BXBX NOVEL Chapter 468 Girls' Bonding
After two days, Alveena and Andrew had finally returned to the City of Empire. Their arrival was at the right timing because there were only two days left before the Centennial Year Celebration of the City of Empire. Both of them got busy helping out Tristan in the preparation.
Sophia and Zhen-Zhen also received Alveena\'s gift. The three ladies had planned to celebrate Zhen-Zhen\'s pregnancy. Alveena didn\'t report in the company today as the three of them were now together, hanging out in the Davis Family Mansion.
Zhen-Zhen and Sophia had no class today because the faculty and staff of the University of Imperial Knights were also preparing for the Centennial Year Celebration. As being the top university in the City of Empire, they had important roles to do during that event.
On the other hand, Alveena was glad that her brother was also busy with the upcoming event. He was not bothering her right now so she got more freedom to do things that she likes.
Zhen-Zhen, Sophia, and Alveena were eating snacks in the living room as they were having girls\' bonding.
"Lillie, I\'m so happy for you. Are you excited to see your baby?" Alveena asked Zhen-Zhen expectantly.
Zhen-Zhen bobbed her head, smiling tenderly as she placed her palm on her flat stomach.
"Thank you, sis Alvee. You are right. I\'m excited. By the way, I will stop coming to school after the end of this semester."
Sophia felt saddened after hearing that. But of course, she understood her situation. She bet that Jade and her group would be happy once Zhen-Zhen would stop going to school. Zhen-Zhen had to give up the title Campus Belle to others. That\'s what they wanted.
"I\'m gonna miss you," Sophia softly said, feeling a little bit sad.
Zhen-Zhen patted Sophia\'s shoulder and said, "It\'s okay. You can always visit me here."I can also visit you in the school."
"Well, can I join you girls whenever you will plan to hang out?"I will also introduce you to my friends. The more the merrier!" Alveena was looking forward to it.
Sophia and Zhen-Zhen just nodded their heads in agreement.
"Oh, I haven\'t told you yet, I have a new female bodyguard. She\'s young and sweet too. Her name is Elijah. I will introduce her to you next time." Zhen-Zhen informed them.
"Eh, why do you have a female bodyguard? Is someone threatening your life, Lillie?" Alveena asked her curiously.
It was Sophia who answered her question.
"Because Lillie is the most precious treasure of the Davis Family," Sophia said teasingly.
Alveena giggled. "Ahem, I could understand that."
"But kidding aside, I think this is related to what happened to Lillie overseas. They just wanted to make sure that someone will watch over her and protect her from any harm."
"Huh? What happened?" Alveena asked again. There was a concerned look on her face.
"Fire accident happened when Tristan and I were having dinner in one restaurant. I was trapped inside the burning restaurant. Fortunately, nothing bad happened to me."
Alveena gasped in surprise after hearing that. "Oh my, that\'s very dangerous. I could imagine Tristan panicking at that time. Andrew had no idea about this."
At the mention of Andrew\'s name, Hannah crossed her mind. She was reminded of Hannah\'s action. She couldn\'t help but feel sorry for Andrew. She knew he would not be happy once he learned the truth.
But Tristan and Zhen-Zhen didn\'t want to create a conflict between the two. Aside from that, They were worried that Andrew and Tristan would become distant from each other again.
As much as possible, they wanted to maintain the good relationship the two brothers had right now.
"Okay. let\'s forget that. We should think of happy moments. So with regards to that, I want to tell you something." Alveena decided to change the topic.
"Ahem, do you think it is okay that a girl will confess her feelings first for a guy? I think I already like someone. But I\'m not sure if he likes me too." Alveena was referring to Andrew.
"Wow, no wonder you are blooming. It turns out you are in love," Sophia teased her.
"I think there\'s nothing wrong with being honest with your feelings and telling the guy about it," Zhen-Zhen responded to Alveena\'s query.
Alveena let out a soft giggle. "I know right. Thanks, Lillie. So I decided. I will confess my feelings to him during the Centennial Year Celebration."
"Who is the lucky guy?" Sophia asked her, feeling intrigued.
Alveena shook her head. "It\'s a secret, for now, just in case my love confession will be rejected."
Sophia: "Alright! Best of luck!"
Zhen-Zhen: "Fighting! You can do it."
Zhen-Zhen and Sophia cheered her up.
"I have something to share with you as well," Sophia also said to them shyly.
"Sure, tell us!" Alveena said eagerly.
Zhen-Zhen was also focused on Sophia, waiting for her next words.
"Matthew confessed to me a few days ago. He wanted to court me and I agreed, giving him a chance. Now, we are now exclusively dating!"
"Oh my gosh! I knew it! The two of you have a thing for each other." Alveena said enthusiastically.
Zhen-Zhen was also happy to hear that. She was now smiling from ear to ear. She and Tristan tried their best to ship them together and now the ship was sailing smoothly.
"Congratulations, Sophia! I\'m so happy for both of you!"
Meanwhile, Tristan together with the project team and other directors including Andrew were having a final meeting in the conference room when Matthew entered and informed them about a piece of bad news.
Everyone averted their gazes at Matthew.
"Sorry to disturb and interrupt your ongoing meeting but you need to hear this," Matthew said to them with urgency.
Tristan and Andrew exchanged glances with one another. They had a bad feeling about this.
"It\'s alright. No need to apologize. Besides, you are also part of this meeting. You just arrived since I sent you to do some errands for me," Tristan responded to Matthew.
"What happened Mr. Wilkins?" Andrew asked him.
"Our model for the product showcasing event just backed out today!"
