Chapter 200
“Dress up, we are going to a banquet party,” Brandon said and gave one last glance at Hannah before walking out of the room.
Hannah rolled her eyes and walked inside the bathroom, took her bath, and walked out of the bathroom.
She dried her hair and her body after which she brought out a gown from her wardrobe and put it on.
She applied a little makeup and other necessities after which she styled her hair. When she was done dressing up she wore her perfume, took her bag, and then walked out of the room.
Just as she walked out of the room, she saw Brandon coming out of the kid’s room looking all dressed.
He looked so handsome in his classic black tuxedo, she had almost lost in his handsomeness but she quickly composed herself and walked past him.
Brandon on the other hand felt his heart beat increase the moment he saw Hannah, she looked so pretty and sexy. He’s never seen a woman this beautiful and charming in all his life.
He had gone to the kid’s room and had told them he needed to attend a banquet and he would take them to the park tomorrow.
He sighed as he stared at Hannah who walked past him. He then brought out his phone and texted Arianna that he was leaving with Hannah and that she should watch over the kids.
After which he put his phone in his pocket and trailed behind Hannah who had gone outside the house and to Brandon’s car.
She opened the passenger door and entered the car, closing the door. She had this straight look on her face which neither stated that she was happy nor sad.
Brandon entered the car and stared at her pretty face, he then looked away from her. He ignited the engine and zoomed off.
A black car came to a halt in front of a five-star hotel. Both Brandon and Hannah climbed out of the car and walked inside the hotel beside each other like a power couple.
They located the hall where Mr Harold was holding the banquet. They both walked inside the hall and saw a lot of businessmen and women.
The hall was so big and everyone could be seen holding a glass of drink.
And just then Harold caught a glimpse of Brandon and Hannah.
He walked towards them with a smile on his face.
“Oh Brandon, thank you for coming at the last minute of invitation,” Harold said with a smile on his face and then hugged Brandon.
“It’s nothing, anything for an old friend,” Brandon said as he pulled away from the hug and Harold turned to Hannah.
“This must be your wife, Cinderella Mackenzie, right?. I have heard so much about her. She’s so pretty. Welcome Mrs Colby” Harold said and Hannah smiled at him.
Just then someone moved towards Harold and whispered in his ear that it was time to give his speech.
He smiled and nodded in response.
“I’ll be back, please make yourself comfortable, ” he said to Brandon and Hannah, and with that, he walked away from them.
Hannah then located an empty table and chair and sat on it, and then Brandon came and sat beside her.
“You should sit at another table,” Hannah said as she looked away from him and Brandon sighed.
“You want everyone to know you are angry at me? We are a couple and we should act like one. Whatever differences we have, we will settle it when we get home” Brandon said and Hannah rolled her eyes.
“We are not a couple” she said and just then she caught a glimpse of the young man who she had seen in the grocery store today.
He was staring at her with a smile on his face. Hannah wondered what he was doing at Harold’s banquet party.
Just then, a waitress came and dropped two glasses of drink on the table. Hannah took the drink and tasted it, the drink contained alcohol.
She raised her head and then the young man was gone. Weird, she thought.
She dropped the glass back on the table and then turned to Brandon who had gulped down the whole content in the glass.
She then looked away from him. They both sat and watched Harold give his speech on stage.
“Our company wouldn’t be where it is today if it wasn’t for the help of my crew members and all my employees.
You all worked so hard to make sure the company reached where it is today, thank you very much.
An important person is here with us today. He received an invitation just an hour ago and he honored me and attended.
Thank you so much, Brandon Colby, I’m so honored to have you here today.
Enjoy the party everyone” Harold said and everyone clapped their hands.
Harlord smiled and moved toward his friends who were sitted in the front row.
“You didn’t tell me Brandon Colby would be here,” one of his friends said and Harold smiled.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
“Come, I will introduce you to him,” Harold said and all his friends stood up and they all walked towards Brandon.
“Brandon Colby, this is my friend Billy and this is Timothy and this is Harrington,” Harold said, introducing his friends to Brandon who stood up and shook hands with them.
“It’s nice seeing you in person Mr Brandon, I have heard a lot about you and your company. A toast to a successful businessman” Billy said and raised a glass of drink to Brandon.
Harold, who had noticed Brandon’s glass was empty, called the waitress who then brought a bottle of drink and poured it into Brandon’s glass.
Brandon smiled and toasted to them too and gulped down everything in the glass.
Everyone at the party kept coming to him and toasting his glass while they kept refilling his glass and he kept drinking it.
Hannah who was standing beside Brandon with a smile on her face had now noticed Brandon’s eyes were becoming red as he was becoming tipsy.
“Uhm, we have to go now. Our kids are at home waiting for us. Now, enough of the drinks” she said as she smiled and took the glass of drink from Brandon and dropped it on the table.
After which, she held Brandon’s hands and they both walked out of the hall.
“Why would you do that? The party just started” Brandon said as he staggered a bit. The drink was too much and was already taking over him.
“You are drunk Brandon, I need to get you home,” she said as she held him and took him to the car.
She put him in the passenger seat and closed the door.
Now she had no choice but to drive, she thought, and then entered the car and closed the door. She raised her head and noticed someone staring at her from the front of the hotel.
It was the young man from the grocery store. She wondered who he was and why he was following her. The young man suddenly entered the hotel, she sighed.
She turned to Brandon and noticed he wasn’t wearing his seat belt. She sighed and decided to help him wear his seat belt when he held her face and suddenly kissed her.
