The Guest List By Lucy Foley Novels & Stories

“The guest list currently includes two hundred and sixty people.” I stared at her. “Two hundred and sixty?” “Yes.” I looked at Luca. “Do you even like two hundred and sixty people?” He considered the question. “No.” “Then why invite them?” “Politics.” I sighed. “Of course.” The planner pointed to the chart. “The families will sit in the front row.” I leaned forward slightly. “Which family?” Luca glanced at me briefly. “Mine.” I noticed the pause. It was small. But it was there.

" Ariel tried to ask a staff member if there was a guest named Fergus on their guest list. Yet, the person politely refused Ariel's request and told her that they could not divulge any information regarding that. Ariel could fully understand their concerns. Realistically speaking, tonight's event's organizers were the Johnstone family, and Lucas was practically Wendy's fiancé now. With Lucas' relations to the Johnstone family, it would probably be easier for Ariel to get her hands on the guest list through Lucas. Ariel hesitated for a moment. When she considered how critical Leonard's condition was, she slowly made her way back toward the hall. She sent Lucas a WhatsApp message. "Can you mee

I said with a light smile, trying to keep my tone warm yet professional. He nodded toward me and set aside the notebook. "Ella." Without preamble, he leaned forward and reached for a slim, cream-colored folder on the table beside him and slid it across the wood surface toward me. "Here's the guest list," he said matter-of-factly. "It's shorter than what you're used to. Just family and a few close friends. No grand speeches or gala receptions. I want it small and meaningful this time." I took the folder and peeked inside. The list was short, in neat cursive handwriting. A sigh of relief escaped me; it was doable.

Bella stopped mid sentence. “Yes?” “Breathe.” Bella frowned. “I am breathing.” “Not very efficiently.” Bella sighed dramatically and leaned back into the chair. “This is exactly why I don’t tell you things.” “You tell me everything.” “That’s because I’m generous.” Mary smiled faintly. “That’s one word for it.” Her eyes drifted toward the papers scattered across the coffee table. Guest lists. Venue confirmations. She picked up one of the documents. “Two hundred guests.” Bella groaned.

“I came here to make you one.” “You bloody Casanova, leave my guest alone,” Lucy yelled at me. Chloe gave Lucy a gentle tap on the arm. She paused, turning quickly to watch her fiancé and her parents stroll into the room. She dropped quietly to her seat, ready to play the kind and friendly host. Luke Hayes walked to the center of the room. His eyes narrowed on the lady and me, and they darkened with rage. “Why are you so close to Gavin, Eva?” he demanded from the lady. His voice high and thick from rage. He sounded hurt and as if she was his.

Anna said while putting on lipstick with an excited and amused face. Are you sure the DSI staff won't find out we weren't guests?" Lucy asked because she had heard that DSI was stringent in dealing with people who were not invited but arbitrarily sneaked into the party. They will shame such people in front of all the guests. Lucy was sure that if she and Anna were discovered and dealt with like that, Fidelia would stand up for them. And she didn't want Fidelia and Declan's date to go bad just because of this.

But perfection, she knew, was a costume worn to conceal rot. "It’s going to be a long night," Gabriel said, appearing behind her. Lucy didn’t turn. "Will Joana be attending?" He stepped beside her. "She’s on the guest list. She always is. But this year, she’s not the center of it. You are." She met his gaze. "Then we better make sure the spotlight burns."

” Clinton smiled as he swerved and took another route just to be certain they truly lost them. Lucy arrived at Café Solace, and once she entered, she was approached by one of the servers. “Mrs Lucy?” The young man asked. “Yes. How do you know me…” she started to ask but was cut off. “This way, ma’am. Your guest is already waiting.” The server said. But on getting to the booth, no one was there. She looked around the quiet booth. It was in the far corner, with low lights and no cameras. “Smart choice.” She muttered to herself.

Kai pleaded softly but Rowan didn’t respond, and Aiden only sighed as he drove. They finally arrived home and drove into the compound. Rowan stepped out immediately and stormed into the house. He entered the living room and saw Mrs. Hale seated at the decorated dining table. Rowan recognized the familiar decorations; she used to do this when they were in college and came home for the holidays. “Welcome home, Rowan, your seat is here,” Mrs. Hale said warmly. Rowan inhaled deeply before reluctantly taking his seat. The door opened again, revealing Kai and Aiden.
