That way, they would have rocked out for a full day and night, making Walter’s birthday a total blast.
However, even the best–laid plans could go sideways.
Walter, eyeing Minnie all prepped and primed, got a wild idea to head to the ship early and hang tight.
s just did
The Gordons had poured a fortune into that cruise ship, and it was the epitome of luxury. Words not do it justice.
They stepped into the luxurious, romantic restaurant, bathed in soft light with violin music floating through the air–everything Minnie had ever wished for. She happily ordered red wine and steak, ready for a candlelit breakfast date with Walter.
However, after just half a glass of wine, Minnie was out like a light and slumped over right in front of Walter.
Walter? He did not even bat an eye. With a casual wave, he had the bodyguards whisk Minnie off to her room and brushed it off.
The restaurant, once a haven of romance, underwent a lightning–fast transformation. Its decor then dazzled with splendor, every detail of the interior from design to the last stroke of paint was executed with flawless precision.
Atop the cruise ship’s highest deck, Walter stood with a wine glass in hand, gazing down at the petite figure who strolled aboard with an easy grace. A subtle smile played on his lips.
He had never considered inviting Minnie to celebrate his birthday on that luxurious vessel.
Minnie, without the influential shadow she trailed behind her, would not even make the guest list for his ship. The thought of her mocking his dear Evangeline was laughable.
He wa
was the star, and he wanted nothing more than to share the sea’s sunrise–a symbol of pure joy–with Evangeline alone.
As the birthday approached, he had already crafted a plan to deal with the troublesome Minnie. Before long. David, who had escorted Evangeline back, located Walter and quickly returned to deliver his update. “Mr. Gordon, Mrs. Gordon is back safe and sound. Anything else you need me to do? Maybe something about Ms. Kast?”
David was complicit in Walter’s scheme and knew exactly what was on his mind.
Minnie was important, but she was nowhere near as important as Evangeline.
“No need. If the seller wasn’t lying, she’ll be out cold until ten tomorrow morning.
Ten in the morning. David noted the time internally.
By then, the sunrise would have faded, and for Walter, the timing would be perfect.
That guy? He’s like an old buddy to us and is reliable.”
David’s hint was crystal clear: ‘Minnie wasn’t going to stir anytime soon. Enjoy your birthday bash, Mr. Walter Gordon.”
