"Chloe, I can tell you're sincere. Otherwise, why would we promise to treat you to a meal? You won't look down on us no matter what we eat, even if it's just pickles. That's the Chloe we know."
Theo spoke with a hint of excitement.
"Of course not! Haven't you seen me during the early days of my startup? In today's market, it's all about networking. That's how you get things done. What's there to look down on?" I replied in a relaxed tone.
Theo's sincerity had won me over.
"You're someone who speaks the truth and gets things done. That's precisely what we appreciate about you. In the hearts of our classmates, you've always been like a goddess."
I smiled contentedly. "Really?"
"Yes! It's a pity things turned out this way between you and Matthew. If only it had worked out differently," he said with a touch of regret. "Among our classmates, you two getting together, and this being the result... well!"
Theo seemed hesitant, as if afraid to touch on a sensitive topic.
"In fact, I used to keep in touch with Matthew. Back then, a few of us guys would often hang out together and share our thoughts. But later, when Matthew rose to success, he distanced himself from us.
"So, the chances of seeing you diminished, but we've always kept an eye on your situation. We didn't expect things to get so complicated between you two. Well, actually, that's not too bad. He doesn't deserve you."
"People have their own thoughts, you know? I didn't expect that we'd drift apart one day, but for now, I have to say I made the wrong choice. Right from the beginning," I sincerely expressed.
"Yeah, let's get together. I'm going to the capital tomorrow and might not return for two days. So, whenever you guys want to meet, just pick a time that works after I return.”
"Okay, I won't keep you any longer. Chloe, don't worry about Beatrice's situation. I'll take care of it for you! If possible, when I see her, I'll let her know you miss her and want her to come see you," Theo assured me.
"I'd love to see her too, as long as we find her." I quickly expressed my thoughts.
"Great, then I'll take my leave. You must be busy. It's a bit presumptuous for me to see you so suddenly," Theo said, picking up his bag.
"Don't say that! Like you said, we're classmates. Why be so polite? In fact, the distance in the past was my fault. When I return from the capital, let's hang out."
