CHAPTER 45

Diana gave her a handkerchief which she used to wipe her tears away. It was a good thing that her makeup was waterproof otherwise she would have messed everything up.
She didn’t get the chance to say something back as the ceremony officially began. She clapped her hands as her husband looking so dashing in his black tuxedo walked towards the pulpit to make the first remark.
She didn’t even listen to a single word he said, all she could see was how handsome and dashing he was. She just wanted to get the hell out of there and take him home. The thought of him being gawked at by so many eyes in the banquet hall was just so infuriating.
Sean was married to her and yet some women were so daring to flirt with him. How dare they try to snatch her man from her? She heard people clapping and she just did the same.
Sean came down and he walked to where she was seated. He sat next to her and placed his hand on top of hers. She smiled at him and he did the same to her.
The ceremony went on very smoothly with a lot of officials making their speeches and the last person to talk was the chairman who made a great speech outlining the successes, failures and the future of the company as a whole.
He was a man full of vision, she just saw that now. If he wasn’t a businessman he would make a great actor. These people were too good at fooling others, she realized.
After the ceremony came to an end, it was time for them to mingle around. Sean disappeared for a while and she was worried. Where did he go to leaving her alone with such old people?
She could tell and see that she was the only person who was the youngest in the whole hall. She walked towards the table with some snacks and she picked up some fruits and began to help herself.
“I wonder if you are a worm or what!” Wendy said as she approached her. She just couldn’t believe that Wendy would attack her in such a public place like this.
“I am not in the mood to fight with you tonight. I am feeling a bit tired,” Selena said as she looked at her sister in law.
“Don’t worry I am not here to fight with you. I have realized that with you I can never win. It is time for me to stop doing this anyway. I should behave like an adult and I am very sorry for being an asshole to you. So forgive me and let’s get along,” Wendy apologized and Selena choked on her fruit.
Wendy gave her a glass of water immediately which she took and drank. After saving herself she looked at Wendy with shock in her eyes.
“Are you trying to play some kind of game with me?” she asked not believing a single word Wendy had just said.
“I mean it, let’s call it a truce,” Wendy said.
“She means it,” Sean said as he approached the tow of them.
“You know about this?” Selena asked her husband as he stood right next to her.
“Yes, so let’s all be friends now and forget about everything. Can you do that for me?” Sean asked her, she couldn’t say no to him at all.
“Let’s do that then. I hope that we will not fight or be enemies again in the future,” Selena said with a smile and they all smiled.
It was a good night after all. They had just resolved a long standing battle. She could tell that her husband had made it possible, how he did it; she just wasn’t ready to know. She was just glad that she didn’t have to fight with Wendy every single time they meet.
What she was now hoping for was for the whole family to sit at the same table and have a decent meal without being anxious or planning against each other’ just the thought of her having dinner with them after the whole thing ends was just frightening.
“This is good then. See you later,” Wendy said and left.
Selena looked at her husband and pouted.
“What’s wrong?” he asked Selena and she practically rolled her eyes at him and he flicked her forehead lightly before she yelped but it wasn’t loud.
“Why did you do that?”
“Who taught you to roll your eyes at your husband in public?” he answered her with a question and she went silent.
“Come here,” Sean said and pulled her to a chair and made her seat.
“I’m sorry, I was just worried and concerned,” she said.
“I know that you can’t bear to part with me for a second, which is the reason why I rushed back as fast as I can,” Sean said and she smiled at him.
“So, where were you?” she asked him since the mood was better now.
“I went to buy you this,” he said as he opened the box he was holding when he arrived. She was amazed by what she saw.
He had bought her some flat shoes. He was really worried about the heels from the get go. Sean removed the heels gently from her feet and he put the pumps on her. They felt so comfortable than the heels.
“Thank you, I feel like I can breathe now,” she said feeling grateful.
“That is good then. I wouldn’t want you tripping or having any crazy incident. Now you can walk and do whatever you want,” Sean said as he put the heels in the shoe box, he just removed her pumps.
“I want to walk with you,” she told him and he nodded his head.
“Let’s do that then while I introduce you to some friends of mine,” he said as he stood up.
“Okay, let’s do that,” she said as she stood up too.
