Thank you, sister Mixi, I love that too, and you are beautiful Ayanna said to her.
Ooh! thanks for the compliment! but we all know you are the stunning one she said laughing with her beautiful voice which relieved all the awkwardness in the room.
Thank you, Mixi, Ayanna said, smiling. She was waiting for a good show since she knew Karti has yet to welcome her. She has a feeling a good face slap is on the way.
The atmosphere was back to being pleasant as everyone knowingly ignored Miss Karti Mendez, to the others she should be reasonable to allow the Prince and his lovely fiancee be, she had other good admirers and matches, it won't be right for her to destroy the great friendship between the prince and herself, since she can't force the man to love her.
Kartis heart was broken, she realized that there was no longer any chance that the prince will turn to her for affection at all, he even brought along someone capable of slapping her for she recalled the incident at the parking lot some months ago.
She had picked on Ayanna to bully only for the other to have stood her ground and even slapped her in the process lecturing her ah!
Miss Karti Mendez was a businesswoman who knew when to count her profit and loss. This battle for the Prince's heart, she had lost, however, she still decided to put up a little more fight and see. That was until she saw how relaxed and happy the Prince was when he talks about his upcoming wedding.
The Prince was telling his friends to get ready to go to his people and plead with her family to marry her.
Buddy, are you trying to tell us that her people object to this marriage? Qin Mo asked.
Not at all but, there is a tradition that is carried out during the marriage ceremony where the man and his friends go and plead for the bride they show their unity by all begging for the bride to be released to their friend and make promises to support them, in all its a beautiful and fun experience.
I will send out the dress code for us once I get back to N country our outfit must be tight be beamed, his friends are beginning to think that he is more excited about the wedding than the woman.
The Prince went on and on about the things he would like his friends to do for him on his big day and Miss Karti Mendez saw that he was super excited, her friend was happy and that's the important thing she has truly lost this battle.
She stood up and everyone turned to stare at her she didn't say anything and just slowly walked out with a broken expression and hunch shoulders, her friends were worried about her, they had never seen such a defeat expression on her beautiful face before.
Qin Mo made to go after her, but Princess Ayanna gestured for him to stop and decided to go herself she knew she will have to speak with Miss Mendez.
Ayanna hurried after Miss Karti Mendez and saw her heading to the beach and followed slowly behind her. The woman's shoulder was slumped can it be that the powerful Miss Mendez was crying? she was really crying! walking up to her and gently putting her hands on her shoulders on seeing who it was Miss Mendez tried to turn away but Ayanna didn't allow it.
Did you come to see me in pain? he used to be so nice to me before you came along, and now he won't even spare me a glance, I have loved him from our days in the university but for some reason he always friends zoned me, the truth was he was never interested in any woman in a romantic way till he met you.
Turning to finally face Ayanna Karti said I don't mind losing to you if you will promise to never break his heart, you know out of all the men that surround me he and Qin Mo were the only ones who were never interested in the Mendez clan or money, I was one of their buddy they were genuine friends they are my elder brothers and bosom friend.
I will support this marriage if you promise to make him happy, I never want to see him in pain as she cleaned her tears and snot staring at Ayanna with her flushed face.
I promise to make him happy and content, I promise you, Miss Mendez, you won't have anything to worry about your friend.
Good then, I am okay! and please call me Karti and if there is any way that you need my help then kindly let me know please, I will be very glad to help.
Miss Karti and Ayanna stayed and talked about this and that until Karti was back to being herself then they both walked back to the others.
The others were just about worried about them for they were worried that Karti and Ayanna might get into a fight but to their amazement, they saw both of them laughing together as they walked back to join them in the room.
Hey! are you alright? The Prince asked Ayanna.
Uhm! she answered, and smiled.
I am fine everyone! don't worry about me too, Miss Karti announced to no one in particular, causing everyone to laugh.
She turned to the Prince and said, I am very sorry buddy for causing you problems but I am fully in support of your wedding now, all I want is your happiness and she makes you happy so I am all for it.
The Prince was stunned hell everyone except for Ayanna was shocked Karti was apologizing and she was finally fine with the marriage? this was good right?
Thank you Karti buddy... Prince Ade Ade said to her them after some second and a pinch from Ayanna he got up and gave Karti a big hug, thank you, my friend, he said.
Now Ade Square all I want now is to be part of your groom's men, so whatever the other guys are doing and wearing am all for it.
Everyone laughed, then Jun said this is going to be a very unique groom's man.
No problem I will email everyone the details later.
While Ayanna and Karti were out they had ordered some food and drinks and the table was filled will all kinds of treats so the ladies joined in and had some fun.
The night was getting late before they all left there.
