But the moment I stepped into the party hall, two buckets of raw yolks were poured over me.
“What are you doing?!” Robert shouted angrily, glaring at the waiter.
Gloria quickly stepped forward, looking frightened.
“Robert, please don’t be mad. Amelia just came out of prison yesterday. I heard that raw yolks can wash away bad luck. That place isn’t clean … I had a stomachache last night, so I was afraid it might be because of that.”
“I only did this for her sake,” she continued softly.
“Even if people don’t say it out loud, they might still feel uncomfortable. Doing this can help remove bad energy. But don’t worry, I already prepared a new dress for Amelia. It’s a special gift I bought for her.”
After hearing that, Robert’s anger faded.
“Then I’ll take Amelia to change first.”
Gloria held his hand gently.
“Robert, your business partners are here today. If we don’t greet them first, they’ll think we’re being rude.”
He thought for a moment and nodded approvingly.
“Gloria, you’re so considerate.”
Then he turned to me. “Amelia, go change on your own. I’ll wait for you downstairs.”
