"Hey Lisy, are you alright ?"
Annalus asked Lisy as she had been quiet since the fiancé's arrival.
"I'm fine, thank you ! "
"Heaven don't tell me they were going to get married, my heart is bleeding."
Said Lisy inwards, she wanted to cry.
"Are you sure, darling ? You're pale."
Jade asked sarcastically in order to embarrass Lisy.
"I'm fine."
Trevor, Jade's fiancé was just as shocked as Lisy. He'd never imagined he'd meet her again. And seeing her again was already stirring up painful memories inside him and the hatred he had for her.
"What are you not happy to see me ?"
Trevor asks.
"What's going on here, can someone explain me ? "
Annalus asked.
"Excuse me I have to go to the restroom."
Lisy said as she stood up.
"I will get offended, it's as if you have seen a ghost since I arrived. Careful Lisy, don't forget that I'm a customer and a customer is a king ."
He had changed completely compared to her. He had become a real man even more handsome than before and more seductive.
Having had a quick flash of what had happened between them and how he had abandoned her Lisy ended her contemplation.
Since it wasn't enough that he'd cheated on her when they were together he was going to marry her ex best friend.
"Of course sir, it's for you that we're here excuse my colleague's clumsiness. "
Annalus said just enough to make up for Lisy's clumsy act.
Jade, meanwhile relished Lisy's embarrassment. She loved seeing her embarrassed.
She would have liked to unveil her the identity of her fiancé before he arrived but she wanted to savour the scene of the meeting of the former lovers.
"Excuse me sir, it won't happen again."
Lisy said embarrassed.
She was feeling humiliated at that moment.
Trevor just stared at her.
"I'm telling you, I was just as surprised to see her as you were darling. I never thought I'd see her in Manhattan and to top it all off she'll be organizing our wedding I'm stunned darling."
Jade said sensually caressing Trevor's shoulder to make Lisy jealous.
"You're right I wonder what a countrywoman is doing in a city like Manhattan."
Annalus, who until then hadn't understood why the two fiancés were verbally attacking Lisy felt sorry for her.
"Tell us Lisy, I don't think that just a change of skyline and environment are a good enough reason for you to leave Blanco, you've always liked our little town I saw you ending your life and starting a small family on a farm. A bit like your parents."
But what were they playing at ? What did her life have to do with them ?
"I'd like you to respect my privacy. And if you don't mind can we start talking about your wedding plans ? "
"Wow little Lisy is unleashed. Ok ok ! I'll respect your privacy . Let's get back to the point that is my wedding. So the theme of our wedding is "Floral Love", I hope that theme is giving you the vibe."
"Of course miss and you are very lucky you have an expert here."
"Don't tell me that you're talking about Lisy."
Trevor asks.
"I was talking about her sir, she has a supernatural talent for organizing events."
Annalus said to cheer Lisy up, as she was feeling a bit down and she really meant what she had said about her talent.
"I can't entrust my marriage to an incompetent, I'll talk about with Mrs Collins so that she can find me someone else for me."
Trevor said.
His sentence broke Lisy's heart to the core.
"Calm down darling ! Let's give her a chance to prove she's capable."
Jade said stroking his chest.
There was no way he ruin her plans to make fun of Lisy over the next few days.
Jade had felt an inexplicable hatred and jealousy towards Lisy ever since she had stolen the heart of the man she was madly in love with : Trevor.
Her love and friendship for Lisy turned into jealousy and rivalry.
"What do you girls think of the theme ? "
Jade asks.
"It looks amazing ! "
Says Lisy
"I'm counting on you to do a good job, our wedding will be in the press and on all socials media. I want to make everyone who will look jealous."
"Your wish is a command. "
Said Annalus.
"We'll get back to you in two days time."
"Well you'd better propose something impressive and unusual. Darling, I think we're done with the meeting."
She finally said addressing Trevor.
"I've been waiting for this there's a bad vibe hanging in the air. "
He was talking about Lisy and she knew that she was the bad vibe that he was talking about.
"Don't worry baby that's the end of your torment we can go. Well girls we're off see you in a couple of days. It's good to see you again, Lisy. "
"Same here."
Trevor stood up and left the table.
At the same time, the waitress finally brought their order.
"It took you an eternity to bring the order. "
Said Jade.
"Sorry madam, it won't happen again."
"Here, this is to pay the bill and keep the change."
Said Jade, handing her three hundred-dollar notes.
Standing in front of the waitress with the tray still in her hand, Jade had an idea.
In her attempt to leave, she intentionally bumped into the waiter and the steaming cups fell to the floor splashing Lisy.
She started because she hadn't expected it. It burned her .
"I'm so clumsy Lisy, excuse me."
She said rushing back to their table to get some napkins to clean Lisy up.
Lisy knew she'd done it on intentionally.
"It's okay you can go. "
"Sorry again and see you next time."
It was with a triumphant smile that Jade took the exit of the tearoom.
"Sorry madam !"
The waitress said.
"Don't worry !"
"We've got a first aid kit I'll get it for you right away."
"Okay."
"You'd better tell me what's going on between you, I've got a right to know because there was a lot of tension between you three."
Annalus said turning back to Lisy now that they were alone.
"This is not the time Annalus, I've been burnt by the tea all I can tell you is that I know them."
Lisy knew that her life would never be the same again from that moment but she can still run away.
Should she give up responsibility for this contract ?
