Chapter 978: Introducing Celebrities
This red dress is sleeveless and low-necked, which perfectly highlights Maria's sexy collarbone and her cool floral arms. Liu suddenly remembered that she didn't know where Maria's new tattoo was. There were no Chinese characters on her exposed arms and collarbones.
When she was looking for a tattoo, Maria took the initiative to open her arms and hug her.
"Welcome, Man."
When Liu? touched the soft body of the woman, the warm smell of perfume came to her nose. Fortunately, she had her Western girlfriend Lina in front of her. She was used to Lina's hugging gesture, so she also raised her hands and hugged Maria.
Although the hug was short, Maria showed her closeness to Liu? in her actions, which was seen by the guests around. There were so many guests at the scene, not everyone was qualified to be greeted and welcomed by Maria in person.
Obviously, Maria attaches great importance to this Asian girl. Everyone is even more curious about her identity.
Liu prepared two birthday gifts for Maria. When she was buying clothes yesterday, she also bought a rose gold necklace from a luxury brand, which cost her $5,000. She was worried that Maria would find the gift too shabby, so she wrote a piece of calligraphy today and rolled it into a scroll and brought it over.
"Happy birthday to you," Liu handed the necklace and the paper scroll to Maria at the same time. Maria was stunned for a moment, but the next second she smiled and took the gift with both hands, "Thank you."
Liu? realized that she seemed to have done something wrong because she heard sneering sounds around her. She then realized that everyone else's hands were empty, and at most they held a handbag. No one brought a gift into the venue like she did.
...
...
Her gift was not out of place. The box containing the necklace was very small. She put it in her handbag and it didn't even bulge. The paper roll was thin and not very wide. When held in her hand, it looked like a small white cane. Others couldn't tell what it was.
The guests were well-off and would not have come empty-handed. In fact, everyone attending the party had prepared birthday presents. Some of them sent someone to deliver the presents to Maria's home one day in advance - this usually happened when the gifts were large in number, heavy, or large in size; some people, like Liu?, brought their gifts to the scene. At the entrance of the venue, there stood several Miller family staff members who were responsible for guiding the guests to put the gifts in the designated rooms and register them. They might have missed Liu?, or perhaps they thought her paper scroll was cheap and didn't look like a gift.
With so many people, the gifts could pile up into a mountain. If Maria accepted them one by one, she would spend all her time tonight on this. Wouldn't the banquet become a place to collect packages? For Maria, gifts played a symbolic role. She didn't expect others to give her anything. To put it bluntly, even if Liu? didn't bring any gifts, she wouldn't know. Registration was just a formality.
However, she developed a strong interest in one of Liu?'s gifts - a paper scroll. The texture of the rice paper in her hand made her guess, as she had seen Liu? write with her own eyes, that the paper scroll contained Liu?'s calligraphy works, and she couldn't wait to open it and take a look.
But now is not a good time, there are too many people and art needs a quiet environment to appreciate.
"Thank you for the gift," Maria thanked him again, gesturing to a waiter who came over with a tray of wine. She picked up one of the glasses and said, "Come on, let's have a drink!"
Maria said this because she noticed the whiskey in Liu's hand. She didn't expect that Liu looked frail and elegant, but she was a fellow drinker - she liked strong liquor! It was rare to meet a girl who was so into her taste. She felt that she liked her more and more!
Do you still want to drink this wine?!
Liu hesitated. The spicy taste remained in her throat, bitter, icy, and with a strange, indescribable taste. She didn't want to take a second sip, but Maria took the initiative to invite her, and she was so warm and friendly, she had to drink it for both moral and practical reasons!
"Okay," Liu? took a risk-taking attitude, raised his glass, gestured to Maria, and they both took a sip at the same time.
After drinking the alcohol, Maria hugged Liu again generously and kissed her cheek gently, "I like you, dear."
The guests started talking louder. Several wealthy girls who were about the same age as Maria and had a good relationship with her came over and asked Maria, "Maria, is this your new friend? Won't you introduce her to us?"
"A new Asian? From which family?"
"It's so rare. I've never seen you have any Asian friends."
