Chapter 75: Three friends Reunited

"Good morning, ma'am. the chef greeted. Shall I make your favorite breakfast?"

Lisa nodded, appreciating the chef kindness.

"Thank you,

"Hey, Mr. Jenkins, I'll be heading out soon to meet my friends," Lisa said to the butler.

"Yes, Mrs. Lisa, I'll arrange a car for you," he replied.

Lisa smiled and walked into her room to dress up. She then dialed her friend's number.

"Hello, Emma, what's up?" Lisa asked.

"Hello, sweetheart!" Emma's cheerful voice filled the line. "I was just snacking on some watermelon."

"I called Didi's line, but she's not picking up," Lisa complained.

Emma chuckled, her mouth full of watermelon. "She's upstairs taking a shower. Don't worry, she'll join us soon."

"What's up?" Lisa asked, curious.

"We miss you!" Emma said, pretending to cry. "You've been avoiding us for too long."

Lisa smiled. "Let's hang out today. I'm ready to catch up."

"Finally!" Emma exclaimed. "We've got so much to talk about. meet us at our new usual spot.

" Lisa smiled mischievously. "But I'm not familiar with this city yet, so if I get lost, you guys have to promise to come and save me."

Lisa joked, and Emma burst out laughing.

"You won't kill me, Lili," Emma teased, "Who would dare arrest our priceless treasure?"

Emma chuckled cutely, and Lisa playfully shot back, "Don't you know people are searching everywhere for rare and priceless treasures like me?"

Lisa winked, enjoying the lighthearted banter.

"Anyone who dares to mess with you will be dealt with directly by me," Emma said, her eyes flashing with determination.

Lisa burst out laughing. "Okay, tough girl, see you guys in 30 minutes. Where are we meeting up?"

"Let's meet at Hellen Shopping Store. We can do some shopping over there," Emma suggested.

"Sounds good to me," Lisa replied with a grin. "See you guys there."

Lisa's car came to a gentle halt in front of the majestic Hellen Loxirious boutique, its sleek exterior gleaming under the warm sunlight. The store's facade was a masterclass in understated luxury, with crisp white marble and floor-to-ceiling glass windows that seemed to stretch on forever. Delicate gold lettering above the entrance spelled out the Hellen Loxirious logo, exuding sophistication and glamour.

As Lisa gazed out of her car window, her eyes were drawn to the stunning visual display within. Mannequins draped in exquisite evening gowns and tailored suits struck elegant poses, showcasing the latest fashion trends. Sparkling jewels – diamonds, rubies, and emeralds – glinted from velvet pedestals, casting a mesmerizing allure.

The store's interior, visible through the expansive glass, was equally impressive. Soft, golden lighting illuminated the plush carpets and rich wood accents, creating an atmosphere of refined opulence. Elegant chrome fixtures and strategically placed mirrors added depth and sophistication to the space.

To the left of the entrance, a beautifully crafted window display showcased a stunning diamond-encrusted necklace, its centerpiece a magnificent sapphire that seemed to pulsate with an inner radiance. The surrounding glass case was etched with intricate designs, adding an extra layer of luxury to the overall presentation.

The Hellen Loxirious boutique was an oasis of high-end fashion and jewelry, beckoning passersby to enter and indulge in its world of unbridled elegance and refinement. Lisa couldn't help but feel drawn to the store's allure, her curiosity piqued by the promise of exquisite style and sophistication that lay within.

Here's a rewritten version with improved grammar and clarity:

She stepped out of the car, and the driver inquired, "Ma'am, shall I accompany you?"

"No thanks," Lisa replied. "You can head back now. We'll be hanging out with friends for a while, and you'd only get tired following us around."

The driver hesitated. "I'm sorry, ma'am, but I have strict orders from Mr. Lugard."

Lisa nodded. "Okay, I understand."

The driver still looked uncertain, but Lisa reassured him with a smile. "Really, it's fine. I'll be safe with my friends."

With that, Lisa walked away from the parking lot, leaving the driver to decide whether to follow instructions or obey Mr. Lugard's orders.

"Wow, our beautiful princess!" Didi and Emma exclaimed in unison, rushing towards Lisa with open arms. They wrapped her in a tight hug, holding her close.

"We missed you so much," they murmured, their voices filled with emotion.

Lisa's eyes welled up with tears, but she smiled, wiping them away. "I missed you too," she replied, her voice trembling.

"When you got married, I thought I'd lose you forever," Didi confessed, her voice laced with nostalgia.

"Thank God we're finally reunited once again," Emma added, beaming with joy.

The three friends held each other, basking in the warmth of their reunion, grateful to be together once more.

"Is that what that scoundrel did to you?" Didi asked, her eyes fixed on the fading scar on Lisa's right cheek.

Lisa's fingers instinctively touched the scar. "Yes."

Didi's face darkened with anger. "What did your husband, that rumored beast, do to the bastard who dared to harm you?"

Lisa's expression softened, and she smiled. "Don't call him that. He's not anything like the rumors say. In reality, he's—"

Emma cut in, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "See who's defending who? Someone's already falling in love here."

Lisa's cheeks flushed crimson.

"Who's fallen in love?" Lisa asked, attempting to feign innocence.

Didi turned away, addressing an invisible person. "You, of course. Is there anyone else?"

Emma and Didi burst into laughter, and Lisa's face turned an even deeper shade of red.

"Oh, she's blushing from her face to her ears!" Emma teased.

Lisa's face burned brighter still. "I'll deal with you two!" she exclaimed, playfully chasing after them.

Emma and Didi fled into the Hellen brand store, laughing uncontrollably. Lisa soon caught up, laughing alongside them.

"Wow, there are so many brand-new clothes here," Didi said with amusement, looking around the luxurious store. Emma and Lisa followed closely, scrutinizing the racks as they searched for the perfect finds.

Didi's eyes widened as she scanned the rows of designer dresses, trendy tops, and stylish pants. "I'm in shopping heaven!" she exclaimed. Emma chuckled and nudged her playfully. "Let's start with the sale section, shall we?" Lisa suggested, already heading towards the it.

Didi's eyes sparkled as she swooped in on a velvet-clad rack, running her fingers over the lavish fabrics. "Oh, Emma, look! A limited-edition Chanel collection!" Emma's eyes lit up, and she hurried over to inspect the designer pieces.

Meanwhile, Lisa emerged from the sale section, holding up a sleek Dolce & Gabbana dress. "Girls, I found this stunning number for 40% off! Can you believe it?"

As they continued their shopping spree, the trio migrated to the cosmetics counter, where a friendly sales associate greeted them with a warm smile. "Welcome, ladies! Would you like to try our newest fragrance, 'Midnight Bloom'?" Didi's curiosity was piqued. "Ooh, let me try it!"

Emma settled into a plush chair, allowing the associate to demonstrate the scent on her wrist. "Mmm, this smells exquisite!" Lisa nodded in agreement, her eyes scanning the various perfumes on display.

As they indulged in the finer things, their laughter and chatter filled the upscale boutique, drawing the attention of the store's owner, Mrs. Richmond. She smiled warmly, seeing the trio as the most beautiful new clients she has ever seen. "Ladies, I have something special to show you. Follow me."

Mrs. Richmond led them to a private room, filled with one-of-a-kind designer pieces and exclusive accessories. "These are our newest arrivals, not yet available to the public," she explained, offering them champagne and canapes.

Didi, Emma, and Lisa exchanged thrilled glances, feeling like VIPs in their own private shopping paradise.

"...'Oh my gosh, I've been wanting these sneakers forever!' Emma squealed, holding up a pair of sleek, black Adidas. Her friend, Didi, nodded enthusiastically, already clutching a handful of designer tops.

'This one's going in my bag for sure,' Didi said, admiring the logo on a trendy Gucci shirt. 'And look, they have the new Nike collection!'"
