With some communicating through their assistants, they came up with lame excuses of being in a meeting, being out of the country. Some were not even reachable at all. Westley laughed as he thought of it in his car. Immagine people making up excuses to meet with him. He was someone that people usually begged for attention!

Kage was at a wedding complex with Lana, shopping for some essentials. He's been postponing the shopping for far too long. Lana was beginning to nag too much about it. So, he had to give it a go once and for all

He was seated on the couch, going through pictures of their available suits on their iPad, while Lana kept trying on some wedding dresses, blushing endlessly as she looked in the mirror. Her friends were with her, helping out and making it all the more fun.
