Chapter 14 Cruise Ship Engagement

Today, the engagement ceremony of Sevier Black, a talented oil painting genius who has been widely publicized by various media for nearly a month, finally kicked off under the watchful eye.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, the double-decker luxury cruise ship "Sweet Roman", chartered by Demos and named by him, docked at the port of PIRAEUS on time.

Accompanied by the relaxed melody played by the violin of the band on the cruise ship, the prospective couple of Demos and Carette boarded the terrace on the second floor of the cruise ship, and joined hands with the guests and friends who came one after another, and the media reporters met them one by one.

Triton also returned on time.

According to the arrangement, he will attend the ceremony venue as the family member of the woman Karete to bring blessings to the prospective couple, so it is naturally impossible to be late.

There is still half an hour left for the cruise to depart.

As Demos and Carette greeted their guests, Noah, the attendant, hurried to Demos and whispered a few words in his ear.

Demos looked startled, turned his head and whispered to Carrete:

"Karete, we need to go to the first floor ......"

"What's wrong?"

"Just take a look, something seems to have gone wrong. ”

As they spoke, they had descended the stairs to the first floor, and at the entrance to the cabin, they saw a group of security guards gathered around. In the midst of their noisy noise, there was a female voice that was not unfamiliar to Demos.

"What's going on?"

Demos walked over and asked the security guards sent by the wedding company, while staring intently at the bright red figure surrounded by a group of men in black.

Sure enough, it was her! Goddess of Blood, Kaliβ€”

"I'm sorry sir, but this lady insisted on getting on board without an invitation. A security guard replied.

"No problem, she's my family, maybe I accidentally missed the invitation. Hurry up and get her on board. ”

When Demos had finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Kali in the midst of the crowd, and greeted her with a grateful smile:

"Sister, it's such an honor for you to attend the ceremony. ”

Dressed in a red low-cut slim-fitting dress, Cali approached in thin black seven-inch heels and stopped in front of Demos.

Today, she has put on a little light makeup on one of her faces, and she looks much better than when she was sick.

"The man in Greece's tenth richest list is engaged today, how can I be missing?"

Cali straightened his chest from the surging trench again, stared at Demos's yin and yang weirdness, and gave him a bright but cold smile.

With one side of her head, she looked at Kareta beside him again, and the other party's gaze immediately caused a wave of unease.

"Congratulations, Karete. ”

Cali finished his blessing to her in a stiff tone, and stuffed the goodie bag he was carrying into her arms.

"Uh... Thank you ......."

Carette was somewhat embarrassed.

She was perfectly able to sense from Cali's series of hard-nosed performances that she wasn't very friendly to herself.

Not long ago, she almost died under her axe, and this time the engagement ceremony Demos didn't want to invite her to participate, but she ran over without a sound.

However, they all came, and they couldn't drive her away. And, it seems, Demos seemed to be delighted with her arrival.

Out of politeness, Karete quickly exchanged thoughts for a few seconds, and with a festive smile on her face, she led Cali to the second-floor terrace.

At half past ten o'clock local time, the "Sweet Roman" officially set sail for Santorini after a half-minute whistle.

Twenty minutes after the cruise ship "Sweet Roman" entered the voyage, the engagement ceremony on the terrace on the second floor officially began.

The emcee announced a speech with the live accompaniment of the band, guiding the prospective couple of Demos and Carette to exchange rings with each other and were invited by reporters to take a group photo.

After a series of procedures, it is time for the free drinking party of the celebration.

On deck, invited attendees enjoy a meal or a view of the sea.

On the other side, three or five people gathered around and chatted in a low voice.

"That Blake kid has really made a fortune in recent years, just an engagement party will be like this, don't move an airship to go around the sky when you really get married!"

In the small talk, as soon as a man finished speaking to the other people with an envious expression, another man immediately chimed in:

"Yes, but it's worth it! You just saw the bride-to-be, haven't you? I've never met such a charming woman, and her two calves that show off the outside of her skirt are really smooth and sexy......"

"Hey, you're not done!"

There was a woman with long hair and a green shirt standing in this group, because she was too lazy to listen to the greedy voice of the lewd man beside her, so she simply interrupted him sharply without waiting for him to finish speaking, and said to them with a red face:

"What's the big deal, Blake is just a man who has some money and is generous, and he is willing to throw more tickets at that stunner! I think the bride-to-be has peach blossom eyes, and it must not be a fuel-efficient lamp!"

"Huh, why does it sound sour?"

The man who had just been cut off from his speech stretched out his head towards her, and quipped with a wicked smile:

"You're not jealous, are you?

The woman immediately blushed and retorted angrily:

"What are you talking about, I'm a journalist and a woman, and a woman's sixth sense is the most accurate. The Lachio family is a big Swiss surname, and when I asked the bride, she said she was Greek. And on such an important day today, her mother's family has a child, don't you think this bride-to-be is very problematic!"

"Oh, it's terrible for women to be jealous......"

"It's ......"

After listening to the sworn speech of the woman in the green shirt, several men looked at each other, and none of them agreed.

"You... Wait and see, I'll find the proof!"

The woman's face darkened, and she gritted her teeth even more.

"Let's go, let's go over there and see ......"

The chattering crowd gradually dispersed, leaving the paranoid female reporter in place. She looked forward to it, and finally went to the restaurant and bar to taste wine.

With champagne in hand, Demos and Carette circled the audience during the reception, greeting the guests one by one and then resting in a corner of the deck.

"Today's scene is really lively, and there are so many people here......"

Carette looked at the happy people, and said to Demos beside her with emotion: "Thank you for everything you have done for me......"

"I promised you that I would definitely give you the most grand ceremony. ”

With a sense of accomplishment, Demos leaned against the guardrail wrapped in crimson velvet. He looked at Carret's feet in white heels and asked her with concern:

"You're tired after standing for so long, aren't you?"

"It's okay......," she replied immediately.

"Let's sit down and take some time to eat. In the afternoon, after the boat arrives in Santorini, we will have a speech and then lead the dance...... Nervous?"

"Sort of... It's been a long time since I've danced in public......"

Being stared at by Demos for a long time, Carette became more and more shy, and finished with an embarrassed smile, lowering her gaze slightly.

Demos smiled as well, and reached for one side of her sideburns, five fingertips softly caressing the long strand of hair that hung there.

"Don't be afraid, I'll always take you with you when you lead the dance. ”

Carreta looked up again in the soft encouragement of Demos's tone, her bright blue eyes focused on his features.

I'll always take you with me-

For some reason, Carette's heart was moved at this moment, just for Demos's casual words.

This kind of emotion is like the petals flying in the wind gently falling on the heart lake in the distance of her body, slowly rippling the water ripples, turning into happiness and happiness in a circle, but also mixed with a little sad emotion, leaving a slightly painful scratch when it slowly dissipates in the deepest part of her heart.

It was only now that Carreta truly realized that the only man who could give her such a sense of trust and security was Demos. As long as he is around, she can rest assured and can have no worries.

"Demos ......"

"Huh?"

He answered her call, and as he stared at each other, he saw that her eyes were shining with an undying light.

And the brilliance was so clear, so dazzling, that he had never seen it.

"Demos... Feel relieved... I'm going to keep it going too... Follow you......"

Kareta spoke to him with great emotion, her nose aching and almost crying. Although her voice was already tortuous, she still insisted on spitting out the whole sentence intermittently.

Demos looked stunned, as smart as he was, how could he not understand the specific meaning of her words.

He felt that the emotion that had been stored in Carette's heart for a long time had always been like a seed wrapped in a thick skin, and it had finally broken through the ground at this moment under his careful care and long-term care.

He was infected by her true feelings, and for a moment he looked at each other quietly, and he put his arms around her, and his head gradually lowered to her......

"Blake!"

An uninvited sound cut off the two figures who were about to kiss each other. Demos let go of Carette and looked sideways.

A few feet away stood a middle-aged man in his forties, of medium stature, with a slender build, and short curly brown hair. may be the reason for overuse of the brain, he is already bald at this age.

"Professor Eugene, it's a great honor for me and Kareta to take a break from your busy schedule, and I'm here to introduce ......"

After politely greeting the visitor, Demos was about to introduce him to Carette at his side, when he interrupted him.

"Not necessarily. I think the bride-to-be and I should know each other. My man, Horns Eugene, had heard of Miss Lachio's name for a long time. Before we met, a young man mentioned you to me, a Chinese and my student. ”

Kareta looked startled.

The professor's self-introduction was clearly hinted, how could Carreta not know that the Chinese student he mentioned was naturally Jose!

"Meet you...... It's an honor. ”

Her expression became stiff, her expression was extremely unnatural, and she closed her mouth after saying hello to the other party.

The unconvinced middle-aged man in front of Carette was Jose's academic mentor, the one who had invited her to join JosΓ© at his home not long ago, but she had unexpectedly failed the appointment.

"It's good to be young, bless you!"

The professor smiled slyly, and then raised the wine glass in her right hand to Carette.
