Chapter 252 - Unreasonable... (1/2)

Smith Enterprise…

Tom entered in a hurry in Reuben's office and said, ”Boss, I've prepared the thing you have told me to. Now, you just have to choose the design of the invitation card and we'll then proceed with it.”

Reuben looked at the five designs which had been shortlisted by Tom but none of them peaked his interest as if there was something missing in them.

When suddenly an awesome idea clicked in his mind, ”Tom, do one thing. Combined the designs of these two cards together but changed the colour pattern from peac.o.c.k blue to prusian blue and replace the white with cream colour.”

Tom took the two cards that Reuben handed him and he was impressed with the idea. If he made the card as per Reuben's suggestion, then he was sure it'd look very much unique and extra beautiful...

With a smile on his face, Tom said, ”Sure Boss. It's a really good idea.”

Reuben smiled back and said, ”Don't forget to decorate the whole place with Ica's favourite flowers.”

”Okay sir.” Tom said before leaving his office for the further work.

After Tom left, Reuben called someone and a sweet voice of a middle aged woman resonated in his air.

”Yes, son.” Mrs. Lopez said.

”Mom, I've something to tell both you and dad. I'll also call my parents for it. But don't inform it to Ica as we have to keep it a secret.” Reuben said.

Mrs. Lopez furrowed both of her eyebrows in confusion and asked, ”But why son? Why do we have to keep it a secret?”

”Mom, I'll tell you everything later. But at first, I need to inform my parents too.” Reuben said.

”Okay. No problem. Then do one thing, come tonight at our home for dinner along with your parents.” Mrs. Lopez gave him a good suggestion.

But Reuben denied the idea, ”That'll be great mom. But I can't meet you today because Ica will definitely doubt me if I do so Why don't we do one thing??

Ica will be out with her friends this Saturday morning and will not be back home till late afternoon.

So let's meet on Saturday at your place. I'll bring my parents with me too. You please inform Dad about our plan and tell him to keep it as a secret also.”

Mrs. Lopez smiled knowing that something is cooking in his future son-in-law's head as she said, ”Okay. Planning final then.”

Reuben chuckled and said, ”Bye Mom. Talk to you later.”

After that, he called his own mother and shouted, ”Mooooooommmmmmm…”

Mrs. Smith almost dropped the phone from her hand when she heard the shrilling voice of her son...

”Yaaaaa.. Are you planning to make your mom deaf in this early age?” Mrs. Smith shouted back.

”Sorry Mom. Actually...I've a great news to tell you. Please meet me at Lopez mansion, this Saturday morning with dad. And keep it a secret specially from your future daughter-in-law.” Reuben said.

”Wait...wait...wait... Why I'm feeling like you're planning something big?” Mrs. Smith said with raised eyebrows.

Reuben chuckled and said with a same teasing voice, ”Because I'm indeed planning something big.”

”Ah.. Now I'm getting excited. Tell me what's the surprise.” Mrs. Smith said excitedly.

”Mom... You yourself said that it's a surprise then how can I reveal it now. Wait for few days. You'll come to know about it soon.” Reuben was not at all ready to reveal anything.
