"After middle school, where did you go? I don't think I've heard any news about you," Nina chatted with him.
"I studied abroad," Scott replied. "I just returned recently." "I see," Nina looked at his soaked suit. Take your clothes off. I'll wash them for you." "It's really not necessary." Nina insisted, "It's been ages since we last saw each other, and I feel bad about giving you such a 'grand gift.' Letwash it, and I'll return it to you later." With her insistence, Scott didn't refuse anymore. "Alright." He took off his suit jacket and handed it to Nina. Fortunately, his shirt underneath wasn't wet, so he didn't look too disheveled.
Nina took a gift bag and packed it directly.
"Mr. Lucas," someone suddenly greeted, warmly asking, “Long tno see. You're back in the country? Why didn't you notify us? We didn't even have a chance to visit you." "Just wait for me, I'll say hello to someone," Scott said to Nina.
Nina nodded. Seeing that the person was also a well-known entrepreneur and was so enthusiastic towards Scott, it seemed that Scott had quite a background.

Nina warned her, "We're just classmates. Don't make up stories. He doesn't have any intentions towards me." "How can there be no intentions? I'm sure there are," Yvonne asserted confidently. "Recognizing you at a glance means he's thought about you a million times in his head." "Don't talk nonsense."
