Chapter 161: When are you and Augustine going on your honeymoon?
Later that afternoon...
Anne and Audrey finally came out of the spa after spending hours grooming themselves.
"Let’s go check the party venue," Anne said.
Audrey grinned from ear to ear, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "I am so excited. Let’s go."
The afternoon sun slanted through the tall glass doors as Anne and Audrey stepped into the sprawling party venue. Staff members in black T-shirts embroidered with the event company’s logo moved with purpose — some arranging centerpieces, others stringing fairy lights along the ceiling beams.
The scent of fresh lilies and orchids mingled with the faint smell of paint and polish as finishing touches were made. Rolls of satin fabric trailed across the polished floor, and crates filled with champagne flutes were being carefully unpacked near the bar.
Anne’s eyes scanned the room as she stepped in. The stage was nearly complete, and the flower wall backdrop looked lush and picture-perfect. But several things were still undone — an open crate of candles sat beside the main arch, a few tablecloths were yet to be laid out, and the lighting team was busy angling spotlights.
Audrey leaned in close, eyes wide with wonder. "This place is massive," she whispered, clearly impressed as her gaze wandered in awe across the hall.
Anne said nothing. Her gaze drifted to the far side of the hall, where several male staff members were carefully hoisting a large crystal chandelier into place. And just beside them... stood Tania with a woman, who seemed to be the event planner.
The woman beside Tania was holding a clipboard, issuing instructions with sharp gestures and a perfectly poised smile. But Anne’s eyes didn’t stray from Tania, who looked like she had walked straight out of a fashion magazine. Dressed in a tailored powder-blue jumpsuit, her hair sleekly tied back in a low ponytail, and a pair of designer sunglasses resting on her head even though they were indoors.
Audrey noticed immediately and followed her gaze.
