Later in the night, she saw someone posting the same fireworks on social media, to which the comments were asking, ‘I heard that this fireworks display was arranged by a wealthy man to make his girlfriend happy. I’m curious who that lucky woman is and how she feels having someone light fireworks above the sea for an hour.’
When Jessie read the comment, she could not help but think, I didn’t expect I could enjoy the fireworks a rich man prepared for his girlfriend!
Feeling curious, she ran over to Julian and showed him her phone. “How did you know there would be a rich man lighting the fireworks for his girlfriend there? Was it your friend?”
After watching the video, he went silent for a moment before answering, “The rich man is me, and you’re the girlfriend.”
She was speechless and stunned for a few seconds. What? It was for me all along?
“So, it’s you! Are those fireworks for me?” Jessie was touched beyond words. She would never have dreamt that Julian was such a romantic and that she could be part of the experience. Smooch! With a smile, she hugged and kissed him. “Thank you, my dear Mr. Gilmore.”
He reached out to embrace her. “Now that the fireworks are done, shouldn’t we be heading home so that you can thank me properly?”
She knew he was up to no good just by looking at him, so she nodded shyly. “Sure, let’s go home!”
Inside the car, she smiled sweetly when she found more videos on social media and saw that many were jealous of the woman who received the fireworks display. The one being envied by all is me!
Right after midnight, the cinemas showing Julian’s latest movie were packed, and the box office sales were consistently on top in just one day. To that, Vincent was utterly delighted. Not only was I worried for nothing, but the movie is also a hit with a high review score!
A week later, the movie broke the box office record for this quarter, reaching ticket sales of over one billion while still rising.
On the seventh night of the new year, Vincent happily invited everyone in the production crew to a good meal, and whoever was free attended the gathering. Since Julian and Jessie had declared their relationship, they went there together without caring about public scrutiny.
“Director Cooper, the box office sales are beyond our imaginations! This is amazing.” “That’s right! The results have surpassed my expectations, and Jessie is made popular by the movie.”
She was also elated at the results, but she was not looking forward to acting anymore because she knew she would not have been interested in participating if Julian had not been the male protagonist. Therefore, she decided that she would focus on being Mrs. Gilmore from then on!
“As of now, we should be looking forward to the award ceremony that is going to be held in three months. I think Julian and Jessie will win a few grand awards.”
Of course, Jessie was looking forward to the award ceremony. It would mean a lot to her if she could win a trophy.
Despite not being a casual drinker, she decided to try all sorts of alcohol, including white wine, red wine, and cocktails for this great occasion. When Julian returned from his trip to the bathroom, she was already drunk.
“No one is to toast her again.” He was a little worried, so he warned the others. A few who did not have the chance to toast with Jessie eventually gave up on the idea. Just watching Julian dote on his wife was enough for them to feel jealous of her!
It seemed like she must have done a lot in her previous life to be able to become his girlfriend. Perhaps during her last lifetime, she spent all her days gathering merits, which was why she could meet Julian in this lifetime and get pampered like a child.
“I’m not drunk. I’m perfectly sober!” Jessie stubbornly argued while raising her chin and taking the initiative to raise her glass. “Let me give a toast to all of you. Thank you all for taking such good care of me on set.”
Following that, everyone raised their glasses and responded to her. Only the man sitting beside her looked frustrated and grabbed her glass away when she raised it to her lips before downing it himself. She blinked her huge eyes, utterly confused. Why is this guy stealing my drink?
“That’s all for today! Everyone, please head back early and get some rest.” Once Julian finished his words, he rose to his feet and was ready to leave. I’m bringing her home and never letting her drink alcohol again.
“No. I don’t want to go home.” Jessie was having fun with others and still wanted to be with them.
“We’re going karaoke later! Young Master Julian, would you like to join us?” one of the female assistants asked senselessly.
When Jessie, whom Julian had just pulled into his embrace, heard they were going to karaoke, she immediately raised her hand. “I do. I wanna go!”
“No, you can’t,” he ordered.
“I don’t want to go home, so I must go karaoke. Julian, please!” Since Jessie was drunk, she acted like a child and was more stubborn than usual.
The female assistant immediately sensed that she should not have said that and looked terrified as she looked at him.
“Do you want to go?” In the end, Julian compromised.
“Yes, I want to. I want to hear you sing.” With lips curled into a smile, Jessie looked at him expectantly.
“Fine! Let’s go!” He agreed to her request, resulting in the assistant’s relief.
Oh my gosh. That was so terrifying. I thought I would get scolded by Young Master Julian for sure.
Subsequently, Jessie leaned half of her weight against Julian as they walked out of the restaurant. When they entered the car, she was still in high spirits and was looking forward to hearing him sing later.
At that moment, Harper played a song on the radio, which was Jessie’s favorite. Since the alcohol boosted her courage, she was not reserved anymore and began singing along to the radio. Her voice filled the car as she sang excitedly.
While looking at the woman beside him, Julian decided that she was not allowed to drink alcoholic drinks when he was not around.
Her current behavior was not only lovely but also sexy. Her hair was tied behind her head, revealing her charming face rich with emotions and a sense of rebellion.
Julian was not sure how many times he had gulped. I shouldn’t have agreed to let her go karaoke. Instead, I should have brought her home so that she could exert her excitement on me.
If he were to change his mind now, she would probably throw a tantrum, so he could only suppress his urge and accompany her to the karaoke.
When they arrived at the luxurious private room, they began to choose a few songs to sing. Jessie and a female assistant chose the song she had been singing inside the car earlier, and they both piped happily. Since her voice already sounded pleasant to the ears, it sounded even more melodious when she sang. However, she was a little tone-deaf and was singing off-key.
Julian’s lips curled into a smile without him knowing, and the affection in his eyes was unmistakable when he looked at her.
After the song ended, shyness overcame her, probably because she had sobered up a little. She then raced over to Julian and sat beside him. He snaked his long arms around her waist, which made her look up at him to ask, “What song would you like to sing?”
At that moment, the female assistant came over and notified them, “I’ve selected a song for Young Master Julian.”
Hearing that, Jessie nodded in anticipation. “Okie!” By now, she had indeed sobered up and was listening to the others sing. Then, her eyes landed on the beer glass on the table before she reached over.
Immediately, the man beside her enveloped her in his embrace while refusing in his raspy voice. “You can’t drink anymore tonight!”
She turned to look at him with pitiful eyes and knew she could not drink anymore. Following that, he grabbed a glass of water and handed it to the girl, who drank it obediently like a child with strict parents.
Finally, it was Julian’s turn to sing. The assistant had chosen a romantic song, and it made everyone’s heart flutter as he descanted in his attractive voice.
Meanwhile, Jessie was immersed in his voice. She previously listened to the soundtrack for his movie that he sang, and she loved every second of it. I put him on replay all the time! He’s such an all- rounded artist!
“Jessie, go give Young Master Julian a hug!” Lexie nudged her.
Hearing that, she could not help but feel shy while heading over to embrace him. In reciprocation, he held her hand and looked at her gently while finishing the rest of the song. Her heart fluttered, and she felt extremely shy yet touched.
Once he finished his karaoke, both of them returned to their seats.
