Planned Baby novel Chapter 60

The press conference went well. Our company is the headline in all business newspaper.

Our company stocks are doing well again. It went better compared to the previous years. I should thank Ulie, Quen, and Jace for it.

Their names have a big influence in the business world. I am grateful for them.

But I will be very honest, it puts so much pressure on my part because people are expecting a lot from us.

The company decided to organize a victory party for this huge success. We invited the three great guys who help us to overcome this battle.

“How’s the preparation for today’s event?” I asked Luna.

Luna was the one in charge of this event. She works hand in hand with our marketing team.

“Everything is going according to plan. The marketing team is already in the venue to have the final check of the things needed for the event. I will go to the venue around 1 pm to assist them.” Luna reported.

I nodded at her. Luna is really dependable. As long as she is in charge, I don’t have to worry because surely everything will be perfect.

“How about the special guests?”

“I call them awhile ago to remind them of the party and they all confirmed that they will attend later.”

“How about the gifts?”

Luna handed me a gift box.

“This is the customize wine gift box that we requested. It has 5 wine gadgets that they will surely love. And of course, the wine that we ordered especially for them.” Luna explained.

Chateau D’YQUEM. It was a premium wine that cost more than $100,000.

“Good job as always Luna.”

“Mom, how do I look?” Alistair asked.

I look at my five years old son. Alistair and Amelia will also attend the party. He is wearing a Paul Smith royal blue three-piece suit. Ulie is wearing the same outfit. The four of us decided to wear a matching outfit.

“You look dashing my son,” I told Alistair.

Alistair smiled widely upon hearing my answer. He then turned to his twin sister.

“What do you think Amelia? Do I look dashing just like what our mom said?” Alistair said anticipating his twin’s response.

Amelia gave his twin brother a boring look. She then looks at his twin from head to toe. “You look fine. I think Cassie will finally notice you.”

Alistair's eyes twinkle. He surely likes Amelia’s answer. I was quite surprised by Amelia. She usually calls his brother ugly. Her “fine” answer can be considered as a complement to Alistair.

“Daddy!” The twins called their dad upon seeing him entering the room.

Ulie looks at me with admiration. He stops from walking and just stared at me. I suddenly feel shy because of his stare.

“Daddy, how do I look?” Amelia went to his dad and showed him her outfit.

But Ulie wasn’t answering. His full attention was still on me.

“Dad? Daddy? Daddy!!!” Amelia shouted.

That is the only time, Ulie breaks his stare. He then scratches his head and looks at Amelia.

“Yes, baby?” Ulie awkwardly asked.

“Stop drooling at mommy and look at me, Daddy. How do I look?” Amelia said while she turns around to have a better look at her dress.

Amelia and I were wearing a Rajo Laurel royal blue one-shoulder dress. The dress has a navy and nude floral embroidered one-shoulder sleeveless bodice, sweetheart neckline, and embellished details. It's a floor-length fitted skirt with a slightly flared end.

“You look dazzling my princess. “ Ulie answered.

Amelia felt proud of what she heard from her dad. “I know. Thank you, dad!”

The event went well so far. I just finished my speech and went back to the VIP table where Quen, Luna, Jace, and the Escarrer family (including the twins) are seated.

I noticed that Kaela was not in the mood since I saw her tonight. I was bothered by it.

“Hey, Kaela are you okay? Do you not like the party?” I can’t help but ask.

She frowned. “I’m okay. Why?”

“You barely smile. You look mad or something.

Are you sure you’re okay?” I asked again.

Kaela was about to answer when Quen cut her off.

“I am the reason why she is acting like that.”

I furrowed. “Why? What happen?”

Quen scratched his head. “It’s because of my answer regarding Hadley on the press conference.”

“What about that? What's with your answer?” I asked a bit confused because I can’t remember what he said wrong about Hadley.

“Quen said that Hadley is very special and important in his life, media assume that Quen has special feelings for her,” Luna whispered.
