Marriage and Annulment

“We’re leaving; Melissa, we’ll play when I come back,” Mitch said.

“All right, Sister Mitch, I’ll wait for you.” Melissa said.

As the two of us walked out the gate, Mitch waved to them.

“I hope you eat again so you can get to work right away; where can I take you to the coffee shop right away?” I asked.

“Yes, I have a uniform there, and don’t worry, I can eat there because they provide dinner,” Mitch explained.

I drove away from the beach house.

We haven’t left the salon yet.

Lucy and Lucianna are the only hairs that have yet to be rebonded. While I was getting ready, I cut my hair short for a different look.

I took a look at my wristwatch. It’s seven o’clock at night. It’s only a matter of time before we have to go home and get ready to return to the hotel.

I dialed Randolf’s number.

“Hello, Miss, do you need anything?” he asked me.

“Nothing, I just called to say hello; where are you?” I ask.

“I’m just at home,” he stated.

“Can you give me your girlfriend’s phone number?” I inquired.

“All right, Miss,” Randolf replied, “I’ll just pass it on to you.”

When I hung up the phone, I said, “Thank you.”

I quickly received Randolf’s girlfriend’s phone number.

I dialed her number, and she answered.

“Hello, who’s this?” she asks on the other end of the line.

“It’s me, Zaneska,” I replied.

“Hello, Ma’am, do you need anything from me?”

“Hmm, I got your number from Randolf; is his birthday tomorrow, right?” I ask.

“Yes.”

“All right, twelve o’clock in the evening, take him to the Luxury hotel and don’t tell him why; I want to surprise him,” I said.

“Of course, ma’am.”

“Thank you!” I exclaimed as I quickly hung up the phone. “Who hasn’t finished yet?” I’ll ask.

“Miss, It’s just only Lucianna left.”

“Perhaps their backs are already aching from looking after all of us here. It’s a good thing this salon has a large staff,” I commented.

“Yes, but for all of us, Miss, they make a lot of money and commissions,” Glaiza explained.

“Yeah, did you get any clothes to wear later on Randolf’s birthday?” I ask.

Mila ask, “Are we all invited?”

“Sure, who said no?” I’ll inquire.

“Nothing, because the celebrant isn’t our friend,” Lucy explained.

“We’re family, I invited Calvin and his sister,” I explained.

“Really?” Lazzy asked, her eyes still gleaming.

“Don’t tell me you had feelings for Miss Zaneska’s brother, Lazzy?” Genie asked.

“Hmmm, just a crush. “What’s the big deal about that? “Lazzy inquired.

“Nothing,” Laica said, “but I’m sorry, he’s not ready to like someone right now.”

“I’m ready to wait,” Lazzy said, and I laughed.

“Doesn’t there have to be another man besides Calvin?” Mila asked.

“Why are you asking ?  Isn’t it as if you said I don’t have any other brothers besides Calvin? It can’t be too much, Mila, because I’ll run out of money if that happens. I’m sure you’ll meet a lot more men in the world. But don’t be  my brother the second time. ” I make fun of them.

They were all laughing.

We noticed Lucianna was finished. They all turned out beautifully. I won’t go into detail about their hairstyle because it will make me hungry.

“Congratulations, girls, you all look so much better today.” I said.

“Thank you for your bonus, Miss, even though it’s not December yet,” Laica said.

I couldn’t stop laughing.

“Welcome, get in the car first, and I’ll just pay,” I said to everyone.

I went up to the cashier and paid.

“Thank you, Ma’am,” the woman said, “because we also had a large commission and a bonus.”

“You’re welcome,” I replied, smiling.

After that, I exited the salon and got into my car.

“Do you have anywhere else to go?” I inquired.

“Nothing, Miss, and then it’s late night; we’d better get back to the hotel as soon as possible,” Hannah said.

I nodded and got behind the wheel. Despite the cold, the night was clear. And the beauty of the city. People are still walking around and entering establishments late at night.

We arrived at the mansion half an hour later.

“Luciana, come out first, and please open the gate,” I said.

I got into the car to unlock Lucianna’s gate. We all went out together.

“Girls, I’ll sleep for a while, but if you want to go to the hotel first, that’s fine,” I said.

“Invite Mark, and please tell him to send all of the company’s employees in the hotel.” I command.

“All right, Miss,” Hannah said to me.

I walked into the room. I stripped naked and went into the bathroom. I turned on the shower and began to soak.

They were also busy because I couldn’t hear the noise any longer. I emerged from the bathroom three minutes later, a towel wrapped around my body. My phone then rang. Who could call is that? I took up my phone and checked to see who had called. I also saw Mr. Chin. I went through my closet looking for clothes. Maybe I’ll be able to sleep before twelve o’clock at night. I called Lucas after I had finished getting dressed.

“Hello, Lucas, where are you?” I inquired.

“At home, Ma’am, why?” he asked over the phone.

“Do we have a new car that arrived at our car shop?” I ask.

“Yes, ma’am.” 

“Yes, Ma’am, but Sir Randolf never mentioned the celebration to me.” he says.

“Actually, he doesn’t know, so it’s a surprise for him,” I explained.

“OK, Ma’am, I’m going there.” he said before hanging up the phone.

I took my backless, above-the-knee black gown inside the closet and put it on. I applied some make-up to my face. When I heard a car beep outside the mansion, I was carrying my black sling bag. I walked out of the room. I started in the girls’ room, but I never saw them again. How easy is it for them to dress like that and then vanish? They haven’t bathed, have they? I shut the gate properly.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

“Where are those girls with you here, Ma’am?” Luke inquired.

Perhaps they’re at the hotel. They’re no longer inside. I said this as I slid into the driver’s seat. Lucas had already driven away from the mansion in his car.

“What time is it, Lucas?” I inquired.

“It’s ten o’clock at night,” I said, nodding.

We arrived in the city after a half-hour drive. I was the first to get out of the car. I saw Rolly standing outside the shop.

“Good evening, Ma’am; I didn’t open the roll up without you,” he said to me.

“Thank you, you have someone with you.” I told him. because I saw a woman waiting in her car while the window was open. The woman smiled at me.

“My girlfriend, Ma’am,”

“I see. Let’s go inside. What nice car for a gift? ” I asked him.

“This Mercedes Benz S-Class, Ma’am, it only arrived yesterday,” said Rolly to me.

“OK, please settle the price, and I’ll pay tomorrow,” I said.

“All right, ma’am,” he said, “I’ll just get the key to the office.”

“All right, Lucas, you’re going to drive that car. Put well outside the hptel, then put up balloons,” I say.

“All right, ma’am,” 

Rolly handed the key to Lucas.

He then started the car and drove outside.

“Bring your girlfriend Rolly to the hotel as well; you’ll be there first because I’m going somewhere else,” I said.

I got into Luke’s car and started it. I intend to return to the mansion because I left the document that I will give to Randolf. I gave him shares in my company as a gift as a thank you for his loyalty to me and the company. It was also twelve o’clock when I returned to the hotel. I got out of the car and entered the mansion. I went straight to my room and opened my drawer. I returned to my car after picking up the document. When I arrived at the hotel, I noticed Lucianna standing next to Clavin and his sister. I got out of the car and parked it on the side.

“Why are you still out here?” I inquired.

“I’ve already accompanied them here, Miss,” Lucianna replied, “because they said they wouldn’t come in if you didn’t.”

“Is that so?”

“They’re embarrassed because there are many guests on the rooftop, including Randolf’s family and all of your employees,” she explained to me.

I nodded and turned to face the girl. She crept behind Calvin.

“Don’t be shy, it’s me, your sister Zaneska, and the dress looks great on you,” I said once, holding her hand.

The child grinned.

“Thank you for this and these shoes,” she said.

“Thank you, and please accompany me inside,” I said.

My phone then began to ring inside my sling bag.

“You go inside first, and I’ll just answer the phone.”

“Hello, Mitch. How are you doing? I’m about to sulk with you. When are you going to arrive?” I asked.

“I’m not going to say anything because it’s a surprise, Zaneska,” she said to me.

“OK, I’ll just wait for your visit,” I said.

“All right, I just called to say hello, and I still have a job,” he said to me.

“All right, be careful,” I said.

“You, too,” she replied after hanging up the phone.

I took a look at the time. It’s really twelve o’clock. I’ve seen a lot of people on the rooftop. Someone shouted. They’re having a good time talking at their tables.

The woman, who I believe works for the hotel, said,

“The birthday person has already arrived!”

I was simply standing behind everyone.

“Just turn off the light,” I tell the female staff.

“That’s all right, ma’am.”

And the entire area went dark. Then everyone made a commotion. It’s possible that there was a brown out. It’s a good thing they’re quiet because someone is keeping them quiet.

“What are we doing here, Love? It’s quiet and dark; why did you bring me here?” Randolf asked of his girlfriend.

I want to burst out laughing. I whispered while holding the staff’s hand.

“Open the light,” they all yelled, and everything around them lit up.

“Happy birthday! Happy birthday!” they all yell as they release the balloon into the sky.

Randolf was teary-eyed, I noticed. He looked as if he was crying. It’s a good thing it didn’t go any further.

“Thank you so much to everyone who came; I had no idea who made this celebration surprise me, but I was very happy,” Randolf said, looking around as if looking for someone.

In my head, I laughed. He had no idea I was the one who planned the surprise birthday party for him. As I approached Randolf with the envelope, Lucas handed me the car key.

“Happy birthday! How old are you? You can get married,” I teased.

“I’m not ready yet,” Randolf replied.

And everyone  laughed.

“You’re making your girlfriend look bad with what you’re saying,” I pointed out.

“She understands, as long as she can just wait for me,” Randolf said after kissing his girlfriend, and I simply smiled.

“Did you enjoy my surprise birthday celebration for you?” I asked him.

“Yes, Miss, I’m overjoyed; I didn’t think you’d planned a surprise for me.

“Of course, you are deserving of this. because you are an excellent assistant to me This is my present to you.”  I informed him. And I presented my gift.

“Key? And this envelope? What is this?” he asked, his voice astonished.

“Open the envelope, and the one with the key is parked outside the hotel, which you should see later,” I explained.

Randolf opened the envelope and took a look at the document inside.

“Shares in the company, but why?” he asked, astounded and disbelieving.

“Are you serious, Miss?”

“Do I appear to be joking? That’s legal, and I had a lawyer do it for me. “I can’t accept it all,” I explained.

“And there’s still a car,” he grumbled.

“Accept it. You are deserving of everything. Congratulations! ” I told him as I hugged him.

“Thank you very much, Miss.”

“You’re very welcome. Okay, take a seat. And we’ll all eat together. “I told the two of them.

And as I approached our table, I noticed Calvin squirming in his seat.
