Chapter 221

The ribbon-cutting ceremony on stage kicked off in a flash when Brandon snipped through the ribbon, and the place erupted with applause and cheers louder than thunder.

After Zachary and Alex gave their brief thank-yous, the ceremony finally started winding down. Brandon headed back to the head table with Zachary and crew, and they all dove into the feast amid a chorus of congratulations.

Once Zachary and Alex's fam did the rounds, thanking everyone and exchanging pleasantries, they finally got to park their butts back at the main table and dig into some grub.

As the meal went on, the thick air of business back-patting gradually turned into a free-for-all of casual chit-chat.

Zachary was in high spirits today, knocking back a few too many shots of whisky. Jolin, worried about his health, urged him to take it easy on the booze, but no dice - she ended up so ticked off; she just snatched the cup right out of his hand.

Zachary just chuckled and let her do her thing, "See, this is the downside of getting hitched - zero freedom to booze it up. You young guns have it made, single and no one to answer to, total freedom."

Then, he switched gears, "But hey, when the right one comes along, you still gotta tie the knot." He started grilling the others, "Don, you hitched yet?"

Don, called out, quickly grinned back, "Nope, swamped with work, no time for that."

Zachary laughed, "You're just like Brandon, always using work as an excuse."

Then, he turned to Ivan, "What about you? Got a special someone? You aren't getting any younger."
