Chapter 1925 A Real Surprise Party:>Ep2

She promised not to tell and I ended the conversation. I then started calling a few of Emily’s friends and relatives to invite them to a surprise party for Emily. I told them she was getting a raise from her boss and I felt it was cause to celebrate. Everyone seemed satisfied with that explanation and the need to keep it from Emily. I told them to be at our home by seven to be certain to be there when Emily got in. I didn’t want to be a rude host, so I called a local caterer and ordered food and drinks for the next evening. I explained that everything should be set up on the deck off the living room, by our pool. Emily always wanted to have a nice party on that deck, I mused. This should really please her! I left directions and told them the house may be empty when they came, but they could carry everything around the side of the house.
