Chapter 397 - The Plan (2/2)

He was after all one of the most sought-after business persons anyone would want to have at an even like that and then, he would have to do it as a favor to his friend and as an extension of much needed courtesy to his parents.

They would however, need an excuse for Amy to be present at the event and in the company of Edward. But how they would achieve that posed a problem for a little while. But then it was not much of a problem.

Jun Mo decided he would tell Edward that he was to chair the occasion. This would mean he needed to take note of the donations made as he would have to follow up with payments made on pledges.

He knew Edward would be too busy to want such a flimsy role. And that was the point. Once they had it all figured out, they enjoyed a few drinks and caught up on the very different lives they had been leading.

And so she forced herself to shrug it off. She focused on how she would tell Amy about the dinner.

She knew her friend would want to opt out and run away screaming and so it was her duty to convince and calm her down in preparation for the big event.

She busied herself thinking up different scenarios and how they would both react to them. She had so much fun she started to laugh all by herself in the car.

But in her mental wanderings, she hit on a bright idea that she had not seen coming at all. She almost slapped herself for not coming to it immediately because it was brilliant! She could not wait to get to Amy's.

The weight of the news she was bearing was almost too heavy and was starting to crush her. She put her foot down on the gas pedal and raced towards her friend's home. Her smile was at once happy and mischievous.

”No way that is true!” Amy exclaimed. She had jumped up immediately Chynna broke the news to her. She put her hands on her forehead and her eyes were as wide as saucers behind her glasses.

”Chynna, you need to tell me exactly what is going on because this is so out of the blues and I do not know how to feel about it at all. I mean, why would Jun Mo want to take me to his mother's gala as a date? That is just unbelievable.

It just never happens. I mean, I can bet he has a long list of women to get through before he even thinks of someone like me. This is...” she shook her head as words faild her in expressing her surprise at what Chynna had just laid on her.

Her bright idea had hit her on the way here and she had realized that she could very well take two birds off the branch with one stone if she threw her rocks well.
