Mystery: Mr. Witch and Miss Hunter

Chapter 242

At seven o'clock in the evening, in front of the most luxurious buildings in the dock area.

It took Adele three and a half minutes to arrive in Hall's mansion at No. 7 Whalebone Street in a two-wheeled carriage.

Unlike fake nouveau riche like Adele, Ms. Hall doesn't need to grab an office building by herself (although she may do it faster), as long as she buys it in full.

After arriving in Cosston, the accountants she brought with her quickly planned a strategy for the company's development, which included buying this iconic building.Before the Queen's Island Shipping Company started normal business, it was temporarily used as a place for Ms. Hall to hold banquets and receive guests.

Glancing at the fountain pool with the sound of water splashing and reflecting the lights even in winter, Adele slightly adjusted the ruffled dress made of gold cotton fabric, and walked slowly towards the main entrance of the house.

Although the waiter at the door was a bit slow when he was shocked by the witch's appearance, he still caught the beaver shawl that Adele took off in time with his professionalism.

It seems that after getting along with Miss Audrey for too long, the resistance to beautiful women has gradually increased?
Adele thought wildly, trying to adjust her mentality in this way.

It's not like she hasn't participated in similar gatherings before, but it's the first time she's been formally invited to participate in a dinner party of this level. This also led to the fact that although she understands similar etiquette, she lacks the opportunity to practice it.

After entering the gate, Adele saw Miss Audrey in a gown with leg of lamb sleeves and a high-neck print walking towards her gracefully.

Contrary to the impression that Adele had left on Adele at the Baron Syndra's ball, Miss Audrey's attire seems to have changed a lot.

Exquisite lace is rarely seen on the clothing, and even the skin is rarely exposed.More importantly, her dress is gradually developing towards a neutral direction. At this time, the dress on her body can vaguely see the shadow of a lady's riding suit.

If I didn't know her well enough, I would think she has a boyfriend...

"I commend you for your vision. On behalf of the post-war refugees who have benefited from the Jianhai County Revitalization Project, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you."

While Adele and Audrey exchanged polite greetings, they took out an exquisite small box from their handbag and handed it to each other.Audrey took it with a smile and handed it to the personal maid.

In Loen's upper-class social scene, if you join a banquet held by the other party for the first time, you must give the host a small gift, among which alcoholic beverages are the most popular.

However, if the guest is a female guest who is invited alone, or if the host of the ball is a woman, it will be more offensive to give alcoholic beverages.On such occasions, a perfume of similar value is generally substituted.

However, other cosmetics cannot be given as gifts, otherwise it will be regarded as a mockery of the owner's appearance, which is a serious offense.

"At this time, you only need to praise the goddess."

Audrey nodded slightly, "He will not ignore your efforts either."

It's a pity that it's in a public place, otherwise it should be said "praise Mr. Fool" at this time...

Adele thought quite divergently.At the same time, she followed Audrey Hall through the porch to the center of the dance floor in the hall.There is already a melodious melody echoing here, and people gather in twos and threes, talking to each other.

After exchanging pleasantries with Adele for a while, Audrey apologized, walked to the stairs, elevated her position slightly, raised a glass of red wine and said to all the guests:
"Thank you for participating in this ball. First of all, let us praise the gods, which are the source of all good things."

In a similar ball, the host will make three toasts. The first two are fixed praises to the gods and the kingdom, and the third is a toast that needs to be prepared in advance, which is the only way to show the temperament of the master.

Adele stood aside holding the cup, accepting the routine toast with everyone.

"So in the end, what should we praise?"

Audrey's green eyes swept across the faces of the guests present one by one. Coupled with her beautiful appearance, not only would they not make the guests feel uncomfortable, but it would be pleasing to the eye.

"Praise the economic recovery of the inter-sea region."

The moment Audrey swept past her, Adele understood what she meant, then stepped forward a little, and said loudly.

All of a sudden, most of the eyes in the hall turned to Adele's direction, including curiosity, fear, covetousness and other meanings.

"That's a nice proposition."

Audrey's eyes were full of smiles, and she introduced to the guests: "Everyone, please allow me to officially introduce Miss Adele Circe to you—you may have seen her name in the newspaper, But I'm afraid it's the first time I've seen her in person."

"Just now she suggested that I praise the economic recovery of the Jianhai region—this is indeed one of my political propositions. However, to make it a reality, this lady's outstanding efforts are indispensable."

Audrey took Adele's hand and raised a glass with her to greet all the guests present.

"Then, let us praise the economic recovery in the Middle Sea region, and praise the gentlemen and ladies who will do practical things for the people of the kingdom!"

All the guests responded enthusiastically and drank the alcoholic drinks in their hands.

Immediately afterwards, Audrey took Adele's hand, and under the astonished eyes of everyone, she and Adele performed the opening dance.

In fact, it makes sense to do so. After all, it is very common for the host of the banquet to invite important female guests to dance. When the host does not have a female companion, the host and the highest-ranking female guests usually dance to start the scene. Dance to show the host's importance to each other.

It's just that many people are destined to only see such a scene once in their lifetime.

Audrey Hall has always been one of the best in the circle of aristocrats, and even in an interview with the children of the aristocrats "the woman who most wants to marry", she ranked first with more than three times the votes of No.2 .How her appearance can be seen.

And Adele, even before Sequence 7, was judged by Gagaran as handsome enough to make it difficult for a witch to control herself. After the transformation, her charm has not diminished but increased. It's hard to tell the difference.

It has to be said that Audrey's dance tutor is exceptional.Although Adele is dancing women's steps for the first time, as long as she follows her lead, her body will spontaneously take the correct dance steps.

"Don't be nervous."

Audrey said softly in Adele's ear, "You will have to experience many similar scenes in the future, so just get used to it in advance."
