One Wild Night
Chapter 777 Three Weeks Later
It was Thursday, and few days before Bryan and Sonia's wedding. Everyone was excited about it, especially Lucy who was Sonia's maid of honor.
It was easy for anyone to tell that Lucy was bubbling with excitement at the office because of how she kept humming and smiling all day.
When it was time for Lunch, she headed for Tom's office as usual, and the moment she walked inside his office she went to him and gave him a smacking kiss on his lip.
"How has your day been, my love?" She asked and Tom grinned.
"I still don't get why you are more excited than the bride. I just got off the phone with Bryan, and he says Sonia is still sullen," Tom said and Lucy nodded.
"Yep, I know. I spoke with her earlier. It's just her pregnancy hormones making her feel down. That's more reason I have to be excited on her behalf. It's not every weekend my best friend gets to walk down the aisle. And since she can't work up the energy to feel excited about it, I am doing a good job of it for the both of us," Lucy said and then looked at Tom with a serious expression.
"And while we are on the subject, I'm thinking of moving in with them today until after the wedding," Lucy said and Tom shook his head immediately.
"No way. I can't live without you," he said and Lucy giggled.
"I'm not asking you to. You dare not live without me. But it's not like I'm leaving you. It's only for two days. Today is Thursday. Tomorrow is Friday, and their wedding is on Saturday. I think she needs my presence to liven her up. We can't afford to have a sad bride," Lucy said and Tom scowled.
"Even Bryan who is her lover couldn't help brighten her...."
"I'm not Bryan. Bryan has his role and I have mine. And don't you think it's natural for her to be that irritated with Bryan since he is the one who put her in that condition? I didn't get her pregnant, Bryan did. Besides, this is the last weekend of my best friend being single. I would love to spend it with her and do all I can to get her all excited about her big day," Lucy said and Tom sighed.
"Alright. But I'm coming with...."
"No. You can't. If you come my attention will be divided and I won't be able to spend all the time with her," Lucy said and he frowned.
"You don't plan to spend the night with her on the same bed, do you?"
"I do. Why? Do you have a problem with that? And why are we not eating yet? Let's talk while we eat," Lucy suggested as she headed for the room in his office.
"I don't want to eat. I've lost my appetite," Tom said and she turned to look at him.
"It's not a big deal...."
"Maybe not to you, but it is to me. How do you expect me to sleep without you by my side?" He asked and she winked.
"Yeah. Jamal has been away from school for too long, and we don't want him to miss any more lessons. But they will surely be here for your Christmas party," Harry said and both Tom and Lucy smiled at the mention of the party while Harry hid his amusement.
"Anyway, I came to let you know I'm leaving. I need to go pick up Candace and Andy from the airport. I will likely not come back to the office unless something comes up. I'm done with my meetings for the day," Harry said and Lucy stuck her tongue in her cheek while Tom raised a brow.
"But their flight is not arriving anytime soon," Lucy said since they had told her their time of arrival.
"Sure. I'm going to hang out with my girlfriend before going to pick them up," Harry said with a wink and Tom frowned.
"How are you done with work and I'm not done?" He asked and Harry smiled.
"Because I pushed most of my work to you. That's one of the benefits of handling your schedule. I can easily push my work to you. I trust you to cover for me. See you later," Harry said with a wave and swaggered out of the office before Tom, who was shooting daggers at him with his eyes, could say anything.
"Lately, he is slacking off in his duties a lot, and it is all because of Jade," Tom said with a scowl and Lucy grinned.
"You did the same because of me while Harry took on all your work. So, it's your turn to return the favor. Love is indeed the death of duty," Lucy said with a small laugh as she rose again.
"If you're not going to have lunch with me, I'm just going to take a few bites and leave. I do not want to be late for my session," Lucy said as she headed for the room and Tom rose to follow her since he didn't see any reason to sit there and sulk when he could spend the little time left with her until Sunday.
As they sat down to eat, Lucy's phone beeped with an Instagram notification and she smiled as she picked it up to see that it was a post notification from Dawn's Instagram account.
"They finally posted a picture," Lucy told Tom as she held up the phone to Tom so he could see the screen.
Dawn was smiling at the camera with her stuffed panda in her arms. The caption read, [Sorry I've been away for so long. I'm back now. Meet my Panda. Her name is Lucy. She is a gift from my best friend, Lucy.]
"You do know she didn't write that, right?" Tom asked and Lucy nodded.
"Sure. I know she has someone managing the account. I'm just relieved to finally see her picture and know she is fine," Lucy said as they started eating.
In the last three weeks, a lot had happened. Kimberly had reached out to Lucy through Dawn's Instagram account to apologize for what she had done and to thank Lucy for keeping to her word and taking care of Dawn as she had said she would.
In her bid to apologize to Tom, Kimberly had also gone as far as reaching out to people and calling in favors to help Tom take care of the business that had made him travel out the last time.
Even though she had helped Tom's business, he refused to reach out to her and maintained his stance on not having anything to do with her.
Also, within the last three weeks, Sara Walker and Rebekah Miller had been charged in court. While Sara Walker had been sentenced to life imprisonment, Rebekah Miller was given the death penalty, with none of her daughters present in court to offer her moral support.
