Chapter 55 Mrs. Farrell
It was only a class reunion where old classmates dined and chatted together, but actually, most of them had other purposes.
Some showed off their wealth, some showed off their good family background, and others who were well dressed up couldn't wait to call those old classmates above mentioned daddy.
In Rebecca's words, "Faye, you're the simplest without any purpose among the crowd there."
The organizer of today's party was their monitor at university. It was said that he was the vice president of a listed company.
But at the age of 26, he looked 40, with a beer belly and thin hair on his head. Standing here, he indeed looked like a boss.
A few old classmates, who knew about the ways of the world, stood in front of him with their wine glasses, flattering him.
He was flushed with success. "Well, one is likely to feel desolate if one is too outstanding. The richer he is, the more empty he feels."
Someone beside him booed, "Are you married?"
"Over the years, I have devoted myself to my career without time for love."
Someone immediately said, "Really? For such an excellent man like you, young girls are throwing themselves at you one by one, aren't they?"
He posed as a leader and pretended to be modest. "I know I'm very excellent. Speaking of which, there are several female university students in their early twenties chasing after me. But I have nothing but a bottom line. So I can't rob the cradle."
The man talked all the time, and those beside him echoed his words and curried favor with him.
Faye usually eats light food. There was no food to suit her taste tonight. "One's achievement is up to how big he thinks."
Rebecca picked up the juice in front of her and drank it. "So much for his achievements."
Faye didn't answer, turned her gaze to show her approval.
After a few drinks, he was ready to go to the bathroom.
Then four or five male classmates accompanied him intimately, walking outside the private room.
The man waved and said, "I'll go by myself, and you don't have to come. In the company, I'm always surrounded by a group of employees. Now it's so hard to come out and party with you. We are old classmates. You also do so. How distant!"
Although he said so, the elation in his eyes was hard to hide.
After he left, people in the private room began to whisper.
Several male classmates were full of contempt. They despised him and ridiculed him as a nouveau riche in a roundabout way, which was completely different from when the man was present.
Some female classmates, who wanted to take shortcuts, discussed if the man had a girlfriend, in the hope of marrying a rich man.
The woman sitting next to Rebecca was one of them, smiling lightly and thinking that others didn't know her mind.
"He doesn't have a girlfriend. Is it because he aims too high?"
"I've actually always admired him."
She said with a sweet smile. Rebecca was sitting beside her and eating her spicy duck head. After hearing her words, she was too sick to eat another bite.
Rebecca looked sideways at Faye. "I'm so sick of this meal."
Faye kept calm. "Now that you're here, you have to wait until the party is over."
In the bathroom, several male classmates were making water. During this, someone mentioned Faye.
"Steven, is she who was sitting next to Rebecca Faye?
Steven was a little drunk. He lifted his pants as he responded, "Yes, she is Faye."
"I haven't seen her for years. She looks as beautiful as before."
Steven walked to the sink to wash his hands. "I remember that our monitor pursed her before."
The man mentioned twisted his head, and scoffed, "It's true. I was young and ignorant at that time."
