Chapter 297 - Expectations mark...

"Of course Lucy. After all, it's your dress so you don't have to ask." Diana said and called Jack to bring the dress..

"Hey Diana.. Here is the dress." Jack said showing the incomplete gown to Diana.

Seeing it, Lucinda was already in aww with it. Though it had only been stitched in the actual shape and a few ruffles was added in it but still it was looking very pretty.

"Oh My God! Without the real work still undone, the gown is already looking so beautiful. I don't know how majestic it will look after you add those beautiful designs of yours." Lucinda complimented.

Diana smiled and said, "Don't worry Lucy. I'll make the best dress for you."

"Okay then.." Lucinda said.

"I'm happy that you like that. Actually it's a relief for you Diana that Lucy loved it.. Otherwise you don't know about her tantrums in choosing dresses." Veronica teased while Lucinda just glared at her.

"Yeah.. I also witnessed Lucy's shopping spree recently and let me tell you Diana, it's up to my expectations mark." Myra also joked, bringing attention on her from a certain someone.

Lucinda scowled at them when she saw that Myra also joined Veronica in making fun of her.

"Diana... Leave these two women and let's decide on my accessories." Lucinda said.

Diana smiled and suddenly remembered that she forgot to introduce Jack to the girls..

"Hey guys.. I forgot to introduce him to you. He is Jack Evans, the team head. He's also helping me in preparing this awesome engagement dress of our cute Lucinda." Diana said.

"Ah!! Don't worry about the introduction Diana. Both me and Lucinda had known Jack from before. Only Myra is the one here who hadn't met him till now." Veronica said.

Lucinda smiled and said, "So how are you Jack? All good?"

"Yeah everything is good. Tell me about you both." Jack asked.

"Well, we're fine. And as you can see Lucy is on cloud nine right now." Veronica again pulled her bestie's leg.

Jack laughed and said, "You both can't ever change. However who is this beautiful lady here?"

Veronica looked at her left side where Myra was sitting and said, "Oh!!! She is Myra Brown…our friend."

"Hey Myra. It's nice to meet you and I must say you're very beautiful." Jack flirted with her before giving her his hand for a handshake.

Myra blushed at his flirting and shook her hand with his shyly before saying, "It's nice to meet you too."

Jack was clean bowled as soon as he heard Myra's voice as he kept looking at her with heart in his eyes. He was not only mesmerized by her beauty but also by her voice along with her elegance.

Yeah…. He dated many girls before but never been in an actual relationship as no girls could attract him towards them in a special way.

All of them were just his flings and nothing more than that. But here the case was completely different.

As soon as his gaze landed on Myra, he was captivated by her beauty. She looked like a girl with whom any man could think of having a stable relationship where no offsprings were allowed.

Veronica, Lucinda and Diana noticed the glitter in Jack's eyes for Myra when they had an eye contact with each other and the little spark between them also didn't go unavoided by them.

"Ahem.. Ahem.. Sorry to break your dreamland Jack but you're coming to my engagement party, right?" Lucinda asked, showing an expression of 'don't you dare to deny' on her face.

Jack visibly gulped, noticing Lucinda's threatening gaze and said, "No.. I'll not be an absent student there as my teacher here is very strict."

This made the girls laughed senselessly where Jack just kept looking at Myra whose laughter was not less melodious than a sweet chirping bird...

Veronica broke his bubble of imagination in a fraction of second and said, "Obviously.. Jack has to come there otherwise I'll tell my Dad to not give him this month's bonus. Moreover, he has to attend the party as Myra is also coming."

Though Myra couldn't able to understand why Veronica was saying stuffs like this but Jack got a clear idea of Veronica's meaning when he noticed the teasing smile on her face.

"Guys… You just told me that you knew Jack from before but I never knew that you guys are this much close to joke around. Is there something that I'm missing?" Diana asked in her confused state as she couldn't decipher about the relationship that her friends had with her team head.

"Let me answer this for you. Actually Jack is Veronica's dear cousin brother from her mother's side. They are actually siblings if you want to be more specific." Lucinda said.

"What?? You are Veronica's cousin? Like really?" Diana asked being completely shocked.

Veronica laughed at Diana's shocked face and said, "Yeah.. He's my lovely cousin. Actually he's a far relative of mine but we share a very good bond. My Mom has a cousin sister and and is her son. So practically he's the son of my maternal aunt...

I know the verbal relationship between me and Jack is really complicated. But trust me, emotionally we're very much attached to each other."

Diana was totally dumbfounded with so much revealation in a single day and Myra was nothing less shocked than her. She never knew that Veronica had a cousin who was as handsome like a Hollywood actor...

"If you are really Vero's cousin, then why are you working in this company just as a team head?" Diana asked.

Jack gave her a twisted grin and said, "Well, that's a quite long story to tell. It'd take a lot of time to reveal everything as time is precious and it doesn't stop for anyone..

After the fiasco of Lucy's engagement ends, I'll tell you everything elaborately. Then you have to listen to my full story without losing your patience and any complain. Now I've work to do."
