Rebecca Quentin also pretended not to know, staying by the side of the graceful and noble Mrs. Geoffrey, appearing shy.
In a corner of the hall, Roger Leonard stared at Rebecca Quentin, his mouth slightly open and drooling.
Howard Geoffrey, dressed in a perfectly tailored dark suit, had one hand in his pocket, leaning leisurely against the glass railing, his gaze always looking far into the horizon.
Roger Leonard's initial intention to clink glasses with Howard was halted by Rebecca Quentin's appearance. He stared intently at her, saying to Howard, "Dora, I find that Becca brings me more and more surprises. I once thought of her only as beautiful, never expecting her to be so stunning... The future sister-in-law, who always comes across as pure and lovely, unexpectedly has a different charm with heavy makeup. Dora, if the future sister-in-law wasn't your woman, I would surely beg the queen to grant her to me!"
