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,
"Hmm, I am just stating the fact. Moreover, I just got a car. No, my boyfriend just got it for me, and it is worth thousands of dollars. It is a black Bentley, something most of you have never seen before. After the class gathering, I can allow you guys to take a picture each with the car, and you can post it on your IG. But you guys should be careful; my boyfriend just got it for me, and I must not see a scratch on it," Lucy proudly said as she swirled the car keys in her hands."Damn, you even have a car now?" Linda asked in astonishment."No, I have two cars. The first one is a Rolls Royce worth hundreds of dollars, and I got it myself. This one was bought for me by my boyfriend, and he even hired a driver for me. I did not bring him today since it was just a class gathering, and I might leave very late," she explained."Wow! Lucy, is your boyfriend that rich?" Belle could not help but ask. Lucy cleared her throat, and her expression turned solemn as if she wanted to say something
The moment they finished eating, Evelyn led the way, and they walked out of the room. When they left the room, they entered an elevator and got off when they reached the ground floor.The bar seemed to be on the ground floor. It was only at this moment that Ivan was finally able to get a look at the interior design of the hotel.As Ivan ventured into the entryway with the others, their eyes were promptly attracted to the wonderful chandelier dangling from the roof, projecting stunning light throughout the space.The hall exuded an air of magnificence, with its polished marble floors and luxurious velvet couches that enticed guests to sink into their soft embrace.Moving along the halls, Ivan could not resist the urge to admire the carefully crafted artwork decorating the walls. Each piece told a unique story, captivating the imagination and adding an artistic touch to the hotel's ambiance.As they passed through the corridors, they saw many rooms and amenities. Throughout the hotel, a
"Ivan, do you have a girlfriend? Are you in a relationship with any girl, or are you gay? That can't be true, right? Are you single or not?" one of the ladies asked, and Ben scoffed, spitting out the liquor in his mouth and startling the others.They all glared at him, making disgusted faces, but Ben didn't seem to mind as he laughed."Damn! I just heard something new. Ivan is a gay, he doesn't do girls but guys. It's so funny, hahaha!" Ben laughed, holding his stomach.His fat jiggled with his movements, his wet mouth making him look hilariously funny, causing the others to snicker at the scene.Evelyn was the only one not laughing. She wanted to know Ivan's relationship status, and it almost reached the point of desperation.No matter how funny the scene was, she had something else on her mind to worry about. She just couldn't laugh, no matter how much she tried, unless Ivan said something she wanted to hear."You're the gay one. Your whole family is gay," Ivan's face darkened when
Evelyn felt relieved and exhilarated by what Ivan had just said. Her face quickly flushed red, and her heart raced, making her unable to stop the large smile that broke out on her lips.It was almost more happiness than she could handle. Her face glowed with unadulterated euphoria. Her eyes, like shimmering pearls, were filled with irresistible happiness that couldn't be contained.Even her smile resembled a beam of sunlight on a cloudy day, stretching from one ear to another, showcasing a set of stunning white teeth.Her spirits lifted, and hope bloomed inside her. Her gaze towards Ivan became determined, but her smile remained.When Ben and the other two guys saw her smile, they were awestruck and mesmerized. Evelyn was already a very beautiful woman, and when she smiled, everything else seemed to lose its luster. Ivan was stunned, but not to the point of speechlessness.Lucy was already burning with envy, her knuckles clenched into fists by her side as she tried hard to maintain he
"Oh! Him? We were once in a relationship, but I later broke up with him. But still, he chases me around like a dog. You wouldn't want a dog as a boyfriend, right?" Lucy mocked, and Ivan's face changed drastically.He glared at Lucy from the corner of his eyes, but Lucy just smiled. When she saw the anxious look on Ivan's face, she felt a sense of satisfaction, almost tasting the sweetness in her heart.Lucy raised her head higher and noticed Evelyn's slightly pale face. She fought back a laugh, her posture becoming more relaxed as she started devising a plan to worsen everything to her pleasure.Belle and the others turned to look at Lucy with gaping mouths. They never thought Lucy was the one who broke up with Ivan. They weren't even expecting to find out that they had dated.When they heard Lucy call Ivan a dog, they pursed their lips but couldn't retort. Ivan really behaved like a dog when they were still in high school.Alex and his friends snickered, their gazes on Ivan becoming
