Wade's gaze flashed with annoyance, but it was quickly replaced with a smile as he turned to look at Wilbur instead. "What should I call you, sir?"
"My last name's Penn," Wilbur said.
Wade nodded. "Mister Penn, it's a pleasure to meet you. May I please ask what you do for work?"
"I'm unemployed."
"Still haven't found a job yet, Wilbur?" Rainie Lark, one of the classmates laughed.
Wilbur smiled. "Yeah, not much I could do about it."
The other classmates giggled. Although they were not really mocking him, it was clear they did not think much of him at all.
Nancy sighed to herself. These girls would lose their minds if they knew who Wilbur really was.
Things had been so simple back then. Their friendship used to be so pure.
Everyone seemed to have changed ever since entering society, and some people had changed more than Nancy could understand.
Just then, Reggie raised his glass and said, "Guys, let's drink to Mister Lynch."
The three girls raised their glasses, and Nancy raised her glass of water out of courtesy. Wilbur did the same as her as well.
Everyone dug into the food, drinking and chatting happily.
Reggie began to boast about just how capable and brilliant Wade was. Ever since he had inherited the position of chairman from his father, Wade had brought the travel agency to heights beyond imagination.
Wade was obviously smug from all the praise, and the three girls were ecstatic as well. These girls never quite had the opportunity to be in touch with people this rich.
