Two Worlds Apart

Chapter 122

Eric's POV•

"Sure, I'll go with you" Daniel agrees "I already agreed to use that venue because you asked me so, let's just go ahead"

"So, she's still eager to ruin things?" He had to asks

I nod, pouring drink into his glass "yeah, and if I'm being honest, I really don't care. I don't think anything she tires will work this time....and I hardly doubt Theresa would be stupid enough to go after Courtney, again."

"The whole thing's starting to get out of hand. Does she even have a valid reason she hates this girl?"

I shake my head "not even a single reason. It obviously can't be because she came from a lower background. Currently, her background doesn't even show in her status."

"Barbara has something else, she's just not ready to say"

I stand to my feet "and I don't care to know. Let me get ready so we can head out"

The last thing I need is my mum ruining my day.

Courtney's POV•

"Justina, I already told you I'll be back by next year....do you miss me that much?"

"Well yeah, it's suddenly so boring here."

I let out a sigh "I'll try my....."

I get cut off by a grumbling Sophia. She falls beside me on the couch, her eyes glued to her phone.

"Um... Justina, I'll call you back" I hang up and place my phone down "what's wrong?"

"I just spoke to the event planner for the wedding, you won't believe how much she charged me."

I fold my arms and lean my back on the couch "how much?"

"$4000, can you imagine?"

I fold my lips in to avoid smiling.

"To worsen everything, the caterer said she'll only be able to do the job at $100 per person, there's also the cake.... Courtney, I'm stressed out"

I let out a sigh "Sophy, you and Jeff should bother about with your outfits, the venue and the souvenirs. I'll foot the catering and the event planning as a wedding gift"

Her mouth suddenly falls open. She sits at the edge of the chair "are you serious?"

"You sound surprised" I point out

"Of course I'm surprised. That's a lot of money"

I sigh "Sophy, enough, please"

"But, Courtney....."

I cut in "Sophia"

She folds her lips in to stay quiet

My phone starts vibrating and I pick up to an unknown number.

"Hello?"

"Hi, Miss Jones, good afternoon. I'm the babysitter Mrs Gloria said you needed"

"Oh"

Well, I can't take Natalie with me tomorrow for the party and I don't know who exactly to trust, so, Gloria recommended someone from an agency.

If anything happens to my baby, oh Lord have mercy on them.
