“Well, I heard the others talking that Harry left these courses.” “
‘What? why? “
"Nobody knows, but we hear a rumor that he will soon move to Austria. Anyway, it doesn't matter much because he is already very fortunate as the only prince of the Hudson family.”
“Hmm, but I like the down-to-earth nature he never showed off as other rich people do."
“Yes, you are right. Well, Eva, I have to tell you something. You know I shifted to an apartment. It’s a small place, but enough for me. So tomorrow is my birthday, and I just arranged for a small birthday party, so I will love it if you attend it.”
Eva took some moments to notice her words, so Jacey again continued.
“I know it’s not like some lavish party like your birthday was, you know what? Forget it. I mean, forget this invitation. I can understand your situation.”
“What? No! I was just zoned out. It’s been a while since I attended a proper party. And you know I am also not rich like the Smith family. I am just a guest for them, and about that party, what should I say? It was their wish, so I didn’t refuse. Now tell me, how could you assume I am only interested in some high society parties?
“So you are coming right?"
“ Yes, definitely. “ But suddenly some thought troubled Eva, so she again looked troubled. Jacey noticed her troubled expression and inquired,
“Now what? any problem?
“No, actually, you must have invited others too."
Jacey understood her dilemma. She knew how some classmates troubled Eva some days before.
So she smiled and replied,
“I know what you are thinking; don’t worry, as I am only inviting you from this class, but I will call harry and invite him too
And my other friends who were coming to my party are my buddies from school time. That’s all.".
Eva gave a wide smile at her. "Wow! Then we will have so much fun, and I hope Harry also joins us. You know I have to apologize to him as I couldn’t invite him to my birthday party. He will come, right?
“I don’t know. I will invite him though, then let’s see. It will be good if he makes it to the party. Eva, I will message you my new address, OK? “
The rest of the day, both friends keep discussing that party. Eva was getting excited, like a child who got her favorite candy
That day, William arrived to pick her up as Stephen was busy. When William arrived, Eva felt delighted and relieved that she didn't have to bear the devil's presence again.
Wiliam noticed Eva was gleaming in happiness. He was happy to see her like this, as Eva was still upset by Michael’s unexpected departure
On the way back home, Eva told William excitedly about Jacey’s party invitation. Eva politely asked his permission to attend this party
William thought for a second and then allowed her to attend that party. Eva thanked William wholeheartedly, but William knew that his overprotective son, Stephen, did not appreciate this party invitation.
That night at dinner, only William and Rose joined Eva for dinner as Steve and Stephen were busy with some business party. Eva thanked her stars for not facing Stephen all day. She did a silent prayer in her mind to make Stephen busier in his work for the rest of the days, at least until she was here. She happily finished dinner and went to sleep
The next morning, Eva rushed to the dining room for her breakfast, as she was late for her classes. First, she had a long talk with her friends about the
Party. Her friends were fortunate to see her happy. So in all these discussions, she slept late and as a result; she was late for her classes
The moment Eva settled for breakfast, she started munching the food in a hurry
“Take it easy, dear; it’s ok if you are late; nobody is going to scold you."
"No, Rose, I am late today." While talking, she coughed hard, and the couple panicked. Rose passed water to her and patted her back
At the same moment, Steve and Stephen arrived in the dining room. They were also late, as last night they were late for the party.
