When Mia heard that, she knew what Jasmine wanted to say.
After a moment of silence, Mia said, "You're aware of the policies at Aide Castle Hotel. Besides, all the reservations for this year are full. Unless there's a cancellation or a transfer, we won't be able to secure a spot for your banquet."
"Mia, don't worry. I won't let you down. And I won't let Luna have her way. My dad already made the reservation, and there's no way I'm giving it to Asher." Jasmine would never let this matter slide.novelbin
But at the moment, the most pressing issue wasn't just finding a way to host a banquet at Aide Castle Hotel. It was about securing her father's reservation and using it for her mother's birthday instead of wasting it on a welcome party for Asher.
"So, have you thought about how you're going to persuade your father to change his mind? Luna isn't going to give up this opportunity easily. For her, hosting the event at Aide Castle Hotel is the ultimate move to flaunt her new status," Mia remarked.
"I know, but I won't let that bitch succeed."
Seeing Jasmine's determined expression, Mia figured she had a plan and didn't press further.
It wasn't easy to change Raymond's mind, but if Jasmine accepted Mia's advice to welcome Asher, Luna would undoubtedly be at a position of advantage. It depended on how Jasmine handled the situation herself, as she had her own obstacles to overcome.
Jasmine strode confidently toward her father and stood proudly by his side. Her upbringing and education set her apart from Luna. Even though Luna had been trying to change the way she carried herself recently, it was just a facade and she was easily seen through.
Soon, all attention turned to Jasmine, who effortlessly commanded the room and drew smiles from everyone. Meanwhile, Luna looked like a mere bystander and was left on the sidelines. Luna felt embarrassed, but she still forced a smile. Despite her internal anger, she couldn't let it show. This was her first public appearance, and she couldn't afford to make a bad impression.
Mia was relieved when she observed Jasmine regain her composure. She approached Raymond with a cocktail in hand and greeted him warmly, "Mr. Shelbert, thank you for making time to attend this event despite your busy schedule."
He accepted the drink and gave her a courteous nod. "Since you're so close to my daughter, I had to come and show my support."
Mia smiled and was about to toast him when suddenly, Luna stopped him. "Remember, your health comes first. The doctor advised against alcohol. Have you forgotten?" she reminded him. "Oh, I almost forgot about that. Thanks for the reminder. But I'll just have a sip. It should be fine."
Luna took the glass from his hand and said, "Considering your age and health, the doctor's orders are clear. Not even a drop of alcohol. Let's opt for tea instead. I'm sure everyone will understand." After Luna's tactful intervention, the crowd exchanged puzzled glances. They were intrigued by her identity and unexpected appearance beside Raymond.
