
Zach nodded in understanding.
"What are you talking about?" Louise smiled as she walked over, silver tray in her hand, and managed to deliver the last dessert to the table as she approached Zack. Louise stood in front of them, smiling like a beauty pageant.
"I'm just thanking Mr. Grande for the wine. For some reason, Amanda became nervous.
"I'm glad you like it. Louise said with a smile, naturally taking Zack's arm, and instead of looking at Amanda, her eyes looked at Benjamin, who was sitting drowsy in the chair, and then gestured to Zack.
It's time to leave.
Amanda had already spotted the two of them, so when Zach kept his usual smiling tone and said, "It's a little late, we have to go back to the South End, so ......," Amanda pursed her lips and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, you must have found it boring tonight." ”
"Oh no. Zach smiled and shook his head, "Actually, I'm happy. Zach didn't forget to wave his hand to the new acquaintances, indicating that he was leaving. He patted Benjamin on the shoulder, apologetic, "Benjamin is just lazy." "They're guests, and now they're embarrassing the host, which doesn't fit Zach's business.
Amanda smiled, didn't bother with the matter, went to the next room to get the coats of the three, "Again, thank you for being here today." ”
"We're glad to be here today. "Zach wasn't lying.
As they stepped out of the front yard, someone finally guessed Mrs. Quinn's name. A group of people complained noisily, "You're so unlike!" Mrs. Quinn always lifts her chin!"
As mentioned earlier, this is an unusually tight system. (To be continued......)
