Yasmine called Chuck, "Chuck, I'd like to invite two friends to dinner at Paragon Hotel tonight. Are you free?" Such a big event

PM, Yasmine arrived at Paragon Hotel right on time with Lucy. Chuck was stunned when he saw her; he hadn't expected the friend Yasmine mentioned to be her. As he placed the menu on Yasmine's table, he saw Lucy waving excitedly towards the door. "Over here!" Yasmine smiled and explained,
