'Isn't this the best thing ever?'
The thought crossed Stephanie's mind as she stared at her reflection in the washroom mirror. Her lips, painted in the cherry pink color, curled up into a sinister smile.
Stephanie excused herself to the washroom half an hour after the meal began. Suffering from the pain of holding back laughter, she had to leave the dining room for a while.
Standing by the mirror, Stephanie recalled what happened earlier. She couldn't forget the look of anger on Jonathan's face before he sternly told Lariette off for deliberately causing trouble.
"Aren't you ashamed of yourself? We have important guests today! How could you pull such a prank?"
If not for the people present, Stephanie believed Jonathan would lash out fully. He wouldn't ever tolerate Lariette being related to anyone from the Alvord family, let alone marry one.
