Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 1181

Chapter 1181 Rich Wife
It was ten sharp when Lucy was called into the event director's office. "Where's Cherise?" he inquired.

Lucy pursed her lips. "She's not feeling well and couldn't come in today."

"Hmm, skipping out without calling in sick? Must be living the high life with that rich husband," the director mumbled, shaking his head.

Lucy furrowed her brow. "Excuse me, what did you say?"

If memory serves, neither she nor Cherise mentioned their personal lives during their job applications. How could the director possibly know Cherise was married to someone wealthy?

The director blinked, clearing his throat. "Nothing important. It's Monday already. Did you finish the birthday celebration plan I requested last week?"

Lucy took a deep breath and turned to place her completed proposal on his desk. "Yes, it's finished. It might be a little basic, but I'd appreciate your feedback."

The director frowned, picking up the plan and flipping through it. "Explain your approach."

Despite Lucy's typically carefree and assertive demeanor, she was thorough when it mattered.

Taking another deep breath, she slowed her speech. "Here's my thought process. Since you mentioned the birthday girl wasn't from here but from Adania, and I've lived there since I was a kid, I incorporated a lot of unique Adanian touches into the party theme."

She went on, "And about wanting to introduce her fiancé in a big way at the party? Just showing him off right away seemed kinda boring. So, I came up with this: her fiancé surprises her with the cake, they cut it together, everyone's watching, and BAM! The ring's hidden inside for her to find. Proposal and birthday celebration, all in one smooth move. Romantic, right?'
