Jayden and Halynn were having dinner with both of their families as they discussed their wedding arrangements. “Looks like we have everything in order. All of our guests have confirmed that they will attend.” Halynn’s mother said. “Yes. Thank goodness. Oh! Before I forget.. I think it’s best not to include some of the bridesmaids. Perhaps they could come as guests instead.” Jayden’s mother said. Halynn’s brows shot up. “Umm–may I ask why?” For the first time, Jayden’s mother looked at Halynn pointedly. “Well–since you asked, then I would say it now. Some of your friends are not ideal.” Apart from Halynn’s friends, there’s only some of her cousins who were also part of her entourage. “Not ideal?” “Yes. And I would advise that you stop seeing

 At The Waterfront Well restaurant, four event halls were opened and connected together to accommodate the Great 7 families for their Christmas ball. What was once a small gathering between Lucas and his close friends, was now extended to the family members. Especially now that some of them already have girlfriends and fiancees. So eventually, it was made into a grand celebration. From the elders to the very young ones, they were all invited. Although the four event halls were all connected, the first event hall was where the elders mostly sat. This included those in the second generation, Lucas’s parents and those in their age group. The second event hall was for the third generation. This is where Lucas, Diana and most of their friends sat. There were also members of the Great 7 families that Diana had never met before and was now only introduced or pointed out to her. 

At the table where Lucas and those of his generation, along with their partners are present, Armie Lee sat next to Felix Cavalier. The two had become closer ever since Armie started working at House of Florence, owned by the grandmother of Felix Cavalier. It is on special occasions when Felix would show up to the company. Since he had already known her from that time at the yacht with Diana and the others, he didn’t treat Armie like a stranger. Armie’s colleagues would tease her every time Felix would look their way, saying that he was looking at Armie. They would tease her all the more whenever he would walk towards them and greet Armie first before the others. Though Felix was her boss’s grandson and that he would sometimes show up during events, no one could say that Armie was flirting with a superior. Though he is still part of the company by helping with the business aspect of

“Miss Turner.” Emma spoke. Stanley gave his handkerchief to Veronica who took it and dabbed her cheeks. “Aunt–” She whimpered, looking pitiful. Emma’s teeth suddenly felt sensitive. Her eyes twitched as she looked at the young woman. ‘How did I not see this before? She reminds me of Tuesday.’ Back then, Tuesday Palmer had looked this pitiful as well when she tried to cling to Morris. “I’m glad to hear that you have come to understand it now and have already moved on.” Emma smiled warmly. Veronica smiled in relief. “Ah.. Lucas, these bags are getting too heavy for me. Could you take these to the car first?” Emma suddenly turned to Lucas and handed her the handbag and a gift bag. “Sure. Then I’ll go first.&rdqu

Heather relaxed in her bath tub as she listened to her playlist of soothing music. She had on a face mask to moisturize and make her skin glow. With her busy schedule, it’s quite rare for her to be able to take her time in the bathroom and just enjoy her bath. Since she was already off for three days beginning today, she decided to pamper herself a little. She closed her eyes as she felt her muscles loosen. Ten minutes later, her phone’s alarm snapped her out of her daze. She was already beginning to fall asleep in the water, if not for the alarm, she would have ended up sinking inside the bathtub. She craned her neck, moving it side to side. She then got out of the bathtub and stepped into the shower to rinse off. She didn’t need to wash her hair again since she had already done it when she was preparing for the party.
