Rachel, covering her forehead, smiled shyly and embarrassedly at Jack, who was in tears and laughter.
"Am I only so generous if I have a terminal disease?"
Jack, who was getting angrier and angrier, couldn't help but flick Rachel's forehead to vent his unhappiness.
After he asked, he found out that Rachel thought he had an incurable disease and became so generous, which made him wonder if he was really so stingy at ordinary times?
Knowing that Jack was fine, Rachel smiled again and took his arm and said coquettishly: "Hehe, I'm glad you're okay..."
Just at this time, the ice cream came up, Rachel happily let go, scooped a piece and put it in her mouth, her clear eyes widened instantly, the aroma of chocolate and the strong cream exploded in her mouth, and all the troubles in the world disappeared in an instant.
Jack watched quietly from the side.
The girl eating ice cream with a smile on her face is like a beautiful oil painting. The girl heals her troubles through desserts, and the boy soothes his soul through the girl's smile.
.....
"Hey, Monica, did you see Jack's notice on the door?" Joey shouted to Monica who walked into the cafe in a somewhat unimaginable way.
He had already asked Gunther, and it was indeed written by Jack himself, but why did Jack admit defeat when the winner had not been decided yet?
Monica slapped the crumpled paper in her hand on the table with a gloomy face. It was the notice written by Jack.
"I saw it..."
Jack's admission of defeat made her lose all the joy of winning, as if he deliberately let her win.
Monica has begun to suspect whether her best friend Rachel was afraid of losing, and then made some shameful "deal" with Jack, otherwise Jack ignored and gave up his title of "Party King".
Joey was also confused. Although he just found out yesterday that Monica and Jack's ideas were somewhat similar, it was obvious that Jack's content was much better. Why did he suddenly admit defeat?
The two discussed for a long time but still couldn't figure out Jack's idea. The best way was to ask him.
"Hey Jack, I saw the notice you posted outside the cafe! Did you let me win on purpose!!"
Monica yelled into the phone.
"Oh no Monica, I did lose, but I lost to myself..."
Listening to Jack's explanation, Monica was also confused. She wanted to ask more questions, but when he said he would come back to explain, she had to sit on the sofa with an unhappy face and sulk.
Jack's notice was posted in the morning, and many acquaintances in the cafe had seen it. After get off work, they discussed this explosive news.
"Fxxx, I still want to have a good time tonight!" Passerby A said in surprise.
"Brother, you should be thankful that you didn't attend that damn party last night..." Passerby B said with some envy. He is still in shock.
"What? Was the party last night really that bad?"
PasserbyPerson A was a little puzzled. He had attended Monica's party before. Although it was a bit boring, it was not that bad.
"That was the worst party I have ever attended..."
Person B shook his head, unwilling to recall the unforgettable experience last night.
Listening to the conversation between the two passers-by, Joey nodded in deep approval, and then was glared at by Monica.
"Was last night's party really that bad?"
If only one or two people said so, Monica would think it was a personal difference, but after sitting in the cafe for an afternoon, she didn't hear anyone praise her party for being interesting, which made her doubt herself.
"Believe me, Monica, it was definitely a disaster-level party..." Joey curled his lips.
Since he turned 18, this was the only party that gave him zero gains.
"But Ross is having a lot of fun..."
Monica's words made Joey even angrier, and he yelled, "Yes! Ross is the only one who is happy!!"
"Ross is the judge! As long as he approves, I can beat Jack!" Monica argued.
"Oh no! Monica! The party is for everyone to have fun!!"
Joey was furious when he recalled what happened last night: "I didn't even get a girl, Chandler's hair was cut, and even Phoebe is angry with Ross now!"
Monica was stunned by what Joey said, and when she was about to speak, she heard a scream.
Looking out the window, a silver sports car was parked at the door, and Jack and Rachel walked out of the car with bags.
Jack felt that his fate was locked at the throat when he pushed the door open. When he was about to subdue the attacker with a grappling hand, he looked closely and found that it was the angry Monica.
"I need an explanation!" Monica carried Jack to the table.
Looking at the notice on the table, Jack also knew what it was. He took out an ice cream from the bag and handed it to the angry Monica, saying, "Don't be angry, calm down first."
Joey took the bag from Jack as soon as he saw that there was food.
"Hey Joey, leave some for everyone..."
"Jack, the car is good." Gunther praised.
"Thank you, it's called Kiara, I think it's great too!" Jack responded with a smile.
"What?"
Monica just reacted and looked at the silver-white sports car outside.
"Hey brother, did you buy a car!?"
Obviously, the news of buying a car attracted Joey's attention more than the ice cream in his mouth.
"I won't let you touch Kiara!"
Jack knew Joey's driving skills very well, and he didn't want Kiara to get another ticket or see it in the repair shop.
Rachel, who was sitting down, also noticed the notice on the table, and looked at Jack who was playing with Joey with a complicated expression.
I didn't expect that what Jack said to me last night was true, and he really admitted it.Admit that he lost.
"Rachel, tell me, was it you who was behind Jack's admitting defeat!"
While the two ran out to test drive, Monica seized the opportunity to question her bestie. In her eyes now, whether her victory was legitimate was much more important than Jack's new car.
"I... I don't know, but Jack said last night that such a party couldn't bring happiness to everyone, and that he lost to himself and didn't deserve to be the 'party king' or something like that..."
Rachel quickly told Monica about Jack's abnormality last night, and repeatedly assured her that she definitely didn't say anything to Jack this time.
Hearing that Jack said something similar to Joey last night, Monica fell into deep thought.
Looking back, except for Ross, she didn't seem to notice a few smiling faces at last night's party.
It seems that her party last night was really bad...
But anyway, she won this time.
But, we can consider Jack's request to hold a party in the apartment in the future.
Monica smiled as she took a bite of the dark chocolate ice cream. Now, it was time to go see Jack's new car.
第二十一章 :万圣节归属
The dinner party was very happy in the evening.
No one mentioned the bet between Jack and Monica. The topic was more focused on Noraya's arrival, Ross's trip abroad, and the upcoming Halloween.
However, what everyone did not expect was that Monica actually decided to let Jack coordinate this year's Halloween party.
"Are you serious? Monica..."
Chandler couldn't believe it. Monica, who had never allowed Jack to hold a party in the apartment, had changed her personality. She was obviously the winner.
"Monica, I love you!!"
Joey, on the other hand, was excited.
Jack was stunned for a moment, and then a warm feeling came to his heart: "Thank you Monica..."
Maybe this is what friends are.
Reaching a hand when you are in trouble, accompanying you when you are lonely, helping and supporting you without asking for anything in return.
Not necessarily harmonious and friendly at all times, but definitely knowing each other's minds, not necessarily inseparable, but definitely cherishing each other.
.....
The temperature in New York has started to drop. After a few days of eating and waiting for death, Jack walked out of the apartment on a sunny morning and began to prepare for the Halloween party.
When Monica said that Jack was responsible, she really didn't care about anything. Jack had to buy everything, such as drinks and decorations, by himself. The food that was always in charge of Monica was thrown to him.
Noraya stopped at the door of Macy's.
Macy's is a famous department store in the United States and even the world. It has everything, covering almost everything that can be used in the party.
But Macy's is positioned as a mid-to-high-end shopping mall. In the past, Monica prepared for the party by buying some cheap things in ordinary shopping malls or even second-hand markets, but he hated the trouble and simply bought directly from Macy's.
Halloween is coming, and Thanksgiving is not far away.
The already lively Macy's is now even more crowded, after all, the day after Thanksgiving is the famous "Black Friday".
By then, shopping malls across the United States will launch a large number of discounts and promotions to conduct the last large-scale promotion at the end of the year. Now many housewives are checking out in advance to prevent not being able to grab their favorite products on Black Friday.
No straight man likes shopping, and Jack is the same. After scanning the things needed for the party into the shopping cart, he plans to check out in a hurry.
Waiting in the checkout crowd impatiently, the phone in his arms rang. Jack thought it was Monica who had something special to say, but he was a little surprised when he heard the voice from the other end of the phone.
It was a man's voice. He couldn't find any acquaintances who matched this voice in his memory, but strangely, this male voice actually made him feel a little familiar.
"Rayden, I have a hunch that this year's Halloween night will be full of miracles and magic! You must come to participate!" The man on the other end of the phone said excitedly.
"I'm not Rayden, you dialed the wrong number..."
TyTed looked at the phone in surprise, and quickly said "sorry" and hung up the phone. He flipped the business card again and found that the number he had just dialed was Jack's.
Who is Jack? Why did he have this business card?
Searching in his memory...
Suddenly, a handsome face suddenly appeared in Ted's mind. Last time, Barney was beaten up by a hot girl at the Okay Club. Jack seemed to be the friend of that hot girl.
Thinking of the last experience, Ted smiled knowingly. Barney seemed to be fascinated by that hot girl.
Just as he was about to put the business card away, Ted's hand froze.
Since the night of the misunderstanding, he could smell a scent of "Barney" from Jack. Maybe he could invite Jack to the Halloween party.
The incident started four years ago.
He met the girl in a sexy pumpkin costume at the rooftop Halloween party, had a wonderful night with her and left her number.
But damn Lily actually threw away the chocolate wrapper with Pumpkin Girl's phone number as garbage.
Since then, he has never met Pumpkin Girl again.
Having lost contact information, he can only hold Halloween parties on the roof every year in the hope of meeting his Pumpkin Girl again.
After waiting for four years, Pumpkin Girl still did not show up, but Ted still had hope. Maybe Jack was Pumpkin Girl's friend?
With this thought, Ted called Jack again: "Hey, Jack, do you remember me? I'm Tate."
"Ted?"
Jack was holding the phone, and was stuffing a lot of bags into the passenger seat.
"Yes, we met last time at the Okay Club!"
"Oh!"
When he said this, Jack remembered it. No wonder the voice sounded familiar. It was Barney's friend who had special properties after being beaten by Gina.
It seems that they brought a pretty friend last time, named... Robin!
When Ted saw Jack recognized him, he quickly asked, "Do you have any plans for Halloween? I've prepared a rooftop Halloween party full of miracles and magic, and I want to invite you and your friends to attend."
In the United States, such party invitations do not seem abrupt. Usually, there will be many people in a party who are not even known to the organizer.
Jack hesitated.
If it were any other time, Jack would definitely agree immediately when he heard about the party, but now he has to consider everyone, after all, Monica has given him the task of planning the party.
"Oh Ted, thank you for inviting me to your party, but my friends and I have decided to hold a Halloween party in our apartment... So, I'm sorry..." Jack shook his head and rejected Ted's invitation.
"That's a pity..."
Seeing this, Ted didn't force it, and hung up the phone after a few polite words.
....
"What? Barney's friend invited meDo we go to his party? "| = | Monica was a little surprised.
| = | I thought of being fiery with herself a second before the last second.
After being beaten, she was obsessed with Gina's blond scumbag, and she would not hit one place.
Later I have n't been intimidating for almost two months, and my friends around you have none of them.
Maybe ...
I can meet a good object in a new environment.
There are too many, and it is difficult to find a suitable intimate object.
Chandler and Rachel don't care. The former has Janice and the latter has Jack. Neither of them has much demand in this regard.
And Phoebe was moved after hearing Jack say that Ted is a very cute boy.
Joey looked at Monica pitifully. If Monica didn't agree, everyone would naturally not abandon her and act.
So, now Monica's attitude determines his harvest for Halloween this year.
"Okay..."
Joey's eye attack finally softened Monica's heart.
