Dennis, who was a native of JN City, had been born with a silver spoon in his mouth, for his family ran a well-known cosmetics company.
But instead of being ignorant and incompetent, he had got good achievements in study since childhood. And he had ever been the man of the hour in his college days.
At that time, however, he had still lost to Duncan in the affection aspect.
Because in his college days, he had lost his heart to Zoe and kept trying to win her affections, but failed.
Zoe had rejected all her many suitors, or she had been in love with Duncan, although the latter had simply been a shiftless fellow at that time.
Precisely because of that, there had been confrontations between Dennis and Duncan until they had graduated from college.
As for Zoe, she had not become Duncan’s girlfriend in the end. Instead, she had returned to her home city and lost contact with Duncan after graduation.
Now, Duncan would not dispute with Dennis anymore. But when he had heard Zoe’s name, the past flashed across his mind again.
Zoe was from out of JN City. In fact, she and Duncan had been brought up together. Their two families were equal in strength and status. And before Duncan had been kicked out of his family, their two families had even intended to make him and Zoe married.
But for some reason, Duncan had been kicked out of his family. Reluctant to lose Duncan, Zoe had followed Duncan to JN City, trying to persuade him to return to his home. Finally, however, she had been taken back to her home by her family.
After that, Duncan had got married with Alyssa.
“Hi, Duncan, glad to see you here!” Dennis greeted, his voice breaking into Duncan’s thoughts.
Different from Duncan, Dennis was so narrow-minded that he failed to let go of the past.
He hadn’t expected Duncan to attend the class reunion before. But now that Duncan was here, at the thought of the past events, as well as the purpose of this reunion, he certainly wouldn’t miss the chance to humiliate him.
As he spoke, he walked up to Duncan, staring at the latter.
Seeing that Duncan was simply in a casual suit, he looked away, and his lips curled in a contemptuous smile.
“It seemed that Duncan was hard up!” He sneered in mind.
He said to Duncan with a fake smile, “How have you been? Long time no see. Where do you work?”
“I met Duncan a few days ago. He seems to be a security guard in a bar!”
Before Duncan could say anything, a mocking feminine voice suddenly sounded at the door.
All the people present turned around and saw that Jane, who was well-dressed, coming towards them with a Louis Vuitton bag in her hand.
After having been dumped by Scott, Jane regarded Duncan as her most hated enemy.
When she had just stepped into the door, she had happened to hear Dennis’s words, so how could she miss the chance to humiliate Duncan?
Of course, she didn’t know Duncan’s true identity in Mysterious Midnight Bar. But she didn’t care about it. All she wanted to do was let Duncan lose face in front of the classmates.
Upon hearing her words, Duncan’s eyebrows knitted together in a little frown. But on sober reflection, he didn’t want to explain it. After all, he didn’t care what others think of him.
“You’re a security guard in a bar? Tut-tut, I expected better of you, Duncan. How about coming to work in my company? I’m now the sales manager of my company, earning forty thousand a year. Since you’re my former classmate, I’ll recommend you for the post of a salesman in my group. It’s better than being a security guard, isn’t it?” A man named Jeff Hancock stood up, flaunting his success.
Taking a look at him, Duncan smiled indifferently, “Thanks. But I like the job I have now very much.”
