My Wasted Husband Is in Power, Now! novel Chapter 430

As they were talking, another boy entered the room, clad in white and carrying a birthday cake in hand.

"May I ask who is Mr. Colton Henley?" the boy asked.

Colton said, "I am."

The boy maneuvered over and handed the cake he was carrying to Colton. "Mr. Miller, this is the birthday cake you ordered from our store."

Pindrop silence ensued, and only then did Colton believe that the luxurious 1.5-meter high cake was really ordered by Lauren's husband!

Besides, the cake that he ordered was not even one-fifth of the height of the cake! How could he not feel embarrassed! The birthday cake he ordered was nothing compared to Jordan!

Meanwhile, Jordan did not continue to embarrass Colton. He didn't know Lauren's classmates at all. However, since Lauren was willing to come to the classmates' reunion, it meant that she still had a good relationship with this group of classmates. Otherwise, given Lauren's family background, how could she possibly attend the classmates' reunion?

Nowadays, classmates' reunions were basically meaningless and only initiated by those who were doing relatively well. The purpose of the gathering was to either show off or to find out where their classmates were working, in case they could use each other in the future.

Jordan didn't want to disturb Lauren's gathering and was just there to give her a surprise. Since he had already delivered the surprise, Jordan said, "Honey, go ahead with your gathering. I'll head off first."

The reason he did not stay was because the classmates' gathering was his wife's private event and there were lots of male classmates there. If Jordan stayed, it would look like he didn't trust his wife and had to keep a close eye on her.

He did not want to give Lauren that kind of feeling again. He wanted to tell Lauren that he trusted her completely.

However, seeing that Jordan was about to leave, Colton interjected, "Since Lauren's husband is here, why don't we all sit down and have a meal together. Don't go."

Likewise, her female classmates quickly asked him to stay behind. "Yeah, come join us. We don't have many people here anyway. There are still lots of empty seats here."

Jordan looked at Lauren in a bid to ask for her opinion.

Since Lauren didn't object, Jordan said, "Okay, I'll pour Lauren some wine then."

Lauren smiled and a few of them returned to their seats. Colton sat in the middle, clearly the most domineering one.

After sitting down, Lauren introduced each person to Jordan one at a time, and when it came to Colton, he deliberately pointed out his identity as the class president, as well as his father's job and position as a government official.

Jordan could also tell that Colton had the best career among all of them, and was also the one who liked bragging the most.

After being introduced to each other, Colton suddenly asked Jordan, "Dude, which unit do you work in?"

A male classmate laughed and said, "Colton, you shouldn't rub salt in others' wounds. Didn't Lauren just say that her husband is jobless?"

With a look of embarrassment, Lauren said self-deprecatingly, "Yes, my husband and I don't have any proper jobs, unlike you guys who work in big corporations who hold high statuses and great power."

Colton immediately put down his cutlery and said, "Lauren, that's not right. You and your husband are different. Everyone in DC knows that as long as Lauren wants to work, she can enter any unit she wants. All it takes is one word. But your husband seems to be... It's okay, Jordan, you seem to play the piano very well and your voice is nice too. How about I get you a job at the bar as a singer? A hundred bucks a night for singing a few songs from eight to eleven at night. It's not tiring either."

A male classmate laughed and said, "Yeah, you can make three grand a month. That sounds like quite a good job."

Colton also laughed and said, "I should help a classmate out."

Jordan could tell that Colton, the class president, was deliberately making him feel embarrassed.

In all honesty, Jordan couldn't be bothered to go to work. Even if he really couldn't find a job, the Howards would still be able to give him an allowance of at least three grand a month.
