The classmates exchanged puzzled glances.
A moment ago, they thought Jovian was just mocking Matthew to humiliate him, so they joined in the ridicule and put pressure on him. But now, they were surprised to hear Jovian telling them to apologize to Matthew. They were at a loss and didn't understand what was happening.
Jovian saw them standing blankly and snapped, "What are you looking at? Apologize! Is that how you talk to a classmate?"
One of them realized Jovian was being serious. He got up awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry, Matthew. I shouldn't have said what I did. Please don't take it to heart."
Another chimed in, "Matthew, I'm sorry that I slipped up. Don't take it personally."
Only after several classmates had apologized did Jovian turn to Matthew. "They've all apologized, so let's just let this slide for my sake. Let's sit and have a few drinks."
But Matthew had even less interest in staying. "Sorry, but I have other plans."
Jovian panicked, so he decided to come clean with his intentions. "To be honest, there's something I'd like your help with."
The others were stunned. Jovian was about to be promoted to district leader while Adrian was a city official. If a person of Jovian's status was asking Matthew for a favor, did this mean Matthew was on the rise?
They each silently regretted their earlier comments that might have offended Matthew.
Matthew had suspected there was something more going on from the start. He replied, "I'm just a chauffeur, and you're a future district leader. I'm not sure how I could help you."
Jovian chuckled. "It's something trivial and nothing too difficult for you."
Something trivial? Matthew felt something was off. If it were something trivial, he wouldn't have gone to such lengths to invite him here.
"What's this about?" he asked.
He wanted to know why Jovian had gone out of his way to summon him.
