Chapter 192 - Chapter 192: Uninvited Guests
Caroline already had a premonition when the waiter tripped. She wanted to pull Joline away but the moment her hand touched Joline’s arm, she suddenly stopped.
Joline was already over 60 years old, and she might not be able to withstand her strong pull!
At the moment, there were only two ways. One was for her to reach out and take the tray, including everything on it, in public, but that would seem a little too outstanding.
While she was hesitating, the tray and the champagne glass on it had already flown over.
Caroline didn’t have time to hesitate. She took a step forward and turned around with Joline in her arms. The tray brushed past her back and fell to the ground with a loud clatter, attracting the attention of everyone.
Caroline put Joline on the ground. Joline looked at Caroline in disbelief. “Was I flying just now?”
“I just moved you a little,” Caroline said, amused.
Joline patted her chest and sighed. “It’s been a long time since I’ve been carried, so I’ve forgotten this feeling.”
In an instant, her feet left the ground, and then her field of vision suddenly changed.
Even though Joline thought that she had been through a lot, she still couldn’t help but feel nervous.
As the two of them were whispering to each other, the waiter who had fallen to the ground looked at the mess on the ground and the guests in the hall who were either shocked or watching a good show. His face turned pale. He stood up and wanted to clean up the mess on the ground, but the head waiter came out to clean up the mess before him.
The waiter rubbed his hands and wanted to help, but he was stopped by the head waiter with a look. He had to leave the banquet hall embarrassedly.
The man frowned slightly when he saw this, but he didn’t say anything.
“Oh my god, this is really scary. How can they allow such a clumsy waiter to work in the inner field? What if they accidentally hit the guest?” The lady who had asked Joline just now patted her chest and complained in a low voice. After complaining, she looked at Joline and said sourly, “You’re lucky to have found a good daughter-in-law. She could even help you avoid that.”
Joline was also very proud of this. “Yes, if Caroline didn’t help me, I’m afraid I would have been embarrassed today.” As she spoke, she patted Caroline’s back.
“Hey, why is it wet?”
Caroline turned her hand to touch it. There was indeed a small wet spot on her back. “Maybe the champagne on the tray spilled a little, so it got on.”
If it was any other time, Caroline would have ignored the wet spot. However, this was a dinner party. She was afraid that the champagne stain would leave a mark on her clothes after it dried. That would be too ugly. After all, she had to attend the charity auction later.
“I’ll go clean up, excuse me,” Caroline said.
Joline nodded. “Do you need any help?”
Caroline thought about how she could reach the position with her hand. “I don’t think so. I’ll be fine after I tidy up a little.”
Under the guidance of the waiter, Caroline came to the bathroom. She stayed in there for about ten minutes before she finally cleaned up the stains.
When she came out of the bathroom, she realized that the waiter who led the way for her was gone. Just as Caroline was about to leave, a figure suddenly appeared at the corner of the stairs. It was the waiter who messed up the matter earlier.
“Hello, guest, do you need any help?”
Caroline glanced at him. “I want to go back to the banquet hall.”
“Please follow me,” the waiter said respectfully.
He walked down the long corridor with Caroline.
“Will it affect your work?” Caroline asked curiously.
“I just received a notice from my supervisor,” the waiter said with a bitter smile. “I have to get out of here after tonight’s work.”
Caroline could only comfort him. “After all, it was an accident. You made a mistake at an important event. I think the supervisor will be punished too. That’s why his attitude is so bad. You don’t need to take it to heart.”
The waiter lowered his head and said, “I understand. I just feel a little depressed.”
Caroline was not good at comforting people, so the two of them fell silent.
At the end of the corridor, the waiter extended his right hand. “Please turn right. ”
Caroline nodded in agreement. At a place where the waiter couldn’t see, she glanced at the long corridor behind her from the corner of her eye. Then, she followed the waiter and slowly walked forward..
