Arranged Marriage: Beneath The Rumors

Chapter 76: Three Friends Reunite

"Good morning, ma'am. the chef greeted. Shall I make your favorite breakfast?"

Lisa nodded, appreciating the chef kindness.

"Thank you,

"Hey, Mr. Jenkins, I'll be heading out soon to meet my friends," Lisa said to the butler.

"Yes, Mrs. Lisa, I'll arrange a car for you," he replied.

Lisa smiled and walked into her room to dress up. She then dialed her friend's number.

"Hello, Emma, what's up?" Lisa asked.

"Hello, sweetheart!" Emma's cheerful voice filled the line. "I was just snacking on some watermelon."

"I called Didi's line, but she's not picking up," Lisa complained.

Emma chuckled, her mouth full of watermelon. "She's upstairs taking a shower. Don't worry, she'll join us soon."

"What's up?" Lisa asked, curious.

"We miss you!" Emma said, pretending to cry. "You've been avoiding us for too long."

Lisa smiled. "Let's hang out today. I'm ready to catch up."

"Finally!" Emma exclaimed. "We've got so much to talk about. meet us at our new usual spot.

" Lisa smiled mischievously. "But I'm not familiar with this city yet, so if I get lost, you guys have to promise to come and save me."

Lisa joked, and Emma burst out laughing.

"You won't kill me, Lili," Emma teased, "Who would dare arrest our priceless treasure?"

Emma chuckled cutely, and Lisa playfully shot back, "Don't you know people are searching everywhere for rare and priceless treasures like me?"

Lisa winked, enjoying the lighthearted banter.

"Anyone who dares to mess with you will be dealt with directly by me," Emma said, her eyes flashing with determination.

Lisa burst out laughing. "Okay, tough girl, see you guys in 30 minutes. Where are we meeting up?"

"Let's meet at Hellen Shopping Store. We can do some shopping over there," Emma suggested.

"Sounds good to me," Lisa replied with a grin. "See you guys there."

Lisa's car came to a gentle halt in front of the majestic Hellen Loxirious boutique, its sleek exterior gleaming under the warm sunlight. The store's facade was a masterclass in understated luxury, with crisp white marble and floor-to-ceiling glass windows that seemed to stretch on forever. Delicate gold lettering above the entrance spelled out the Hellen Loxirious logo, exuding sophistication and glamour.

As Lisa gazed out of her car window, her eyes were drawn to the stunning visual display within. Mannequins draped in exquisite evening gowns and tailored suits struck elegant poses, showcasing the latest fashion trends. Sparkling jewels – diamonds, rubies, and emeralds – glinted from velvet pedestals, casting a mesmerizing allure.

The store's interior, visible through the expansive glass, was equally impressive. Soft, golden lighting illuminated the plush carpets and rich wood accents, creating an atmosphere of refined opulence. Elegant chrome fixtures and strategically placed mirrors added depth and sophistication to the space.

To the left of the entrance, a beautifully crafted window display showcased a stunning diamond-encrusted necklace, its centerpiece a magnificent sapphire that seemed to pulsate with an inner radiance. The surrounding glass case was etched with intricate designs, adding an extra layer of luxury to the overall presentation.
