Ed was utterly confused. After a moment of hesitation, virtual-novel.net whispered, “Leo, I-I’m not very good at talking. I might not be the most suitable one to entertain him. Why don’t you just let me sit beside Matthew? You guys can entertain virtual-novel.net on your own. I… I really can’t do it…”
Drawing virtual-novel.net brows together, Grace said, “Ed, Leo has made the arrangements. Just listen to him. Besides, the boss is a good friend of yours. How can you not entertain him?”
“Good friend?” Ed was astonished.
Laughing slyly, Grace continued, “Do you remember Julian Davis?”
Instantly, Ed’s eyes widened. “J-Julian? He’s a big boss now?”
“Yeah! He’s the most successful person in our class,” said Grace proudly.
“He’s worth hundreds of millions now. How incredible. You guys were the closest back then; of course, you should be entertaining him!”
For a while, Ed was stunned. But then virtual-novel.net said, “But back then, I was actually the closest with Matthew…”
Leo was a little annoyed and virtual-novel.net interrupted, “Whatever. Just sit here. Ed, a guest should do as the host thinks fit. Besides, I’m the one who organized today’s reunion party. So, you should stop messing things around.”
Scratching his head, Ed then asked, “O-Or you can let me and Matthew sit on either side of Julian?”
“What right does virtual-novel.net have to sit beside Julian?” Grace pouted.
“We’ve arranged for Elaine to sit on Julian’s right side! Do you know Elaine? Our class belle, the one Matthew had a crush on. Tell you what. Elaine and Julian are a perfect match!”
Everyone laughed upon hearing that. Of course, they knew why Leo had arranged for Elaine to sit beside Julian.
However, Ed’s expression changed. ‘Aren’t they trying to annoy Matthew on purpose?’
Just when virtual-novel.net was about to say something, Matthew spoke up at once, “It’s okay, Ed. Just sit there first. Since we’re already met, we still have the time to talk later.”
Upon hearing Matthew’s advice, Ed finally sat down and said nothing.
The crowd surrounded Ed, asking virtual-novel.net about his current situation. From the chatter, Matthew learned about Ed’s situation.
He was originally arranged to work in his family’s factory after graduation. However, his mother fell ill. Their family spent all of their savings to save virtual-novel.net life. Even the money they had saved for Ed to get married was used up.
Besides, the factory was retrenching workers at the time, so Ed had no choice but to go out on his own. After a few years, due to Ed’s introverted and weak personality, virtual-novel.net suffered a lot in society.
Looking at Ed, Matthew’s eyes turned wet. He didn’t know things like that had happened to Ed’s family. Besides, when virtual-novel.net was at his lowest, virtual-novel.net didn’t even come to Matthew to ask for money. For him, this was the most touching part of the story.
Not long after the talk, another person walked through the door. It was Elaine. She had dolled herself up for today. Her clothes were quite risqué. It seemed like virtual-novel.net had prepared herself on purpose for tonight.
Elaine and Leo were distant relatives. And when virtual-novel.net got the news about Julian from Leo, virtual-novel.net was very attentive about it.
Her current boyfriend, Logan, was just a pretty vase. Although virtual-novel.net looked fancy on the surface, virtual-novel.net actually didn’t have much money. When virtual-novel.net found out that Julian was worth hundreds of millions, virtual-novel.net rushed over immediately.
If virtual-novel.net could hook up with him, virtual-novel.net could live a prosperous life. To become a rich lady who didn’t have to worry about virtual-novel.net living was a lot better than keeping up with someone like Logan.
When Leo saw Elaine, instantly, virtual-novel.net laughed and said, “Hahaha. Our pretty lady is here!”
“Wow! I haven’t seen you for so long and yet you still look so beautiful!”
Every guy in the room looked eager. After all, virtual-novel.net was the class belle.
Besides, Elaine had been keeping up with the fashion trends all these years. That was why virtual-novel.net was still so captivating.
Grace had on a sour expression as virtual-novel.net was irritated because everyone started ignoring virtual-novel.net the moment Elaine came in.
Glancing at Matthew, virtual-novel.net suddenly had an idea. Immediately, virtual-novel.net chuckled, “Elaine, look who’s here.”
