NovelEnglishChapter 546 After Mia posed her question, she noticed a faint blush on Gina's cheeks. Indeed, this was the primary reason Mia had cto the reunion today-solely to accompany Gina.
Just then, Jeremy raised his glass, declaring, “Everyone, | propose a toast. | appreciate each of you for gracing us with your presence tonight. Here's to a prosperous future and abundant wealth!” Abstaining from alcohol, Mia decided to pour herself a glass of lemon water instead.
Ramona quickly pointed out, “Mia, everyone else is drinking, but you're sticking with water. What's the deal? Why aren't you trying to be sociable?” In a composed manner, Mia explained, “I haven't been feeling well lately and can’t consalcohol | apologize.” Given her pregnancy, it was evident that alcohol was off-limits for her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRamona expressed her disapproval, questioning, “What do you mean by ‘you can’t drink? Are you purposely trying to be different and draw attention to yourself?” Interrupting Ramona, Jeremy intervened, asserting, “If she chooses not to drink, that's entirely up to her. After all, this is a class reunion, not a formal business event. How about we let everyone make their own choice?” Frustrated, Ramona could only shoot Mia a resentful look.
Once Jeremy had finished his drink, he approached Mia. “Hey Mia, let's swap numbers. Our company has design projects too. Once you graduate from university, you can join our team. The benefits are quite appealing.” [x] “Let’s discuss it after | graduate. I'm still undecided,” Mia responded.
After all, she had already made plans to depart for Nord City. Hence, working in Bern City wasn't on her agenda.
As Ramona observed Jeremy asking for Mia's number, her underlying discontent reached its peak.
She intentionally spoke up, asserting, “Mia, we're all classmates here, so if you decide to join the company in the future, we'll ensure you're well looked after.
“However, I've heard that the HR department isn’t particularly welcoming to divorced women. But don’t worry, | have connections with the HR manager, and I'll put in a good word for you when the tcomes.” Gina swiftly interjected, “Well, Mia isn’t interested at all. After winning first place in the Fleur International Design Competition, both the Barrett Group and Nord City’s Vista Properties extended job offers to her.” Ramona countered, “Pfft, anyone can boast. If Mia is genuinely that talented, why hasn't she joined a major corporation already? What's the point of returning to university?” “Because Mia wants to complete her exams and earn her degree before entering the workforce.” Jeremy raised a concern. “Isn’t she putting the cart before the horse? Even with a degree, there's no guarantee she will land a job at those big corporations.” Gina spoke confidently, “It's not a problem. The company’s HR department has assured Mia that she can join them as soon as she graduates.” Upon hearing this, a flicker of jealousy crossed Ramona’s expression.
Jolene voiced her skepticism, stating, “Words mean little without evidence.” Gina promptly shared screenshots in the group chat, providing proof of, her connections with representatives from both corporations.
She remarked, “There's no need for lies when the evidence speaks for itself!” Upon viewing the screenshots, the rest of the classmates couldn't hide their envy. “Mia, your talent is remarkable,” one commented.

With a smile, Jeremy chimed in, “Mia, these corporations are thriving. Congratulations in advance! Let's make plans to meet up more frequently in the future.” Furious, Ramona and Jolene remained on the sidelines, unable to savor their meal.
After finishing their dinner and settling the bill, Mia accompanied Gina to the restroom.
Upon reaching the entrance of the private room, they were met by a middle-aged man dressed in a suit.
The man politely addressed Mia, asking, “Was your meal satisfactory?” Mia responded with a hint of skepticism, “It was okay.” Ramona hurriedly exited the room, her face beaming with excitement. “Mia, do you know this middle- aged man? Is he your new boyfriend?” 5 ab
