Most of the tables were booked by Jessie. While there were a lot of people, most of them knew each other, more or less.
As soon as Becky finished her business dinner, she rushed over. Her work outfit consisted of a white chiffon shirt, a striped suit jacket, black trousers, and four-inch stiletto heels, and she didn’t bother to change for the party. In a word, she looked smart and gorgeous.
The heating was on inside the club, and it was teeming with people. After a few minutes, Becky took off her coat.
When she saw her friend, Jessie came over. She was accompanied by a man. It wasn’t until they were a few feet away from Becky that she saw the man’s face clearly. It was Fred Wilson.
Jessie came over and patted Becky’s shoulder. “Do you still remember this guy?”
“Of course!” Becky replied with a smile.
It had been five years since she last saw him, and Fred looked even more handsome now.
Becky looked the tall and handsome man up and down and raised her eyebrows. “When did you come back?”
“Just yesterday.”
Fred took two cups of beer and sat down, handing one to Becky.
Louisa Palmer, who noticed them, came over. “Wow! All the members of Summer Band are here tonight!”
Jessie squealed and jumped up excitedly. “Oh, my God! You’re right!”
Then, she beckoned at a cute guy standing nearby and shouted, “Vernon, come here quickly!”
The man broke into a smile and walked up to them.
Jessie clicked her tongue. “It’s been forever!”
Vernon echoed happily, “Truly.”
“Aw, I miss you guys!”
Looking at the people surrounding her, Becky felt as though she was back in high school.
Just as she was getting sentimental, Jessie suddenly patted her thigh excitedly. “We haven’t been onstage in a long time. Since today’s my birthday, I’ve booked most of the club. We can’t waste such a good opportunity. How about we have some fun tonight?”
