Willmar left Phoenix to herself at the table. She did not inform Freddie she was leaving and quickly left. Nobody cared since everyone was busy doing what they liked. She needed to be alone to clear her mind.
Phoenix did not stop her friend from leaving. She was mad at her for forgetting whatever that happened between her and her acquaintance yesterday.
She was mad at her for nothing. She did not even know what had happened between them.
"Willmar, I'm not her okay. I'm not you." She murmured to herself as if her company was still around to ask whatever she just said.
She cleared the table and went to join her brother-in-law to watch the football match.
"Don't ask me anything." She raised her hand in mid air for him not to ask her anything.
Freddie closed his mouth feeling down like a small boy who has just been forbidden to not utter a word. He thightly hugged the pillow in his arms. He was being threated like a small boy.
Where was his mom when he needed her?"
"She wants to be alone." Phoenix removed his high sounding curiosity.

It's been hell for him since last night. He only slept for two hours. How was he supposed to see to it that things are all set for the ball. He wanted it to be one of a kind.
His family has thrown a lot parties and balls before. But his----
He wanted to get on fast with the contract agreement. Besides, Stylish and FACE got a lot in common.
How come he never thought about FACE. It is one of the leading jewelry companies in the three cities. Most of their designs are recommended all over the media, shows and recently bypassed the leading one in City D.
A lot of people did not regard FACE because it's owner used to be an old lady. She did not make it that much of a business and passed away . It used to be a private company, a very small one. Nobody thought the company would still be alive after the old lady passed away.
Many saw it back with a new face and this time the owner was unknown. A lot knew that the old lady never had any relations. She was an orphan making them believe the orphanage took over the company. It was this new owner who gave it the name FACE.
It was nameless during the old lady's days. She never thought of giving it one either.
Yet still the name FACE, nobody knows what it means.
The old lady never reveled any of her designs. In fact, people thought she worked alone. Nobody ever saw an employee enter or come out of the company. It was a mysterious one at the time.
And still is as now.
Phoenix is the owner. She has worked hard to raise it. Perry was aware that it belonged to a female. He never thought she was one of the Williams.
Yeah, he knew the Williams through his grandpa. They used to be very close. His grandpa and old man Williams used to be very good friends. They used to play cards very often. The old man however passed away, making their friendship to also retire.
It was through these playing of cards between the two old men that Perry got to know about Phoebe. He never paid attention to her though. It was only at Uni that they became a bit close. Even with that she wanted more.
It was surprising when he saw two of Phoebe at the beach side. He recognized her easily and bewildered with the other face. She was a smaller version of Phoebe. They had the same face, and their height mismatched. Their weight also told the same thing.
They were twins, yet two different people. Of course, twins aren't the same.

"The invitation cards have been distributed sir," John informed him. He has completed his task and was reporting to the boss.
Perry sat in front of his desk starring into the empty space. John did not bother asking what was wrong with him. He could see it plainly from his face.
He was not sure if the boss heard him either. He had noticed dark circles under his eyes. He did not sleep well.
"Get me something to eat," he heard in mutter to himself.
John quitely walked out to fulfill what he heard. He did not want Perry to stress himself out. He looked very tired.
'What did he do last night?'
Did he not come here straight after instructing him to send the cards out to people?
