He widened his eyes and blew out the candle.
The curtains were drawn, and sunlight streamed in through the window.
"Elijah, what did you wish for?" Brandon asked with a grin.
Elijah shot back, "Do you tell everyone your wishes every time you have a birthday?"
Everyone laughed.
Elijah cut a piece of cake and placed it in front of Violette.
"The first piece is for you." Violette pushed the cake back towards him.
"I can't eat that much." He put down the knife, picked up a fork and took a small bite. He then handed the cake back to her.
Between the two of them, it was as if a huge love bubble separated them from everyone else.
Everyone started joking around—
"Should we start calling Violette Mrs. Bourne now?"
"Why don't you give it a try? I don't think the boss would mind!"
"Hahaha! Ms. Dennis probably wouldn't mind either, right?"
...
Violette blushed and fidgeted uncomfortably, her skin turning red even down to her neck.
"Enough, you guys," Elijah said.
"Alright, alright... Let's eat cake!!" Everyone divided the remaining cake among themselves.
After finishing the cake, they officially started lunch.
"Ms. Dennis, would you like some wine?" Brandon asked Violette, holding a bottle.
Violette shook her head, "I'll just have water."
"How can you just drink water? How about some milk or juice?" Brandon asked.
Violette said, "I'll just have water."
She felt a little dizzy,
probably because of getting up too early and the smell of alcohol in the room.
