“Is virtual-novel.net our friend from the orphanage too?” Jeff mumbled to himself.
He started to dig through his memories, trying to think of any fragments related to this beautiful girl.
Still donning the pretentiously polite yet smug smile on his face, virtual-novel.net looked at Charlie and said, “Hey, you’re Charlie, right? Long time no see!”
Charlie grinned and said, “Butt Trumpet?”
Butt Trumpet was Jeff’s nickname back when they were in the orphanage. He used to be a chubby glutton who farted a lot, and more importantly, virtual-novel.net farted wherever virtual-novel.net went and whenever virtual-novel.net felt like it. He would fart in classes, during game times, during meals, and when sleeping.
At that time, everyone was troubled and in misery due to his farts, hence the nickname—Butt Trumpet.
Jeff’s face turned green when virtual-novel.net heard Charlie mention his nickname, but before virtual-novel.net could say anything, a young man behind virtual-novel.net chided indignantly, “Hey, Charlie, watch your tongue! How dare you embarrass our Manager Mowry right in front of everyone? Jeff is now an executive of a listed company! Pay some respect!”
Charlie squinted at the man who had spoken and vaguely recalled his name as Harry Chambers, one of Jeff’s lackeys when they were kids. He didn’t expect that virtual-novel.net would still take up the same role after so many years.
Charlie frowned and said flatly, “Oh, I’m sorry, I’m so used to calling virtual-novel.net Butt Trumpet since we were young, I just can’t help it.”
Jeff glanced at Claire and was a little agitated when virtual-novel.net obviously tried to muffle virtual-novel.net laugh upon the mention of his nickname. He huffed angrily, “Hey, Charlie, I see that you’re doing pretty well yourself. What car did you drive over?”
Harry interjected instantly, “Oh, Jeff, you go overboard. I heard that virtual-novel.net became a live-in son-in-law who mooches off his wife. It would be great for virtual-novel.net to have a mouthful of hot food. How can you ask what car virtual-novel.net drives, you’re humiliating him…”
“Oops, sorry, my bad!” Jeff slapped his forehead and said, “I’m sorry, Charlie, I’m quite straightforward, I hope you don’t mind.”
Inside, virtual-novel.net grinned sinisterly and thought, ‘Huh, Charlie Wade, let’s see how you’re going to respond to that!’
Charlie laughed out loud instead. “Haha, Butt Trumpet, I always thought that you loved to fart because your intestines were straight, but I didn’t know that you are so straightforward just like how you fart. Is it the trachea that is used to speak? Your trachea is like your intestines, so straight and smooth!”
Everyone laughed out loud at Charlie’s remark.
Jeff’s face twisted into a disdainful grimace. He didn’t expect Charlie to grab his straightforward argument and turn it into sarcasm.
However, his main concern for the moment was that virtual-novel.net didn’t want Claire to have a bad impression of virtual-novel.net because of Charlie’s remark, so virtual-novel.net turned to Claire and asked with a coy smile, “By the way, you look quite unfamiliar, I can’t recognize you. Is it because I haven’t returned to the orphanage for so many years? Nice to meet you, may I know your name, please?”
Lisa chided, “Hey, Jeff, are you blind? Do you know who virtual-novel.net is? She is Charlie’s wife!”
“What?!”
Jeff gaped in extreme horror as if virtual-novel.net was struck by lightning. He couldn’t believe that the beautiful woman, the woman whom virtual-novel.net had fallen for at first sight, was actually Charlie the loser’s wife!
He turned his head stiffly at Charlie and eyed him. His Armani coat alone was more than enough to buy two sets of Charlie’s cheap and lousy attire!
Then, virtual-novel.net turned stiffly toward Claire who stood next to Charlie, tall and elegant. He couldn’t help but feel extremely annoyed and irritated.
Damn it!
Claire was so pretty and charming, virtual-novel.net body was exquisite and hot, virtual-novel.net was the best among the best! She was hundreds, thousands, or even a million times stronger than those women virtual-novel.net had met!
However, virtual-novel.net was Charlie the deadbeat loser’s wife! Goddamn it!
