Joe William
The cold honor
The group led by Honor Miller who numbered in the hundreds finally arrived at the front where Lord Liu had stood. Enthusiastically, the middle-aged man welcomed the arrival of the group from Victoria Peak.
"Tiger Lee! Haha. We haven't met for months. How are you, buddy?" Asked Master Liu while greeting the tiger-haired and tattooed man. On his index finger appeared a white ring with a skull symbol.
"Haha. My news as you see it is, Liu!" Tiger Lee answered who continued their hands into hugs.
"Oh yeah. I'm sorry if I had to come to your show. I'm not going in. Because, what you invited was my master. So, my coming here is only to accompany my Master,"
"Ah. What are you talking about, Tiger? I invite your Master to invite anyone who wants to come. Coincidentally you and the others came, then you included my invited guest. Did we just know?" It is also unpleasant that Master Liu's heart gets a subtle insinuation from the tiger-tattooed man.
"Haha. I'm just kidding. Are we just going to talk here?" Once again Tiger insinuated the Host.
"Shortly, Tiger! I will greet Mr. Kim, Mr. Liem Guan and Uncle Cheung" Mr. Liu said, greeting each of them and stopping at Honor.
Squinting his eyes, Master Liu looked at Honor and said. "Is this the old little boy, Tiger?" Ask Mr. Liu.
"Not wrong. The young man in front of you is Honor Miller" Tiger Lee replied proudly.
"Ooh.., hahaha. Time passes very quickly. It turns out we're old. Here's proof. My best friend's son is grown up now,"
"Greetings to you, Mr Liu!" Honor said without bowing. Looks very haughty this young man's style.
"Eh. Don't call me Sir. I'm not a Master in front of the Miller family. Call me Uncle! Uncle Liu!" Said Master Liu naming himself to the young man.
"Alright, Uncle Liu! Thank you for your hospitality. Thank you also for inviting me to this dinner you hosted. I'm so honored to have an invitation from you" Honor said in a tweet. In fact, in his heart he cursed the sweet nature of the completely insincere middle-aged man. At least, that's what he thinks.
"alright. You are my guests of honor. Come on in!" Invite Master Liu while stretching his hand to make the gesture inviting.
Preceded by Uncle Cheung, and Master Liu, they finally entered the mansion owned by Mr. Liu.
In the room, it looks like the tables and chairs have been arranged neatly. In fact, there were already many invited guests who had been there.
They were all currently looking towards Master Liu and the Honor troupe.
Inwardly, they wondered who the handsome yet haughty young man was.
Regardless of the gazes from those in the room, Tiger Lee immediately pulled a chair at one of the tables for the guest of honor then invited Honor Miller to sit down.
"My nephew, Honor! Please enjoy this dinner. Don't hesitate! Let's just say this house is your own!" Said Mr. Liu.
Honor only nodded faintly and after that, he was busy talking to Mr. Kim and Mr. Liem Guan.
The first person to notice her presence was Mr. Kim.
After clearing his throat a few times, the middle-aged man asked, "sorry Miss. Is your name Margaret Liu?"
Hearing these words from Mr. Kim, Honor immediately turned his attention to the side. A few moments he looked at the girl and immediately turned his face indifferently.
"Yes, Uncle Kim. Don't you know me anymore?" Ask the girl.
"Ehem.., ahem.., I'm sorry about your senile uncle, Miss. Oh yea. Who is the glass in your hand for?"
"Uncle.., I deliberately came to your table because I found out from Dad, that a Mr. Miller's family was at this dinner. Then, I took the initiative to ask her toast," the girl replied with a smile.
"Well, wow..! It is an honor to be like that. My son greatly admires you, Miss Margaret. But, maybe he's unlucky tonight" chirped one of the guests whose desk is not too far from Honor's table.
Honor glanced slightly with the corner of her eyes. And he saw a bald man sitting together with a middle-aged woman and a slender, narrow-eyed, yellow-skinned young man who was then seemingly unblinkingly staring at Margaret.
"Ah. Uncle Buwei is flattering me too much. It's not that Uncle's son is unlucky. It's just that, I was deliberately to welcome the arrival of an honored guest, Mr. Honor Miller, who was indeed a guest of honor at this event. Will Uncle Buwei forgive me?" Ask Margaret while slightly bending down to show her cleavage that was indeed wearing a shirt with a very low top.
"Uhukis. Uhuk.., uhuk," looked the young man sitting on the flank by Mr. Buwei and the middle-aged woman who was probably his wife was coughing.
Cracks!
"I don't have time to get involved in this shit. If you want to talk, get out of here near my desk. Don't make my ears deaf!" Honor said in a cold voice. It seemed that the glass in his hand had cracked from being too firmly grasped by his hand.
Tiger Lee immediately appeased the anger of Honor Miller who did not like this event.
Meanwhile, Margaret looked a little surprised as well seeing the response from the young man.
Usually, he who became a flower is always mobbed by men. In fact, they are willing to do anything to get his attention. But, in front of the young head of the Miller family, everything seemed like it did not become. Honor did not interfere with his presence. In fact, just the first impression Honor has made face.
"Mr Miller! Forgive me if my words made you feel uncomfortable. I, once again apologize!" The bald man stood up and clenched his fists and covered him with one more open hand, as a form of his apology.
Honor Miller just grunted. At least he did not care about the babble of the bald man earlier.
Meanwhile, Margaret who failed to attract the young man was just grunting.
With a dead red face, he called out to the waiter. After the servant came, he handed over the two glasses that were in his hands then immediately left the place violently.
Seriate...
