Another day had passed, and it was only a few days before Melissa's big day. Seated in a restaurant, Melissa was all smiles with Celestine Lancaster across from her. She had gone shopping with Celestine and had just experienced VVIP treatment she had never encountered before.
They had security while they shopped, and the head manager escorted them throughout. They also had access to all boutiques and were given priority!
"For you."
Surprise overtook Melissa's face as Celestine Lancaster handed her a paper bag. She accepted it with gratitude, but her surprise remained as she glanced at the brand on the bag.
"My advance gift to you for your engagement," said Celestine. "I saw you looking at it earlier, so I thought you might like it."
Melissa bit her lips, containing her excitement. "Thank you. You didn't have to, but I do like it."
"Don't your father or Derek spoil you with these things?" Celestine quipped. "How could you not buy it when you liked it?"
