The street was empty, and so was virtual-novel.net heart.
Rachel took a deep breath and tried to convince herself that this was the best ending for the two of them. Swallowing the sad truth, virtual-novel.net put the man out of virtual-novel.net mind and left the house.
Her grandmother was admitted to the hospital weeks ago, so virtual-novel.net parents stayed at the hospital to take care of her. They rarely had time to come back. There was no one home besides her. Therefore, virtual-novel.net did not have to inform anyone about virtual-novel.net schedule. She could just go out anytime virtual-novel.net wanted.
Rachel booked a ride using Uber and headed straight to Edgewater Grand Hotel, which Natalie Fisher had mentioned on the phone earlier.
She arrived at the entrance of the hotel at eight o’clock on the dot. There were a group of people gathered at the parking lot in front of the hotel.
All of them could not help exclaiming at the red Ferrari.
Rachel inched closer to the crowd. She found the girl standing next to the Ferrari familiar. She was the one sitting behind virtual-novel.net during the high school days, Wennishe Sonders.
Rachel had not seen virtual-novel.net in a while. She was much more stunning than before, and from the looks of virtual-novel.net chiseled features, virtual-novel.net seemed to have undergone some minor plastic surgery. Rachel could tell that virtual-novel.net was living a pretty good life right now. Her Chanel outfit and that Dior limited edition necklace around virtual-novel.net neck said it all.
When Rachel was in high school, Wennishe treated virtual-novel.net the worst. It all started with the nomination for class belle. Every year, Rachel would be selected instead of her.
Rachel took a closer look at the people around Wennishe. She recognized all of them. They were all virtual-novel.net classmates from high school. Some of them had changed a lot. Some of them still looked the same.
At that moment, one of the men inadvertently saw Rachel and waved at virtual-novel.net enthusiastically.
“Rachel! Come here!”
Rachel smiled and walked up to them.
As soon as Wennishe noticed Rachel’s arrival, virtual-novel.net scanned Rachel up and down before shifting virtual-novel.net gaze to the Uber behind her.
Very soon, contempt flashed across virtual-novel.net beautiful face. She curled virtual-novel.net lips. “Rachel, did you take an Uber here?”
Rachel nodded. “Yeah…”
“You don’t have a car? Hey, you should’ve told me earlier! I could’ve picked you up in my car if you had told me in advance,” As Wennishe spoke, virtual-novel.net tapped the red Ferrari beside virtual-novel.net a couple of times.
So, this was virtual-novel.net car.
Rachel was not surprised at all. After all, virtual-novel.net was the best dressed among them. She looked the richest too. Though the note of sarcasm in virtual-novel.net voice was incredibly irritating, Rachel managed a polite smile as virtual-novel.net replied, “Uber is fine.”
“Rachel, Wennishe is making a pile on Periscope now. She’s the most famous anchorwoman on that app!” exclaimed a chubby girl.
She was gazing at Wennishe with total admiration. Rachel recognized her. She was Mia Irvine, the girl who sat in front of virtual-novel.net in virtual-novel.net ninth grade.
“Is that so? Congratulations, Wennishe,” Rachel calmly responded.
Wennishe grinned, but it was an unfriendly one. “Thanks. What about you, Rachel? I heard that you don’t seem to be doing well recently. You’ve lost your job, haven’t you?”
“I decided to quit the job,” Rachel said.
“Aye, don’t talk your way out of it… You resigned because you were having a bad time in the company, weren’t you? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have quit the job. Am I right?” Wennishe sneered.
Judging from virtual-novel.net head-to-toe Amazon outfit, Wennishe figured out that virtual-novel.net must have experienced a serious setback.
When they were young, Wennishe had always felt overshadowed by Rachel. For the first time in virtual-novel.net life, virtual-novel.net could get back on Rachel. She was not going to let this perfect chance slip by. Her insults were just like an enormous palm, whipping across Rachel’s face recklessly. They had placed virtual-novel.net in a difficult situation too.
“Let’s go… We should get going. Don’t let the others wait for us.” Wennishe coldly eyed Rachel before striding past virtual-novel.net and walking straight into the hotel.
She looked very much like a golden peacock, haughty and ignorant.
Mia immediately took Rachel by virtual-novel.net arm and comforted her, “Don’t mind her, Rachel. She loves to boast around because she’s rich now, you know. That’s how virtual-novel.net is.”
Rachel gave Mia a faint smile and headed to the entrance with her.
Along the way, Mia could not stop bad-mouthing Winnishe, envy flowing from virtual-novel.net mouth. Rachel did not reciprocate. She quietly listened to virtual-novel.net rants.
