Grandma's Birthday Party Part 3

"Happy birthday, Mom."

Alren Lazaro kissed the back of Alena's hand and gave a gentle hug.

"Thank you for taking the time to come, Alren," Alena said as she looked gently at Alren.

"Papa" said Alren to Rendarto, who was sitting next to Alena.

Rendarto simply commented his smile to his eldest son.

"Sir Alren," said Renal who sat beside Rendarto.

Alren only gave a nod that was barely visible to anyone as a form of response to his sister.

Velan looked at his father-in-law. A tall man in a suit that perfects his appearance. The man had a stern face and a cold look. Her hair still looked black with a neat order. The man has an intimidating aura that is so obvious that it adds a horror impression to the thin mustache man with a neatly arranged beard like Tony Stark in the superhero film Iron Man.

Alren cast a gaze to his entire family.

"Papa," the two Alren's daughters immediately greeted Alren.

"Alren, My husband," said Vega.

Alren simply glanced towards them without saying anything. The two bodyguards immediately pulled the chair for Alren, Alren immediately sat down beside Alena.

"Please sit down" Alren told his family, who were still standing.

Alren's eyes were fixed on the foreign figure sitting beside Vega. A petite figure that made him wonder.

"Who is he?" alren asked towards Velan.

"Alren My husband, he is Velan, Voren's wife," Vega replied.

Velan smiled clumsyly, his smile just looking like a sneer.

"Voren's wife?" alren asked with his eyebrows raised high.

"Right, my husband, you didn't attend Voren's wedding because your secretary said you still have business in America" Vega replied.

"Where is Voren?" ask Alren.

"Voren is still busy taking care of his work, My husband," replied Vega.

Alren turned his gaze back to Velan.

"Include yourself," Alren said with a commanding tone.

Instantly Velan felt tense as all eyes were on him. Velan immediately stood up from his chair.

"Good night, my name is Velandara, commonly called Velan, I am the wife of Voren," Velan said as she bent her body.

"What was your last education?" ask Alren.

"I graduated from S1 from one of the public universities" replied Velan.

Alren nodded, apparently his son-in-law was an educated woman.

"Can you tell me about your family?" ask Alren.

In Velan's heart wondered, was this some kind of interview to promote her portfolio in front of her father-in-law?

That means Velan has to say all the good things about his family. But what a good thing he could tell about his family to give the impression that Velan was not an ordinary middle-class family. Quickly Velan's brain thought hard in the middle of a curious gaze that was now raining down on him in droves.

"Both of my parents are retired from multinational companies, I have four older brothers who are currently trying to pursue a career to follow in the footsteps of my parents" replied Velan.

They are just unemployed with too high an ideal, Velan said.

The expression of the family members looked bright. Moreover, Vega, he was very confident that this son-in-law would be bestowed many sons given the large number of Velan brothers.

"What's your job?" ask Alren again.

"I run a culinary business, for the scale is still small, but I am sure that in the future it will certainly develop over time, because I see good prospects in my business," replied Velan.

Velan felt like crying because he could talk so good. At least he should make a good impression on his father-in-law who seems very demanding of a perfect son-in-law. Answering each question with confidence and determination is the key to success on every interview test.

"Well, you're in the culinary business, if you may know what culinary you're working on?" ask Renata.

"I run a snack business" replied Velan.

"Yes, I've been learning to cook since I was in elementary school. Because I believe that food is the primary need of every human being who lives on this earth" replied Velan.

"Well, Voren's wife turned out to have a very interesting portfolio, a young businessman who also takes care of the household" Alena said.

"Thank you for Grandma's praise, I really like the challenge that can be a whip to keep motivating me to develop even better" Velan said.

"Velan, I can't wait to taste the products you've launched to the public" Renata said.

"Yes, really, I was curious about the snacks you said," Renava said.

"Both Brother-in-law, I will prepare later," said Velan.

Vega smiled proudly at Velan, he really did not wrongly entrust Madam Yue to find Voren a soul mate. Velan is a wonderful woman. His warm, well-mannered, and quick-blending personality really made a good impression on the Lazaro family. Alren also tried to hide his pleasure because his son-in-law seemed easy to get along with his two daughters.

"Thank you to everyone who has attended my birthday, I am so grateful God still gives me health so that I can still get the pleasure of a long life," alena said before all the guests present.

"On this happy occasion I would also like to introduce someone who has just joined the family as a new member" Alena continued.

"Velan, welcome to this family," said Alena who was immediately greeted with a standing ovation from guests.

Velan stood up from his chair, then leaned over to greet all the eyes that were on him. Then Velan sat back in his chair.

One guest who did not applaud and seemed to ignore the announcement was Darla. Darla really did not want to see a sight that for her was very dull.

Right now what Darla has in mind is how to get the attention of the board of commissioners so that her son can have full support. Darla turned her gaze to Vega who seemed to be smiling with satisfaction as if enjoying her victory. For Darla, only her son deserved to be the full holder of power over the Group Emperor. He has even set up many strategies, one of which is by gathering support from other shareholders.

Darla cursed in her heart while watching her phone. He has tried many times to contact Daren. But Daren hasn't answered his phone yet.

In Darla's mind, this was the perfect time to gather support from the board of commissioners. Alren did say that he supported Daren, because he saw the competence possessed by Daren. But Darla can't feel calm because Vega and Voren seem to continue to shadow Darla and Daren's steps.

Cih, you're wrong to feel that you've won Vega, Darla's mind while sipping her drink with an irritated feeling that is blowing.

Velan stared fixedly at the necklaces and earrings worn by Renata and Renava. In his mind came so many questions. The necklace and earrings worn by her two sisters-in-law, were exactly the same as the necklace and earrings she found while going to wash Voren's clothes.

If the necklace and earrings were indeed for Velan, Voren should have given the jewelry as soon as possible along with the dress that would also be given to Velan. Why until now Voren has not been handed the surprise?

Renata realized that Velan had not broken up staring at him and also Renava.

"Velan, what's wrong?" ask Renata.

Velan gasped, he quickly extended his smile to spread his thoughts.

"The necklace and earrings that Brother Renata and Sister Renava are wearing are really good" replied Velan.

"Thank you" said Renava.

"Are those necklaces and earrings trending huh, so are you twins?" ask Velan.

"You're right, Velan, this is a necklace and earrings from a famous fashion house in Europe, is now a trend and of course this jewelry is limited edition jewelry," replied Renava enthusiastically.

"We were really lucky to get this exclusive jewelry" Renata said.

"Well, it deserves to be so beautiful and beautiful! You guys are so perfect to wear it" Velan said.

Velan again felt fluttering. Her husband had even bought the exclusive jewelry. Velan was really looking forward to getting a surprise from her husband.

...~...

Velan stepped out of the meeting room. He needed fresh air because he found it difficult to breathe freely. He felt all the nerves in his body stiffen for a moment.

For some reason she felt troubled because almost all the sweet words that she made in front of her husband's family were merely hyperbole talk.

Well, her name is also Velan wants to try to show a good first impression in front of her husband's family. He certainly does not want to be looked at one eye.

No problem poor, the important thing is arrogant! If you wait for rich then arrogant, when rich?

Velan's eyes caught the figure of the man who made Velan's heart seem to stop beating. 

The handsome man was a love peddler one night whom he called the other day to listen to his grievances.
