Chapter 1321: I need that pill
Ignoring Wild and Lily, Penny furrowed her brows as she read the first invitation from the stack. Each envelope had a different color, likely representing different themes. The sheer number of invitations, along with the message Mark had relayed, confused her. However, upon seeing the details inside, she became even more perplexed.
"What is this?" she blurted out, effectively stopping Wild and Lily’s conversation. She turned the invitation around for them to see. "Grace just invited me to her birthday. It’s tomorrow."
"Huh?" Lily furrowed her brows, tilting her head. "Penny, are you sure that’s what it says?"
"Read it yourself." Penny handed her the invitation, which Lily accepted and examined.
"Oh, right, it does say that." Lily rocked her head in thought. "But... wasn’t her birthday already over?"
"I know."
"Maybe it’s a late celebration?" Lily guessed as she returned the invitation. "Since she had to fly out of the country and missed celebrating, maybe she’s making up for it."
"Well, if she’s inviting you girls, you should go," Wild chimed in. "Gracie works hard and rarely celebrates anything. Tonight is your sister’s family meeting, so there’s no conflict. The birthday celebration is tomorrow."
Lily and Penny exchanged glances before nodding. They agreed—Grace worked so hard she practically didn’t acknowledge holidays. Even if there were a storm outside, nothing would stop her from showing up to work.
"You’re right." Penny hummed, putting the invitation aside for safekeeping. She wanted to attend the celebration—it was for a dear friend, after all.
