As Maximilian’s classmate in junior high school, Carmen didn’t care what these people belittled him. But he couldn’t bear to hear them belittle Maximilian.
If it wasn’t for the urgent need of money, he wouldn’t come to the class reunion, let alone get Maximilian into trouble.
Maximilian took a taxi to the door and sent a message to Carmen, “I’m here. Where are you?”
Carmen stood up and said, “I’ll pick him up. You wait here.”
“Let’s go down and see how he’s doing.” Sinclair said with malicious intent.
The main reason why he asked Maximilian and Carmen to come to the reunion was to show off his abilities in front of them and to mock Maximilian and Carmen for fun.
Everyone in the room agreed, and had already thought about how to make fun of Maximilian later.
“What if he’s successful?” A boy with glasses whispered.
“If Maximilian can succeed, pigs will be able to fly into the sky.” Sinclair was the first to question with a snort.
The crowd laughed, “How can it be? No matter how successful he is, at most, he may just get the basic salary.”
Carmen forced out a smile and said, “Sinclair, can you lend me $50000 now?”
“Why are you in such a hurry? Look at you, you are in such a hurry for this little money. No wonder you are good at nothing,” said Sinclair contemptuously.
Carmen was embarrassed, he had to flatter him and said, “Sinclair, I’m just an ordinary person. Fifty thousand is already a big sum of money for me, unlike you, I know you can earn one hundred and fifty grand every day.”
Sinclair ignored Carmen. Everyone tacitly pushed Carmen to the foot of the wall.
“Isn’t that Maximilian?” Sinclair and others were standing on the steps of the hotel. Sinclair shouted loudly and ironically.
“I haven’t seen you for so many years. How are you doing? Where’s your car?”
They asked questions, and these questions were almost all around his background and fortune. This was not a normal way of getting together.
Maximilian said coldly, “By taxi.”
“Did I hear you right? Did you take a taxi? “ Sinclair put his hand on his ear, and a mocking smile appeared on his face, “No matter how hard you are, you have to buy a tricycle, right?”
All laughed with cooperation, as if they would be a little more comfortable by making fun of him.
“It’s OK. Don’t worry about it. I’ve been ridiculed by them.” Carmen whispered a word of comfort.
Maximilian said with a smile, “I won’t be angry with these idiots.”
“At the beginning, I thought you were particularly handsome in junior high school, so I was interested in you. I didn’t expect you to be so poor in your career.” Said the coquettish woman next to Sinclair.
Maximilian also remembered this woman. Her name was Serena. She did like him for a while but he had no feeling for her. And he saw that she was a dissolute person.
However, he was very puzzled, what did this woman’s unrequited love have to do with him.
“You should be glad that you’ve been my woman instead of following this coward, Serena, or you will regret it all your life.” Sinclair laughed.
Serena enjoyed the scene very much. She cast a scornful look at Maximilian, “I guess he is still so hopeless. Besides, how can he compare with you?”
After hearing these words, Sinclair felt very satisfied and looked at Maximilian proudly.
