There were about twenty people and the atmosphere was quite lively.
The dining table that they had booked was huge as well.
Most of the students there only greeted Gerald casually before turning to look away and continuing talking among themselves.
To them, Gerald was simply a poor loser so he was naturally easy to be ignored.
Going back to Gerald, there was one thing that surprised him.
Both Lilian and Sharon were nowhere to be seen.
“By the way, Waylon, why aren’t Lilian and Sharon here? Didn’t they say they would join us?”
Similar to Gerald, some of the other classmates were also puzzled.
Waylon simply smiled faintly. “They won’t be joining us. They’re not the same as they used to be. They’ve entered rich and powerful circles. They’re arguably the most powerful among us! Why would they ever attend such a small event such as this?”
“Oh my, is that really true? What else do you know, Waylon?” asked Xella who was sitting beside him. Her curiosity had gotten the better of her.
“Well, Sharon’s found herself quite a powerful boyfriend in Mayberry. Do any of you know about Yorknorth Mountain Entertainment City?” said Waylon as he lit a cigarette.
“Of course we all do! It’s net famous! Yorknorth Mountain is going to be developed and transformed into a tourism, food, and culture focused city. Literally everyone has heard about it!”
“Well, Sharon’s boyfriend came from Yorknorth Village, though the village has now been demolished. But that’s beside the point. See, her boyfriend’s family owns a few shops on the commercial street in Yorknorth Mountain Entertainment City. The amount of money they’ll be earning in the future will be almost impossible to calculate!”
“Holy cr*p! They sound really powerful!”
Hearing that, everyone was astounded.
“Her boyfriend’s name is Hayward, and he’s quite famous in Mayberry. I had visited Mayberry last month for a little entertainment and fun. I called Sharon while I was there and met up with her boyfriend too. We had a meal together and exchanged contact information too,” said Waylon rather proudly.
“D*mn Waylon! You’re so great!”
