Chapter 177 Susie: Tonight, I am the real audience

Chapter 177 Susie: Tonight, I am the real audience

Three high-hanging crystal lamps, with firelight on the surrounding walls, illuminated every corner of the entire first-floor hall.

The road leading from the lobby to the restaurant was paved with expensive light red carpets, and a group of maids in black and white uniforms stood in each row.

Arriving at the restaurant, a long dining table was placed vertically, filled with all kinds of exquisite dishes, cutlery, forks and other tableware. The maids began to get busy in an orderly manner.

Earl Hall was wearing a formal tuxedo, sitting at the top of the table, his face was as usual, and there was no sign of any mood swings.

A pair of majestic eyes fell on Hastur as soon as he arrived at the restaurant.

Sitting on the right hand side of Earl Hall is the intellectual and elegant Countess Hall. She also looks over with a smile on her face.

Sitting beside Countess Hall was Audrey.

Tonight, Audrey is wearing a long white and pink dress, with a string of emerald green gems hanging from her earlobes, and a ring of pink gems on her slender swan neck. She has blonde hair, blue eyes, and beautiful appearance, and she is absolutely unashamed of Baker. Rand's most dazzling gem.

Hibbert briefly introduced: "Please allow me to introduce this young and promising young man, Baron Hastur Campbell, the heir to the Campbell family and a good friend whom I recognize."

Mr. Hastur is also a good friend of mine!

Audrey added in her heart, and at the same time entered the audience state, curiously looking at Mr. Hastur tonight.

She didn't know if it was her imagination, but she always felt that Mr. Hastur was a bit reserved tonight, and there seemed to be a trace of uneasiness in her heart.

Although he appeared calm and calm on the outside, he still had some psychological fluctuations after all.

It's really rare that Mr. Hastur would have such psychological fluctuations.

Is it because Earl Hall's aura is too strong?

Audrey secretly looked at Earl Hall tonight with her peripheral vision.

After observing for a while, his eyes widened slightly. Tonight, Earl Hall did not seem to be as calm as in the past. He had a lot of emotions in his heart, and he seemed to be facing the enemy.

how come!

His father actually considered Mr. Hastur as his enemy?

And it’s the kind of enemy that requires all your strength to defeat!

Could it be that I saw it wrong?

At this time, Earl Hall, who had been staring at Hastur, retracted his gaze and said calmly: "Not bad."

"It is indeed very good. It is more praised and liked than the rumors." Countess Hall also smiled and said.

Hibbert looked at Audrey and smiled: "My sister, beautiful Miss Audrey, where is your compliment?"

"Baron Campbell is indeed a young, promising and knowledgeable nobleman."

Hibbert finally looked at Hastur and said, "Hasta, it seems that my family recognizes you."

This sentence sounds normal, but different people have different thoughts when it falls on their ears.

Even Hastur's heart suddenly moved.

The atmosphere seemed to have subtly changed all of a sudden. Hastur bowed slightly and saluted: "The praise tonight will be something I will remember for the rest of my life."

Countess Hall seemed satisfied with Hastur's humble gesture, and the smile on her face became more obvious.

There was a smile on Hibbert's lips, and his eyes revealed emotions that were difficult to see through.

Audrey wanted to strike up a conversation, but on this occasion, she felt it was better to speak less and keep a certain safe distance from Mr. Hastur.

Although she didn't know what was special about tonight's invitation, she had such an intuition.

Earl Hall said with a straight face and a low voice: "Sit down and eat."

"please."

Hibbert came to the lower left position of Earl Hall, and then led Hastur to sit next to him, just face to face with Audrey.

At this time, the maid who had just finished placing all kinds of tableware began to come over with dishes one after another.

When Earl Hall began to pick up the knife and fork to taste the food, others followed suit.

During the meal, no one spoke, even the footsteps of the maid in charge of serving dishes were very soft.

Every time the plates or cutlery were placed there was no sound at all.

This scene is like a silent mime.

The only person who had a panoramic view of this mime scene was Susie lying on the walkway on the second floor.

Its gaze contains the wisdom of seeing through the world. Its two front legs are folded in front of it, its head is slightly raised, and it is condescending, quietly enjoying the silent performance of the group of humans below in an elegant manner.

Tonight, at this moment, it is the only real audience.

The silence continued, as if there was an invisible pressure hanging over the dining table.

Earl Hall didn't speak, and the others didn't speak first.

Hasta was quite satisfied with this kind of dining experience. The chef of Earl Hall's family obviously had a very high level of cooking. Even some common foods could be cooked with different delicacies.

Although my own chef is not bad, in this aspect, I still can't compare with Earl Hall's chef.

Hastur even came up with the idea of ​​spending a lot of money to recruit a master chef back.

Audrey, who was sitting opposite Hastur, felt a little uncomfortable.

Tonight's dinner always gave her a very restricted feeling, as if there were some rules around her that bound everything, making it difficult to be free.

She really wanted to tell Mr. Hastur across from him that in fact, their family's dinner on weekdays was not so boring. Occasionally, Earl Hall didn't mind telling some jokes to liven up the atmosphere.

But Earl Hall seemed to be in a bad mood tonight, probably because he was not doing well outside.

After thinking for a while, she could only taste the food silently.

As the main meal ended, the maids served several very delicate and delicious desserts.

When the desserts were served on the table, Audrey keenly caught the surprise flashing in Mr. Hasta's eyes opposite.

She was a little proud of this.

She knew that Mr. Hasta liked desserts, so in the arrangement of today's dinner, she specifically instructed several dessert chefs in the kitchen to pay attention to controlling the proportion of sugar, not too sweet, and to achieve a level of sweetness without being greasy.

While Hasta was silently enjoying the master-level dessert, Earl Hall, who had been silent, finally spoke.

"Tonight's dessert is a little light."

"It's indeed a little lighter than before."

Countess Hall also tasted that the dessert tonight was a little different from the usual dessert.

Oops!

Audrey's expression was slightly stiff, and she was a little flustered. She actually forgot that Earl Hall had a heavier taste and focused on the sweeter one in the choice of dessert.

How to explain this?

Hibbert seemed to see her embarrassment and chuckled, "I told the kitchen to lighten the dessert so that it would be more in line with the guests' taste."

Earl Hall and Countess Hall looked over, Hasta stopped eating and thanked Hibbert for his thoughtful arrangement.

Earl Hall retracted his gaze, his calm face showed no emotion, but Countess Hall smiled and said, "Are you particular about desserts?"

"It's just a personal preference. I like to taste delicious food on weekdays." Hasta answered truthfully.

With this beginning, the scene seemed to be harmonious all of a sudden.

Hibbert said with a smile on his face, "Hasta, what are you busy with at home on weekdays?"

"In addition to dealing with some factory and law firm matters, I prefer to stay in the study to read some books, then taste delicious food, and occasionally go out for a walk to appreciate the beautiful Backlund."

"Won't you feel bored staying alone at home for too long?" This time the person asking the question was Countess Hall.

"Occasionally I will go to play with friends like Greg and Greylint."

Then Countess Hall and Hibbert took turns asking some daily questions, and Hasta answered them truthfully.

They were all daily trivialities, with a bit of gossip.

Hasta was a little uncomfortable at first, but later got used to this way of chatting.

While tasting food, they talked about what they saw and heard in daily life.

If it weren't for the fact that Hall preferred mature and stable young people, Hasta would have been prepared to tell some jokes to liven up the atmosphere.

Audrey, who was a little worried at first, was relieved at this moment and occasionally joined the conversation.

Only Earl Hall tasted the food quietly without speaking.

After a while, Earl Hall got up and left first, and Hasta also put down his knife and fork.

Hibbert smiled and said, "Hasta, don't be so restrained. Our Earl Hall always leaves early to leave space for us young people to communicate."

Countess Hall also stopped eating, but she did not leave the table. She also smiled and said, "You are the guest tonight. Everything is based on your wishes."

"Thank you for your hospitality."

Hasta just finished the food on his plate and stopped eating.

He was not used to letting others wait, which would be very impolite.

After dinner, Hibbert signaled the maid standing by to take the food off the table.

Hibbert invited, "Hasta, do you mind chatting with our Countess Hall?"

"It's my honor."

Hasta got up and followed Hibbert, Countess Hall, and Audrey to the garden behind the villa.

On the second floor, the real audience Susie watched Hasta and others leave, stood up from the ground, shook her body, and followed to the back garden.
