Chapter 34

"Hello princess!"

Sinu spoke as she delicately enter the office looking on at Lauren working away on a recent project set to earn her millions in investment, Lauren's green orbs happily fly up to meet her gaze dragging her fingertips away from the battered keyboard to pay her full attention to the woman in front who stood hand in hand with her baby sister in law Sofi, Lauren issue a small wave to the younger girl who instantly smile back with a beaming rainbow of joy

"Hey! What's up?"

Sinu let go of her daughters fingers letting her run over to the couch happily playing with the toy she had bought with her as Sinu walk over to Lauren's desk perching lightly across the plated glass

"How does it feel knowing all of the wedding plans are finished! Are you excited?"

She beamed as Lauren smile back wiping at her forehead, the planning was seemingly easy given the dedicated team of assistants she had that managed to effortlessly take care of everything under her and Camila's supervision, they took care of everything from music to food.. even the crystal white dresses they would both wear on their big day only a week away from this moment

"Really excited! But also kinda nervous? It's pretty intimidating to be honest"

She trailed off as she look down into the desk, Sinu quickly lift her chin back up into her eyes smiling comfortingly before pulling a small stone from her pocket handing it into Lauren's palm wrapping her fingers delicately around it as she place it against her chest

"It's a sacred stone from the city I was born, it represents eternal love and strength, it guide me through my marriage with Camila's father.. now it belongs to you! Don't be afraid my darling, you will have the time of your life!"

Lauren smiled looking down at the stone in her hand admiring its glistening beauty with soft appreciative eyes

"Sinu... you didn't have to give me this... but thank you.. that's.. so sweet!"

She spoke smiling back at the woman with a full heart, Sinu reach her finger tips out to stroke the girls shoulder with a look that made Lauren feel she'd known the woman forever, the look of pure dedicated love and security that she craved unknowingly ...

"I wanted to sweetheart! Anyway! Camila said she'll be right up for that meeting if you're so me and little lady over there will leave you to it! But if you need anything you know where I am!"

Lauren smiled happily as she shuffle in her chair waving the little girl goodbye which caused her to run over and throw her body into her stomach... she couldn't resist a Lauren cuddle... after a sweet embrace the younger girl and her mom swiftly left the room leaving Lauren checking the time before pulling out her phone to motion her wife in speeding up given the swift arrival of the men they were yet to talk with... she wasn't the best with time keeping as it was so Lauren often resort to a little trickery
