(Mature Language 18 +; Read Chapter 29 First!!)

"Attention everybody! I am your wonderful, super sweet, amazingly cute Cici and I am the event manager for Hazel and Ricardo's engagement party this evening." Cici announced with a wide cheeky smile playing on her face while Sierra who sat next to her clapped for her.

Yes, these two girls were planning the engagement event with Cici as the head and Sierra as her assistant.

"And, who chose her?" Erasto whispered looking at his overly excited wife who was busy discussing the plans with the family while Xander chuckled softly and whispered back, "Who do you think?"

Eyeing everyone Erasto rolled his eyes and whispered while Xander chuckled again, "Well, I am sure it was everyone. I mean look at them. They all are listening to her so obediently."

True, everyone including Isabella and Leonardo were listening to her with full concentration. What irked him more was Alessandro. While everyone was sitting straight and hearing her speak, Alessandro being the overly dramatic man had hunched forward with his elbows resting in his lap and chin tucked in his palms like a little obedient boy.

"So, as decided my beautiful nonna and nonno will handle the songs section." Cici said and Sierra ticked across the point 'songs' while everyone clapped their hands and hooted for the elder couple.

"Of course sweetheart! Count me in. I am so excited. I have a huge collection of beautiful melodies." Leonardo said swaying his body almost imagining those old classics while Isabella rolled her eyes at him and slapped on his arm playfully adding, "Old man, they are not looking for 'old' songs. Now zip it and let her continue."

As everyone broke into a series of laughter, Leonardo glared at his wife and Isabella clearly disregarded those glares like every other day.

"What about the food and drinks department?" Sierra asked looking at the next point in the list while Cici shot her a smile and pointed towards Cynthia and Katherine saying, "Well, obviously with our wonderful master chefs with us, who else can we select? Ma and momma are the best ones to look after the food department."

As the ladies gave these girls thumbs up looking at the menu, Cici looked at the men and said, "As far as drinks section is concerned, I think our wonderful papas got it covered."

"Oh yes of course! Everything is covered." Alexander said proudly with a super sweet smile playing on his face while Alessandro looked at Katherine and raised his collar adding, "Well what can you expect from us best friends? We are a team and get things done in just seconds unlike you ladies. Huh!"

As Cynthia giggled cupping her mouth, Katherine rolled her eyes and gave him a tight smile saying, "Keep saying that and I will stop the little amount of cheese intake from your diet."

Of course she earned an angry glare from him but who was he kidding? She didn't even pay any heed to his glares and simply got back to the menu discussions with Cynthia.

Oh you poor baby Andro!

"Well my papa deserves that. Anyway, I think this event management meeting is over. Let's watch something on Netflix." Erasto whispered getting up from the chair while Xander stood up too asking, "Oh yeah, I think they have released a few good movies yesterday."

As these two best friends completely disregarded the ongoing meeting and started moving away, the girls shot each other a known look.

"Hello? Where do you think you both are going?" Sierra asked crossing her arms across her chest while Xander shrugged off his shoulders saying, "To go and watch something on Netflix..."
