Phoebe said, "I don't want to see him. Let's go back."
Since Phoebe was so determined, Tom did not ask her to stay here any longer, and he did not like to attend such a class reunion himself. After a conversation just now, he found that these people mainly talked about money. They all talked about what big company they went to work for after graduation, where they bought a house, what luxury car they bought, and so on.
Based on Tom's current identity and mindsets, he really couldn't have a nice talk with such people. Besides, those people were hostile to him.
"Okay, then go back." Tom smiled and said. He was extremely gentle to Phoebe.
Phoebe felt his gentleness, and a sweet smile appeared on her face. She nodded and said, "Well, when we get back, I'll make you a cake to eat."
After saying that, Phoebe stood up and said to everyone, "Classmates, I still have something to do. I'm going back first. You can continue to talk."
"Hey, Phoebe, we're having a good chat. Why are you leaving?" A fat woman opposite Phoebe immediately said unhappily.
A tall and thin female classmate beside her also grabbed Phoebe's hand and pretended to be unhappy, "She is right. You haven't been here for long. Why are you leaving? It's not easy for us to get together. We haven't had a good chat, but you want to leave. Is it that you don't want to stay with us?"
"That's right. Now that you're the Chairman and you look down on your previous classmates." A boy said sourly.
The other classmates also asked Phoebe to stay. At the same time, they complained to show their dissatisfaction to Phoebe.
Phoebe was a very thin-skinned person. She was immediately embarrassed by so many classmates' complaints. She quickly explained, "You misunderstood. I didn't mean that. I just happened to have something to do at home. I have to go back."
A girl with a loud voice said, "Phoebe, who are you lying to? When I asked you out today, you said that there was nothing to do today and that we could talk until very late! But it's only eight o'clock now, and you want to leave. It is clear that you despise us."
Another girl said in a strange tone, "What are you doing? Don't you see Phoebe's status now? She is the Chairman of a big company. She has tens of millions, and she can earn tens of thousands in an hour. Do you think she still wants to eat with us, a group of nobody?"
After hearing this, Phoebe felt even more uncomfortable and said, "Hey, you misunderstood me. I really didn't mean that."
Seeing that Phoebe was so anxious, Tom held Phoebe's hand and gave her a look, asking her to remain calm. Tom then said, "Fellow classmates, you really misunderstood Phoebe. As classmates for many years, I believe you know a lot about her and know that she is not such a person. Now we really have something to do and we need to go home. You all work in the nearby cities and can get together at any time."
A boy who had drunk a lot as asked by Tom was immediately annoyed. He pointed at Tom and said rudely, "Hey, we're talking to Phoebe. What's wrong with you? I think Phoebe wants to leave in such a hurry because of you!"
The boy was very hostile and he aimed at Tom, which made Phoebe frown and get a little angry. "Hey, what are you talking about?"
Tom winked at Phoebe to calm Phoebe down.
