For Chioma not to look stupid in front of Audrey when she arrives, she went to the market with Chisom and bought a handbag that was cheap and yet beautiful.
Through the window, Chioma saw that Audrey had arrived. She quickly took a deep breath and went quickly to open the door for Audrey.
‘Audrey, please come in,’Chioma said with a smile as she glanced at the breathtaking Audrey who was dressed in a black and white polka dot blouse. She paired the blouse with black skinny jeans and heeled booties and she topped off the look with a Dior cream coat.
Chioma offered Audrey a seat before heading for the kitchen, reappearing five minutes later with a hot cup of tea. She placed the tea on a side table beside Audrey, then went to the bedroom and came back with a colourful wrapped bag she had bought for Audrey.
‘Madam Audrey, I hope you’ll pardon me as I won’t be attending your birthday,’Chioma said as she gave Audrey the bag. ‘Please, do forgive me.’
The gift was wrapped, so Audrey didn’t know what was inside. Laughing, she generously accepted the gift.
‘Chioma,
I won’t accept your silly excuse,’Audrey chuckled, then pulled out a luxury bluish pink lace invitation box with rhinestone clasp from her bag and gave it to her. ‘You’re my close friend…’she paused. ‘I
hope you come. If you’re so busy, you can come, you can leave early. I insist
you come.’ She took a mouthful of her tea. ‘Chioma, I still need to invite
Chisom and Daniel. I should go. See you at my 18th birthday.’Audrey
stood up to leave. ‘Send me the home address of Chisom on Whatsapp. Will be
there tomorrow to give them my invite as well as ask Daniel to be my escort.’
