The Event Organizer

Chapter 18

There is nothing even remotely close to sophistication in any of them. I need to be involved in some kind of stimulating endeavor in order to be able to function properly.

"However, these dresses are anything but straightforward," the speaker said.

"Macy, you need to put an end to that! After giving it some thought, I've come to the realization that this is not what I want to happen.

Oh, my gosh! was the exact phrase that came out of my mouth, and after I finished saying it, I immediately palmed my face. My plans call for me to proceed with my investigation into additional examples as much as possible.

I'm sorry to have to tell you "no." She let out a deep sigh before closing her mouth again. I can't even begin to fathom how much work goes into organizing a wedding reception and reception dinner. The woman came clean and admitted that she was to blame.

This should not come as a surprise.

The person who was speaking stated that "it is natural to feel stressed out because this is not an easy task." I said this to her in an effort to put her mind at ease.

"No problem!" But I advise...

"What would you recommend we do?"

"First," Before turning off the laptop, she gave herself a brief moment of reflection. Do you happen to have any wine? Why don't we just kick back, relax, and watch a movie together?

"No." I responded by shaking my head as she let out a sigh. She did the same thing.

"Food?"

I attempted it once more, but this time I felt a shaking in my head.

"Snacks?"

It's very likely that she thinks that I never have anything worthwhile to say on this forum.

Despite this, there is cereal in the cabinet that I can use. By rolling her eyes, she communicated that she was uninterested in what I had to offer.

So, tell me, what do you typically take throughout the course of the day?

"I would say that I have a pretty good handle on the kitchen." Due to conflicts in our schedules, my sister and I have been unable to go grocery shopping together, despite our best efforts to do so.

It is reassuring to hear someone say, "You have me now; don't worry!" when they are sure of themselves. She gave me a shy smile and soft-spoken response while putting her hand on my arm, playing with her phone for a while, and maintaining eye contact with me throughout the entire exchange.

Penny and I had just finished a brief discussion on the activities that we both like to engage in when we have some time to ourselves, when the doorbell rang.

As she entered the room, she was carrying a large white bag that was stuffed with various items, including a bowl of ice cream, various snacks, and various DVDs.

Put this in the refrigerator as soon as you can after completing the previous step. Penelope has just handed me back my ice cream, which is completely melted at this point.

"There actually wasn't any requirement or demand for you to-"

I felt obligated to ask, "Are we close friends?"

Friends.

Since Jasmine, just the sound of that name makes me want to run away, and as a result, I've never had the courage to bestow that honor on anyone else.

, with a resounding assertion that "Yes, we are". I gritted my teeth and tried to force a smile on my face, but it was difficult.

Permit me to preheat the oven while you go pick up the takeout order that my secretary has prepared for you while you have been gone. She has done so while you have been gone. Penny was the one who issued the command.

Your concerns have been addressed, ma'am. I make light of the situation by saying it in a joking tone, and her response to my humor is to laugh at it.

Penelope is without a doubt one of the most charitable individuals that I've ever had the privilege of calling a friend.

When I had finished retrieving the food and closing and locking the door, I only then realized that she had altered the appearance of my living room. She had been successful in drawing all of the shades and turning off all of the lights in the house, in spite of the fact that it was still light outside. The only source of light was the television, which also served as the only source of sound.

"Would you be so kind as to have a seat?" The program is about to begin in a few moments. I couldn't help but break into a grin when Penelope, while sitting on a plush rug that she was holding on her lap, waved at me from where she was sitting.

Indeed, a genuine grin.

It had been a long time since I had gone to the movies with anyone other than my sister, and it was wonderful to be treated as a friend rather than an employee for a change. I went to the movies with a group of people who were from my church.

We gorged ourselves on some delectable Chinese food, an assortment of tasty snacks, and almost the entirety of a massive serving of chocolate ice cream while watching three separate movies.

As we were leaving the theater, we noticed that our stomachs were more full than they normally are, so we proceeded to roll around on the ground while holding them.

We continued our inquiry into one another's families as we made our way to my bedroom after finishing up our discussion in the living area.

Penelope is, in fact, extremely palatable, much like a sugar plum.

"Alexis?! Alexis!?" One could make out a voice coming from the area below.

I quickly gathered my composure, smiled nervously at Penelope, and headed downstairs after giving her an anxious look. After going downstairs, I found Sophie having a good time and laughing at what she was doing.

Even though I had no idea what was going on, it made me happy to see her so excited that she grabbed a hug from me and squealed like a child who had just experienced her first kiss. Even though I had no idea what was going on, it made me happy to see her so excited that she grabbed a hug from me. Despite the fact that I had no idea what was going on, the fact that this made me happy made me happy.

"I have some exciting news for you, Alexis!" This was the assertion that she made while displaying a broad grin on her face.

Say it! As I attempted to fire back at her, she grabbed both of my hands and held on tight.

That was a marriage proposal to her! In response to her outburst, which she had initiated, I shrieked and howled with laughter.

"Congratulations," I replied as we continued to go around together, spinning in circles.

She started a sentence with "Alexi-," but then she stopped speaking abruptly as her gaze became increasingly focused on something else.

I was able to locate Penelope by following the path of her gaze, which led me to the conclusion that she was standing at the top of the stairs and observing us.

Oh... I had no idea you were traveling with someone else. She spoke in a hushed tone, despite the fact that her face was flushed with embarrassment.

I apologize for having to be the one to wake you both up, but I needed to let her know that I would be leaving right away. When Penelope apologized, she did so in a cool and collected manner, and her words reflected this.

It does not in the least bit bother me. Because I'll be in my room for the time being, you and your friend Lexi are free to hang out together. Sophie's grin was as broad as the stairs, and her laughter was contagious as she ran up them.

Knowing that Mark is committed to her enjoyment makes me happy, especially considering how overjoyed she is about the possibility of it happening.

"Congratulations." As Penny walked past Sophie on the staircase while Sophie was going up, she made a comment to her.

"Hey, Alexis, how are you doing?" Penelope murmured something while glancing at me with suspicion.

Shit. What exactly do you want me to say?

My sister is the only person who ever calls me Alexis because that is my middle name, and no one else ever does. As soon as I had finished my response, she flashed a warm smile in an extremely sympathetic direction towards me.

"Oh. Why on earth have you not brought it to me prior to that point?

Because you were already calling me Mackenzie, I didn't feel it was necessary to change my name in order to avoid the confusion that it would have caused if that had happened. That would have made things even more confusing.

Do you agree that Alexis is a very beautiful name? Kyle is on the lookout for a person with a name that is similar to yours. After being questioned, she admitted having the knowledge.

"Is he?"

The idiom "Oh, it's top secret anyway" is based on the proverb "Oh, it's top secret anyway."

It would appear that the woman is aware of my position and can appreciate it.

I'm going to head back to my place so I can get caught up on some work while you go see your sister. The following portion of her sentence was then carried out.

Send me a text message as soon as you get inside your house.

It's as good as finished as it gets! Bye!"

"Bye!"

After leaving the room and closing the door behind me, I let out a huge sigh of relief and walked out of the building.

It was a tremendous stroke of luck that nobody got hurt in the accident.

"I am so sorry; I had no idea that you were going to have a visitor." I was completely unaware of it. Could it have been Kyle? When Sophie asked me about it, I simply had no way of understanding the possibility that it presented.

To illustrate this point, let me give you an example: "Well, sister, I have a lot to tell you about the last few days." I let out a sigh of relief before extending my hand to shake hers.
