She just responded with a simple smile.
" Dear, You must be tired now. Go home and rest. We shall meet tomorrow." Ryan said.
" Okay Ma'am." Trina got up and left after that.
***
The following day she was in the hospital when a new nurse entered her mother's room.
" Good morning Ms Trina." The nurse greeted politely.
" Good morning" Trina responded with questioning eyes.
" I am Mariam. From today onwards I will be taking care of your Mother." She introduced herself.
" Ooh, Thanks but I haven't asked for a nurse." Trina said.
" I did .." A familiar voice interrupted.
When Trina turned around it was non other than Ryan herself.
" Good morning Mrs Walter." She told up to greet her with respect.
" Good morning dear. I brought Mariam to take care of your mother." Ryan said.
" Why do we need a nurse, I am already available." Trina said.
" Your wedding is next week. You won't have time to fully take care of your mother while we organize." Ryan said.
" Besides, Remember you will be working in the hotel very soon." Ryan added.
Trina really realized that she had no time.
" Nice meeting you Mariam." She said and shook hands with her.
Ryan looked at her wrist watch. It was getting to midday.
" Come Trina, We need to start the shopping as soon as possible." She spoke.
" Shopping for what ?" Trina was confused.
" Don't you know wedding things ? You need a gown, rings, prepare for decorations, venue , invitation cards. There are many things we need to work on." Ryan explained.
" Okay, Mrs Walter. I will get ready." Trina said and they left in Ryan's car.
They drove to a mall where they checked for everything they needed. Clothes, bags, shoes, jewelry among other things.
Ryan made Trina try on each and every dress that caught her attention and Trina actually good in all of them.
Candy was feeling angry and furious as she watched Trina try on the expensive dresses and she shoes.
This girl had seriously won Ryan's love. If it wasn't for Trina Candy would be the one enjoying all these things right now. For that reason she hated Trina away.
After Ryan gave Candy all the bags to take to car which made her more vexed by this. She was going to become Trina's servant soon or later.

That evening when Ryan returned home, Romeo had also just come back.
" Greeting Mom." He greeted.
" Greetings." She said focused on reading a newspaper.
Romeo sat down besides her.
" Is the New Hotel Launch ready ?" Ryan asked putting the newspaper aside.
" Yes Mom. We shall have it in two weeks time." Romeo responded.
" Postpone it to next week." Ryan commanded.
Romeo was a little bit confused by what his mother said,
" Why do you suddenly want to postpone it ?" Romeo asked.
" I got good idea. Your wedding will be held on that very day of the launch." Ryan declared.
" Mom, You can't be serious. How can I marry on that very day ?" He asked.
" I don't have money to waste on the Launch and then the wedding. Do I say. I and Trina have already shopped eveything needed." Ryan assured him.
Romeo got up from the sofa still proposing it.
" No Mom, The launch is a very big function for me. Do you know how many important guests I invited ?" He asked.
Ryan shook her. " Is it a problem if your guests attend your wedding?" She asked,
" Mom, You don't know. They will laugh at me. I can't marry that ugly girl before everyone." He insisted.
Ryan got up to his level and said. " I have set it up intentionally because the whole world needs to know that you married, those very important guests you are talking about should witness it." She left after saying this.
Romeo passed his hands through his hair in disbelief. This was getting on his nerves. He shouldn't allow it to happen.
***
While he was in the office the following day, He called his secretary and asked for the launch guest list again.
The secretary brought them and put them on the desk.
He started looking through.
" I need to cancel some guests. I can't let my homies know that I am marrying that stupid girl." He begun crossing out some names and then made the final guest list.
On that very say, Ryan called Trina and asked her to meet at a certain studio.
When Trina reached there Ryan was waiting from a makeup room.
Trina looked around perplex all over her face.
" Mrs Walter, Why am I here ?" Trina couldn't help asking.
" What are you waiting for, Start working on her right away." Ryan told the two workers of the beauty shop who were staring at Trina.
" Ms Trina, You are welcome. Please have a seat !" The first young lady said.
Trina sat down before the mirrors and the makeup kit.
She was still wondering when they started applying makeup on her face.
They applied a little foundation, blush and a pink lipstick. After they untied her long hair from the porntail and the moment she turned to look back at Ryan she was so beautiful.
Ryan smiled pleasantly.
" Wow, You guys I have a beautiful daughter in.law. Isn't she ?" Ryan asked the two ladies.
" Indeed she's a beauty." The second one complimented.
" Bring the dress !" Ryan stated and the First Lady went to another room and came back with a red race dress and a pair of black high heels.
Trina got up in disbelief.
" Mrs Walter, Is this mine ?" She asked not believing it.
" Yes, Go and put it on." Ryan said.
" I will come and help." The First Lady offered and went on to the changing room with her.
When Trina came back she looked differently stunning. The Dre's fitted her so well exposing her curves that were all in the right places.
Her waist was small with a flat tummy, hips and round buttocks. It caught her medium chest so well exposing her smooth skin.
The dress exposed large sum of her legs which were also in good shape.
Ryan herself wowed.
