After thinking about it for some time, Gerald finally gently patted Bea on the head before saying, “I'll tell you about it someday. Anyway, it's your birthday tomorrow! I'll prepare a little something for you, so be prepared to be surprised when you receive your gift!”
"Huh? What's the prize?” bea asked while sticking out her tongue playfully.
“It wouldn't be surprising if I told you the answer now, would it? Just wait for tomorrow,” replied Gerald with a faint smile before returning to his room.
Although she smiled as she left, Bea could feel how sad Gerald was. This was not the first time he had noticed it either.
While her cousin always behaves like a caring older brother, she can tell that she constantly has something weighing on her mind. He never seems to be really happy.
Bea suspects it has something to do with what happened between her and her future sister-in-law. However, because she refused to talk about it, Bea did not continue to pry for respect.
As her cousin, Bea naturally felt the urge to help her, and she knew that the easiest way—and very likely her only— to help in such a situation was to distract her from her gloom.
The problem is that Gerald doesn't really have a lot of people to have fun with in the Yanken, or at least that's what he thinks.
As the gears on Bea's head begin to spin, time passes and his birthday finally arrives.
While she originally planned to make a reservation at the restaurant that morning, she received a notice from her family before she could even call.
Apparently his family is having a party to celebrate the implementation of the project. All family members were invited to attend. After all, it's been a long time since such a celebration party—about signing a contract—was held.
From Bea's memories, the last time a similar party was held was about twelve years ago. This could only signify that the party this time would be extraordinarily grand. So majestic, that Lady Yaleman's eighty birthday party might not even be able to match her.
Since the Yaleman people had invited everyone they could think of, Bea did not even dare to think of apologizing. Therefore, she and Catherine quickly went to that place as soon as they were ready.
As one of the two main people in charge of the project, Bea had to stand at the door with Yura to greet the guests.
“Congratulations on all those projects, Mr Yaleman!”
“She is very young but she is already very capable! How incredible! The future of the Yaleman family really lies with you now, Mr Yaleman!”
Back then, some distinguished guests were bustling with praise for Yura. After all, they had heard that the Yaleman family had signed contracts for five major projects. It was an instant sign that their family had experienced an extreme increase. Things will be different now.
As Yura continued to get praise for the sake of praise, Bea just kept quiet as she stood to the side. Although he was the biggest contributor to this success, he was completely ignored by most of the guests.
“Huh! Even though you managed to get all those projects, don't think you'll excel just because of it! I'll say it now, with me here, you will forever be inferior to me! ” said Yura while smiling coldly at Bea.
Although he was very angry with his comments, he did not say anything.
“By the way, Bea, it's your birthday, right? Huh! It looks like you won't be able to celebrate!” yura added with a grin on her face as Bea glared at her.
Moments later Lady Yaleman appears, leading several people from their families.
However, when she saw Bea's expression, she immediately said, “Bea, I hope you realize what kind of event we are celebrating today! Very cold and aloof. We have so many honored guests here today, but the way you present yourself will make anyone feel unwanted!”
Lady Yaleman could not help but scold her. After all, he was a person who cared deeply about his reputation and dignity.
“You may forget, grandma, but today is Bea's birthday! Of course he wouldn't be happy because he's here welcoming guests rather than celebrating!” yura clear.
"Oh? Is it your birthday today? What a sad case! You feel burdened because you have to take care of family business even though this is your special day, right?” rose said suddenly as she joined the conversation.
"I don't!" deny Bea immediately.
Hearing what Rose said, Lady Yaleman frowned.
“After all, you and Yura are standing here because you are both in charge of the project. However, look at how he presents himself, then compare yourself to him! Think of your manners in front of the guests! It seems that what your aunt said is true. He has claimed that you have no experience of being a superior, and although I thought that you would be able to adapt quickly, I was wrong. It seems like you are really incapable of handling such an opportunity. ”
“You no longer need to welcome guests! Just go inside and see if anything else needs help!” lady Yaleman said solemnly.
