Because of the previous night’s nonsense, the following day all day, Amelia Bright felt weak all over, stayed in bed until the afternoon, the more sleepy, there is a feeling of a long sleep.
Near the end of the day, Farren Austin came back and tapped the covers to wake her up.
She rolled over and turned around, her eyes closed and said in a jarring voice, “Is the event over?”
“Well, it’s over.”
Looking at her, Farren Austin felt a little amused and reached up to straighten the messy hair on her face, “It’s late, get up, you have a party at seven.”
Amelia Bright rested on his hand and muttered, “I don’t want to go.”
“No, I can’t.”
“Who told you to toss me last night, I’m not going.”
As the words left his mouth, Farren Austin coughed.
Amelia Bright suddenly felt that the atmosphere is not quite right, opened her eyes, first looked at Farren Austin in a wheelchair, was wondering why he is still at home in a wheelchair, the corner of the eye immediately saw a row of people standing at the end of the bed.
Can’t be?
She turned her head mechanically, and when she saw Adjutant Xun and the two women behind him pushing a row of dresses, she could not find a hole in the ground.
After a long time, in an awkward stare, Amelia Bright slowly pulled up the quilt until it covered her head.
Farren Austin pulled the covers off without changing his face and came closer to say, “Don’t worry, no one will spread the word about what you just said, my people are very tight lipped.”
After that, he instructed, “Change your wife’s clothes.”
After leaving the stylist and costumer behind, Farren Austin and Adjutant Xun both left the bedroom.
Amelia Bright pulled the corners of her mouth at the two women at the end of the bed and smiled a parting awkward smile.
Because it was an important party, it was important to dress appropriately, not to show your arms and legs, but also to reflect the traditional style, so Amelia Bright wore a moon white embroidered suit, knee-length skirt, with a small Tang-style suit jacket, embroidered with lotus pond moon color at the edges, long hair was pulled behind the head, with a precious blue hairpin pin.
When she saw the hairpin, Amelia Bright lit up.
“This hairpin looks so familiar.”
The stylist behind her, who was holding the hair, explained in a formal manner.
“This is IM’s spiral hairpin, this brand has not been developed for a long time, but Hounslow’s wives all like it, so the wife may have seen it before, this party has several ladies’ jewelry sponsored by them, this is also.”
At these words, Amelia Bright was a little excited inside.
Since IM was on the right track, Amelia Bright had seldom asked about the store, basically leaving it to Danna Keller and Miyagawa to take care of it, but she didn’t expect that they could even get involved in such a big occasion as a banquet.
The address of the banquet was set at Hounslow Hall, a venue large enough to hold tens of thousands of people, divided into various banquet halls, security alone surrounded the entire hall, even if Amelia Bright has participated in many large and small parties, in front of this banquet is not worth mentioning.
Outside the car window are layers of security personnel, the car is very slow, almost to the entrance, Amelia Bright took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, thinking that later to meet are only on television to see those important people, but feel a little nervous.
As she thought about it, the back of her cold hand was suddenly covered by a large hand, and Farren Austin’s voice came to her side.
“Just think of it as a normal party, don’t be nervous.”
Amelia Bright let out a breath, “Ordinary parties where there are so many media reporters on the scene staring at you, if I accidentally say something wrong, is not the end? How about I just don’t say anything?”
“If you want people to think I’m married to a mute, then you don’t say anything.”
“What’s wrong with a mute? People won’t think it’s strange if you have bad legs anyway.”
Farren Austin was speechless.
After a few words of dislike, Amelia Bright relaxed and the car pulled up to the entrance of the ballroom, Adjutant Xun opened the door outside, prepared the wheelchair in advance, and helped Farren Austin out of the car.
The Hounslow Assembly Hall was glorious, and a great deal of effort had clearly gone into preparing for the banquet.
“A reporter says he wants to interview the missus later.”
“Do I?” Amelia Bright froze for a moment and frowned, “Can I not go?”
“If you don’t want to go, don’t go.” Farren Austin looked pale, not very concerned about these things.
Adjutant Xun, however, showed a difficult look, “Chief, that reporter was recommended by the wife of Chief Guan of District 12, I heard that she is the niece of Chief Guan’s wife, she is a reporter of the military daily, she shouldn’t ask any too strange questions.”
“This matter was not said in advance, Amelia was not prepared at all, do not go.”
“But …”
“I’d better go,” see Adjutant Xun embarrassed like that, Amelia Bright is also embarrassed to refuse again, “not to say that will not ask too difficult questions? A little bit of interviewing should be the end of it.”
“Yes.”
“That’s fine.”
Seeing that Amelia Bright had agreed, Farren Austin also stopped insisting, and only reminded, “Have her give you the interview script in advance, don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask, and have Amelia prepare other questions in advance.”
This is also considered to Amelia Bright very well protected, this occasion if the wrong word is heard, whether it is for Amelia Bright or Farren Austin, and even the Austin family, are implicated.
Just as we reached the ballroom, we suddenly heard someone speak, “The Four Armies are here, Austin!”
A group of men in the distance looked in the direction of Farren Austin and Amelia Bright, and one of the leaders, who looked over 50 years old, smiled extraordinarily openly and cheerfully, and walked straight over.
” Austin, I have come to Hounslow half a month have not seen you, or this morning to see you, I heard that you have been in the army training it, how is your health?”
“The chief is concerned, I am quite well,” Farren Austin saluted, still with a cool look, and introduced Amelia Bright.
“This is my wife, Amelia Bright.”
“This is the head of District 12, Admiral Kwan.”
Amelia Bright greeted, figuring that this District 12 in Farren Austin’s words should be the one that Adjutant Xun had just mentioned, so the reporter who would be interviewing her later would be the chief’s niece.
Sure enough, he looked at Amelia Bright Road, smiling amiably.
“The military daily recently wanted to do a special on military wives, the reporter is my incompetent niece, specially said to interview Austin’s wife, I also thick my old face to let people talk to you two, if my niece has any bad questions, you bear some.”
Farren Austin looks light, can not see what emotions.
“By the way, several military regions over there have arrived, the southern military region of the old Liu came early today, Austin brother, you do not want to go to say hello.”
When he heard this, Amelia Bright’s heart stuttered.
The Southern Military Region, is not …
