Chapter 96 - Birthday Party (2) (1/2)

A girl sporting a black strapless dress, walked towards them. The dress had a long slit on the right side, exposing her long, fair leg. Her blonde hairs were tied up in a bun leaving her fair slender neck exposed which was sporting a diamond choker necklace.

She walked straight to Adam, ignoring the rest. Her bright red lips curling up in a bright smile, showing off her pearly white teeth.

”It's good to know that you made it here.” Rachel spoke to Adam, who only nodded his head.

”Happy birthday to you. I didn't get the time to buy you a gift but I will send one later.” Adam added.

Rachel could feel the bile rising up in her throat. 'How could he forget to get her a birthday gift?' She kept her thoughts to herself.

”It's no big deal. You came to my birthday party. That's enough for me.” She replied, trying to make herself look as innocent as she could. ”By the way, Dad was asking for you and your friend.” She continued, pointing towards Blake.

She hated him since they were teenagers. He always stuck around Adam, not leaving him alone. If it wasn't for him, Adam and her could have been in a relationship when they were in high school.

Blake rolled his eyes at her. He didn't like her either. Since her teenage years, the girl had been wanting to be with Adam.

”Alright, where is he?” Adam asked her to which she pointed towards the front of the hall. ”He was there a while ago.”

Adam kissed Stella on the crown on her head. ”I will be back in a while. Do not drink too much.” He added, giving her a stern look.

Stella bobbed her head up and down. It's not like she had any other choice.

Blake pulled Lillian closer, their bodies almost sticking together.

”Don't miss me too much babe.” He spoke up, kissing her cheek. ”Keep an eye on her.” He whispered softly next to her ear after withdrawing his lips.

Lillian nodded her head, understanding what he had said. ”You too babe.” She replied with a wink.

Adam and Blake left the girls on their own, heading towards the direction in which Rachel had pointed earlier.

Lillian and Stella went towards the bar and asked the bartender to prepare their drinks. After their drinks were served, they started talking about the men in their lives.

”Why didn't you say yes to him? The poor guy looked so heartbroken earlier when I had asked him about it.” Stella spoke up taking a sip of her champagne.
