NovelEnglishTara's heart stirred. She hadn't expected Cameron to say that. She pressed her lips gently together as she looked at Cameron. "Thank you, Cameron." Cameron smiled warmly. Then, suddenly remembering something, he asked, "By the way, Dr. Smith, you mentioned before that if you accompaniedto the class reunion, you'd tella secret about Colonel Bailey and me. What is it?" "Uh..." Tara was caught off guard by Cameron's recollection of the matter and hesitated. She was unable to respond immediately. "That... I'll tell you after the class reunion," Tara said, waving her hand somewhat guiltily.
"You're not tricking me, are you?" Cameron raised an eyebrow at Tara's reaction.
"How could I! Am I that kind of person?" Tara's eyes danced.
"Oh?" Cameron remained skeptical.
"Why are you looking atlike that? If I said there is one, then there definitely is!" Tara glared at Cameron as she tried to mask her nervousness.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCameron laughed and decided not to press further.
"Hey, what's with that look? I really didn't lie to you!" "We've arrived at the restaurant, Dr. Smith," Cameron said.
The Rolls-Royce Phantom pulled up in front of the Lunar Crest Restaurant. Tara collected herself as they both exited the car.
They took the elevator to private room number 3008. Inside, about thirty people were gathered around a large round table, lavishing praise on Danny Shaw, who sat at the front.
"Danny, it's been a few years. Now you're finally a boss! Your real estate business must be booming, right?" one of them said. "Hehe, it's okay, just a profit of two or three million dollars a year," Danny replied as he feigned modesty.
He wore a designer suit, carried a black Hermes briefcase and wore a Rolex gold watch. Every detail of his attire screamed success. "Two or three million dollars! That's our Danny!" another exclaimed.
"Danny, I knew back in high school that with your intelligence, you were bound to succeed!" the praises continued.
It was more intense than before, but beneath their words lay disdain and jealousy, They believed the former delinquent had merely capitalized on the real estate industry's surge to achieve success. They believed anyone could've Ichieved what he achieved. But thei Outward behavior was all flattery, loping to secure a job under Danny. They dreamed of making an annual ncof five hundred thousal Loffars. ¿wThen there was Misty Sayles, who had spent recent years mingling in high society circles. She dressed exquisitely, wearing a black skirt and a white cardigan for the reunion. She had even purchased a counterfeit Hermes bag specifically forthis class reunion. She cooed at Danny at that moment, "Danny, you've beceven more manly since your high school days." "Haha. Really?" Danny beamed at the compliment. In high school, he had always been self-conscious about his look. He looked like the typical poor and ugly kid.
"Of course, I, Misty, never misjudge people," she flirted, knowing well what compliments men liked to hear.
"Haha, Misty, you're as sweet-talking as you were in high school," Danny laughed.
"Danny, I'm just speaking the truth," Misty demurely pressed her lips together.
She accidentally brushed Danny's ankle under the table with her legs.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDanny's mind raced with excitement as he looked at Misty with renewed interest. Then, he took the bait, "Misty, speaking of which, do you have a boyfriend yet?" "Not yet, Danny, I've been alone all this while," Misty replied shyly, sensing that Danny was hooked.
The others internally cursed at how cunning she was! "Haha, that's quite a coincidence then. I've been so busy with work these past few years that I haven't had tfor a girlfriend." Danny was clearly smitten.
Misty's eyes flickered as she sensed her opportunity. Just as she was about to make her next move, the door to the private room opened.
Cameron and Tara walked in. Instantly, the entire room seemed to brighten with Tara's presence. She wore a simple light blue dress. Her face was free of makeup and devoid of any jewelry.
Yet, her appearance captured the attention of all her classmates, especially the men.
Danny's gaze was instantly drawn to her as he let out a flash of astonishment on his face.
