His answer instantly put out all of the men’s enthusiasm like a pot of cold water.
Apparently, it had been so many years, so everyone knew that Emma should be married. But, did this not mean stealing the goddess from everyone else?
Even if they could not steal her, having an affair with virtual-novel.net would be quite good. Everyone had the same target. However, who would have expected Emma to actually bring virtual-novel.net husband. That made all the men feel unhappy.
A man whose name was Clayton Padley directly scolded, “Hey, you’re not our classmate, right? Since you’re not, please leave for the time being. I don’t wish to see a stranger in the classmate gathering, which will make us unable to say whatever we want.”
Clayton was the monitor during high school. When virtual-novel.net was a student, virtual-novel.net loved to show off. After virtual-novel.net worked, virtual-novel.net held a small executive position in a listed company, and virtual-novel.net became more arrogant. So, virtual-novel.net never beat around the bush. When virtual-novel.net faced people who were not as good as him, his tone would be cold and his attitude was overbearing.
Other male friends also stared at Thomas as they took pleasure in his misfortune.
He was dealt with in this way. Theoretically, virtual-novel.net should not shamelessly stay.
Indeed, Thomas shrugged, and virtual-novel.net indifferently said, “I’ll leave first then.”
All the men in the room flashed happy smiles. Sending this unfortunate man away would be convenient for them to do to Emma…
Huh?
Before they felt happy, Thomas directly held Emma’s hand and wanted to leave!
This made all the men freak out. It was all right if virtual-novel.net left, but Emma had to stay!
Clayton had a secret crush on Emma when virtual-novel.net was a student, and virtual-novel.net came for Emma today. If Emma left, did virtual-novel.net still need to continue the lunch session?
“Wait!” Clayton called them.
“What else?” Thomas turned around and looked at Clayton.
Clayton’s expression darkened.
What should virtual-novel.net say? Should virtual-novel.net forcefully ask Thomas to leave and let Emma stay? It would be strange if they wanted it.
There was no other solution at this time.
He scoffed and unhappily said, “I’ve carefully thought about it Mr. Mayo, you better stay. After all, you’re Emma’s husband, so you’re not an outsider either. We don’t have to be so harsh.”
He was really leader material. He made it sound so nice.
Thomas secretly chuckled. He sat next to Emma together, and it made Clayton and the other men feel unhappy. Those men who wanted to get close, toast, and say dirty words to Emma did not know what they said at the time. The longer the meal, the more uncomfortable they felt.
Clayton frowned. He breathed out in relief, stared at Thomas, and asked, “Where are you working, Mr. Mayo?”
Thomas casually said, “I’m working in Shalom Technology.”
“Oh? It’s great. It’s a top company in Southland District. Mr. Mayo, your salary must be very high.”
“Not much, I’m receiving $8,000 each month. I’m a normal staff member.”
When the men heard it, all of them became confident. They were not very wealthy, but they were more than enough when compared to Thomas who earned $8000 per month.
Clayton’s smile was meaningful. He showed the ghost of a smile as virtual-novel.net said, “Tsk! Eight thousand dollars? Can you afford to support Emma? Our Emma was homecoming queen and goddess. She was the dream woman of all the boys. When we were in school, virtual-novel.net was pursued by boys every day.
“I’m not exaggerating. As long as Emma is willing, let alone $8,000 per month, virtual-novel.net can simply choose a man who earns $80,000, $800,000, or even $8,000,000 a month! Bah! A good woman like this is wasted on a terrible man.”
If they just talked about it at the back, fine. But, saying something like this in front of Thomas clearly meant they looked down on Thomas.
