Chapter 355 - Excuse Master Reuben... (2/2)

Willa said, ”Yes, let's do it positively.”

Reuben felt relieved and a lot of calm than before after getting support from his friends as they shared a hug together.

”Yes, let's do it to get success!” Reuben chirped excitedly while others nodded.

”Let me inform Dad that we're ready. He should start now.” Reuben said and messaged Mr. Smith...

Banquet Hall...

Veronica was busy in chatting with other elders of their friends group when Mr. Smith got the message from Reuben, for which he was waiting till now impatiently.

He gestured Mr. Lopez through his eyes who understood his friend's signal really well and said, ”Princess, we have to meet some business associates of ours. You stay here. We'll come soon after meeting with them.”

”Okay, Dad.” Veronica said while both of the fathers left with their wives.

Veronica kept talking with others when she heard a very familiar voice. She instantly turned her head towards the stage where she noticed Mr. Smith and Mr. Lopez standing with a mic in their hands.

She focused her attention on them as she thought that they must have something to speak as a welcoming speech as always.

”A very grand welcome to all of our guests. I'm very happy that all of you could spare some of precious time from your busy schedule and glorify the importance of our party by your presence…

Today, we'll not talk about any business matters as this party is specially arranged by my son Reuben to celebrate his love with his beautiful girlfriend who is also my dear daughter, Veronica…

But is this the only reason of this party? I know it's a big question but let me hint you a little bit that it's not the only reason. There is more to come which may surprise you all, specially my daughter Veronica.” Mr. Smith started his part of speech and ended it with a glance at Veronica.

Whereas Veronica was completely confused after hearing her soon to be father-in-law, specially when she heard Mr. Smith to say that the union of them was not the actual reason of the party.

She furrowed her eyebrows to analyze the situation but didn't get any answer even after wrecking her brain for few minutes.

After Mr. Smith, Mr. Lopez started to speak, ”I don't know what to say but I can just be thankful to God that my daughter got Reuben as her life partner. I'm just too much happy for them and I'm leaving the rest of the matter in the kids' hands now…

But my princess, just remember that how much you grow up, you'll still be the same little girl for me and your mumma.”

Now Veronica was very much sure that there was something wrong in their behaviour which she was not aware of. At that moment, she noticed that neither Reuben nor her friends were present there.

She was about to call them when she saw Diana and Myra happily coming towards her with a wide smile...

”Where were you guys? I was…”

Before Veronica could complete, Myra hushed her and said, ”No more talking. Just come with us.”

They pulled a very confused Veronica to the end of the stage and suddenly the light of the hall went off and only a spotlight fell on her...
