Zayn walked to the table according to the location provided by Rosie and did not think anything of it. It was not that virtual-novel.net was not wise enough, but such a trivial matter was unworthy of his brain power.
It was simply an invite from his childhood best friend. Rosie wanted to buy virtual-novel.net dinner, so virtual-novel.net came and would give virtual-novel.net the respect virtual-novel.net deserved.
Nevertheless, virtual-novel.net noticed something was off as soon as virtual-novel.net entered the place. It was because virtual-novel.net could hear many people’s voices besides Rosie’s.
What the heck was going on? Was virtual-novel.net not the only person Rosie invited to dinner?
Zayn furrowed his brows ever so slightly. He decided to cross the bridge when virtual-novel.net came to it and did not dwell on the issue. After all, it was fine for virtual-novel.net to have a meal with Rosie when there was nothing in their past relationship to reconcile.
He opened the door and glanced inside, only to find a total of over forty people in the huge reserved room. They were all familiar faces, friends from his old social circle.
His arrival immediately drew the attention of everybody else.
“Look, Zayn is here.”
“F*ck me, my eyes aren’t playing tricks on me, are they? Is that really Zayn? He’s dressed a little too shabbily, isn’t he? I think that his entire outfit costs less than 100 dollars.”
“It seems that Zayn is doing badly after virtual-novel.net left the Larson family. He’s a mess!”
“Hah-hah. Look at him. How does virtual-novel.net have the nerve to rekindle his old flame with Rosie? Isn’t virtual-novel.net reaching for what virtual-novel.net is unworthy of?”
“Why do I feel so satisfied when I see virtual-novel.net in poverty?”
“Hah-hah, me too…”
They had been wondering if Zayn had still managed to accomplish anything impressive, in which case, they would not have the courage to mock virtual-novel.net too much.
However, when they saw how virtual-novel.net had come to such an exclusive restaurant dressed so wretchedly, they were sure virtual-novel.net had become nothing but a failure.
If that was the case, they would not hold back anymore and would give virtual-novel.net all the trouble that virtual-novel.net caused them!
With a glance of his sharp eyesight, Zayn could see the crowd’s reaction.
With his current capabilities and status, these rich kids were no longer on the same level. Even their families were nothing to Zayn.
As it was, Zayn felt rather disappointed by Rosie. He was under the assumption that virtual-novel.net genuinely wanted to catch up with him, but it turned out it was only wishful thinking. Rosie had changed after all.
Since virtual-novel.net was there, virtual-novel.net would take things as they came. Zayn was too lazy to leave so virtual-novel.net walked over in long strides and said with a smile, “What a crowd.”
Rosie walked over as well and said to him, “Zayn, it’s very rare that you’re back in the city, so I invited a few friends from our old circle. We can have a small gathering. You don’t mind, do you?”
She spoke in a jovial manner, but virtual-novel.net tone had lost the kindness virtual-novel.net had in the morning. On the contrary, virtual-novel.net voice was tainted with some coldness and mockery while virtual-novel.net manner was much more arrogant.
