When she was walking into the fancy party arms in arms with Louis, it caused a stir among the people there.
The women who dressed up for the party looked at Louis who was gorgeous, elegant and noble in fascination.
And those men who were in suits were attracted by the mermaid princess in water blue gown standing by Louis.
Suddenly, all the people in the party were focused on Jessica and Louis who seemed to be a luminous body, shining with bright light.
Jessica grabbed Louis's arms tighter subconsciously, and she didn't get used to be gazed by so many people at the same time.
Every time she moved her steps, the glittering sequined fishtail gown would be flying out and cast a light which made her like a fish that was travelling in the deep sea and made lots of ripples.
She was stunning.
Jessica was like a mermaid princess who walked out of the fairy tale. She was holding a gorgeous prince's arms and every step she moved and every smile she gave was as beautiful as a dream.
The moment she showed up, she was like shining sun and became the center of the attention.
"Ha-ha, Mr. Carter, I finally got a chance to see you here…"
A man who said in a cheerful voice.
Louis nodded his head politely and said, "Mr. Cox, you flattered me."
Robert Cox, the leader of Sky Entertainment.
"Mr. Carter, you flattered me! Brenda is the artist of our company. And thanks to you, she can hold her birthday party on the cruise tonight." Robert Cox was smiling while he was peeking at the beauty by Louis's side.
Louis twitched his lips slightly and didn't say a word. He just got used to be quiet.
Robert Cox knew Louis and he was sensible that he waved his hand and asked the bartender to come, "Mr. Carter, let me toast to your coming!"
Then he buttoned up the wine.
When they were toasting each other, Jessica realized that the party tonight was held to celebrate the popular Chinese movie star Brenda's birthday.
Brenda was the name that Jessica often heard recently.
Jessica felt her heart was pounding slightly faster.
She didn't expect that Louis would take her to Brenda's birthday party. If Brenda wasn't his lover, would she be his son's mother?"
"Louis, you are here at the party."
A man who said in a gentle but unhappy voice.
Jessica turned back subconsciously and she saw Raymond.
And when she saw the lady who was standing next to Raymond, she was amazed.
The lady was looked so elegant and stunning with a light make-up. Her face was delicate and it was obvious to be seen that she was a beauty for sure.
"Louis…" The lady called out Louis's name gently but it seemed that she wanted to say something but she didn't.
Louis was still a poker face and he nodded his head indifferently and walked over to the bartender and got two glasses of wine. He passed one glass of wine to Jessica.
Jessica was surprised.
She could notice that the beauty in front looked a bit sad…
"Louis, what's wrong with you?" Raymond stared at the wine in Jessica's hand and he was so angry. "Do you need to be that presumptuous in front of Brenda?"
Brenda?
Jessica was shocked and froze.
She looked at the beauty who was dressed in a light pink chiffon low-cut gown which perfectly showed her curvy body figure.
The beauty was the "moonlight" of Louis Carter- Brenda White.
Jessica's forehead was sweating.
Thinking of the scene which she was forced to jump off from the third floor by Louis, her heart ached since she knew that Louis did that to protect the lady who was standing in front of her.
"Raymond, stop it…" Brenda still said in a gentle voice and shook her head to Raymond gently.
Then she looked at Jessica and smiled at her elegantly and politely, "nice to meet you, I am Brenda White."
Brenda White… Jessica was shocked when she heard about her name.
Then she thought of what Keith said to her that The Night and the "Shine Project" were the gifts to Brenda White.
Jessica was heartbroken when she figured it out.
She lifted her lips and smiled at Brenda as well, "I heard about you, Miss White. So nice to meet you. I am Jessica Wilson, Mr. Carter's secretary."
She emphasized on the word "secretary" on purpose because on one hand, she didn't want Brenda misunderstood her relationship with Louis, and on the other hand, she wanted to draw a demarcation line with Louis as well.
Brenda seemed to be relieved when she heard Jessica's introduction and she nodded gently.
Then she looked at Louis and said in a trembling and lower voice, "Louis, are you feeling better?"
Brenda glanced at his leg worriedly and she choked with sob, "I am so sorry for that night… It was me who made you suffer from the car accident…"
Jessica now figured out that the mysterious lady in Louis's car that night was Brenda! Suddenly, she felt a bit upset and she was holding her wineglass tightly then poured it into her mouth.
Louis's eyebrows slightly furrowed and he glanced at Brenda with his dark and hollow eyes, "I feel better."
His voice was still as cold as ice.
Feeling better?
Jessica couldn't help staring at him and thought in mind that how could he Lie through his teeth?
He had broken one of his leg which was still immobilized with a splint so that he could walked a few steps without a crutch.
He even asked her to help him get his thing out when he needed to pee.
But he was telling Brenda that he was better.
Did he tried to keep his best in front of Brenda who was the woman he loved but tortured her behind Brenda?
The problem was that he was the one who dead determined to save face but Jessica had to suffer what she wasn't supposed to.
