"No reporters nearby? No paparazzi?" Angela, who tucked all her hair into her wide-brimmed hat, looked around in the car. After putting on her sunglasses, she felt it was inappropriate, so she took them off and put them on top of the hat.
"Actually, I don't think any reporter will notice my car after all the cars in your house are out, otherwise why would you let me be a coachman?" Frank said with his hands spread.
"Okay, okay, then I'll go." Angela nodded, took her gift bag from the back seat, and opened the door and walked out.
"Remember to call me in the afternoon." Frank said instructed.
"Understood, I'm not a child." The girl said without looking back, shook her hand, and pushed open the small wooden gate of the fence into the garden.
The door of the house was wide open, and bursts of joyful laughter came from the house from time to time, accompanied by happy birthday music, Angela quickly accelerated, came to the door in two or three steps, and then knocked on the door frame. : "Hi, is anyone there?"
In the living room, a bunch of boys and girls were chatting hilariously. Balloons, ribbons and bouquets were placed everywhere. The atmosphere was very lively. The two girls closest to the door were attracted by Angela's knock on the door.
"Are you also Jessica's friend? Please come in." The two long brown-haired girls jumped up from the chairs together, came to welcome her with a smile, and only halfway through, they both exclaimed: "Angie Pull!" "Hi, Lucy! Hi, Lily!" Angela greeted with a smile, the two girls are a pair of sisters, both former classmates at St. John's Primary School, and she and Jessica are very close Well, play together often.
"God, I can't believe it!" Lucy exclaimed, "Lily and I both thought you wouldn't come!"
"No? Why?" The girl was a little puzzled, but she immediately reacted, and she was dumbfounded for a while.
"Didn't Jessica tell you that I would come?" Angela looked at the sisters angrily with her hands on her hips, and Lucy and Lily shook their heads tacitly.
"Okay. Even if Jessica didn't tell you, if you think about it a little bit, you should know that I can't not come. I haven't missed her birthday party since the day I met her." The girl sighed.
"God, it's Angela Mason!" At this moment, a male voice came from behind the two sisters, and a handsome boy of about 13 or 4 years old stood next to the chair not far away, looking at him in surprise. Looking at Angela and being called by him. Several boys and girls in the living room who didn't notice this place suddenly turned their attention.
"That's right. Her Royal Highness the Princess of Hollywood, Miss Angela Mason!" A figure jumped over, suddenly jumped up and took off the hat from Angela's head, the soft blonde hair scattered immediately and draped over her shoulders, Add her signature green eyes. Immediately surrounded by Jessica's friends she didn't know.
"Angela! Is it really you, Angela!"
"God, Jessica never told us you were her friend."
"Hello, Angela, I'm your fan, can you sign me?"
Facing these surprised and excited boys and girls, Angela glared angrily at Lindsay, who giggled after taking off her hat and sunglasses, even though she knew she would be recognized eventually. . But she was still very unhappy. The account of instigating Jessica has not yet been settled with her.
"Okay, everyone. This is not my press conference, don't forget what you are here for!" Angela pressed her hands and said loudly, as if to match her words, a lady walked from the kitchen Comes out: "Has something happened, boys?"
"Mrs. Cathy, it's me!" Angela hurriedly squeezed past the boys and girls, smiling and hugging the surprised Cathy.
"Nice to meet you, Angie!" Cathy hugged the girl warmly, and then greeted the others: "Everyone, sit down, I just baked some gingerbread, and I can try it soon."
Seeing these children sitting around him, they all looked at him with a little fanaticism. Angela, who was a little uneasy, hurriedly asked, "Mrs. Cathy, where is Jesse?"
"I just went upstairs to clean up, I didn't expect you to be here." The voice came from the stairs, and at the corner of the stairs, Jessica was lying on the handrail, smiling at the girl, who was dressed in beige A dress, long brown hair that is slightly bent over his shoulders, and pink leather shoes and white stockings on his feet. The whole person looks particularly beautiful, especially since he is much longer, and there is a vague future. charm.
"You don't welcome the guests outside, but hide in the bedroom. You really don't have the demeanor of a master." Angela raised her eyebrows. She originally wanted to hug Jessica when she appeared, but when the other party really After appearing in front of her, she immediately put the decision behind her, apparently resentful that Jessica, at Lindsay's instigation, had not been in contact with her, not even attending her 14th birthday. .
"That's because the guests are all on time, except for one." Jessica jumped downstairs to Angela, looking at her with a smile.
"I know I'm late, but there's a reason for that, I'm..." Angela opened her mouth, but didn't continue to speak. After sighing, she gave up her inexplicable brooding, and then put the The gift bag was handed over: "Okay, happy birthday, Jessie."
"Thank you, Angie." Jessica took it.
"Don't you open it and take a look?" the girl asked with a shrug.
"Do you want to open it here?" The other party blinked.
But Angela didn't speak, just glanced at everyone present with a smile, all the teenagers and girls at this time knew that in the interview that day, Angela's friend who wrote songs was Jessica, and immediately shouted: "Open! Open!"
At this time, Cathy also came out of the kitchen with the baked gingerbread, and said to her daughter with a smile, "Honey, you should open it, or we will open it for you."
"Okay, okay, I'll open it now." Jessica said helplessly, and then muttered: I want to take it back to the room and watch it by myself, making Angela, who is close at hand, slightly stunned.
After the wrapping paper was peeled off, a small white box with a lid appeared in front of everyone. After opening the lid, the first thing you saw was a stack of well-bound drawings, although the cover and content were purely hand-painted. , but still looks very refined.
"Jessica Adventures"
Episode 3, "Haunted House Horror"! Angela said with a smile, and glanced at the same time, dodging and staying aside, Lindsay, who was afraid of being caught by Angela, but also wanted to see what happened, "There are also special guests. "
When Jessica didn't care about this, she wrinkled her nose and whispered in her ear, "You know I don't like ghost stories!"
Although Jessica's breath made her ears itch, Angela still said proudly: "Yes, I know, that's why I drew such a story."
Jessica gave her an angry and amused look, and then picked up the drawing. Obviously, there was something underneath, but after picking it up, she was stunned. Several of her friends who were watching together followed her. Excited, even Mrs. Cathy, who was standing by the side, opened her eyes wide, and the few people in the surrounding couldn't help but stretched their necks to see what it was, especially Lindsay, who was hiding at the outermost, and kept trying to squeeze in. Find out.
Fortunately, Jessica quickly picked up the thing in the back, and everyone was amazed. It was a very simply packaged record, almost a square wrapped in white paper, with carbon on the cover. The pen lightly sketched a girl figure, who was obviously Jessica.
"This is... this is..." Jessica covered her mouth, not knowing what to say.
"The EP I specially went to record. I have completely revised that song to perfection, and it will no longer be out of tune like in the interview." Angela said with a smile.
"But... this..." Jessica still didn't know what to say, her eyes kept moving back and forth between EP and Angela, as if it was about to be covered in mist.
"Angie, you're like this..." Cathy was also at a loss.
"Don't worry, Mrs. Cathy, Disney didn't charge any money, it was made for free," the girl explained with a smile.
In fact, Disney did not intend to ask for money, but Angela still insisted on paying the $8,000 royalties. She knew very well what Disney's free plan was. She just wanted to sign the distribution rights of this song and wait ten After the next year, it will be released under what name and make a fortune. The girl has made up her mind from the beginning that this song will only be listened to by Jessica alone, and there will only be one record in this world, so for Disney's kindness Still thank you.
"Oh, Angie, thank you, I love you!" Jessica couldn't bear it any longer, she stepped forward and hugged Angela tightly, and then gave her a heavy kiss on the cheek.
Angela was a little startled at first, then laughed and hugged Jessica. The boys and girls around couldn't help applauding for them, including Lindsay who was slightly jealous. .
"By the way, Angie, can you come with me?" Jessica let go of Angela, and said, pulling her upstairs.
Although she wanted to talk and wait, Angela ran upstairs with her, waved to the people below, and took a few steps to Jessica's bedroom.
