Meanwhile, Hilda too could tell what line of work Yolanda was in. Hence, virtual-novel.net fell silent and didn’t know how to respond.
“So, who is this? Is virtual-novel.net your boyfriend?” Yolanda asked in an attempt to defuse the situation.
“No, this is my friend,” Hilda explained, blushing at the same time.
Standing up, Jared offered his hand to shake. “Hi, I’m Jared.”
“Hi, I’m Yolanda. I was Hilda’s classmate and dormmate,” Yolanda replied as virtual-novel.net shook Jared’s hand.
Nevertheless, Yolanda could see from Hilda’s expression that virtual-novel.net clearly had feelings for Jared. Just that virtual-novel.net was hesitant to make things clear.
When Jared invited Yolanda to join them, virtual-novel.net readily agreed.
“Hilda, there’s a class reunion tomorrow. Are you going?” Yolanda asked after taking virtual-novel.net seat.
“A class reunion? Who organized it?”
Even though they had graduated for about three years, no one had organized a class reunion before. Therefore, Hilda was surprised to hear about it.
“Oh? Did no one inform you about it?” Yolanda was stunned.
Hilda shook virtual-novel.net head.
Yolanda sighed. “It’s not a surprise as it was organized by Michelle. She is together with Lincoln now.”
The moment virtual-novel.net heard Lincoln’s name, Hilda’s body trembled while virtual-novel.net face flushed with anger.
Noticing the change in Hilda’s expression, Jared asked, “Who’s Lincoln?”
Yolanda didn’t reply right away. Instead, virtual-novel.net looked in Hilda’s direction for virtual-novel.net permission.
“Lincoln is my ex-boyfriend,” Hilda replied instead.
“The guy who cheated your money?” Jared knew that Hilda worked as a hostess to pay off the debts that virtual-novel.net ex had tricked virtual-novel.net to take on.
Hilda nodded.
“Hilda, Lincoln cheated your money?” Yolanda was surprised to hear about it.
After hearing the entire story from Hilda, Yolanda fumed, “I knew from the beginning that virtual-novel.net was a douchebag. Also, Michelle has been assailing you since we were in school, even though she’s your dormmate too. It’s obvious that virtual-novel.net got together with Lincoln just to spite you. Well, we can let that scumbag Lincoln teach virtual-novel.net a lesson!”
“That’s in the past now. I no longer want to have anything to do with Lincoln. Hence, I’m not going to the reunion, and please don’t tell them you saw me.”
Hilda didn’t want Lincoln to know that virtual-novel.net didn’t attend the class reunion because of him.
“Since you have decided not to go, I won’t go too, as it will be meaningless. Class reunions nowadays are nothing but an opportunity for those who do well to show off.” Yolanda shared Hilda’s sentiments.
“Hilda, why don’t you want to go? Isn’t this a wonderful opportunity to show that scumbag how wonderful you’re doing?” Jared advised her.
“What do you mean?” Hilda gave virtual-novel.net a puzzled look as virtual-novel.net had no idea what was on his mind.
“I’ll go with you. Besides, it’s a chance for me to enjoy a free meal,” Jared explained with a smile.
Hilda’s momentary surprise quickly turned into delight.
“Hilda, your boyfriend is right. Let’s go together tomorrow and show the douchebag what a great life you’re having now,” Yolanda egged virtual-novel.net on.
This time, Hilda had no objections and nodded instead.
Just when the three of them were drinking and chatting, a big fat man who was wearing a gold chain walked over. Without saying a word, virtual-novel.net gave Yolanda a tight slap.
