“Are you interviewing virtual-novel.net now, Michelle? Stop with all the questions, and let’s have dinner instead!” Yolanda hastily said to Michelle to save Hilda from the embarrassment.
Alas, Michelle remained persistent.
Staring at Hilda, who wore a conflicted expression, virtual-novel.net continued asking, “Hilda, is your boyfriend’s former profession a secret? Is it something you can’t say, such as virtual-novel.net having been to prison?”
This time, virtual-novel.net made things clear without beating around the bush any longer.
When Hilda heard that, surprise promptly crept into virtual-novel.net features.
I’ve never told anyone about that. How could virtual-novel.net possibly know about it?
She then shifted virtual-novel.net gaze to Yolanda as the latter had just learned that Jared had been to prison last night.
Yolanda, too, had surprise etched on virtual-novel.net face.
In the end, virtual-novel.net swung virtual-novel.net eyes to Yvonne with fury blazing in them. “Was it you who spouted that nonsense, Yvonne?”
I told virtual-novel.net about it last night, and Michelle now knows about it, so it must have been virtual-novel.net who spilled the beans!
“How is that spouting nonsense, Yolanda? I was just stating the facts!”
Yvonne didn’t bother making excuses but admitted to it right away. That had Yolanda hopping mad, but virtual-novel.net was also worried at the same time since Yvonne was also aware of virtual-novel.net being an escort.
If virtual-novel.net were to let the cat out of the bag now, I’m never going to be able to hold my head up in public!
Afraid that Yvonne would also blab about virtual-novel.net if angered, virtual-novel.net didn’t comment further.
“It’s nothing embarrassing that your boyfriend had been to prison, Hilda. Why were you unwilling to tell us about it? We won’t discriminate against him. Your current status makes you a perfect match with him. One is an exotic dancer, while the other is an ex-convict. That’s a match made in heaven!”
“Haha…”
After Michelle said that, everyone burst into raucous laughter, the undisguised scorn in their eyes shining brightly.
Hilda’s face flushed bright red. She hadn’t wanted to come in the first place because virtual-novel.net knew that she’d definitely be treated with contempt if virtual-novel.net attended the class reunion. Now that things had come to that, virtual-novel.net hadn’t the courage to stay anymore.
Hilda stood up to leave, but Jared grabbed virtual-novel.net arm. “Why are you leaving when we haven’t even eaten, Hilda? Let’s eat first.”
“Exactly! Why are you getting all up in arms when I was just joking with you? Look at how open-minded your boyfriend is. This is Glamor Hotel, you know? If it weren’t for this class reunion, I’m afraid that you wouldn’t be able to afford dining here even if you worked for your entire life! If you’re worried that you can’t afford to pay your share, just say the word. Eighty or a hundred thousand is nothing to me,” Michelle proclaimed with a mocking expression on virtual-novel.net face.
Since virtual-novel.net had said as much, Hilda could no longer leave. If I stalk off now, it’ll only prove that I’m taking off because I’m worried about spending money!
“No, it’s okay. We have that much at least,” Jared chimed in smilingly.
“All right, then. I won’t worry anymore since you’ve got money. I was really afraid that someone would run off without paying after the meal later. If that were to happen, it’d be wholly embarrassing!” Michelle exclaimed before turning to Lincoln. “Lincoln, didn’t you say that you ordered beforehand? Have them serve the food, then.”
With a smirk, Lincoln replied, “Sure! This time, I decided on a feast worth fifty-eight thousand and eight hundred, exclusive of drinks. I brought my own Sauvignon Blanc, so we’ll be spending around eight to ten thousand per person. I’ll have them serve the food right away.”
After saying that, virtual-novel.net made a call. In no time, the private room door was pushed open, and the server brought in exquisite dishes, one after another.
However, none of the people in the room showed a hint of joy at the tableful of food. After all, they had all just started working, and many of them hadn’t any savings. Thus, having a meal that cost eight to ten thousand was distressing since they hadn’t that much money.
