“A work thing? Jude, your excuses are the worst ever.” Sophie rushed to say but soon, it all made sense when he continued explaining the situation. “If you had told me, I could have brought some donuts.. if you’re kissing ass, you have to do it better.” She continued, making a face before cracking into a soft laughter. Letting him examine the envelope, the brunette could almost relate to Jude’s excitement if she wasn’t as nervous. Yeah, the big day was coming and all she could think about was about this chapter that was closing. “Of course I can, yeah.” She replied, “Don’t go all the way and wear a tuxedo, okay? Alex said something about signs - don’t even think about it. Dinner after the ceremony yes, then we’re going out. Make sure you charge your phone, alright?”
“He doesn’t want donuts, Sophie,” Jude snorted, as if that suggestion was ridiculous. The man liked the finer things in life, not a $12.50 box from Krispy. “What signs?” he said, quirking a brow. “I won’t go full tux, don’t worry, just something casual-formal and nice,” he added with a smile. He prayed a certain someone wouldn’t be there, but even if he was, he’d make sure to sit as far off as possible. “Oh yeah, I’ll bring spare battery packs, I promise,” he said, just as he noticed the receptionist come back into the room. “I’ll be taking a million photos and shit after all.”
“Sir, the reception area is for incoming guests,” she called out to him, after a clear look of displeasure on her face that said Jude shouldn’t be here.
“Yes. Just one moment,” he said, shooting her an inauthentic smile before turning his attention back to Sophie. “I feel honored that you came to hand deliver the invite yourself. How old school of you. Thank you, Miss Daniels,” he teased, and with the free hand that wasn’t clutching his towel, he took ahold of hers and kissed the back of Sophie’s hand, all fancy like.
