Chapter 299 - Jokers hilarious acts... (1/2)

Veronica heard a exasperated sigh from Lucinda before she said, ”Dad had invited Cole Parker to my engagement party..”

”What?? Are you serious?” Veronica asked, being irked with the sudden revelation.

Reuben again turned his face towards Veronica mouthing to her, 'What happened?'

Veronica read his lips and mouthed back, 'I will tell you later.'

Nodding his head at her, Reuben busied himself in his phone again while Veronica became confused about few things.

”Yes. I'm deadly serious. Why would I joke about a man whom I don't even know or more like I hate?” Lucinda asked.

Sighing at the news, Veronica said, ”Yeah.. That's also right. But the question is why did Uncle suddenly invite Cole Parker in your engagement party? Most importantly, how did they get to know each other?”

Lucinda heard the question and immediately replied, ”Dad visited uncle Lopez today at his office and at the same moment Cole had arrived with a proposal idea regarding the fashion showroom and it seemed to be a great idea..

Both Dad and Uncle got very much impressed by him and as a result, uncle accepted the proposal and my Dad invited him to the party.”

”Hmmm…. So this is what had happened. If both of our fathers were really impressed by him, that's mean Cole is indeed a good communicator and businessman.” Veronica said.

”Seems like so... But the problem is how Myra would feel in the presence of Cole. Oh! I forgot to tell you one more thing. Dad even invited that Alonzo also. I don't know what suddenly happened to Dad that he is choosing all the wrong guys…

Thankfully, I already have a boyfriend who is soon going to be my fiance, my Henry. Otherwise, I don't know if Dad would bring another stupid guy as a candidate of my future husband.” Lucinda joked in between her serious talks.

*Hahaha*

As Lucinda half joked, Veronica busted in laughter on the other side. She never imagined that Lucinda would pick out such kind of topic on a fun basis..

”Gosh Lucy!! You're so savage. Don't worry about your future husband as the place had already gotten booked by Henry. Moreover, he wouldn't ever allow anyone to even touch the position of your boyfriend...so husband is totally out of the option.” Veronica joked back.

”Yeah… right.” Lucinda said smilingly, remembering her boyfriend.

”By the way… On a serious note, you told me that Alonzo will also attend the party but you don't have to worry about him. I don't give him a single damn shit so there is nothing to become tensed. It's true that he was once my friend but not anymore. Now, I hate him with all my guts...

But the question is about Myra. Really I don't know how she will react when she'd see him. But somehow I think it's a good thing that Cole will also be attending the party.” Veronica said thinking about something in her head.

Lucinda became bemused with the thought of something good about Cole's presence but couldn't find any answer about it.
