As soon as Irene finished, the room fell into dead silence.
Both Ruben and Jemima were fixing their eyes on Irene, stunned by what she said.
Meanwhile, Irene looked complacent with her jaw lifting high while looking at them from above in a patronizing way.
Seeing that, Leo seemed speechless.
Obviously, she was showing them how excellent she appeared.
Besides, she was venting out all her grievance she just suffered at the gate of the hotel.
Still, Ruben and Jemima were staring at her blankly. But then they suddenly burst into laughter.
“Hahaha…” seeing that, Irene fell into a short pause and then questioned madly, “What are you laughing at?”
“Did she just claim herself to be the vice president of Atlas? God, what a joke!”
“Come on, why don’t you literally claim yourself to be the president?”
“Hey, Irene, we haven’t met for a long time ever since we graduated, but it never occurs to us that you are actually so gifted in bragging about yourself despite your humble current status!” Ruben laughed out loud.
Jemima’s crazy laughter even brought some tears in her eyes.
Irene refuted, “But I really am! I am the VP of Atlas!”
“Oh really? Who is gonna prove that for you?”
Ruben felt like watching a joke, “Irene, do you have any idea about what it means for being the VP of Atlas? It means wealth and fame! If you were the VP of Atlas, we should have heard of it long ago. But why did we know nothing about it?”
“Yeah, the only VP of Atlas I have ever heard of is a lady named Sophia Walsh. She has been to Hopkins a few days ago and I was lucky enough to enjoy the honor to have a drink with her. But I didn’t get her number. What a pity!” said Jemima.
Hearing that, Leo just shook his head.
Among the three VPs of Atlas, Irene had been keeping a low profile and she wasn’t a person good at dealing with social occasions. Besides, she always wired every penny she earned to provide for her family.
But these people in the room simply denied it.
“I can prove that for her!”
Caroline suddenly yelled loud while staring at Ruben and Jemima with disdain.
Both of them shifted their gaze and stared at her. Then their laughter sounded again.
“Another brag!”
“Hey, man, I got a suggestion for you. Stop hooking up with girls with pretty face only. You know what. Intelligence also matters. Look at my girl, she’s a brilliant one.” Ruben smiled at Leo.
But Leo only replied with a smile. He still continued with the food.
Now he couldn’t help growing a sense of sympathy for both of them.
They were too pathetic to know the truth.
If they learned that Irene was the VP of Atlas while his wife was the boss, what was more, he actually owned J Group at the same time, they would definitely pass out because of shock.
Seeing the silence of Leo, Ruben turned to look at Irene, “Hey, after all, we were classmates. Here is my advice for you. Learn to utilize your charm to hook up with a richer man.”
“Mind your own business!” Irene huffed madly. Since they wouldn’t believe that she was the VP of Atlas, she no longer insisted to convince them.
Now she just wanted to finish the meal and left as soon as possible.
Of course, Ruben also noticed her intention to leave. After some consideration, he suggested, “Jemima, I don’t find it necessary to waste our time here. Honey, why don’t we leave now?”
“Okay.” Jemima agreed.
Leo stood up, “Alright then, let’s go.”
