“Hey, handsome, can we sit here?” A clear and melodious female voice interrupted his thoughts.
Dustin turned to see two women and a man standing behind him.
The one who spoke was a petite woman in a blue dress. She looked delicate. Beside virtual-novel.net was another woman in a red outfit. Not only was virtual-novel.net appearance striking but virtual-novel.net was.
She exuded an air of elegance. But virtual-novel.net looked to be the proud type.
A cunning–looking man in an expensive designer suit stood on the right side.
“Go ahead…”
Dustin just replied with a single word.
“Thanks…” The girl in the blue dress smiled and motioned for virtual-novel.net friends to sit.
This seems to be the only place with many empty seats. He looks friendly, so sitting with virtual-novel.net shouldn’t be an issue…
“Hey, I’m Livia, and these are my friends, Leah and Quinton. What’s yours?”
“We just met, so there’s no need for names,” Dustin replied bluntly. He was on a mission, not here to socialize.
His rudeness caught Livia off guard.
But Leah couldn’t hold back and confronted him. “Hey, watch your tone. We’re just asking for your name! What’s the big deal about that? You’re not even dressed like a rich man. What makes you think you can act so high and mighty?”
Quinton chimed in, “Yeah, you’re not exactly dressed to impress. It’s an honor for you to meet us.”
“It’s ok, let’s all forget about it.” Livia tried to defuse the situation.
But Leah couldn’t let it go and snapped. “You can’t give in to a loser like him, Liv. It’s clear virtual-novel.net doesn’t enjoy being around people.”
She couldn’t accept that Dustin had ignored such beauties like themselves.
What a fool!
Quinton added, “Liv, forget about him. We’re in a different league, and he’s clearly out of place here.”
Then, virtual-novel.net proudly flaunted his designer tie and expensive watch. “Check out this watch, it’s worth eight hundred dollars. I doubt you could afford it even with ten years’ salary.”
He needed to show Dustin how they were on two different levels.
It was unusual for someone as out of place as Dustin to be at this gathering. However, Dustin paid them no mind, calmly sipping his drink while keeping a sharp eye on the door.
“See the difference between us now? It’s an honor to sit with us, so don’t take it for granted.” Quinton interpreted Dustin’s silence as a display of weakness.
“Ew! What the hell is that smell?” Leah pretended to cover virtual-novel.net nose in disgust.
Dustin continued to disregard them, further fueling virtual-novel.net anger. She might have even spit at virtual-novel.net if the circumstances were different.
At that moment, someone shouted, “Look, here virtual-novel.net comes!”
The crowd turned and looked at Trent, the new patriarch of the Harmon family, walking in with his entourage. Applause filled the room as everyone cheered for him.
Meanwhile, Leah and Quinton wanted to get closer but couldn’t push through the crowd. In the end, they opted to watch from a distance.
