“Gunther, Ariel, why don’t we change the venue?” said Archie.
Ariel was not happy about the whole thing. “I don’t mind if it wasn’t for the fact that we’ve already sent
out the invites yesterday. Imagine what our guests would say once they’ve found out we’ve changed
the
venue.”
After thinking it through, Gunther said, “Ariel is right. The guests might think we don’t have the money
to have the wedding at Bloomington Hotel if we suddenly change the venue. So how about changing
the date instead?”
At that moment, Severin suddenly smiled and said, “You’re right, Mister Gunther. It’ll look bad on your
family if you suddenly change the venue. How about if you postpone the wedding by a day or two? You
can just tell your guests that the hotel staff has made a mistake with the booking.”
Archie smiled bitterly. He thought the same way too. In the end, he smiled and said, “Yes, that’s what
we’ll do! We’ll postpone the wedding by a day or two.”
Severin heaved a sigh of relief and then said generously, “Thank you for giving up the venue for me,
Mister Archie and Mister Gunther. In order to show how grateful I am, please allow me to foot the bill for
the wedding.”
Archie immediately shook his hands. “No, no. That’s very generous of you, Mister Severin, but it’s too
much.”
“Yeah. We can’t possibly ept your offer, Mister Severin,” said Gunther humbly, even though he was
secretly happy about the offer.
“I won’t take no for an answer so it’s decided then! She, find out how much the venue, food, drinks,
and the rest of the wedding cost. Let me know once you have the final number and I’ll wire you the
money,” said Severin with a smile.
She rolled her eyes at Severin and said shyly, “You silly man, given our rtionship, there’s no need
to act like a stranger. The hotel will foot the bill. Take it as a wedding gift from my family. Besides, it
doesn’t matter who foots the bill because you are me and I am you.”
Severin waspletely speechless. Then he red at She and said, “Well, what are you waiting for
then? Make the call now or I won’t be hosting my wedding at your hotel!”
She pouted her lips when she realized Severin was indeed very angry. Then she quickly made a call
to the hotel. After hanging up the phone, she said, “The hotel will pay for the venue.
The rest of the itemse to a total of four million dors but there’s a discount of a million dors so
you only need to wire me three million dors.”
Archie, Gunther, and Ariel were shocked to hear all the big numbers being thrown around like they
were nothing. For She to give Severin a discount of a million dors must mean that she really liked
him.
Severin wired the money to her and said, “I’ve already wired you four million dors. I don’t need you to
give me a discount.”
“You silly man. I don’t get why you insist on making everything so clear between us.” It was the first
time She felt upset about receiving money from someone. She could not help but think Severin was
treating her like a stranger.
Archie stood up and said embarrassedly, “Oh, how can we possibly ever thank you, Mister Severin?”
“Don’t worry about it. All that is just chump change. Besides, you were the one who booked the venue.
Hist. I won’t be able to sleep at night knowing that I didn’tpensate you for changing the date,” said
Severin with a smile.
“Would the two of you like to have lunch with us before you go?” Archie asked with bated breath.

Severin smiled. “It’s okay, Mister Archie. I still have some other things like putting up advertisements to
do.”
The Snas had no choice but to seem them off since both Severin and She insisted on leaving.
“Isn’t Severin the husband of Diane Shanahan? How can he say that was chump change? His own
wedding would be taking a lot of money out of his pocket too and I’m sure the Shanahans would not be
footing the bill so how can he pay for your and Ariel’s wedding just like that?” said Archie after Severin
had left.
Gunther nodded and said, “Yes, there’s more to him than meets the eyes.”
