Chapter 177: Secret

An hour later the conversation finally pulled into a stop and by that time everything concerning the Masquerade Party had been settled. Claire saw to it that even the tiniest detail had been discussed. She's determined to make the party a huge success and I witnessed how she's doing her best. I greatly appreciated her for that. 

Claire contentently ate her Lava cake. A mysterious glint playing upon her sapphire eyes. 

"I couldn't wait to see the outcome of our plans." It was Arriane, slowly rising from her chair when we finished the superb dessert. I and Claire abandoned our seats and shook hands with her. 

"Arriane and I will make sure that this year's birthday celebration will be the most memorable day of your life." Claire exclaimed, the glint upon her eyes burned brighter. I was intrigued why but I kept the questions to myself.
