BXBX NOVEL Chapter 899 Club S & G
Lucy\'s brows pulled together when she noticed that Kimberly had seen the message but did not respond to it.
As she sat on the bed contemplating on what to do and whether to send a message to Dawn\'s account, her phone started to ring with a video call.
Seeing Sonia\'s name flash on the screen, she received the call with a smile, and propped the phone up on the backrest of the bed.
"Hey, Sony! How\'s it going?"
Sonia\'s face appeared on the screen, looking concerned. "Lu, did you know about Jade\'s engagement?" Sonia asked, her eyes narrowed suspiciously.
Lucy hesitated, sensing the tension in Sonia\'s tone. "Yeah, I knew."
There was a brief silence before Sonia spoke again, her voice tight with disappointment. "And you didn\'t tell me? Why would you all keep that from me, Lucy?"
Lucy sighed, sitting down on the bed. "Sonia, it wasn\'t personal. Harry only wanted a handful of people to know. It wasn\'t my place to share."
Sonia huffed, clearly upset. "I just wish you\'d told me. I feel so out of the loop. I can\'t believe Bryan would have let us miss it. I mean, Jade is my girl. If she\'s getting engaged I should be there. She planned mine after all."
"I understand," Lucy said softly. "But please don\'t be mad. It wasn\'t about keeping you in the dark. We\'re all just trying to respect Harry\'s wishes."
Sonia sighed, looking away from the camera for a moment. "Yeah, I guess. It\'s just hard. I hate feeling like I\'m the last to know."
"I know," Lucy said sympathetically. "But now that you know, what do you think we can do to help when Jade gets back? Tom is so worried about her, and I\'m sure Bryan is too. How can we help?"
Sonia paused, thinking. "Honestly, I have no idea. Maybe we could plan a girl\'s sleepover and spend time with her. Just to cheer her up."
"That is if she wants company," Lucy said thoughtfully.
"At least we have to try something. If she says she wants to be alone, we will let her be. We just need her to know she doesn\'t have to be alone if she doesn\'t want to," Sonia explained.
"Yeah. That\'s right," Lucy agreed. "But it depends on where she will be staying. Do you think Bryan would let you come over here for a sleepover if she decides to stay here?" Lucy asked Sonia rolled her eyes.
"It\'s been two weeks already. I need to get out of the house. I will tell him that we should visit you," Sonia said and Lucy nodded.
"That sounds great. I will have your room ready then. Just in case," Lucy said and Sonia nodded.
"Yeah. I feel so sad for her. She was crying so much when Bryan spoke with her. I can\'t begin to imagine how she feels," Sonia said and they both sighed.
"By the way, have you texted Kimberly yet? I spent most of the day looking at her wedding photos. Dawn looked so happy in the pictures," Sonia said and Lucy smiled.
"Yeah. I saw the pictures too. I texted her but she is yet to respond even though I can see that she saw my text already," Lucy said, and Sonia raised a brow.
"Why? Do you think maybe she is upset and doesn\'t want to talk to you anymore?" Sonia asked and Lucy rolled her eyes.
"Upset? With who? Me? If anyone should be upset between us, it should be me. She has no right to be upset. If she doesn\'t respond to my message I\'m just going to let her be. If it weren\'t for Dawn\'s sake, I wouldn\'t be reaching out to her in the first place," Lucy said, sounding annoyed, and Sonia grinned.
"Good. I like that you feel this way about it," Sonia said, and just then Lucy\'s phone buzzed again.
It was Candace. "Hold on, Sony. Candace is calling. Let me add her to the call. I think she wants to find out if I\'ve found out about the reason Harry changed his mind about the proposal," Lucy said before receiving Candace\'s call.
Lucy quickly merged the call, and soon Candace\'s cheerful face appeared on the screen. "Hey, Sony! What\'s up?"
"Sony, baby! How are you? And how\'s the little bun doing?" Andy\'s face suddenly popped into the video call, her expression enthusiastic.
Sonia smiled, "I\'m okay. And the bun is cooking perfectly. How are you two doing?"
"We are good. Wanted to find out if Lucy got the details about what happened yet. I wanted to call Jade, but I wasn\'t sure I should do that. You know, in case Harry never mentioned it to her," Candace said and Sonia raised a brow.
"How did you know about what is going on if you don\'t know that Harry mentioned it to her?" Sonia asked curiously.
"Harry called to say he changed his mind about the proposal and we shouldn\'t bother coming over anymore. He didn\'t give any other details. That sort of left us confused and worried," Andy explained. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Sonia exchanged a look with Lucy, and Lucy sighed. "From what I gathered, they had a misunderstanding. Jade got upset and reacted wrongly by packing up to leave, and that got Harry upset," Lucy said, not wanting to divulge the entire details since she had no idea why Harry didn\'t tell Candace everything.
"Just like that? What kind of misunderstanding would make her want to leave? And Harry isn\'t the type to get upset so easily," Candace said thoughtfully.
"Well, the issue right now is that he didn\'t only change his mind about the proposal, he asked for a break too," Sonia explained and watched as Candace\'s and Andy\'s jaws dropped and they exchanged a look.
"No way Harry would that. He adores Jade!" Candace said in disbelief.
"Just what was the misunderstanding about to have made Harry ask for a break?" Andy asked at the same time.
"It must have been quite serious," Candace said and Lucy nodded.
"Poor Jade. She\'s going to be so devastated," Andy said with a worried frown.
"Yeah. We were just discussing how to help her when she gets back tomorrow," Lucy explained. "Sonia suggested a girl\'s sleepover."
"That sounds like a good idea," Candace said.
"Yeah. That\'s the least we can do, since I\'m not sure what else we can do for her
"If I was there, I\'d take her clubbing. Sometimes you just need to let loose and forget your troubles for a bit."
As soon as Andy finished her sentence, she exclaimed loudly. "Oh my God! That\'s it!"
Everyone fell silent for a moment before Candace spoke. "Andy, what\'s going on? Why did you just yell?"
"I need to go clubbing," Andy said, excitement in her voice.
"All of a sudden? Why?" Candace sounded confused.
Andy grinned, "I just remembered that Cassidy owns Club Sodom & Gomorrah. That could be my way to reach him."
"Cassidy?"
"Why are you trying to reach out to Cassidy?" Lucy and Sonia asked in unison as they looked at her in confusion.
"Because we have unfinished business," Andy explained. "I need to see him and talk to him."
Candace\'s voice was firm. "Andy, we both know it\'s a bad idea for you to go there now. You don\'t know who you might run into there. We can\'t even go to our apartment for security reasons, what makes you think it\'s okay to go to the club where we worked?"
"I know, but I have to try. You know how important this is to me. There\'s a branch of S&G in Ludus, so maybe I can go there instead. Plus, I need to talk to Harry and Tom in person about managing my music career," Andy said thoughtfully.
There was a brief silence as everyone processed what Andy had said. Then Candace spoke. "Let\'s talk about it some more first."
"Sure. For now, let\'s focus on Jade and Harry. Harry is most likely not fine either," Andy said and Candace sighed.
"You\'re right. Maybe I will try talking to Harry again. And then I will reach out to Jade."
Sonia\'s voice softened. "I\'m glad we\'re all on the same page."
Lucy ended the call with a thoughtful expression. The idea of a girl\'s sleepover seemed perfect for Jade, who had always found solace in their shared moments of laughter and camaraderie.
She put her phone down, feeling a sense of satisfaction. They were going to make sure Jade knew just how much she was loved.
They would all stand by her side and help her through this tough time.
As for Harry, Lucy didn\'t know how she could be of help to him, but she was going to find a way to cheer him too. Harry had been there for her each time she had problems with Tom, and this was her chance to return the favor.
