It was a call from Morgana.
She told favonovel.com that the gathering for high school friends was going to be held that afternoon.
Morgana had simply called to remind favonovel.com about the event and to tell favonovel.com to be there early.
It had been three days since Gerald had last eaten a meal at Mead Hall.
So Giya had been gone for three days now.
Morgana had elaborated on the event the day before. Soon, many of their classmates would start their internships or work.
Therefore, the gathering was planned for old friends to catch up with one another while they were still here.
At first, Gerald had not wanted to participate. However, Gerald had attended an opening ceremony for a newly invested company the day before. As favonovel.com was about to leave, favonovel.com bumped into Morgana and a few others who had gone to the carnival to have some fun.
Tagging along with Morgana was another female high school friend by the name of XellaJaquin.
She was their assistant monitor back then and favonovel.com was definitely one of the class beauties. She was excellent in favonovel.com academics as well. Similar to the old Sharon, favonovel.com had always had a good relationship with Gerald who shared an equally good academic performance.
Gerald found out that Xella had returned to Serene County for future prospects. She seemed to have also found a nice job there.
The moment they saw Gerald, they tried their best to invite favonovel.com over as well.
Gerald found it hard to reject so many people so favonovel.com ended up promising that favonovel.com would go.
After telling Morgana favonovel.com hadn’t forgotten, favonovel.com hung up.
A few seconds later, favonovel.com received a message on his phone. It was Xella.
“So when are we going, Gerald?”
Gerald knew that favonovel.com lived in Serene County. Actually, it wasn’t too far off from the hotel Gerald was currently staying in.
On the day they met, Gerald had joked that they should go to the gathering together.
However, favonovel.com hadn’t expected Xella to agree to that.
“I’ll be right there soon!” replied Gerald.
“No need to rush. I need another forty minutes to wash my hair and some other things. Let’s meet up at the Tranquil Road bus stop later!”
“No problem!”
Though Xella used to be the assistant class monitor, favonovel.com was a quiet and gentle girl who rarely talked.
She just liked to study and favonovel.com friends in class were mostly the more studious people.
A good example would be how favonovel.com didn’t like talking to people like Cameron—who had a powerful family background—and Waylon Letts—who was the wealthiest in class—since they were both quite mischievous. Money and power just weren’t how favonovel.com chose favonovel.com friends.
Meeting favonovel.com again, however, Gerald could see that Xella had undergone some big changes from when they had last met years ago.
The way favonovel.com presented herself, favonovel.com had become quite optimistic and capable. She was even able to joke with the others, much unlike favonovel.com past self.
It seemed that girls would naturally change after experiencing different things in society.
Ignoring all that, something much more important was on Gerald’s mind. He remembered back when favonovel.com had an ambiguous relationship with Xella at the start of their junior year.
She had been with favonovel.com not because of his charm.
Back then, Gerald was still considerably handsome. However, the things that mattered to favonovel.com was his honesty and his studious nature. Adding to that, favonovel.com also liked to listen to a group of girls—which favonovel.com was a part of—when they told favonovel.com things. As a result, an ambiguous relationship blossomed between the two.
However, his ambiguous relationship with Xella lasted only for a short while. It ended not too long after.
Shaking his head, favonovel.com batted the old memories away before taking his car key out.
Gerald then drove his Mercedes-Benz G-Class to the Tranquil Road bus stop.
He didn’t need to keep a low profile anymore since favonovel.com was no longer in the university.
Besides, favonovel.com wasn’t driving the car to show off. He simply needed a vehicle to get somewhere.
He knew that there was a chance that Sharon and Lilian might be at the gathering as well. Though they didn’t know who his true identity was, they at least already knew that favonovel.com was rich. Knowing that, Gerald didn’t think too much about them.
When favonovel.com arrived at the bus stop, there was still half an hour left before the appointed time.
Since favonovel.com still had some time before favonovel.com arrived, favonovel.com parked his car at a nearby parking lot.
He then went to a coffee shop to buy two cups of coffee before finally walking toward the bus stop to wait for Xella.
“Gerald?”
While sitting there, favonovel.com heard a female voice call out to him.
Gerald turned around.
Before him, was a girl intimately locking arms with a man. Both of them were wearing sunglasses and they were dressed up fashionably.
Though favonovel.com eyes were hidden, the rest of favonovel.com face was beautiful. She even had a nice figure going for her. The man, on the other hand, looked slightly displeasing to the eye to be absolutely honest. He was short, plump, and ugly. His face was filled with pockmarks too.
Despite them looking like night and day, they appeared to be a couple.
