Welcome party [1]

"Oh!" was the only thing that came out from their mouth.

Francesca's phone suddenly rang and she picked it up immediately when she saw elder Shen was calling.

Elder Shen: [Hello little flower! Are you guys done with your treatment?]

Francesca: [Hello pa! Yes, we just finished it.]

Elder Shen: [Oh that is good!]

Francesca: [Pa?]

Elder Shen: [Yes little flower?]

Francesca: [Pa be honest with me! Why did you want us to go to a spa and do this whole treatment?]

Elder Shen: [Ehm...p..a...pa...hehe...Don't be angry little flower, pa wanted to throw you a welcome party.]

Francesca: [...]

Elder Shen: [Eh hello? Little flower? Little flower are you there?]

Francesca: [Yeah...pa]

Elder Shen: [Little flower are you mad at pa?]

Francesca: [...No, but next time can pa please discuss this with me before doing anything?]

Elder Shen: [Okay next time pa will ask little flower.]

Francesca: [Oki, We're thinking of going home now.]

Elder Shen: [Eh...Little flower how you and the girls already picked a dress to wear tonight?]

Francesca: [Oh no I almost forgot that we haven't pa.]

Elder Shen: [Then go to the nearest shopping center with the girls. Pa will send a bodyguard over to deliver pa's black card to you. Remember to come to this location pa is sending you before 6 pm.]

Francesca: [Pa you don't have to I have...Hello? Pa?]

"What happened?" asked Sophia.

"My old man just hung up on me?" said Francesca, surprised.

"What?" said both Sophia and Jennifer.

"My old man is throwing a welcome party for me, which is why he wanted us to go to the spa. He wants us to buy dresses for tonight too," said Francesca.

"Ah, well that's very cute of him," said Sophia, while Jennifer nodded.

"No, you guys are missing the point. He must have invited a lot of people," said Francesca anxiously.

"You will be fine, maybe he wanted to do this to show how proud he is of you," said Jennifer.

"Well yeah, but he could at least tell me that he wanted to throw a party for me," said Francesca.

"You're overthinking too much now Francesca, stop overthinking and let us enjoy this day," said Sophia and dragged both Francesca and Jennifer out.

The girls drove to a shopping center called Oriental Plaza Mall and saw Elder Shen's bodyguards waiting for them. The bodyguard greeted them and handed over the black card to Francesca. They went inside and took the elevator to the 3rd floor where the clothing brands were at. One hour went by and the girl came out looking all satisfied with a big shopping bag except Sophia who had like 4 shopping bags in her arms. All three of them left the luxury shopping mall and drove to the location elder Shen had sent them earlier.

Their cars stopped in front of a huge building looking almost like a mini palace. They went inside with their shopping bags and saw a big large hall with a few people running back and forth placing champagne glasses, desserts, and cakes on the table. There were two men on the second floor who was testing the lights too.

"Oh you girls came at the right time." said elder Shen and walked over to the girls.

Francesca turned her head to face elder Shen and was surprised over his outfit today. He wore the dark blue suit she brought him four years ago.

"The makeup artist assistant Yu called has come. So you girls should go up to the second floor to get ready." said elder Shen and walked away to take a call. The girls went upstairs and met the well-known makeup artist from South-Korea called Pony and her two assistants Hara and Yuri.

Assistant Yu came in with food when Pony, Hara, and Yuri were applying makeup on them. The smell of dry chili chicken, king mushroom with Japanese tofu, mixed vegetables with beef, and Stir fry e-fu noodles made everyone turns their heads towards him.

"Chairman Shen sent me to buy you girls some food." said assistant Yu and placed the food on the table before he went downstairs.

The girls started to eat happily once assistant Yu left. Jennifer and Sophia soon started to get full and asked the makeup artist to continue applying their makeup while Francesca was still munching on some delicious Stir fry e-fu noodles. The girls were finally done and got changed into their dresses. Sophia came out from the dressing room wearing a black sexy formal v-neck long sleeve dress with a golden belt and her black heels, her hair was tucked in a nice low bun, and wore grey hoop earrings. While Jennifer was wearing a besh long spaghetti straps v-neck gown with high slits on both sides and her nude heels. She had her beautiful hair down and wore a matching cute teardrop shaped necklace and earrings.

Francesca stopped eating her Stir fry e-fu noodles and took out her phone and started to take pictures of them, squatting in a different position like a professional photographer. "Yas queens!!!"

"Pfft, that's enough girl you should get ready now. You are the star for tonight and haven't even dressed up yet," said Sophia and chuckled.

"Looks likes the guests are coming now," said Jennifer and looked downstairs.

"Oh, then you guys could go downstairs first, I will be soon ready and join you guys," said Francesca.

"Oki but send us a message before u go down," said Sophia.

"Eh why?" asked Francesca.

"So we can take picture of this gorgeous person later on," said Sophia and gave her a wink before she left with Jennifer.

Francesca chuckled and sat in front of the big mirror so the makeup artist could continue applying makeup on her.

-Downstairs-

The guests were coming in greeting elder Shen and were happily chatting with each other. Elder Shen invited mostly businessmen, businesswomen, or family friends over. Some businessmen/businesswomen arrived with their son or the whole family to the party and shamelessly introduced their son to elder Shen like this party was some sort of a matchmaker party. Elder Shen only smiled and walked away once they were done introducing their son to him.

The moment he finished chatting with other businessmen, he signaled Assistant Yu to come. "Make sure all the lights works." Assistant Yu nodded and went upstairs to ask the electricians. The two electricians immediately checked if the spotlights were working before Francesca went downstairs but somehow the spotlights didn't work when they turned it on.

"Dude it doesn't work." said the electrician turning on and off the spotlights and turned the head of the spotlight to the side which made the head of the spotlights face the main entrance.

"What but it worked for a few hours ago." said the other electrician checking the light bulb. He turned around and found out that the mains plug wasn't plugged in and smacked the other electrician's head. "You stupid fool you didn't plug it in." The other electrician awkwardly scratched his head before he bent down to plug it in.

The lights went on and shone towards the main entrance and at the same time, the doors from the main entrance opened. Five people went inside and the girls squealed happily and lined up in two rows calling their names out.
