Page 8 of Bridesmaid By Chance
Not that I need to take notes for this meeting, but it could be helpful if anyone needs things emailed later.
“That’s when we heard about Bridesmaid for Hire,”Archie says. “We thought it would be a good option since the wedding is coming up soon, and we don’t have anyone else who could fill in.”
“Plus, and trust me when I say I’m not proud of this, but we could pick someone who might fit the part a little better, you know?” Sheridan adds with a slight wince in her expression.
I write down in my notesfit the part, whatever the hell that means.
Seems like I cut out at the wrong time, when the tea was being spilled.
Something about someone breaking their leg, them needing what I assume is a bridesmaid, and needing someone who fits in. Doesn’t seem like too big of an ask. If anyone can help them, it’s Maggie and Everly.
What kind of wedding are they having?
“I don’t think we have anyone who fits the requirements,” Everly says, looking nervous at saying that in front of Hudson.
Orrrrrr maybe not.
I glance at Hudson only to be met by an unhappy pinch in his brow, and yeah, I guess I would be nervous to disappoint as well when he’s looking at her like that.
“Really?” Sheridan says, her voice falling flat.
“Oh, I’m sure we can find someone,” Hudson says, stepping in, causing both Maggie and Everly to turn their heads toward him in shock. Yikes, don’t think they were expecting him to jump in with such a strong commitment. But really, they don’t have anyone who could help?
“Really?” Sheridan asks. “That would be such a huge help.”
“Sure,” Hudson says, not breaking a sweat. “What exactly are you looking for in a bridesmaid?”
Great question—that’s why he’s the boss.
“We would need someone well-versed in Regency ballroom dancing.”
That’s a new one. Regency ballroom dancing? What the hell is that?
I write it down in my notes.
Is that like…what they do onBridgerton? The fancy line dancing?
Good luck finding someone with that kind of knowledge, lady.
“Someone who can take time off and be in London for a couple of weeks.”
Ooh, London, never been there but have always wanted to go.
Double-decker buses, telephone booths, tea, andcheerio, mate.
Not to mention, the possibility of stalking Harry Styles—sign me up.
“It would be convenient if she was married since it’s last minute, though it’s not a high priority. I’m sure Archie can get it approved with the club, but it would make things easier.”
A club? Fancy. What kind of club are we talking about? Because my mind is wandering.
Imagine them looking for some Regency-dancing, unemployed, sex-club enthusiast to be a part of their wedding.
There’s a request.
“And would love for her to have dark hair since all the other bridesmaids have dark hair as well.”
That’s easy. I write down in my notepadsomeone willing to have dark hair.
