Chapter 39 Surprise!! Its a date with Lucy, not Jenna (1/2)

”Surprise, Ms. Grey,” Jenna revealed.

Lillian was shaking. Seeing Lucy would be something she had never imagined that day. Clearly, she remembered Lucy's call in the early morning. Lucy had wished good luck for Lillian and they kept talking for few minutes. Lillian never suspected any kind of surprise plans from Lucy. Seeing her now shocked her very hard.

Jenna felt satisfied. She got the reaction as expected. She smiled.

”Ms. Grey? Ms. Grey?” Jenna waved her hand in front of Lillian's face.

Lillian's eyes changed from 'getting surprised' to 'scolding Jenna'. She looked as if Jenna took a lot of trouble in arranging this. Although she was happy to see Lucy inside there, Lillian felt a little sad. As if, they were planning to hang out as friends but it just turned out to become a surprise date. Plus, Lillian wasn't planning to let her romantic pheromones run wild tonight.

”Now, Ms. Grey, don't just stay here. Come on, your date is waiting for your arrival. It won't look good if Ms. Lucy had to wait any longer. Go on.” Jenna tried to push Lillian who happened to be now a little angry.

”Why?” Lillian asked.

Lillian didn't know how to respond to this situation. One side, she is all happy to meet Lucy; finally moving on with her life without Giselle or the past. On the other side, she felt as if her plans with Jenna was ruined. Lillian felt that Jenna is more deserved to join in the celebration. Because she worked her ass off and helped Lillian in every possible way.

”What Why? Ms. Grey. I felt you deserved to be happy instead of turning into a freak every single time you release a book. You need to stop calling me every single time when you're scared or nervous. You have a steady girlfriend now which to my knowledge is something like a miracle. Ms. Lucy is really caring and gentle. She loves you a lot more than you think. She might not get involved with your work life. But it doesn't mean you should exclude her.” Jenna paused and looked at Lucy as she continued...

”Ms. Grey, I think you should spend the night celebrating with your girlfriend, which is why you should be going inside right now...” Jenna replied as she kept pushing Lillian to move. Lillian stood like a rock; refused to be pushed around.

”And that's why you forced me to wear this dress?”

”Bingo.”

”And didn't allow me to drive?”

”Victory!!!”

Lillian felt silly but also genuinely happy for having Jenna around.

”So, did you plan for all of this?” Lillian asked her.
