Chapter 741

At 8 p.m., Sandra's birthday bash was the talk of the town and kicked off as expected.

Marguerite had never seen such a grand party in her life.

The vast ballroom was packed to the rafters, all there to celebrate Sandra's birthday.

Feeling a bit claustrophobic, Marguerite decided to stand on the fringes with Frederick, away from the thick of the crowd.

At that moment, the mayor, surrounded by attendees, took the stage to speak.

Though every country has its own way of doing things, it seems a speech from a leader at significant events is a universal custom.

Soon enough, the mayor was in the middle of the ballroom, microphone in hand, speaking passionately.

He wasn't speaking in the local slang or English, so Marguerite couldn't understand a word.

But the mayor's delivery was quite entertaining, rapid-fire and engaging, like a stand-up comedian, causing waves of laughter through the crowd.

Despite being socially anxious, Marguerite's curiosity wasn't dampened in the slightest.

She tiptoed, trying to get a better look into the crowd, amusing Frederick who stood beside her sipping champagne.

Marguerite didn't turn, "Trying to see the mayor, of course!"
