Chapter 280 - Negative response... (2/2)

Mr. Lopez smiled and said, ”I'm just checking some files and thought to call you to give you a good news which would make you instantly happy.”

Veronica squealed in joy and asked, ”That's mean your designer had decided to make Lucy's dress?”

”Yes, my princess. Just bring Lucy with you after lunch here.” Mr. Lopez said feeling elated that his daughter would be coming here today evening in his office after so long.

Veronica's face fell when she heard the expectant tone in her father's voice and said in a disappointed voice, ”I'm sorry Dad. I won't be able to come today as I have an important meeting. But I promise to visit you tomorrow as I already cleared my schedule for the next day.”

Though Mr. Lopez felt a little sad but then he smiled and said, ”Its okay princess. I know that it must be important. But you have to surely come tomorrow.”

”Promise Dad and I love you.” Veronica said which made her father laugh loudly...

Lucinda was busy looking after everything in her café as she also had some doc.u.ments to sign for passing some bills when her phone rang and it was her best friend Veronica.

”Hey Niccy..” She greeted excitedly.

”Hi Lucy. Guess what, you are going to wear a designer dress on your engagement day.” Veronica informed her happily.

Lucinda became instantly happy and exclaimed in joy, ”Oh my God! I'm so happy. So are you going to pick me up or I am going to your office?”

Veronica took a deep breath to handle the upcoming storm and muttered in a low voice, ”Actually Lucy.. Some work had come in my way. So I won't be able to accompany you today but Louis and Willa will definitely go with you.”

”What? Are you mad Niccy? How can you do this with me? You promised me to accompany me there..” Lucinda yelled at her.

”I know sweetheart. But it's something important otherwise I would not decline the offer to have a gossipy chat with you. But I promise I'll be there with you tomorrow. Please don't be angry on me anymore.” Veronica pleaded in a childish voice.

Lucinda huffed but said, ”Okay. I'll not be angry on you as work is also important. But tomorrow's plan is fixed okay? No cancellation..”

”Okay promise. And I'll ask Louis and Willa to pick you up from your café before going there.” Veronica said.

”Cool then. I'll be ready.” Lucinda said.

After hanging up the call, Lucinda immediately called Henry and informed him about her visiting Veronica's father's office.

Henry became happy with the news and both of them talked a little before again becoming busy with their own work...
