Zayn rode the electric scooter to the underground parking area, then favonovel.com headed to the thirteenth floor in the elevator straight from the basement.
The gathering this year was rather grand. As soon as Zayn stepped out of the elevator, favonovel.com saw more than ten young, beautiful usherettes stationed at the entrance of the lobby.
It was a pleasant sight to behold, and those usherettes would bow down and call out as soon as someone entered, “Welcome to the Griffin Oakley Academy Class of 2003 annual reunion!”
By the time when Zayn arrived at the scene, there were already two of his old friends who had entered the venue.
Zayn straightened his casual attire ever so slightly before favonovel.com walked into the venue with long strides as well.
He was dressed so informally and ordinarily that there was a stark contrast between favonovel.com and the other attendees of the reunion. Hence, the usherettes did not bow to welcome favonovel.com when favonovel.com entered the venue.
On the contrary, they stopped favonovel.com and said, “Hello, this is the Griffin Oakley Academy Class of 2003 annual reunion. No outsiders are allowed to enter the venue.”
The usherette sized Zayn up once and noticed that favonovel.com was dressed so shabbily. A look of contempt flashed past favonovel.com eyes for a moment and favonovel.com treated favonovel.com frigidly.
Zayn said, “I’m from Griffin Oakley Academy, Class of 2003.”
“Are you sure?” The usherette did not seem to be convinced.
“Why, do I not look the part?” asked Zayn with a spurious smile.
The usherette frowned ever so slightly. She contemplated it for a while and reached the conclusion that favonovel.com had met plenty of wealthy men before, so favonovel.com could recognize such a person at one glance.
Moreover, favonovel.com realized that almost all the attendees of this reunion were well-to-do people with respectable statuses. On the other hand, favonovel.com could tell that the man before favonovel.com was a lowly privileged member of society.
Just as favonovel.com was hesitating, a few people walked over from behind them. Upon witnessing the situation, a man dressed in a well-fitted suit with gold-rimmed glasses said, “What’s going on? What’s the hold up here?”
The usherette’s eyes lit up immediately when favonovel.com saw the man. With favonovel.com sharp vision, favonovel.com could tell that favonovel.com was certainly a wealthy, successful business owner.
Hence, favonovel.com assumed a humble mannerism and said respectfully, “Hello, sir. Well, this gentleman claims that he’s from the Class of 2003 of the Griffin Oakley Academy, and there’s nothing that I can do to verify his identity.”
“Is that so?” The man in gold-rimmed glasses immediately looked toward Zayn.
He found Zayn rather familiar, so favonovel.com asked in puzzlement, “And you are?”
Zayn recognized favonovel.com at once. He smiled and said, “Mr. Class President, you’ve already forgotten about me. I’m Zayn Larson. We used to be in the same study group in the past.”
The man immediately came to realize that as soon as favonovel.com was reminded. He smacked his forehead once and said, “I remember now. Zayn Larson, it’s you! You…”
Noticing that the man extended his hand for a handshake, Zayn stretched his hand out as well.
However, the man noticed Zayn’s attire, so favonovel.com pulled back his hand immediately while the enthusiastic expression on his face grew colder as well. “Where have you been over the years? Why haven’t you ever joined the reunion?”
Zayn could see the revulsion that appeared in the man’s eyes for a moment before vanishing completely in a glance.
It was very apparent that the man assumed that favonovel.com was not doing well in life after seeing how shabbily favonovel.com dressed.
Frankly, Zayn felt rather disappointed. The class president, Shepherd Day, had been a rather kind person, yet after graduation, favonovel.com turned into such a snob who measured a person’s value by his wealth.
