The Luna Choosing Game by Jane Above Story novel Chapter 151

Chapter 0151 

With the Second Ball only a few short days away, the dressmaking was underway and took up most of my time. My room had become something of a command center, with Charlotte, Elva, the nanny, Mark, and I as regulars. Susie visited quite often, sometimes with a maid or two in tow. 

Her gown, leopard–themed, she shared, was already completed. 

“The design wasn’t overly complicated,” Susie said. “The leopard–print fabric is what makes it.” 

“I’m sure it’s beautiful,” I told her. 

“So am I,” Mark added. When Susle looked at him, he quickly glanced away. 

She continued to watch him as she said, “Thank you, but I truly have little interest in this event.” 

Mark, surprised, finally glanced back at her. “But if you don’t do well, you might not make it through the 

elimination.” 

If she did stay, it would have to be at the selection of one of the princes. If Nicholas knew Susie and 

Mark liked each other, he might select her, just to help them be together. Although he tended to be a 

stickler for the rules, of which Susie and Mark were definitely breaking, by crushing on each other. 

I supposed there was no easy answer for them. Whatever time they had together was likely to be brief. 

“I know,” Susie said, a bit sadly. 

Mark frowned but didn’t say anything else. 

“Hold on,” I said, a few minutes later, as I put the finishing touches of a wolf mask of faux gray fur. “Elva, 

come over here.” 

She skipped over to me, and I placed it on her face. 

“Keep it right there a second,” I said. 

Diligently, she lifted her hand up and kept the mask in place. I tied the ribbons securely behind her head, 

keeping the mask in place. It was lightweight so the ribbon should be enough. I wanted to test it now, 

though, rather than chance it at the Ball. 

“See how that fits for a while, okay?” 

She nodded at once. Through the holes in her mask, her eyes were wide and bright. When she smiled, it 

was all crooked teeth and gums, 

“Look! Look! I’m a wolf!” She gave a little howl and then scurried around the room. 

Susie, laughing, started to chase her. 

I rose off my chair, about to join in, when I noticed Terry enter the room unannounced. He peered around 

the room without anything. 

When Mark noticed me stiffen, he followed the length of my gaze to Terry. 

“Oh, sir,” Mark dipped his head. “Forgive us. You should have made your presence known.” 

As he spoke, Susie skidded to a stop. She was in the back of the room near the window, and came not 

closer. 

Elva continued to run, until she came to me and noticed my tension. Once she spotted Terry, she hid 

once more behind my skirts. 

“Well, don’t let me disturb the good times occurring in this room,” Terry said with his snake–like smile. 

He walked further into the room and peered down at the assortment of fabric swatches Charlotte and I had fashioned into the semblance of a skirt. It was far from finished and unnerved me to see him taking.
