When Annabeth Cates saw that the call was from her middle school classmate, Julie Huckleberry, she immediately picked it up…Julie was Annabeth’s third-year middle school classmate who sat next to her. Julie was a very kind girl.Throughout Annabeth’s entire third year in middle school, they were practically inseparable.“Hey, Annabeth… Are you free the following Monday at eight o’clock in the evening? We’re having a class gathering at a hotpot restaurant in Atlantis Goldfield Plaza…“Would you like to come? About half of our classmates will be there. “Don’t you think it’s such a coincidence that most of our classmates are building their careers in Atlantis?” Julie said. She sounded somewhat excited.After hearing this, Annabeth immediately recalled her schedule before and after eight o’clock in the evening on the following Monday.Annabeth would be done with work at six o’clock in the evening the following Monday…Hence, she had time to attend the gathering.“Sure…” Annabeth
There were approximately fifteen people at each table. They had already finished ordering food. In fact, some had already begun to eat.Annabeth Cates felt a little uncomfortable looking at that scene before her.She arrived ten minutes ahead of the appointed time, and that meant she wasn’t late.Logically speaking, they should’ve waited for her briefly even if everyone else had arrived.However, they didn’t…Never mind that they ordered the dishes, but they had even begun to eat.Annabeth could sense deeply how this group of people were ignoring her.At one glance, she felt that many of them looked unfamiliar.She needed to look at them harder to identify who each of them was.After graduating from middle school for so many years, everyone’s face had changed due to age.Some had undergone cosmetic surgery, while others grew plump. Some lost weight and became thinner.The only person who hadn’t changed was Julie Huckleberry, who sat close to the door.When Julie saw that
Back in school, Sonia Judas frequently bullied Annabeth Cates because she wasn’t brave enough to speak up for herself.Right then, Sonia was speaking to Annabeth in a terrible tone.Sonia was literally looking down at her.Annabeth felt extremely annoyed by Sonia’s attitude…However, to avoid ruining the mood, Annabeth bit her tongue and kept quiet.Instead, she smiled a little and looked at Sonia. “No. I really forgot to bring them…”Sonia snorted coldly. “Humph… Why do I find it hard to believe you? Josh rejected you because he didn’t think much of you, right?”Annabeth shook her head. “No. He’s very nice to me.”“How many celebrities in the entertainment industry would be nice to their assistants? None of them think much of their assistants,” Sonia said straightforwardly.When Annabeth heard this, she became even more upset…Although many other celebrities did indeed treat their assistants poorly, Josh Batton wasn’t like that.He would never look down on anyone.Sonia co
“Julie Huckleberry… Believe it or not, I’m going to kill you.” Sonia Judas slammed her hand on the table.“Bring it on… I’m not afraid of you. Believe it or not, I’m going to push that plastic face of yours into the pot.” Julie Huckleberry didn’t show any signs of weakness at all. She also ignored Annabeth Cates, who advised her to calm down.“Alright… Stop fighting. You’re ruining my appetite…” Lily Winters, who sat next to Sonia, had an unhappy expression on her face.After finishing her sentence, Lily looked at Julie. “To be honest, wasn’t what Sonia said accurate? Can’t she talk about other people’s lives if they aren’t doing well?”Other people also rolled their eyes at Annabeth and Julie.Clearly, everyone sided with Sonia.Many people were like this.They tended to side with the more powerful folks…“Who’s not doing well? Annabeth and Josh are fine… Josh is very gentle with her. Besides, Annabeth gets lots of monetary rewards…” Julie argued.She wasn’t lying…Annabeth
“Haha. More than me? Why don’t you get Annabeth to do it now? Do you really think it’s that easy to get concert tickets from top-notch celebrities like him?“She couldn’t even get an autograph from Josh. Do you think Josh would give her so many tickets? Stop blowing your own trumpet. Will that kill you?” Sonia Judas rolled her eyes.Meanwhile, those ladies near her who had accepted her tickets also rolled their eyes at Annabeth Cates.Right after that, they started showering Sonia with compliments.“Sonia, you’re amazing… Let’s add each other on WeChat. We’ll chase after our idol together…”“I even dream about getting a ticket to Josh’s concert… I failed several times to get one. Sonia, you’re awesome.”“Sonia, I think that Josh might end up falling in love with an excellent woman like you if you keep going after him…”“Exactly. Sonia, keep it up… So many celebrities end up being in a relationship with their fans. Do your best to get Josh.”“Woah. I realized that our tickets ar
Annabeth Cates remained silent.She had been trying very hard to control her emotions, and she kept telling herself to forget about it. In the worst-case scenario, she would stop meeting any of these people after this class reunion…Outside, Josh Batton couldn’t stand how those women were verbally bullying Annabeth.After frowning deeply, Josh pushed the door open and went in.He was wearing a casual, white shirt with a pair of casual, black, cropped trousers such that his smooth and fair ankles were bare. He was also wearing a pair of white sneakers…Josh didn’t have any makeup on. His hair was parted in a simple three-to-seven ratio and fixed in place with a layer of hair wax. He had a clean yet refreshing appearance.As soon as Josh walked through the door, everyone in the room was stunned by his good looks.Although there were many decent-looking men and women there, he easily outshined all of them at this moment.None of them could compare to his good looks.Meanwhile, al
Everyone nodded…When Josh’s gaze landed on them, they felt as if they were going mad!Many of them dreamed about being looked at by their idol…A single glance was enough to leave a lasting impression in their youth.After that, everyone quickly returned their tickets to Sonia Judas.Everyone started speaking.“Sorry. Comparatively, first row seats are better…”“Yeah. The first and second-row seats are indeed better. So, Sonia, I won’t be needing your tickets anymore.”“Thank you, Sonia. You can have these back. Sorry.”When people returned the tickets to Sonia one at a time, she felt awful.At first, she thought she could use these tickets to boost her ego.However, she instead ended up embarrassing herself.Josh Batton must have done this because he overheard the things she said and observed her behavior.Sonia’s idol had seen her bad side. She wished she could find a hole and bury herself in it.Apart from feeling embarrassed, she also felt regretful. It was extremely
After being flabbergasted for a few minutes, Annabeth Cates immediately recollected herself.She figured that Josh Batton probably said those things because he wanted to boost her reputation in front of her ex-classmates.He didn’t mean what he said.After all, Annabeth didn’t have sufficient academic experience. She wasn’t qualified to become an artist’s manager at all…However, although she knew this very well in her heart, she still nodded and looked at Josh. “Thank you, Josh…”“Don’t mention it. You’ve acquired it through your efforts.” Josh chuckled.“Why did you come here? Didn’t you say you were going to game at home?” Annabeth looked at Josh and asked.Josh chuckled again. “After getting home, a director suddenly asked to meet me. We happened to be meeting in the next room.”“Josh… I really like you a lot. I wonder if you could have a meal with us?” Julie Huckleberry looked at Josh and asked excitedly.When Josh heard this, he instantly looked at Annabeth. “Whether I s
