Chapter 287 An Unpleasant Gathering
Abigail had gotten married after she had graduated not long ago. Now that she had gotten a divorce, it was hard for her to respond to her professor’s question.
“I haven’t gone anywhere. I’ve opened a studio with Luna and am mostly working behind the scenes on designs to improve myself,” Abigail replied softly.
Hearing her words, the professor nodded in satisfaction.
Soon, more cla*smates arrived. Even Luna, who was out of town, managed to make it.
As Luna sat next to Abigail, she gestured to her to look at the table beside them.
Abigail was so engrossed in talking to her professor that she didn’t notice someone sitting beside them. When she turned to look, she saw Sean, along with several other individuals she didn’t recognize. They were all dressed smartly and looked professional.
At the same time, Anthony noticed her gaze and instinctively looked over. Upon seeing Sean at the next table, he thought it was quite a coincidence. However, this restaurant had become a preferred gathering place for upscale people because of a famous chef’s recent national recognition, so it wasn’t entirely unexpected. Hence, it was evident that Sean was here to talk business.
Sean seemed to have sensed Abigail’s gaze and gave her a nonchalant glance. Although his expression appeared composed, his gaze was dark.
Immediately, Abigail averted her eyes.
When all the cla*smates were gathered, Anthony told the waiter to start serving the food.
“I know everyone here is very busy, so I’ve prepared everything in advance. If there’s anything not to your liking, please excuse me,” Anthony announced loudly while the waiter served the dishes.
Since it was an open–plan restaurant, when one table spoke, the other table would overhear some of the conversation.
Thus, Sean turned his head and glanced at the table where Abigail was seated.
So, she is here to attend a reunion.
As he thought about it, he averted his gaze. Then, he heard Luna say, “Mr. Booker has always been considerate. I’m sure he has considered everyone’s needs, right, Madam Mora?”
The professor looked at them and smiled warmly. “Anthony is indeed very thoughtful. We have every reason to trust him.”
“Speaking of which, many of us present here are already married. Aren’t your family worried that you are still single, Anthony?” A beautiful female cla*smate, who resembled a movie star, asked Anthony as she propped her chin on her hand. Although she studied design, her striking looks and figure allowed her to work as a model right after graduation. Moreover, she managed her own social media accounts. Thus, she believed that she was doing pretty well compared to Abigail.
Those cla*smates who were married sipped their drinks quietly, not engaging in the discussion.
A male cla*smate with a beer belly and thinning hair teased, “Yeah. Do you not have someone in your heart, Anthony? Are you waiting for someone?”
When Luna heard that, she rolled her eyes and thought, Is it time for a battle between females now? With a smile, she retorted, “If that’s the case, everyone is from the countryside if we trace back far enough. Is anyone here a descendant of the royals?”
“I’m talking about the present, Luna. You don’t have to get so worked up. Plus, Abigail’s reputation online isn’t that great. You guys should stop buying hot searches. The people are getting tired of
