Ivan was mesmerized by the dazzling display of cars in front of the hotel. He stood rooted in the same spot for a while, unsure if he should walk forward or not.He hesitated and decided to call Evelyn when he heard someone call his name."Ivan!"He looked around to search for the person who called his name. Not long after, he spotted a white figure standing in front of the hotel, waving her hands enthusiastically towards him with an enchanting smile on her face.Ivan couldn't help but marvel at her beauty. She was beautiful inside and out, and even Ivan couldn't deny it. Her beauty was different from Lucy's. It was unknown if the two women had talked because they were both wearing opposing colors of gowns.She had a slender figure, with a willow-like waist shaped like a decanter. Her burnished skin glowed under the street lights.A pair of curved eyebrows peered down on long eyelashes. Her delicate ears framed a button nose, and a set of stunning, angel-like white teeth gleamed as sh
With how mysteriously Evelyn was behaving, Ivan had already guessed who she was talking about, but he pretended as if he did not know anything."Who are we waiting for? Who could make our class monitor wait like this? I can't remember someone like that," Ivan said, and Evelyn smiled."It's someone that you know very well, and I'm sure you'll be very surprised when you see the person," Evelyn said before playfully sticking out her lips like a naughty kid, making Ivan shake his head in helplessness and amusement.Ivan smiled calmly and stood behind Evelyn so that they could wait together."You are still as beautiful as ever," Ivan suddenly complimented her. He wasn't being sarcastic, nor was he saying it for any particular reason. He just felt that he should compliment her because he hadn't done so earlier.Evelyn was startled and couldn't react in time. But when she realized what he had just said, she quickly averted her gaze from him, and her cheek turned crimson like an overcooked sh
"Damn, Lucy, it's been so long. You look more beautiful than before. I'm so envious. You're doing so well now. I want to be like you," Evelyn yelled excitedly. But Lucy pushed her away, rather harshly."You will dirty my gown," she said simply and brought out a white handkerchief from her small bag to wipe her dress.Her face showed annoyance at being hugged, and when she looked at Evelyn again, there was a slight disgust in her eyes.Lucy's reaction made Evelyn stiffen, and her countenance turned rigid. She was unable to regain her composure for a while and stood still.Ivan cursed Lucy inwardly when he saw how Evelyn became awkward because of what Lucy had done. He cleared his throat and spoke up. Evelyn was the one wearing white, so she was the one who was supposed to be in Lucy's position, avoiding hugs so that her gown wouldn't get dirty. He knew that Lucy was just looking for trouble."Evelyn, you hugged her too tightly. It will wrinkle her dress," he said, and Evelyn finally ca
Two beautiful women of different beauty stood at the entrance of the hotel with a handsome guy beside them. It was enough to attract the attention of the people passing by and those entering or leaving the hotel.Evelyn was as pure and saintly as a lily. She exuded a clean and fresh aura that mesmerized onlookers and even gave some men the urge to do anything for her.Her innocent and charming face was without makeup. She looked childish and elegant, like a white swan. Her white neck showed her confidence in herself.Lucy was completely different.If Evelyn looked like a white lily, then Lucy looked like a red rose—tempting and seductive. The kind that would make a guy's heart race in anticipation and eagerness.Her makeup was meticulously done, and her lips were red and luscious, almost dripping. It made people want to taste the sweetness. Unlike the naive-looking Evelyn, who made people want to pamper and protect her, Lucy made men lustful.One was innocent and naive, while the othe
Lucy attempted to get their attention, but the predominantly female crowd seemed more interested in the opposite sex, showing admiration for those of the same gender.When Lucy realized that no one was looking at her, but rather at Ivan and Evelyn, she stomped her heels on the tiled floor, creating a clanking sound that finally caught their attention."Look, it's Lucy," exclaimed Alex, a guy with a pointed nose who used to admire Lucy. He had noticed her as soon as she entered the room, but he was too busy admiring her curves to speak up until he regained his senses.As soon as he shouted, everyone turned their attention to Lucy and gasped at the bag and glistening wristwatch she carried."Damn, Lucy is even more... mature.""Hiss, she's so hot. She looks completely different from when we were in high school.""She has more curves now.""Am I the only one who noticed her expensive-looking bag?""And that gold wristwatch, who knows about accessories?"They all gasped and murmured among
They all ignored Lucy and continued chatting."You? Do you think you can compare to Ivan? You better stop dreaming.""Look at him talking about being handsome, hilarious.""Don't mind him, but damn, I can't stop laughing, hahaha."Ben had previously been hurt and embarrassed by what Lucy had said earlier, but when he heard how the others turned it into a joke, he regained his vigor and started laughing along with them."I am a refined gentleman," he joked with a straight face, and the ladies in the room giggled in sync."Refined? With your double chin? Stop joking.""If you're a refined gentleman, then how should we describe Ivan?"The ladies playfully mocked him, and laughter filled the room."No matter how handsome you are, you can't use your face to get a job, can you? So, it's all for nothing. Without a good family background and connections, you amount to nothing, no matter how handsome or intelligent you are," Alex said sourly, his face darkening. Even his lips were pursed, as i
"You don't know anything. What I am wearing is a Gucci G-frame watch, and it is very expensive. I got it for $990, and I am sure that none of you here can afford it, even if you work hard for a lifetime."Everyone gasped when they heard the ridiculous price of just a single wristwatch. They could not imagine how expensive the bag could be.Although they felt uncomfortable by the contemptuous and disdainful gaze directed towards them by Lucy, the shock when they heard the astronomical price of the wristwatch.To them, the wristwatch was so expensive that they would never be able to afford it, no matter how hard they worked. It was just like Lucy had said, but the way she said it made them feel uncomfortable. Still, they could not explain, especially when they saw how rich Lucy was.Some of them were already thinking that Lucy had a Sugar Daddy, but none of them dared to speak it out loud."Oh my god, Lucy, you are so rich now. Can you please allow me to work in your company or anywhere
"This bracelet? I think it should be in the range of $1,500 to $2,000. It should be between that price," Evelyn said with a deliberating frown, and the whole place became quiet.The sound of gulping and hisses followed, confusing Evelyn as she stared at them all in bewilderment. She could not help but wonder if she had said something wrong.She tried to remember if she was wrong about the price, but after thinking for a while, she realized that she was not mistaken. She had asked about the price of the bracelet the second day after her grandmother gave it to her.She could not remember the exact amount, but she was sure that it was between $1,500 to $2,000. So, instead of pretending to remember, she just told them the truth.But when she saw their reaction, she wondered if she had said it wrongly in one way or another, but she could not pinpoint what she had said wrong. So she instantly told them the name of the bracelet."It's a silver-colored tennis bracelet. If you look carefully,
