Knock, Knock…
Someone knocked at the door of the lounge.
Theresa stood up to open the door. A woman dressed up as a hotel maid stood at the door. “Excuse me, is there a certain Loredana, Ms. Flores?” “Yes,” Theresa said.
The person in front of her looked like a hotel maid, so Theresa didn’t overthink.
“Oh, I have a gift here for Ms. Flores.” The hotel maid handed over a gift box.
Theresa didn’t take it. Just when she was about to ask her who sent the gift, she heard a male voice, “Who sent it?”
Boyce Shawn came over.
Cormac was afraid that something wrong could happen and there was no any outcome from the Bailey family. He was afraid that someone could make troubles. The wedding place was completely patrolled by special personnel. Boyce was responsible for Loredana because Cormac trusted him.
For the good of the wedding, he personally supervised it.
It just so happened that Theresa wanted to ask the same question, but after hearing Boyce’s voice, she no longer asked. She looked at the hotel maid, and seemed to be waiting for her answer.
“It’s from a lady,” said the waitress.
“A lady?” Theresa was quite curious. She knew almost everyone around Loredana, wondering which friend of Loredana still hadn’t attended the wedding ceremony yet. “Did she have any message?” asked Loredana.
She was wearing the wedding dress, so it was inconvenient for her to stand up and walked over. However, she had overheard their conversation.
She was pretty sure that all of her friends had come here. Others who couldn’t make it had called her for blessings. No one mentioned that there would be a gift sent to her. Hence, she was quite alert to the person unknown.
The waitress shook her head, “She didn’t mention her name at all. She only asked me to send you this gift box,” answered the waitress honestly.
“Where did she hand the box to you?” asked Boyce.
Cameras were installed everywhere. As long as the waitress could give them any clue, they could easily find out the sender.
The waitress blinked, sensing that there must be something wrong with this matter. All of them were quite sensitive as if she was delivering a bomb.
She wondered if that was a bomb in the gift box for real.
As the waitress wondered, her hands started trembling.
She swallowed hard and continued, “At North Gate. The lady looked pretty. She said she’s a friend of the bride and asked me to send over the wedding gift. So, I… I took it here…”
Upon hearing her answers, Boyce immediately called to request the surveillance record. After that, he hung up the phone and took over the gift box.
“Thank you. You may leave now.”
The waitress immediately left as if they would make trouble to her if she stayed there longer.
Boyce untied the ribbon on the box. Theresa reached out to press his hand. Looking at him, she asked, “What are you doing?”
Boyce said, “I want to open it and take a look. We don’t know who has sent this box. What if there’s something dangerous inside?”
If the dangerous thing harmed Loredana, he couldn’t explain it to Cormac at all.
His words made sense. Theresa reached out to hold the box, “Since it might be dangerous, you can’t open it either. Leave it to me.”
Boyce was taken aback for a moment. Soon, he came back to his senses, “I can’t open it, but can you?”
“I’m already unlucky. I guess all my bad lucks had been used up. Hence, nothing unfortunate should happen to me again. It’s more suitable for me to open it.”
As she spoke, Theresa was about to open it.
“Wait, Theresa,” Loredana called her to stop.
“It’s a gift for me. Why would you guys open it?” Loredana came over despite the inconvenience caused by the wedding dress. Reaching out to Theresa, she said, “Give it to me.”
Theresa shook her head, “No, I can’t. What if it’s a bomb?”
“If it’s a bomb, can you remove it?” Loredana was quite aggressive, “Give it to me.”
Theresa still held the box, unwilling to give it to her.
Loredana reached out her hand, “Come on.”
Theresa looked up at Boyce for help.
Before Boyce was about to convince Loredana, the latter interrupted him, “If it’s destined to me, no one could block it.”
Loredana took over the box and sat down on the sofa. She took a deep breath and reached out to open the lock. When she was about to open it, Theresa hurriedly ran over, “Just leave it unopened. Let’s wait until the wedding finishes.”
Loredana looked up at her, “I’ll always feel uneasy if I don’t take a look at it.”
Theresa still wanted to convince her, but Loredana stopped her. Then she pulled Theresa’s hands away and opened the box.
The gift was covered with a layer of delicate package paper. There was also a card. Loredana picked it up and opened it. There was a greeting: “Conflagrations on your wedding.”
Theresa was standing next to her, reading the card.
“The handwriting looks pretty. Who is that woman?” asked her in confusion.
Loredana looked up at her. In silence, she put the card aside and opened the packaging paper.
Theresa was more nervous than Loredana was. She clenched her fists, afraid that there would be a hazard in there. However, after the packaging paper was removed, they saw a set of pink lingerie, which looked extremely seductive.
Boyce took a glance and turned around. Theresa was afraid there would be any tricks, so she picked up the lingerie and completely removed the remained package paper on it. There was nothing but that lingerie inside the box.
Frowning, she asked, “Who the heck has sent it?”
Loredana couldn’t figure it out either. If she had known it, she wouldn’t be so nervous just now. She put back the lid on the box and said, “Don’t tell Cormac about it now.”
“Are you sure?” Boyce was afraid that in case something happened, he couldn’t explain it to Cormac.
“It doesn’t matter. If it was from someone we know, it would be quite embarrassing.” Loredana made up her mind.
After the wedding, she’ll tell Cormac about it personally.
She didn’t want to hide it forever, but she would wait until their wedding was over.
Right then, the makeup artist knocked on the door and came in, “Ms. Flores, it’s almost time for the ceremony. Please let me fix your makeup.”
Loredana looked over at Boyce and Theresa, “All right. Be happy. Today is the happiest day in my life.”
