Chapter 079 Class Reunion
Charles hung up the phone and got out of the taxi.
At this moment, a blue Maserati, incredibly eye-catching, pulled up to the entrance of the 'Grand Hotel.'
A sophisticate-looking man casually tossed the car keys to the security guard.
"Could you please park the car for me? Here's the tip!"
Patrick tossed out a set of car keys, and handed over a bill.
When the guard heard this, he immediately accepted it with delighted.
"You're so generous, sir!"
Patrick exuded confidence.
He happened to see an acquaintance at the entrance, so he decided to show off a bit!
"Daniel, why are you still standing at the door? I've already booked a room. Just follow the receptionist to the room 520!" Patrick said familiarly.
"I'm waiting for Charles and he should be here soon!" Daniel replied calmly.
If it had been in the past, he would have been jealous to see Patrick driving a Maserati.
But now.
He had been driving a $4 million Koenigsegg, so a $210,000 Maserati wasn't all that impressive.
Nothing to brag about!
"Charles?" Speaking of Charles, Patrick couldn't help but laugh.
When he ran into him at lunchtime, the girl Charles had asked out had actually added him on Facebook, which was hilarious!
A loser would always be a loser.
He never realized his own limitations and always dreamed of dating delicate girls. Wasn't that ridiculous?
If you didn't act as the simp, then who did?
"Holy crap, Patrick, you drive a Maserati? That's awesome!" A girl who also arrived by taxi said in shock.
"Sophie, it's you! I haven't seen you for a year, and you look prettier!"
"Prettier? It's just makeup and clothes. I can't compare to your goddess Alice!" Sophie smiled.
By this time, the security guard had parked the Maserati in the hotel's designated parking lot and returned the car keys to Patrick.
"Hey, who's that person? He looks familiar." Sophie pointed at a man wearing a knock-off T-shirt.
"Isn't that Charles? Don't you recognize him?"
"Holy crap, that's Charles! He looks more handsome and taller now. He hasn't been to a single class reunion in the three years since he graduated from high school, but now he's here?" Sophie said in surprise.
In no time, Charles had walked up to them.
"Charles, your outfit is a bit casual today. Why are you just wearing a T-shirt and shorts?" Daniel asked.
"It doesn't matter; it's just a class reunion, instead meeting some important leader. Casual is fine!" Charles patted Daniel's shoulder.
The two of them walked arm in arm, like a pair of good!
"Don't you know that Alice is coming today? Can't you dress up a bit?" Daniel whispered into Charles' ear.
"I think this is already pretty cool. It doesn't matter. If being handsome was enough to make Alice like someone, wouldn't Patrick have had her by now?" Charles shook his head.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Patrick was indeed a bit more handsome than him!
Charles was considered good-looking at most.
But Patrick's looks were top notch in the eyes of many girls!
He was sophisticated and elegant.
Patrick, Sophie, Charles, and Daniel.
The four of them entered the hotel suite one after another.
The suite was large and luxurious, enough to accommodate twenty or thirty people.
Although their high school class had fifty or sixty people, it was considered good to get a dozen or so people together each time they had a reunion.
Some had moved to different cities.
Some had simply dropped out of school! They went their separate ways and took different paths in life.
Some people couldn't even be contacted anymore.
It was as if they had completely disappeared from your world.
This time, when they heard that Alice was coming, more than twenty people gathered.
Among them, sixty percent were boys.
When Charles entered the suite, there were already thirteen people inside and Charles had some impression of these people, but not much.
Familiar because they had been his classmates for three years in high school, and seeing them brought a natural sense of closeness.
Unfamiliar because three years had passed, and their appearance had changed so much and he couldn't even remember some of their names!
Those whose names he couldn't remember were the ones who were barely present in the class before!
"Wow, Patrick, you finally made it. I heard that you're driving a Maserati now! Cool!" Said with a guy who has a pointed chin and high cheekbones. As soon as he saw Patrick, he immediately flattered him.
Charles remembered, his name was Hubert Diaz!
He was one of the guys in the class who liked to watch adult films.
"No, no, it's not money I earned myself, nothing to brag about!" Patrick waved his hand modestly.
With that, he threw the Maserati keys on the dining table.
Very conspicuous.
He also took out a pack of Dunhill cigarettes and started passing them around.
Some classmates smoked.
Some didn't.
The boys started joking around as they handed out cigarettes.
The girls started talking about makeup, clothes, bags, lipstick, hairstyles, nails, and so on.
Or they reminisced about the past.
How things used to be...
Who put chalk dust in the teacher's cup!
Who let the air out of the math teacher's bike tires!
Who couldn't sleep at night, so they climbed over the school wall to spend the night in an Internet café.
Talking about it brought back vivid memories!
It seemed quite nostalgic!
Then, as usual, they moved from the past to the present!
Talking about the present. This was the stage for some people to start showing off!
Although they hadn't graduated yet.
They had to talk about their future plans.
What are you studying?
What is the job market like now?
Planning to buy a house and a car!
How will you get settled in a big city?
Graduate school or work?
Work for a company or start your own business?
Almost seniors, every classmate had more or less some anxiety in their hearts.
