The Guest List By Lucy Foley Mga Nobela at Kwento

They arranged the guest list, selected the food for the buffet, and even offered to cover part of the expenses. To all of our longtime friends and extended relatives, Paul introduced himself as the father of the Shepherd family's oldest grandson. On the day of the party, the guests filled the warmly decorated ballroom at the hotel. I showed up with Logan in my arms and received friendly well-wishes from everyone. Lucy was also in attendance, wearing a formal gown as she walked around holding Paul's arm. Although she had a smile on her face, it didn't hide the mix of anxiety and anticipation in her eyes.

I said pushing her towards her bedroom. A few minutes later, Grace came back with a piece of paper with the list "I only know ten of my friends there, the rest were invited by Lucas and the event planner, good luck on finding your mystery woman" she teased with a giggle and rushed off to the breakfast room before I scolded her. Once Grace was gone, I turned my focus to the piece of paper and went through the guest list which had the numbers and addresses of the Guests, It would be a long process if I called each of the women one by one so I got my phone and called my colleague and best friend Adam

Audrey called again, then she reached out and touched her shoulders. Laura went rigid as she turned to look at Audrey. "Did you say something?" "Yes, I called you, but you weren't answering," Audrey replied as she drew her hands away. "Oh, sorry, what did you say?" Laura asked. "I got a list of the guests for tonight; Lily says it's to help you prepare for tonight." Audrey explained, handing over the tab to Laura. Laura took the tab; she thought it was not really necessary, but at the same time, it wouldn't be bad to know who she was meeting. After the way Gift just treated her, it won't be bad to go through the list.

Lucy nodded and then relaxed on the chair to listen to her, the smile was gone now and replaced with intrigue. "We have seen the hall you requested." She started. "It's a very big one. I've also spoken to the decorators, it won't be a big responsibility for them." "Good." Lucy said. "How many guests are we looking at?" She asked, looking at us. "It's an important event." Lucy replied, making the face of someone who was thinking. "A lot of business owners will be there. Let's make it two hundred guests." Two hundred? I turned to look at Lucy.

"Theodore, you tell me to watch over things and that some important guest is coming, but I don’t even know if that guest is a man or woman. Shouldn't you at least give me some information about them? "I don’t want to get flustered and embarrass myself in front of someone I’m meeting for the first time.” Lucy had a point, but Theodore seemed evasive and uninterested in the matter like he was only here because Juliana asked him to. Lucy had a hunch about who the guest was. While chatting with Theodore, the sound of car engines was heard from outside.

The blanket on it was stained with some mysterious liquid. "One of my friends is coming to see me tomorrow, and I'm letting him stay over. He's a guest, so he needs the guest room. You can just crash out here for the night." She pointed out the window. "You're always going on about flowers and the moon, right? The view's great from here—you can enjoy the night scenery." I stared at her, watching this woman act like she owned the place. I was so floored I didn't even know what to say. Since when did I not even get to sleep in my own bed?

“It is, and she’s the star tonight.” Lucy laughs and hides her face in his shoulder for a second before peeking out again. People around us say how cute she is. I smile and lean into Vincent, looking like the perfect family. But inside, my mind is racing. This isn’t just a night out. It’s a message – especially if David is here. I saw his name on the guest list earlier and didn’t tell Vincent. We go inside. The ballroom is full of gowns and tuxedos. Chandeliers give off a warm light. Waiters carry champagne, and a string quartet plays softly. Lucy’s eyes get big as she takes it all in.

I took a shower and lied on the bed with my bathrobe feeling all sad. "Why are you not ready?" Lucy asked the moment she slammed the door open. "Can't you knock? What if Stefan and I were having s*x?" I scolded her and she lifted her hands up in defence mode. "Please I am not in the mood of your scoldings.The guests have already arrived and you are not ready." She rolled her eyes. "I don't wanna go." I cried out. "Are you for real? This party is all about you.Fatima, Carlos, Jennifer and Lucas are taking care of the guests and everyone is waiting for the best fashion designer in the country." Ella said blissfully.

I also need to instruct the maids on what to cook for the party. Swiftly, I walk in, making for the lounge where I can find Natty, the head maid, and instruct her on what to prepare. Lucia appears suddenly. “Welcome ma'am.” I don't stop walking as I reply. “Thank you.” “Ma'am?” She calls back when I walk past her. I halt quickly, realizing I didn't ask about my daughter. “What is it, Lucia? Did something happen while I was away?” “No, ma'am, but you have a guest,” she reveals slowly, fear in her eyes.

Who in this world could understand Lucy’s suffering? Lucy searched for any sign of Mason from among the crowd of guests. She saw him sitting next to Queenie Lane, and she bit hard on her lip. That position was supposed to belong to her. After Wanda’s gift had garnered enough positive attention for Eva and all of the guests began discussing her dowry, Raven and Tyler prepared to leave as their work was done. However, Nathan clapped his hands lightly, and Finn appeared with several bodyguards. They blocked Raven and Tyler’s way and stared ferociously at them.
