Sip and Drip…

Friday morning...

"I have to go back home early in the evening today. You guys have to manage everything in my absence." Lucinda said to her employees.

The employees nodded and said, "Okay ma'am."

Lucinda went upstairs to her private room and took a comic book to read when suddenly her phone rang and it was none other than her best friend Veronica.

"Hey Niccy.." Lucinda greeted.

"Yo my bestie... Seems like from the day you became the girlfriend of Mr. Henry Johnson, you completely forgot about me." Veronica feinged a weeping noise...

Lucinda smiled at her best friend's trick and played along with her, "What can I do when my boyfriend is extremely handsome.!"

At this comment, both of the girls laughed out loud..

Veronica was the first one to stop laughing and said, "Okay... Let me come to the straight point. As you asked for shopping tomorrow, I informed both Willa and Myra about it though I hate shopping. And to your good luck, they had agreed."

Lucinda shrieked in excitement and said, "Oh.. I'm so happy because of this. Finally after so many days or more like a month, I'm going for shopping."

Chuckling at her, Veronica said, "Yes.. Our shopping goddess is really excited for tomorrow. By the way, what's your plan today?"

"Uhm.. Nothing much. Mom and Dad told me to get ready tonight as some guest will come for dinner. So I'll be leaving for home early." Lucinda informed her.

Veronica just nodded and said, "Okay.  Let's see each other tomorrow then."

"Yep.. Bye. This shopping goddess also has to make a big list for tomorrow." Lucinda grinned.

Shaking her head, Veronica hung up the call and instead called her cutie boyfriend..

Smith Enterprise…

"Sir this is the final output of the invitation card. How is this?" Tom asked as he handed the card to Reuben.

Reuben gently took the card in his hand and he became very happy after seeing the designs and calligraphy as he praised, "It's really good Tom...just like what I expected.."

Tom smiled and said, "I already booked few florists who will delivered our future lady boss's favorite flowers."

"That's good. You may leave now. If I need anything I'll call you back." Reuben said.

As soon as Tom left Reuben's office cabin, his phone buzzed and just by seeing the caller ID, his face bloomed into a big smile.

"Hey babe." Reuben said.

Veronica also smiled and said, "Hi honey. What are you doing?"

Reuben fiddled with the invitation card and said, "Nothing... Just looking through some files. What about you?"

"Ah.. Nothing much. Just talked with Lucy and then called you." Veronica replied.

"Oh... Henry also called me today morning, saying that he had to go somewhere tonight with his family but they had not told him exactly where they'll be going...

When he asked about it, Uncle and Aunty just said that it's going to be a surprise for him." Reuben told her.

Veronica felt something was wrong in this as Henry's parents were never so much hideous about anything to him...

Then something clicked on her mind as she tried to clear her doubts to Reuben by saying, "Bennie, do you know what Lucinda told me now?"

Reuben was confused with the sudden question and said, "How could I know what Lucy talked with you??"

Veronica simpered and said, "Lucinda told me that her parents had asked her to get back home soon as they are going to have some guests in their house but who are these so called guests, Lucy doesn't know..."

"Are you getting what I'm trying to say?" Veronica asked after filling Reuben's ear with too much information.

Reuben proceeded all the info that Veronica had said to him when everything hit in his mind as he finally grinned evilly.

"So it's going to be a well planned family gathering.." Reuben said.

Veronica also smiled wickedly and replied, "Yes.. And maybe we are going to hear some good news tomorrow."

Reuben chuckled with her and said, "New relations on the way.."

And then both of hem burst into a huge round of laughter..

Wilson Mansion...

At evening...

Lucinda got ready in a very pretty gown which was sap green in colour with black embroidery. It was a round neck gown which was looking very elegant on Lucinda's perfect shaped body.

She wore a pair of matching black earrings with a bracelet on her hand and kept her hair opened.

She was applying the maroon lipstick on her lips when someone knocked on her door.

She thought it must be some maid so she said, "Come in."

Lucinda didn't notice who was behind her and continued with her makeup before asking, "Do you have anything to say?"

When she didn't get any response in return, she turned around to see it was not any maid, but her own brother was standing there with his hands in his pocket staring at her...

"Bro... When did you come?" Lucinda asked slowly walking towards Neil.

Neil hugged his sister and replied, "Just now. But after coming here, I thought to meet my sister first. And when I saw you doing your makeup, I sensed something else which I had never detected before today.."

Lucinda pulled herself a little from her brother and asked while arching her brows up, "What did you sense?"

Sighing at her, Neil smiled slightly as a different kind of emotion drove into his eyes as he confessed, "I came to know that, you really became big in a span of few years.."

Lucinda couldn't understand anything what her brother was saying so she just uttered her confusion into words, "I can't make out clearly what you are saying. Please be more specific brother.."

Neil smiled at her and took her towards the couch of her room before sitting on it..

Hugging her tightly by her shoulders, Neil looked into Lucinda's eyes and said, "The sister who was too much little when I took her in my arms for the first time...had grown up into a beautiful lady..."
