Everyone who lived in Lilac Court had outstanding jobs, and they were all famous figures in their respective fields.
Although I'm sure they're all busy .. They were willing to wait here just to celebrate with me.
"They're all cheering as if you received a Kaleido Honor Award or something." Nolan spoke with annoyance, but he kept smiling.
"Everyone, we're ready to start the party. Come to the yard before the food gets cold."Josh exclaimed, as if he had waited for all the welcome to die down.
Josh is the apartment manager, and the food is the best, so everyone smiles when they hear it.
"Yes. I also made some food." Carlo.
"Give hors d'oeuvre and drink to me." Said Ryan.
Carlo, Kaleido's number one chef, and Ryan's best bartender helped too ?!
"Okay, let's start the celebration!" Mr. Chrysler loved events like these, and everyone cheered in his spirit.
“Alright, one more time. Julia, congratulations on your award! " He yelled when he opened the bottle of champagne, and everyone congratulated me again.
I have been blessed to be surrounded by good friends like them. I'm so grateful.
My tears are a sign of my happiness right now. And I'm happy, celebrating with Nolan by my side.
"I'm really glad you guys would throw a party in my honor like this. Thank you very much, Mr. C."
“No, no, we are all touched by how hard you work. You're already considered family, so that's natural. So, let's have fun!" Bring Mr. C
We made a toast, and everyone began to eat the food that had been served.
"Stay, that's an incredible achievement. I read it too, and I think it's an amazing article." Paul commends.
"Yes. Your article has a completely logical argument. Absolutely perfect." Timo agreed.
"You two praised me like that... I'm happy." I smiled when I heard them say that. "Even though you two are much better researchers than I am. I can accept that award just because of all your help. We work as a team, so I've learned a lot."
Paul and Timo were both researchers from the same lab I worked at, and they were very helpful partners. I can be a researcher because I follow in the footsteps of Paul - my childhood friend, he's a great veterinarian, and also a researcher. In the meantime I am also indebted to Timo, because he also helped me a lot as a senior researcher.
"Simplicity is a virtue, but it is not suitable for this occasion." Timo.
“You got that award because you worked hard for it. You should have more pride in yourself." Paul disagreed with my words.
"Thank you, both of you." I am glad to have friends like them.
“You will always be my childhood friend, whom I can be proud of. Aren't you gonna give me a kiss congratulations?" I actually know Paul was joking.
"No." Nolan, who was drinking wine by my side, grabbed Paul by the collar as he tried to hug me.
“I can't let my guard down even for a second. Can you refrain from touching it without permission? "Nolan glared at him, and Paul casually shrugged.
“You're narrow-minded. You're even jealous just because of a hug?" Paul starts teasing Nolan.
"If you think I'm acting jealous, that means you should feel guilty." Nolan said grimly.
"The two of you, even got into a fight at a party. Paul likes Julia, and Nolan gets really jealous, just as crazy then! You guys scare her, come here Julia... Run to me if you want." Cody smiled and winked at me. His actions just now could make the crowd of his fans faint. She was even very charming without trying at all.
"You're just pouring fuel into the fire, Cody." Tegur Miguel
"Yes! That's right." Joy.
"Remain still, it looks like we'll have more to celebrate. That's good."
"What are you talking about, Miguel? Did you win some kind of award too?" My toot.
Miguel is in the Kaleido swimming team, and made an incredible recovery after their club faced a major setback, so he is highly respected.
“Not me. But Joy." Miguel.
"Joy?" I tilted my head in confusion.
Joy is an amazing stylist, but I wonder if there's some kind of gift related to fashion?
"Actually, I'm engaged." Joy whispered in my ear, as if we were exchanging secrets.
"What...?" I closed my mouth trying to contain my surprise.
"I'm thinking about when is the best time to tell everyone ... Then I heard about your award, so I thought it best to wait until after we celebrate." Joy.
"Isaac ... Congratulations, Joy! You don't have to pay so much attention to me." I gave her a hug to congratulate her.
“Do not like that. It's a once-in-a-lifetime debut, so we should celebrate with everything we've got. And make sure you celebrate my engagement with everything you've got, too." Joy said jokingly.
"Of course!" For me, Joy was the first friend I made in Kaleido, and she was my best friend.
By the way, he had a long distance relationship with his girlfriend for a long time. This is a good time for them to start talking about engagement.
"What's wrong? Why are you two so excited about it all of a sudden?" Paul asked astonished to see me and Joy whispering with excitement.
"Well, this is a party anyway. Shouldn't we be excited? It's better than being jealous like you two." Cody sneered.
“I said I'm not jealous. There's no need for me to be jealous." Nolan snorted and grinned.
Nolan always kept his head cool.
I'm sure she doesn't need to be jealous because she believes I love her, but ...
Does he not want to make me his own?
My chest suddenly hurt. I'm reminded that Nolan and I haven't talked about getting engaged.
That's great for Joy ... If she's engaged now, it means they're committed to being life partners with each other. I wonder what Nolan thinks of me?
"Nolan, Joy said she just got engaged." I told him about Joy.
"Is that so? If you need a prenup written, can I make it for you?" Nolan asked Joy.
"We don't need that." Joy is cold.
"With that, you can avoid problems when divorced." Nolan remained firm.
"I don't want to think about divorce right now. Besides, we're not billionaires, so I don't need them." Joy looks fed up. "What about you, Nolan?"
"I'll think about it when the time comes."
Nolan sahut flat.
