Chapter 256 - New relations on the way... (1/2)
Sip and Drip…
Friday morning...
”I have to go back home early in the evening today. You guys have to manage everything in my absence.” Lucinda said to her employees.
The employees nodded and said, ”Okay ma'am.”
Lucinda went upstairs to her private room and took a comic book to read when suddenly her phone rang and it was none other than her best friend Veronica.
”Hey Niccy..” Lucinda greeted.
”Yo my bestie... Seems like from the day you became the girlfriend of Mr. Henry Johnson, you completely forgot about me.” Veronica feinged a weeping noise...
Lucinda smiled at her best friend's trick and played along with her, ”What can I do when my boyfriend is extremely handsome.!”
At this comment, both of the girls laughed out loud..
Veronica was the first one to stop laughing and said, ”Okay... Let me come to the straight point. As you asked for shopping tomorrow, I informed both Willa and Myra about it though I hate shopping. And to your good luck, they had agreed.”
Lucinda shrieked in excitement and said, ”Oh.. I'm so happy because of this. Finally after so many days or more like a month, I'm going for shopping.”
Chuckling at her, Veronica said, ”Yes.. Our shopping goddess is really excited for tomorrow. By the way, what's your plan today?”
”Uhm.. Nothing much. Mom and Dad told me to get ready tonight as some guest will come for dinner. So I'll be leaving for home early.” Lucinda informed her.
Veronica just nodded and said, ”Okay. Let's see each other tomorrow then.”
”Yep.. Bye. This shopping goddess also has to make a big list for tomorrow.” Lucinda grinned.
Shaking her head, Veronica hung up the call and instead called her cutie boyfriend..

”Sir this is the final output of the invitation card. How is this?” Tom asked as he handed the card to Reuben.
Reuben gently took the card in his hand and he became very happy after seeing the designs and calligraphy as he praised, ”It's really good Tom...just like what I expected..”
Tom smiled and said, ”I already booked few florists who will delivered our future lady boss's favorite flowers.”
”That's good. You may leave now. If I need anything I'll call you back.” Reuben said.
As soon as Tom left Reuben's office cabin, his phone buzzed and just by seeing the caller ID, his face bloomed into a big smile.
”Hey babe.” Reuben said.
Veronica also smiled and said, ”Hi honey. What are you doing?”
Reuben fiddled with the invitation card and said, ”Nothing... Just looking through some files. What about you?”
”Ah.. Nothing much. Just talked with Lucy and then called you.” Veronica replied.
”Oh... Henry also called me today morning, saying that he had to go somewhere tonight with his family but they had not told him exactly where they'll be going...
