“You know he’s the great Mr. Jealousy.”
They casually chatted as they headed to the private room. When they turned the corner in the hall, Dixon suddenly stopped in his tracks and froze. Sensing that something was wrong, Debbie looked up at him. The smile on his face had slowly faded away, and he stared intensely at the other end of the corridor. Debbie followed his gaze and noticed a familiar face in the distance.
“Kristina?” she exclaimed in shock.

“Are they your friends?”
Kristina forced a smile and nodded, “Yes, my university classmates
Debbie quickly removed the sunglasses and mask. She gazed at Kristina in disbelief and asked excitedly, “Kristina, where have you been all of these years? We’ve tried to contact you many times.”
Kristina looked at Debbie, and her eyes becwatery. She was starting to feel nostalgic. A myriad of complex feelings had flooded her heart.

“Yes, it’s been a long time. Kristina, you know that we’ve missed you so much? Where are you now? We’re having dinner here with Jared and
Kasie. We even tried our luck to contact you earlier today. What a coincidence that we met you here! Cand join us.” Debbie invited her with great enthusiasm while deliberately standing in between her and
Dixon. She knew the two would feel embarrassed and awkward to meet each other again.
Despite how uncomfortable it was for Dixon and Kristina, Debbie still felt it necessary to invite Kristina to the reunion dinner. They used to all be good friends, after all.
Kristina was stunned for a moment. It was beyond her expectation that
Debbie and the others would still invite her to a reunion dinner, especially since she had disappeared without any contact for so long

The man smiled and gently nodded.
