Lloyd Perold

Everyone was shocked to the bones when the news of Rupert Benton's engagement broke out. It was surprising because the lucky girl was said to be a plain Jane, who grew up in the countryside and had nothing to her name. One evening, she showed up at a banquet, stunning everyone present.

She asked as Ashley rolled her eyes, "That idiot, Anna, is my boyfriend, and Daniel's fine," she replied as Anna huffed, "What about Jake, you guys were head over heels for each other," she said as Ashley sighed, "Well, we went our separate ways, we are now strangers to one another," she said as Anna chuckled, "You know it's really funny," Anna said as Ashley furrowed, "What is?"

"You're ridiculous, Anna," she said as Anna's endless laughter finally came to an end, "But in all seriousness, I have a feeling something is going to happen," she said as Ashley rolled her eyes for the second time, "You're being ridiculous, Anna," she said earning an airy giggle, "Whatever, Ash, don't make me tell you, I told you so," she said as Ashley scoffed, "Yeah, whatever, I gotta go, I'm late for work," she said before ending the call.
