Chapter 670 - Esmes 18th Birthday Preparation Part 1 (1/2)

It's 3:20 PM in Empire Academy. Casey continued finishing her sketch on the bench, under the acacia tree. She's too focused on the scenarios that she's sketching. She didn't notice a boy standing in front of her.

”Casey,” She glanced at the boy. Ignoring him, she continued sketching on her sketchbook. ”Uh, Casey?” The boy sound shy.

”What?” She asked coldly.

The boy extended a pink rose to her, and she had smelled it. She took it and looked up at him.

”Why are you giving me this?” She looked straight into his eyes. He looked away and shyly scratched his head.

”I—I like you.” He stammered. She rose her brows.

”I don't like you.” She said casually, and she put down the rose and proceed to her sketch.

The boy froze in front of her, and he sighed.

”I'll bring you another rose tomorrow then,” He turned back from her. She stopped sketching and frowned.

”He's just wasting his time,” Casey mumbled.

Allison sat beside her and took the pink rose lying next to Casey.

”Poor boy,” Allison mumbled, and she chuckled.

”Well, I am not that desperate to have a boyfriend.”

”Oh-kay.” Allison chuckled.

A red-neck guy, black-top, hair sleek back, wearing denim pants, and a rubber shoes approached them.

”Girls, let's go.” Jaxon signed them. Casey folds her sketchbook. They followed Jaxon to the parking lot. She halted when she saw Wynter looking at the Empire Bus. She approached her.

”Wynter,” She called, and Wynter pointed the plate number.

”Why is this outside?” She asked.

”Well, they are talking the scholars back to their Condominium. Is there something wrong?”

”Yes,” Wynter answered. ”This can't go.”

”Why?” Casey asked again.

Wynter faced Casey.

”I think the Eagle Empire will show up anytime,” Wynter said with a forced smile. Casey forcibly smiled back.

”Oh, f-ckkk.”

Wynter nodded at her. So, she contacted her mother, and they changed another bus with a chopper following the bus to the city. They also followed the bus while they are in the van that Jaxon is driving.

Bea picked up her things.

”You can't go with us?” Dino asked again.

”I'm sorry. We have an event tonight.” Bea said and waved at them.

As soon as she left the room, a man blocking the way smiled at her, and extend the bouquets for her. She pressed her lips. She said that she had a boyfriend and left quickly and excitedly.

She went to the parking lot. Noah is waiting under the tree, and she approached him. He stood and wrapped his arms around her.

”We are off to the beach.” Noah caressed her hair. ”I take care of everything you needed for Esme's Party.” He kissed her lips. ”Do you need anything else before we leave?”

”Well, I want to—” She pulled his arms and she tiptoed. ”Make love to you in the car on our way to the resort.”

His smile faded and he quickly pulled her into his arms and she giggled. Then, he opened his car open and tuck her in on the front seat. She giggled as she put her books away and her bag.

Esme called out two of her friends that are only invited to the party. She told her friends not to invite anyone else or tell it to everyone. They are very secretive about her birthday because she didn't want to invite anyone else. Their party is always family and relatives.

They settled their things at the trunk and Esme is laughing with his friends. But Rosie and Zayne always wanted Esme's attention. However, Laurence is here and they are always with Laurence.

Laurence put them to their baby seat. They are also excited about the beach.

”Wait! Is there a seat for me?”

Esme peeked outside.

”Kale?” Esme asked.

”Hi, baby girl!” Kale waved. Esme's smile grew wider. Laurence shut the door and then scroll the window.

”Join the other car. There's no space here!” Laurence said and he grinned at him.

”What—” Kale slumped his shoulders. ”Come on, dude. Open the car. It's twelve-seater!” Kale tried to open it.

Laurence showed his tongue to him.

”Just join the other car for the crew.” Laurence waved him off.

”Laurence, there's four more vacant here,” Esme told him.

”There's no vacant here.” Laurence insisted and he told the driver to leave.

However, his father insisted to open the door, so he had no choice and let Kale inside. But it's a good thing for Laurence that Kale seated far away from Esme.

”You have your damn car.” Laurence frowned at him.

”I wanted to see, Esme. Just shut up, okay?” Kale grinned.
