Flash Marriage He Made My Jaw Drop
Chapter 16
“Of course not! Hendrix organizes this reunion, and he said it’s on him.” Lainey realized that she had slipped her tongue, and quickly observed Vivienne’s face.
Vivienne frowned.
So Lainey had to tell the truth, “In fact, everyone knows that Hendrix organizes this class reunion just to meet you. He even invites Professor Summer. Since you are married. I don’t want to be a lobbyist at first, but Professor Summer called me, so I can’t refuse him. If you don’t want to go, you can still change your mind now.”
She respected Professor Summer so much, so Vivienne pursed her lips, remained silent for more than ten seconds, and said, “Let‘ s go.”
She didn’t do anything wrong, why would she bother herself so much then.
Lainey smiled and held Vivienne’s arm, “Let’s go, we’re here for Professor Summer’s sake, not for Hendrix. Vivienne, don’t tell your husband about this, I’m afraid he will misunderstand that I am sowing discord and force you to stay away from me.”
“He won’t be so petty.”
Vivienne had unconsciously spoken for Damien.
The two walked in, and the waiter led them to the box.
When the box door was pushed open, everyone inside looked at Vivienne.
The former top student and school beauty, seeing each other again after five or six years, naturally made people look forward to her coming.
There were about 20 men and women in the box. It was very lively at first, but the moment Vivienne came in, they all suddenly became quiet.
Having not seen each other for nearly six years, Vivienne looked at this group of old classmates, they were all a little strange.
Everyone changed a lot, less vigorous and more mature than before.
Some of them had gained weight and had big bellies. Most of them had already married and achieved certain results in various fields.
To put it bluntly, it was also a comparison, and they all wanted others to know that they were doing well.
Men compared their careers, and women compared who married a better husband, or how well they did in the workplace.
Vivienne’s eyes fell on a man in a white shirt. She hadn’t seen him for many years. Except for a little more mature and handsome, there was not much change.
He was Hendrix, and among this group of classmates, he was the best one.
Hendrix’s family was fairly well–to–do. He studied abroad for a few years and did so well there. Now he had returned to develop. He came back and partnered with someone to open a law firm. Not only was he handsome, but he was also young and promising, with a bright future.
Some classmates even lamented that they got married too early.
Hendrix stood up, with a look of excitement, “Vivienne, you’re here.”
Vivienne nodded, avoiding Hendrix’s sight, walked toward an old man, and shouted respectfully, “Professor Summer.”
Professor Summer had retired, and Vivienne was his favorite student. When he saw Vivienne, he showed kindness on his face, “Vivienne, come and sit down.”
Vivienne found a seat and sat down. Immediately, some male classmates came to their senses and said, “Look at our school belle, we haven’t seen you for almost six years. Why are you still so beautiful and well–maintained? The moment you entered the door just now, It’s like a fairy descending to earth.”
Before Vivienne came, everyone speculated whether Vivienne would become a sloppy housewife, or whether the years had ruined her beautiful face. After all, Vivienne had no contact with anyone after graduation. She just got closer to Lainey, so no one knew her recent situation!
Vivienne just smiled politely, and another female classmate deliberately asked, “Vivienne, we were mentioning just now, you were a top student back then, and you were the second student from our school to be admitted to Harvard. Which company do you work for now? I hear that those who come out of Harvard should at least start with an annual salary of hundreds of thousand.”
“That’s right. In our class, only Vivienne and Hendrix were admitted to Harvard. Of course, they must have done better than us.”
“You tell me! Now Hendrix has opened his own law firm, and I heard that he bought a villa in Mclean Estate.”
“Just now I saw his car, a Maybach, that costs a lot.”
Vivienne was admitted to Harvard but dropped out after only one semester. No one knew about it.
Vivienne looked distressed, Lainey saw this, and helped out, “You guys talk a lot! Now everyone is here, shall we eat? I am almost starving to death.”
As soon as Lainey interrupted, the topic was put on hold for a while, and Hendrix looked over to Vivienne from time to time.
Classmate reunion, when everyone gathered together, must be to talk about the past school life, and then talked about the current situation.
Men could brag as much as they could, married women, in addition to comparing who was better married, they just talked about what skincare products they used, whether it was LA MER or HRlianna, or what color lipstick Dior produced, and what kind of jewelry. Cartier had.
Vivienne didn’t even know what LA MER was. She usually washed her face with skin care products that cost no more than 20 bucks.
Some students asked, “Vivienne, what products do you usually use to maintain your skin? Aww, look at your fair skin.”
Vivienne was a school belle back then, and she was still so beautiful now, which made people envious. Everyone cared about the brand of skin care products she used, and everyone was also interested in her private life.
Plus, everyone knew about the history between Vivienne and Hendrix. At this table, although they didn’t point it out, they knew it well.
Vivienne smiled faintly, “Uh, Clinique.”
After hearing Clinique, they secretly exchanged glances, and the way they looked at Vivienne also changed, showing a sense of superiority.
Lainey couldn’t see that these people looked down on Vivienne, and said, “Vivienne is naturally beautiful, unlike some women, tens of thousands of skin care products can’t help them. Oops, look at your faces, and there are spots? It’s not enough to help just from products, you have to transfer internally, or you can come to my beauty salon, and I will definitely give you a discount.”
Lainey owned a beauty salon, so it was naturally a matter of on- site sales and customer development.
