Chapter 312: Are You Ready?
At last, three men leave together.
Lily is confused and asks Jessie, “Jessie, you are standing very close to Leigh. Do you know what
David said to him just now?”
Jessie shakes her head, “David is so sly. He talked in a quite low voice. I heard nothing.”
It is so strange. Where are they going?
“Maybe they have to deal with something.” Stella doesn’t care about it and refills Lily’s glass with red
wine, “Though they are on a vocation, they need to attend to the business in the company.”
Hearing what Stella said, Lily agrees with her.
Jessie leans to Stella and smiles, “Let them go. Let’s chat! President Scott, is your company still
recruiting? What do you think of me?”
“Yes. But I will definitely not take you in.”
“Why?” Jessie purses her lips, “I am good. I can replace a group!”
Stella takes a sip of the wine and says nothing.
Lily says smiling, “She dares not to recruit you. Leigh is so attached to you and follows you
everywhere. Though he is not a serious person, he is excellent at doing business.”
“They three are close like brothers. The Smith Group and the Long Peace Group are competitors on
some projects, and Leigh is the only one that can be fully trusted in the overseas department of the
Smith Group. So Louis must keep him around.”
Stella nods in approval.
Jessie snorts, “How is he excellent? His mind is full of filthy ideas! Maybe someday he will run into a
beauty spy in a banquet and be seduced by her, telling her every secret he knows.”
“Hahaha. You hit the nail on the head!” Lily almost laughs her heart out. She banters, “You despise Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
Leigh so much. Why did you get engaged with him? Aren’t you contradicting yourself?”
Jessie rests her head on her hand and sighs, “What can I do. I think highly of appearance. I am
fascinated by his face.”
“Leigh is truly a good man.” Stella says what’s in her mind, “Though he is a bit naughty and playful, he
knows what he can do and what he can’t.”
She looks at Jessie and smiles lightly, “I have seen many rich kids. They play everything. They depend
on their rich families and do things beyond limitations. Some of them are still young but have bunches
of mistresses and bastards.”
“I heard of it too.” Lily nods, “I have watched tidbits involving Leigh too before. The fact that he likes
super models with big breasts and long legs is indeed annoying. But he behaves himself during a
relationship and doesn’t make any scandal. When he breaks up her girlfriends, he also offers
compensation to them. He makes sure it ends totally before he moves on to another.”
Stella raises her lips, “Right? Who knows such a rich kid like Leigh will someday stay devoted to a girl?
Maybe that’s what they say, ‘Whether or not a person wants to change himself depends on the life
partner he meets.’
Jessie doesn’t feel well mentally.
She hates what they said and wants to tell them, “What does it mean by ‘he can stay devoted to a girl’?
Like father, like son. They are all cheaters who play with women’s feeling.”
But at the end, she just purses her lips.
Lily senses that something is wrong with Jessie and puts her arm around her shoulders, “Jessie,
whether or not a relationship can work depends on both of you. No matter how bad he was, he has
changed a lot for you. You should believe him.”
Stella adds, “If he dares to hurt you, we have many ways to make him pay for it.”
“You...” Jessie feels her eyes tingle, “Why am I so lucky this year to meet such good friends as you?”
Lily smiles, “It’s fate. We can do nothing about it.”
Jessie looks at her and secretly bites her lip.
She becomes friends with Stella by accident. But she made friends with Lily to revenge on her. She
planned it from the beginning. But it never occurred to her that they will really become good friends.
Jessie says to Lily in her heart, “Sorry, Lily. I have been lying to you for a long time.”
Jessie lowers her head. Lily doesn’t see the guilt that flashes across her face. Lily raises her glass,
“This is the first festival that we celebrate together as friends. Let’s have a toast!”
“By the way, if you guys get poor, I won’t give you money.” Stella raises her glass too, “I can help you
with other things. But if money is involved, please go find someone else.”
“Hey, do you really have to be so realistic?” Lily turns to face her and banters, “Your son is still waiting
for me to bear a little princess for him. Maybe we will become families someday in the future!”
Stella smiles, “Then you do it. You can name any prize for your little princess!”
“Are you so generous?”
“It is for my daughter-in-law. Of course I am generous!”
When hearing them talking about the future, Jessie bursts into laughter too. She reaches her hand to
feel her abdomen.
It is flat.
But she knows that in a month, a little life will form in her abdomen.
Forgetting about those precise plans, Jessie smiles too and raises her glass to have a toast with them,
“Yes. Let’s toast for our friendship. Wish we can celebrate the next Christmas together too!”
“Cheers!”
The fine red wine makes them feel content. They happily talk about the bright future and completely
forget about the three men that left before.
At this moment, the funky electronic music stops suddenly, leaving people who are dancing at a loss.
Right now, a beam of light hits on the stage.
“Wow!” Screaming and deep breathing rise and fall.
Out of surprise, they three look at the stage too. They see that the DJ and several leading dances have
left the stage and that four young, handsome men are now standing on the stage.
Jessie utters a swear and puts two hands beside her mouth to form a horn and shouts to Leigh who is
on the stage, “Leigh, what the hell are you doing? Are you going to do a strap dancing for me?”
“No!” Leigh shouts back to her, “Baby, my flesh will only be shown to you!”
Lily feels embarrassed.
She thinks Jessie spends too much time with Leigh and has been led astray.
On the stage, David tries on the microphone and greets everyone in Japanese. He says briefly, “It is
New Year’s Eve tonight. Mr. Smith says everything tonight will be covered by him.”
People off the stage keep cheering and some customers even begin to ask waiters to bring the finest
drinks.
Since someone is paying for them, of course they want the most expensive drinks!
“Thank you. You are so zealous.” David smiles politely. He is a great host and soon people in the hall
become quiet.
“In the next five minutes, we will be dominating the stage.”
After David finishes talking, he puts the microphone along with its holder in front of Louis.
Louis is tuning the guitar. Soft light hits upon him and outlines his perfect figure. He looks like a star in
the milky way, dazzling and fascinating.
Because he looks so gorgeous, many women downstage begin screaming and shouting, “You are so
handsome. Which club do you work for? Can you be my secret lover?”
Jessie doesn’t understand Japanese and asks Lily, “Lily, what is she talking about with such an excited
voice?”
“Nothing!” Lily pushes her head away with slight discontent.
Her angry eyes are fixated on the man on the stage and she grinds her teeth.
What the hell is he doing? I only asked him to sing a song on the stage. What is he doing now? Is he
trying to seduce those ignorant women with his face?
At this moment, Louis finishes tuning the guitar and raises his head. His deep eyes look through the
bustling crowd and meet with hers. His thin lips raise slightly, which are sexy and seductive.
Louis puts the microphone beside his mouth, and his deep voice magnified by the sound box spreads
in the hall.
“Mrs. Louis, are you ready?”
