The Guest List By Lucy Foley Novels & Stories

Lucas leaned against the middle of the huge sofa, taking the whisky poured by Jenn, taking a sip as if he were brewing his emotions before going on stage. Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and a group of women of the same age as Fiona surrounded Fiona and walked in, transforming the previously silent grand room into a bustling market. For a moment, Lucas even doubted if he had gone deaf. Jenn kept calm on the surface, but inside, she was secretly surprised. She hadn't expected Fiona to invite all female guests tonight. Lucas stood awkwardly but still walked up to Fiona.

God, not even I can miss it. “See her?” Frankie says, nodding to the evening hostess who came in about an hour ago and is standing at a podium by the door – another gorgeous young woman, all smiles and friendly greetings to each guest. She knows everyone by name the moment they walk in the door. “That’s Lucy, Christian’s youngest brother’s girlfriend.” “Really?” I ask, my eyes going wide as I look over at her. “Well, then what the hell is she doing here? I didn’t think mob girls worked.”

I knew it must have been extremely hard for her not to mention it at all. “It’s fine,” I said, “it’s not like I can avoid it this week, so you might as well talk about it. It’s not like ignoring it is going to make it go away.” Lyla looked like she wanted to squeal with joy at being finally given the green light. Mark just let out a huge sigh. I think secretly, he’d been enjoying the radio silence himself. “I’ve heard that there are going to be 600 guests,” Lyla said excitedly.

He chuckles and begins thrusting once again, giving me one last load before we leave our little love nest. "I need the guest list, guys!" I'm sitting at the breakfast table, sucking on a pen as I review the Union Ceremony list. As of right now, I have a few of my old co-workers from the Diner, and that's all for guests. I've been waiting for their guest lists since we left the playroom two days ago. "I made mine," Jory states as he takes out his phone, "I'll send them to you right now, sweetness." "Thank you, Jory." I lift my brow at Knox and then at Merrick, "What about you two?"

“What do you mean? How do you know? This is a wedding, so she is obviously a wedding guest.” “Landon, for fuck’s sake…stop thinking with your dick for once and think with your head. This is Lucas and Amy’s wedding reception, and the guest list was small and exclusive since we couldn’t afford to have an enemy slipping inside. I have checked the guest list thoroughly and made sure to either meet or look at a picture of Amy’s relatives, and we know all of our guests,” Tiffany said irritably. Lucas shrugged. “So?” “So…she was not on the list. I have a sharp memory. I’d sure as hell remember seeing a picture of a girl like that,” Tiffany waved her hand. “Now go find out who that girl is, Landon.”

She was stressing about the dinner but Lucas would call her from time to time to reassure her that everything was going to be okay The dinner was held the white house, and the guest list was short, Jessica’s parents made it but her sister and Jimmy didn’t come, Jessica had Lilly by her side and insisted that Annabelle and Ada were invited and also a girl named June who was one of her friends at the agency where she used to work While Lucas had Jack, his best man and brother along with few of his friends Everything was set in place, Lucas and all were gathered and waiting for Jessica to make her appearance

“I literally just got here.” “I know. That’s why you need to listen now before the day eats us alive.” Behind her, Stacy spun her chair around, hair bouncing. “Tell her, Elena. She’s going to implode.” Elena inhaled. “The guest list has been released.” I frowned. “For what?” They stared at me like I’d asked what oxygen was. “The gala!” they said in unison. Oh, right about that. Elena leaned closer. “Ava. Sweet, innocent Ava. You will not believe the names.”

“Joshua, Lucy! It’s wonderful to see you.” “Thank you for having us,” Joshua said, shaking her hand. “We’re excited to be here.” Annabelle’s mother ushered them inside. “Come in, come in. I’ve prepared some refreshments. Annabelle will join us shortly.” “That sounds lovely,” Lucy said as they entered the elegant foyer. They were soon seated in the living room, and Annabelle’s mother brought out refreshments. The conversation turned to wedding plans. “So, have you settled the guest list?” Lucy asked as she sipped her drink.

Once she had left, Finn remarked, "I'll get the laptop fixed as soon as possible, Mr. Ripley." "Alright." At the door, Anna eavesdropped on their conversation. Her heart was pounding from the anxiety. She could not allow Tobias to see the information about Lucy's family. She needed to act quickly! As such, she went to a secluded corner and made a phone call. "Oliver, could you do me another favor? I can give you a generous reward…" At the banquet, Lucy was dressed modestly because she didn't want to draw attention. There was not a single man at the entire banquet. Only women could be seen drinking and dancing, creating a lively atmosphere.

Getting the Grand Ballroom on such short notice had required calling in several favors, but it would be worth it. "Guest list?" "Confirmed. Fifty people, including her colleagues from The Daily Buzz, her college friends we managed to track down, and a few surprises." I'd had my assistant reach out to people from Lexi's past, wanting to surround her with everyone who cared about her. It hadn't been easy, Lexi was private, and she didn't talk much about her background. But I'd managed to find her college roommate, a few former colleagues, even a high school friend who now lived in Boston.
