My Boss My Secret Husband (Hazel and Logan)

Chapter

240

Now that the important locations were secured, the wedding felt more real than ever, and of course, the reporters quickly caught wind of the venues since paying the full amount wasn't something just anyone could do. Everyone close to the couple was excited to hear them talk about the wedding preparations.

With the news that the wedding plans were moving forward, two specific people sought out Deborah and Jayden to 'ask-demand' that they be involved in the wedding. Interestingly, one of those people showed up that morning at Deborah's office.

Deborah was discussing some pending matters with her father about new investments and stock market movements, as they needed to take advantage of buying and selling low-cost shares that had the potential to increase in value in the future. "Look, Debbie, these shares are promising," Nicholas began. "They're from a tree company, and we know what's coming up soon."

"Hmm... they'll increase in value in a few months, which could help us," she observed. "Also, ask them to look into companies involved in toy and decoration manufacturing because they're likely to see a seasonal spike due to Christmas. And check on food and hotel companies for the same reason."

"I'll talk to the research team and pass on the new instructions," Nicholas said, turning to brief the team on the new strategy.

Deborah smiled and began reviewing the data on her own when the phone on her desk rang.

"What's up, Tatiana?" Deborah asked as she answered the call.

"Ma'am, you have a visitor."

"Huh? But I don't have any appointments scheduled for today," she replied, still puzzled. Just then, the door to her office opened.

"Well, I don't need an appointment," declared a dark-haired woman as she entered the office.

"Carrie!" Deborah exclaimed, standing up to greet her with a hug and a kiss on the cheek. "What a surprise!"

"I finally have some free time since there aren't many events right now, but wait until the end of the month with all the Halloween parties-then I'll disappear again," Caroline said as she separated from the hug and made her way to the sofa in the office. "I see," Deborah said, inviting her to sit down. "Would you like some chocolate?"

"Yes, please."

"Tati..." Deborah began, but her secretary was already entering the office with a tray holding two cups of hot chocolate.

"Beat you to it! I figured you'd want it," Tatiana said, placing the tray of drinks on the coffee table next to

the sofa.

"Thank you," Deborah and Caroline said.

"So, how's my favorite boss doing?" Caroline asked.

"I'm good, though I'm a bit busy preparing for the last investments of the year."

"That sounds complicated."

"A little. We have to study all the companies and see which ones have potential for future growth, which will increase in their stock value, and that's where we make our profit."

"You seem really happy," Caroline noted, seeing the excitement in her friend's eyes. "But anyway, I came here to chat and demand something very, very important."

"Let me guess-something to do with the wedding?"

"Yes! You're going to let me do your makeup, right?"

"Of course, I already told David that you'll be my makeup artist."

"David? Wait... do you mean the David, the famous wedding planner?”

"Uh-huh."

"But... how... how did you get him? You have to book him almost a year in advance to even get an appointment."

"My mother-in-law pulled some strings."

"Oh my God, now I'm officially jealous."

"By the way, look, this is the design for the invitations," Deborah said, pulling out her phone from her pocket and showing her the images.

"Let me see," Caroline said excitedly, taking the phone. "Oh... it's beautiful, I can't wait to get mine."

"They're personalized for each guest, so just wait until they're ready," Deborah explained, taking her phone back and setting it on the coffee table. "And guess who picked the design?" "Let me guess... your mother-in-law?"

"Nope, it was James."

"What?! Seriously?"

Deborah smiled and began to recount the story.

"What an elegant place," Samantha remarked, admiring the waiting room where they had been brought to.
