“Gerald! Marven! Where did both of you go?” asked a few pretty girls as they surrounded the duo while trying their hardest to spark a conversation. All of them had their eyes on Gerald as though they were trying to seduce him.
After all, everyone figured that it was Gerald who had given Marven a hand in this. While it was true that Marven was the director of the company, his main funds could only have come from Gerald. It was the reason why the girls were all trying to get into Gerald’s good books.
Marven’s status had heightened greatly as well, and quite a few of his classmates had already approached him to try their luck at striking a conversation with him.
While everyone was excitedly surrounding the two, Isabelle and Stella had completely opposite reactions. Both of them had darkened expressions on their faces. After all, they had bullied Gerald back when they didn’t know that he was rich.
Now that Gerald had a sudden popularity spike, Isabelle was starting to panic as she turned to look at Fabian.
Back then, lots of people tended to surround Fabian when recess came. Today, however, nobody was even standing near him. Seeing that, Isabelle took the chance to walk over to him before patting him gently on the shoulder.
Fabian was obviously still slightly traumatized by the embarrassment from the donor appreciation event, so Isabelle was standing close to him to ensure that he remained calm.
“Umm… Is Fabian here?” asked a girl who stood at the door out of the blue.
“He is. What’s the matter?” asked Isabelle.
“Oh, Mrs. South told me to invite him to participate in the competition this evening! She wants Fabian to perform as well!” replied the girl.
“Oh? That’s great! Did you catch that, Fabian? The school’s asking for you!” cheered Isabelle cheerily.
The only response she got out of him was a slight nod.
Seeing his lack of response, Isabelle then slammed on her desk before exclaiming, “Hey, everyone! Fabian’s participating in the Taekwondo match this evening! Let’s be sure to go there later to cheer him on!”
