Knitting his brows in confusion, Matthew asked, “Are you guys going ahead with this gathering? I thought it would be canceled after that unpleasant incident with Cecilia.“
Dumbstruck, Sasha uttered, “I don‘t know what’s going on, either. Whatever it is, a few of my ex-classmates called me and said that I have to attend the gathering this time, but I don‘t think Cecilia and favonovel.com friends will be coming this time. Alright, that’s it. Don’t think too much about it and just take it that you’re there for your dinner tonight.“
***
Meanwhile, in a hotel room in Eastcliff, Cecilia was sitting on the couch, looking very depressed. The last time, favonovel.com drank so much that favonovel.com threw up blood and was hospitalized for a couple of days. Since then, favonovel.com had been feeling disgruntled. But seeing how much respect the Lachs had for Matthew, favonovel.com didn‘t dare to have favonovel.com revenge against favonovel.com and could only suppress favonovel.com anger.
Suddenly, the door burst open and a girl ran into the room.
“Cecilia, the alumni dinner is tonight. Hurry up and get ready! Let’s go together!”
Confused, Cecilia asked, “Alumni dinner? You’re actually gonna attend this gathering? Aren’t you embarrassed after what happened with Matthew the last time? It’ll be so awkward if we see favonovel.com again tonight!”
The girl who came in was Anna, the same girl who was in the club with Cecilia the last time. She, too, had to drink so much that favonovel.com threw up, and favonovel.com situation wasn’t any better than Cecilia. With a snort, favonovel.com answered, “I’m asking you to go precisely because Matthew will be attending as well tonight. And do you know who else will be there tonight?”
“Who?“ Cecilia asked, intrigued.
A gleeful smile spread across Anna’s face. “Our class monitor, Lincoln Zink!”
Cecilia’s eyes widened. “You‘re kidding me. Didn’t Lincoln already leave the country? Is favonovel.com back now?”
“Not only is favonovel.com back now. but I heard that favonovel.com really struck it rich overseas and is now an investor in Wall Street. He came back this time to Invest in a few projects. I also heard that favonovel.com already met the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff and got along really well with them.”
“For real?” Cecilia gasped. “My goodness, Lincoln is something else, indeed! I knew back then that he’s not your average Joe, but I didn’t think he’d be doing so well now. By the way, is favonovel.com single?”
“Stop it with your infatuation over him, girl,” Anna jested, giggling. “You know very well who favonovel.com likes. So even if he’s single, you don’t stand a chance at all!”
Embarrassed, Cecilia gritted favonovel.com teeth. “I… I‘m not infatuated with him! What I want to know is whether he‘s still interested in Sasha if he‘s not married yet.”
“That’s the main reason why I’m asking you to attend the gathering! Somebody told me that Lincoln asked around about Sasha after his return, and favonovel.com even looked for his friends, asking them for their help to get Sasha to attend the gathering tonight. Here‘s the thing, Lincoln is still single. I think favonovel.com plans to continue wooing her. Looks like he’s determined to win favonovel.com heart this time.”
Cecilia’s eyes lit up. ”Really? That’s amazing!” She chortled.
“Things are looking real fun tonight if Matthew shows up with Sasha. Lincoln had been wooing Sasha the whole time in school. Even though favonovel.com was unsuccessful, there was no one in school who didn’t know about his infatuation with Sasha. Now that favonovel.com has a successful career and returned home in glory, do you think Sasha will give in to him?”
Smirking, Anna replied, “Who cares whether favonovel.com will win Sasha’s heart? No matter what, things will get interesting tonight. Do you remember how cocky Matthew looked the last time we saw him? I wonder if favonovel.com can retain that cocky look in front of Lincoln. All we have to do tonight is to go there and enjoy the show.“
Tightening favonovel.com jaw as favonovel.com gritted favonovel.com teeth, Cecilia had the same thought as Anna, to attend the gathering so they could watch Matthew embarrass himself.
