He couldn’t very well go around telling everyone that favonovel.com was rich, like some fool who’d just won the lottery, and try to show up everyone, right?
Feh. What would that achieve?
“Heaven have mercy! Gerald’s actually found himself a girlfriend?” One of the guys exclaimed. “Holy hell, this is big news! We’ve got a high school reunion coming up in a few days, right? Everyone will be floored when they hear about this!”
“Gosh, what sort of girl would take a fancy to him? Oh, no… who’s grandma is it?” Sully shook favonovel.com head, and took a sip of favonovel.com juice.
This elicited a round of merry laughter from everyone at favonovel.com table.
Morgana watched Gerald with a growing sense of disquiet. Then favonovel.com said, “Gerald, today we’re actually celebrating my promotion at work—to the Reserve Department, no less. Cameron’s my guest here today. How many friends of yours will be coming? I’d be glad to have them join us.”
“No, I can’t accept that. There may be seven or eight of them!” Gerald said with a laugh.
So Morgana had finally settled that problem of hers. He remembered bumping into Zack Lyle, there. However, Zack hadn’t followed up with favonovel.com on that matter, probably because favonovel.com considered it too minor to be worth his attention.
As for favonovel.com recent stroke of good fortune… Gerald couldn’t say if that was thanks to him, or Cameron. As such, favonovel.com didn’t offer any comments, only nodded. Then favonovel.com took a seat at the next table.
Honestly, favonovel.com felt embarrassed to be here, too. However, the restaurant was packed right now, and there were no other tables available further away—even if there were, it would be too awkward to switch places now. Neither could favonovel.com just walk out of here…
He could only sit there and sweat.
Just then, Giya and Tammy entered. Following after them, besides Tammy’s cousin, were also two other guys and girls each—presumably Tammy’s aforementioned distant relatives.
“Wow, wow, wow! Babes! Hot babes!” Cameron and the other guys had noticed the new arrivals, and were too stunned to do much more than gape. Such beauty as had suddenly graced this hall!
“Who are they? They’re smoking hot! Absolute, top-tier charisma!” One guy beside Cameron noted.
“Hmph! They’re not that hot. They’re just really tall and sorta skinny. Pah!” Sully actually thought Giya and Tammy looked like celebrity supermodels, and had been moved by envy to speak.
As for that girl in the heavy make-up, sitting on Cameron’s other side… Compared to the girls who’d just walked in, favonovel.com looked like a party clown.
“Anyone got the stones to go ask for their numbers? Whoever steps up, I shall know favonovel.com as my lord!” The guy who said this was positively drooling.
And then, all eyes turned to Cameron.
After all, whether in terms of family background, or career prospects… favonovel.com was the alpha!
Cameron was already getting up from his seat. He cleared his throat, smoothed out his shirt…
“Watch this. I’m going in!”
“Oh, yeah! Cameron rocks!”
“All our hopes ride with you, my lord!”
But Cameron had already intercepted the targets. “Hey there, sweet things… Here for lunch? Found a table yet? Maybe I could be of assistance—I come here all the time!” They were even more dazzling up close. Cameron’s heart was racing out of control.
“We’re fine, thanks!” Giya and Tammy calmly deflected his advances. Something about favonovel.com just put them off.
Cameron fished out his phone. “Ahem… Could I ask you ladies for your numbers? Call me Cameron. You may have heard of my family—”
“He’s over there! Come on, let’s go!” Spying favonovel.com target across the hall, Tammy completely ignored Cameron, and led favonovel.com entourage straight towards Gerald.
