Chapter 0089 "Good evening, Grandma," I said into ue phone after I picked up the call. I tried to sound as casual as possible but I was dying to know why she called as the pleasantries seemed to stretch.
"How have you been, child? It's been quite a while," her familiar shrill voice filled the speaker of the phone. "I've been good, Grandma. How are you?" "I am fine, Sydney. So I called you to personally invite you to my birthday banquet that is happening on Sunday." I released a breath I didn't know I was holding.

I don't think it's appropriate forto attend the family's intimate occasions like this one." "What nonsense. You're family, you will always be family to me." My heart warmed at her declaration and I sniffed but I still intended to stand my ground. "I know, Grandma but... How about I celebrate with you privately? Just you and me." I glanced at Grace who seemed to be fully absorbed in our conversation. "Maybe with my friend too." "No, Sydney." I sighed, Grandma Doris had always been the type that always got whatever she wanted.
"You will attend my birthday banquet because I want you to. Besides," the pitch if her voice lowered and she sounded slightly dejected, "lately, I feel. my health deteriorating. I don't want to postpone meetings because I don't know how long I have left..." She trailed off and my heart reached out to her. I quickly interrupted her when she was about to start talking again. "Grandma, please no. Stop. saying that. You are very healthy and you will live long with the lot of us. I will attend your birthday banquet if it's what you want. You will seeon 125 DOM Sunday." 1 could hear the smile in her voice and the tone she adopted when she complained about her health was instantly thrown out the window as she chirped. "You must come. Apart from m thday banquet that you will be attending. I have a guy I want to introduo you," Grace and I raised our brows, a small smile on our lips as Doris sighed, "Oh Sydney. He is so handsand smart..I'm sure you'd like him.
I giggled, "Is this matchmaking I smell, Doris?" "What? No," She said in an exaggerated tone, "Nothing like that. I just would like you to meet a smart man and that's all." "Of course, that's all," I giggled.
She scoffed and said in a playfully stern tone, "Stop giggling, girl," then she hung up.
I shook my head, a small smile on my lips. "Doris will always be Doris," I muttered as I stared at the phone. I wish the rest were just like her.
Grace wiggled her brows, "There's a handsman, huh?" Then she reached out and lightly tickled me.

She finally let go. She clapped her hands. "I will design the best dress for your I caught her off with an endearing laugh, "Grace, relax, you don't have to design a dress for every of our outings. Save those designs for our well paying clients." She rolled her eyes, "Whatever. Even if I don't design a dress for you, I will dress you up for the event. The moment you step in there, you will turn heads "It's just an elderly lady's birthday party. It's no big deal," Llaughed as I went back to lay down on the couch.

Grace continued as if she hadn't heard the, "You will look so good that the man she to will fedi nya ntroduce you to will feel like the luckiest man to be introduced to such a stunning woman." "Relax, girl," I clutched my tummy as I laughed.
"I mean it though. You will look your best at the party," she muttered with a soft smile then lay down beside me, her hands going around my midriff. "So now that there is going to be a handsman," she wiggled her brows but I could tell that she was being serious. "Seems like someone might begin a new romance soon."
I smiled softly as I thought about it. Maybe. It was tto not just move on but move on to another man. I let my shoulders go up in a small shrug as responded with a smile, "I hope so." X Like RICH WOMEN? These women desperately want a mature men! JOIN NOW *Waming* these rich women will persue you.
