At that, Selena hurriedly lowered her head and apologized, “I’m so sorry I slipped.” In the end, she still turned to Ellen for help. ‘Ellie, please put in a good word for me.”
Meanwhile, Anastasia turned from displeased to shocked when she saw Selena calling out to Ellen. “Do you know her, Ellie?” “She’s the daughter of that uncle, Mom, Ellen answered, prompting Anastasia to size Selena up. She’s the girl they sent abroad for studies?!
“I’m really sorry, Mrs. Presgrave. Please forgive me. I’m still fresh here, so I’m still learning.” Selena immediately pulled the pity card. ‘Forget it. I won’t hold you for anything.”
Anastasia decided to overlook the matter only because of Ellen. Later, the manager took Selena away and got someone else to serve them, and as Anastasia watched the manager lecture Selena in the corner, she mused, Looks like they only sent her abroad for dignity. She didn’t end up learning anything practical.
“Ellie, do you want to invite your uncle and his family to the wedding?” Anastasia asked. She knew it was something she had to check with Ellen, and if the young woman said yes, they would just do it according to her wishes.
It was justifiable, too, if Ellen said no, for even Anastasia didn’t want to forgive the Aguirres for what they did to Ellen.
Ellen had actually thought about it, and she thought it wasn’t morally right if she didn’t invite her uncle. Hence, she nodded. “I’d like to invite them if they’re willing to come.”
“Alright. I’ll have them send the invitation over. It’ll be up to them whether they want to show up.” Anastasia nodded.
“Really? Why would you say that?” “I’m scaling a mountain. The sound of something sharp piercing into the snow could be heard as he spoke, worrying Jared instantly. At that, he made it a quick one. ‘Alright, I’ll just say this. I’m getting married on the 18th of February, so you get your *ss back here to be my best man.”
“Wait, what? You’re getting married?! You could’ve at least given me a heads-up!” Ethan huffed. “Stay safe. I’m waiting for you.” Jared kept his words concise, for he feared for the safety of his adventurous friend. “Alright, I promise I’ll come back in advance.”
“See you, then. Stay safe!” Jared couldn’t help reminding him. The Presgraves were speedy when it came to getting the wedding ready. The private island was immediately reserved for three months, becoming a place for the Presgraves to welcome the guests.
The invitations were sent out very quickly, too, and Ellen provided them with Connor’s address, which Connor gave her the last time. With that, one invitation headed to the Aguirres.
