Chapter 56 Birthday Wish
Chapter 56 Birthday Wish
Jessica stared at Louis, and she tried to calm down.
“The Night, Shine Project, are all the gifts for Brenda. Louis Carter, how could you waste ten years of
her youth! And why could you be so shameless to say that she isn’t your ‘moonlight’?” She not only just
to feel sorry for Brenda but she was fed up with his cruel and cold-blood behavior.
Louis’s eyebrows tightly furrowed and her beautiful face could be seen from his dark and hollow eyes.
He didn’t say anything.
Suddenly, all the lights went out.
Before everybody knew what happened, there was a white spotlight beaming down on Brenda who
was standing at the center.
And a group of people were singing the birthday song, “Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you
Brenda...”
They were pushing a trolley with a birthday cake on, and they walked over to Brenda slowly...
“Brenda, happy birthday!”
“Brenda, make a wish!”
“Yes, then you blow out the candles.”
Under their urging, Brenda put her palms together.
She gazed at Louis through the groups of people... and she made a wish in front of all the people there.
“No matter how many years I need to wait for you, no matter how old I will be, I will be always waiting
for you to be back to me. Louis, if you don't leave me, I will always be with you till the end of life.”
Her announcement produced gasps of amazement which was like a bomb.
No one would expect that the rumor between Louis Carter and Brenda was true!
Then lots of people were gazing at the gorgeous and charming man at the dancing floor and the other
woman he was holding in arms.
What shocked them the most was that Louis Carter was cheating on Brenda!
No wonder Brenda would say that she would be always waiting for him to be back to her.
Especial the people in the party felt so pathetic when they heard what she said If he didn't leave her,
she would always be with him till the end of life.
And obviously, the woman who Louis Carter was hugging and kissing was a shameless mistress.
Suddenly, everyone was gossiping.
Jessica became a target for all.
She was nervous and worried that she got rid of Louis’s arm subconsciously.
But she couldn’t since he was holding her so tightly.
Jessica was fear of the people’s censures that she buried her face into his arms feeling so nervous.
Brenda did it on purpose and she wanted to tell the public that Jessica was the mistress who stole her
man.
Jessica was scowling and no one could feel more wronged than her. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
If she had known that she would be in such a trouble, she would rather die than attend the party!
Just then, someone couldn’t bear it and he shouted out, “Mr. Carter, come back to Brenda!”
Then lots of them began to speak for Brenda, “Mr. Carter, please make Brenda’s birthday wish come
true...”
“Mr. Carter, come back to Brenda please...”
“Mr. Carter, please make Brenda’s birthday wish come true...”
The people were becoming more and more excited.
They were all supporting Brenda and standing by her side.
Jessica’s forehead was sweating and she could feel that countless fierce and vicious eyes were
focused on her...
“Mr. Carter, come back to Brenda please... Mr. Carter, come back to Brenda please...”
All of a sudden, the people in the party were all helping Brenda and they didn’t care about Louis’s
status but just couldn’t stand that Louis was cheating on Brenda.
They were more and more and then Jessica and Louis were surrounded by them.
They were getting closer and closer to them.
Louis eyes were becoming darker but he didn’t do anything.
But Jessica could feel that his hands which were around her waist were tighter and tighter.
“Mr. Carter, you should live up to Brenda’s love to you...” Someone just shouted out loud.
Jessica felt that her leg was kicked by someone and she felt it so hurt.
Then more and more people were getting around them and she didn’t know who kicked her.
All she could do was to bury in Louis’s arms and kept silence.
“Mr. Carter, Brenda! Mr. Carter, Brenda! Mr. Carter, Brenda...”
It was understandable that people in the party were so supporting her since she was a famous and
excellent superstar in their eyes.
But Jessica wasn’t that lucky.
She was regarded at a mermaid princess at the moment she entered the party, but now she was a
person that hated by them. How pathetic!
Louis’s pupils seemed to be center on the crowd.
Then he held Jessica up and rushed through the crowd and they left. People there were in a great
shock, and Brenda helped by Raymond couldn’t control her tears anymore but cried out.
They got off the cruise.
Jessica was burying her head into his arms and she was quietly hearing his heartbeat.
She didn’t expect that Brenda who was such a famous celebrity would announce to the public that she
and Louis were couples.
But Jessica also felt Brenda was so pathetic that when she heard what Brenda said that If he didn't
leave her, she would always be with him till the end of life. No wonder the people in the party were all
on her side.
Jessica felt a bit sad about that and she couldn’t help sighing.
But she hated Louis so much. It was all because of him who got her involved in such a trouble.
However, she also felt lucky that Louis didn’t leave her alone.
“Louis Carter, you are cruel!” Jessica was mumbling in his chest.
The one who fell in love with such a man would be hurt so seriously.
Joyce was a great example for that. But Brenda was more pathetic than her.
Louis remained a grim face and he staggered a little but didn’t reply her.
Keith drove the car to them and he was always the one who would show up in the nick of time.
Louis got inside the car carrying Jessica and said in a low voice, “Back to the Night.” Then he didn’t say
anything anymore.
Jessica was sitting quietly by him.
She peeked at him and saw that he looked taut and she had a mixed feeling about him.
She guessed that he must plan to take her to Brenda’s birthday party.
Was his ten years’ relationship with Brenda just over that easily?
Jessica didn’t dare to ponder over it.
But there was only one day left of their bet.
After tomorrow, she could get rid of him and even get away from him from then on...
Then next morning, Jessica was back to normal and went back to the company dressing plainly.
But the gossip news had gone viral and soon became the headline news in Chicago.
In the office, there were couples of girls were gossiping.
“Hey, did you guys read the E Daily this morning? There is big news!”
“Yes, I heard about that. Brenda was back to Chicago! She is so famous in the movie world!”
“Mr. Carter and she are couples...”
“No, they were couples. Didn’t read the news that Mr. Carter is cheating on Brenda and they ended
their ten years relationship!”
“What the hell! Ten years? He is so cruel!”
“He is. They have kept their affair a secret so well for so many years...”
“But who is the mistress that said on the news?”
“Who knows? Only the back of the mistress can be seen on the magazine. She is held tightly by Mr.
Carter. We can’t see how she looks.”
“Do you guys think she is the daughter of Mayor Davis?”
“Didn’t you read the newspaper? It said that last night at the same time, Joyce was attending a military
and politic gala with her dad. So, it shouldn’t be her.”
“So, the mistress is someone else. That’s so complicate...”
“Agree. But Joyce must be so happy that Brenda is out without doing anything.”
“Wow, the mistress is doing her job so well.”
“Who is she? How could Mr. Carter fall in love with her?”
“Brenda is too pathetic...”
“You’re right. They had been in relationship for ten years...”
“The mistress is just a bitch! How shameless she is!”
“It would be good news for Brenda that she announces her relationship with Mt. Carter to the public.
But it would be so pathetic that she is cheated by him...”
“I don’t believe in love anymore...”
The more Jessica heard, the more uneasy she was.
She walked to the CEO’s office cautiously and she was afraid that she would be recognized by them.
Jessica thought she was so wronged, actually she didn’t want to get involved...
When she got inside the office, she saw Louis was working.
She cleared her throat in embarrassment and walked straight to him.
Louis lifted his eyebrows and looked up at her, and he knew that she had something to talk to him, “Cut
to the chase.”
Seeing that he was as cold and gloomy as usual, Jessica’s face twitched slightly.
She couldn’t help doubting that was smile true or fake? Did she see it wrong or was she dreaming at
that time?
She cleared her throat again and then turned around and walked to the cupboard by the sofa. Then
she took out a pile of files, some documents, paper and pens, flesh-drive...
And she placed all the thing on his table.
Louis frowned and looked up at her and it seemed that he was waiting for her to explain.
“Here are the things I use since I am your secretary.” She straightened her back and looked into his
eyes, then said in a determined voice, “Since you are here, I want to return all these things to you. I will
hand in my resignation to Nancy and I won’t come here tomorrow.”
Jessica felt so guilty about what happened last night.
But she suddenly felt relieved when she thought she could be free until the bet was over.
It seemed that she could see the bright and shiny sun in the next morning.
Louis looked up at her with his eyebrows furrowed and sneered, “Jessica Wilson, tomorrow hasn't
come, why are you so sure that you won’t need to come tomorrow?”
She stared at him and pursed her lips, “I don’t think there will be any change today. It’s almost over.
Anyway, Mr. Carter, I really appreciate your care and it is you who make me realize how cruel a man
could be and witness how inhuman someone could be.”
Jessica was pointing at one but abuse another. All she said were like knives which stabbed on his
chest. But obviously,
Whatever, they would have nothing to do with each other after today.
Louis face became gloomy suddenly.
He blinked his eyes and pursed his lips and nodded his head with a smile, “Fine, Jessica Wilson, I will
say good morning to you in advanced.” He said it word by word.
Jessica couldn’t help shivering.
What did he mean by saying “say good morning to her in advanced”?
She noticed that his eyes were super evil and cold...
She walked out of the office, and rushed to Nancy’s office.
Nancy was shocked when she saw Jessica passing her a resignation.
“Jessica Wilson, are you kidding me?”
Jessica didn’t expect that Nancy was angry but not feeling delighted.
She was surprised, “I am going to quit my job! Are you happy?”
