Jocko’s Birthday
Jocko’s Birthday
I’M WEARING MY lilac-colored dress paired with kitten heels, which is just right for me. My makeup is
also simple, just a light pink lipstick with a blush on and my statement earrings. I just combed my hair
and left some details below my ears.
I smiled at the mirror with satisfaction. I can’t deny that something has changed in my body, but I just
didn’t pay attention to it.
As Peter promised, he picked me up before seven o’clock.
“I love the way you look tonight,” Peter whispered in my ears.
I smiled as I held his arm tightly. “You too, you look good tonight,” I countered.
“Am I?” he chuckled slightly.
He’s really handsome wearing a back long sleeve polo. His muscles became more toned because of
the folds from his hem to his elbow. His pants fit with him, and his furnish animal skin shoe was very
impressive.
I simply nod. “Yes, you are, Monteverde!” I chucklingly said.
As I went downstairs, a smile appeared on my lips when I saw Carrick and Cindy in the lobby.
“Bestie!”
She could not stop herself from meeting me with her tight hug. “I missed you so much, bestie!” Her
voice slightly cracked, and she wiped away the tears when I let go.
“I miss you too.” I smiled back.
“Looks like you missed each other too much, right?” Carrick said. He approached to give me a gentle
kiss on the cheek.
I just reciprocated with a small smile and how Cindy’s spanking on my body.
“Bro, how are you?” Carrick turned to Peter as he greeted him for a moment.
“Hi, guys!”
We both turned to the upcoming Samantha, Julia, Santino, Jeremy, and the couple Ally and William.
I waved at them and nodded slightly. I chose to distance myself from them, but Allysa’s critical eyes
bothered me.
“Margaux, it looks like something happened to you.” she narrows her gaze on me.
My lips pressed together so did the tremble on my heart. “Uh, maybe it’s just a bit stressful at work,” I
answered quietly.
She no longer spoke, but I knew she was watching my every move.
And suddenly, Peter snaked his arms around my waist. “Better yet, let’s go straight to the party. I’m
sure Jocko is already waiting for us.”
We headed to the pavilion, where the gathering was. I can hear the music playing as I stand there. The
lights dimmed like a night sky. Even the smoke around seemed to greet us.
Jocko, the birthday boy, immediately greeted us. He’s wearing a simple polo shirt with black pants and
shoes. We greeted him one by one as some handed a gift to him.
“Woah! Thank you! Thank you!” he chuckled delightfully.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
He guided us inside, where there were already many people in the middle of the dance floor.
The food arrived immediately at our table. The variety of grilled fish, steaks, mouth-watering salads and
cakes on the table is glittering in my eyes.
I suddenly spat, so I could not control myself. I filled my plate with other kinds of seafood and sweets. I
also picked up a strawberry float.
“Where’s my gift?” Jocko asked Samantha briefly while rubbing her shoulder.
“Do you think I will give you a gift?!” Samantha rolls her eyes but can’t hide the redness on her face.
Jocko leaned closer to him and hugged him tightly. “Bad girl . . .” he murmured and buried his face on
his neck.
There they were teased and asked for a kiss. I just silently watched them while I was busy eating my
crayfish.
“Take it easy, Margaux,” Peter whispered to me.
I just shrugged and continued eating. At the same time, they are still focused on the two who granted
what they wanted.
Jocko looked down, gave Samantha a few kisses on the lips, chin, and neck.
“Woah! Happy birthday!”
The shouting and cheers almost caught my attention. I paused for a moment to applaud and refocused
on the chocolate cake.
“Margaux, are you sure you can eat all that?”
I looked up at Cindy before smiling. “Yes, I do.”
I fed myself again with delicious food. I know they are confused, but I just can’t really stop eating.
“Wow! Do you really eat all of that?!” Allysa exclaimed and looked at me with so much investigation.
I cleared my throat and laid my back on the chair. I still wanted to eat, but I was suddenly embarrassed
about the look they gave me.
I took a deep breath and then slowly released it. “Uh, the food is good.” I had no intention of
commenting.
“You look really different now,” Julia whispered to my side and glanced at my reaction.
I swallowed, but I felt it was hard for me to do that. So I gave it a frugal smile.
“What are you guys waiting for? Let’s dance!” Allysa slammed on the table and gently pulled William’s
hand.
“Wait, I’m in!” Julia quickly stood up, as did Jeremy and Santino.
At that point, I calmed down, but I raised my head to Cindy, who gave me a serious look. I tried to
smile, but I couldn’t, so I quickly averted my eyes.
“The big boss is here!” Jocko announced with a big smile on his face.
“Happy birthday,” a familiar voice abruptly resounded in the evening wind.
I glance up at him. Under the dim light, I could see a man dressed in a luxurious suit and a gentleman
with a complete lack of human emotions. However, it does not hide the factuality that he was charming,
classy, and definitely hotter than before.
And I had to admit the fact that he captivates me. It was as if I had lost myself for a moment, and my
eyes were tired of it. Not knowing, I held my gaze too long.
“Hi, Elliesse!” Jocko said again.
I cleared my throat, arms wrapped around my folded legs loosely. Those who came just ignored it.
“Here’s our gift for you. I hope you like it.” Elliesse sweetly said to Jocko.
“Oh, thank you! Please take a seat!”
Eventually, I found the food in front of me, but I still had no appetite even if I touched it. So I tossed the
food lazily and didn’t bother to engage in the conversation.
“So when is the wedding?” Cindy asked them with a hint of prying.
“We will soon be announcing the details. Lawrence still has a lot of work to do, and I am finishing my
compromised project,” Elliesse stated.
The smile on her lips did not escape from me when I turned my gaze. My eyebrows draw apart, not
wanting to beat under her gaze.
“Great, I’m excited!” Cindy blurted out.
I quickly turned to Cindy. I could not help but frown at her. And I fired her a deviltry looked. What the
hell is she talking about?! I want to think twice if she is really my best friend! Before I lost myself, I felt
Peter support me on my shoulder.
“So, how’s the feeling that you will be tied to Elliesse?” Jocko blows it up to Lawrence.
“No pressure at all. I haven’t thought about that much yet,” he said in a deep hoarse voice.
