She's back (Morgan and Dante) novel Chapter 8

Morgan's POV

The tea party was on the rooftop room of the Loveson's Mansion. The room wasn't particularly a room but looked more like a luxurious apartment of its own. It had been well lit with golden lights on its inner walls at strategic places, to give the place an ethereal look.

There were flowers in their beds, close to the lights, she raised a veil over the apartment to give room for the golden lights to illuminate in their full glory. I caught myself smiling within. She should have just made it a night party if she was looking for such an effect.

And in the center of the main room, there was a table for ten. I recalled being here last year, for Mia's birthday, where she had almost fallen off the roof due to her drunken state. Typical Mia.

But today was much more different. Maybe because it was morning or maybe because it was just a tea party for the ladies.

But I was wrong. There, among eight of the women at the table was that bitch.

"You look gorgeous." A husky female voice snapped me out of my annoyance.

"Thank you, Mia." I turned to her. "And so do you." She was wearing a simple long-sleeved green flowery gown that stopped at her knees and a matching pair of green shoes while I was wearing a similar outfit, except it was white.

"Thank you." She smiled with a little courtesy. "Let's get you to the table shall we?" She hooked my arm with hers and walked me to the table, taking her seat.

I took a deep breath and walked to the only available seat, which happened to be beside the last person I wanted to sit with.

Mia with a wide smile, stood to welcome all the ladies at the table. "I welcome all of you respectable ladies of London and thank you for honoring my invitation. I want to especially thank one of us who happens to always be a bee..."

This caused giggles to ripple through the table, and I immediately knew that she was talking about me.

"But amazingly," she continued. "She's here with us. Let's give it up for the CEO of Rosewood Enterprise, Morgan Rosewood. "

A round of applause thunders around the table, even from the person beside me that I had been ignoring all this while. I was inwardly glad that she had decided to keep her mouth shut and not speak to me. Just as Mia was through with her speech, maids began to troupe in with tea cakes, cookies, snacks, and all kinds of tea.

"You never told me that you had become the CEO of Rosewood Enterprise."

"I didn't?" I asked with sarcastic surprise in my voice. "Oops."

"You sure are funny."

I shrugged, taking a bite of the piece of cake I had been served. "You taught me well."

"I sure did. So tell me..."

"So Morgan," Mia called cutting Nova short. "After all these years, how's life as a CEO treating you? "

"I'm sure it's treating her terribly," Nova said before I could even get an alphabet out of my mouth.

"I'm sorry what?" Mia asked tilting her head in curiosity.
