Everything was going great until the eventplanner went to meet Adaora's mother and said "we have a problem ma" Adaora's mother replied with a slight frown on her face "what is the problem now, don't tell me you ordered peach roses instead of pink roses my daughter would not be pleased" the pretty eventplanner replied "no ma that is not the problem, the caterers cancelled on us".

Adaora's mother was shocked she said "we have being using that catering service for years now what was their reason for cancelling" the eventplanner replied "they have being pre booked for one annual gala" Adaora's mother was furious but kept calm, she knew it was Teressa's doing, that awful woman she thought to herself, Adaora's mother then said "hire another catering service what is a party without food, look this girl you better not ruin today do your job after all you are being paid to do so" with that Adaora's mother walked towards her master bedroom to get dressed.
