The two were equally matched in terms of natural beauty. However, Sophia, being a professional makeup arter

knew her strengths and weaknesses. She accentuated her assets and downplayed her flaws, which further

highlighted her charm Sophia lifted her eyelids and glanced at Serena. She then forced a fake smile and said,

"You provokedso inch in the group chat. Wouldn't it seem like | was scared of you if | didn't show up?"

When those words fell, an air of awkwardness swept over everyone present,

Surprisingly, even after all these years, Sophia's skills remained as exceptional as ever,

Hack in the day, everyone had their eyes on Zephyr and Serena. One was at the top of the class, and the

No one had expected Zephyr to end up with Sophia.

One was at the top of the grade, and the other was at the bottom.

One was reserved and introspective, the other outgoing and flamboyant.

Back then, no one in the class could out argue Sophia. They even called her 'The Exterminator.

However, in front of Zephyr, The Exterminator would transform into a docile lamb.

Serena pulled a wry smile, "It's been quite a few years since you've seen Zephyr, hasn't it? Zephyr, Sophia is

here. At the very least, you were once lovers. Isn't it proper to say hello?" Zephyr's gaze fell upon Sophia,

unwavering, as he slowly made his way toward her.

The slender figure from his memories had then matured and becmore curvy, The gold-rimmed glasses on

his face added a touch of refined elegance to his demeanor.

Sophia cast a glance at Zephyr, their eyes unintentionally meeting.

Beneath his glasses, his eyes seemed to hold sprofound meaning.

Sophia asked in an icy tone, "Have you cback because you couldn't hack it abroad?"

Zephyr's expression remained unchanged. "Are you still unwanted after all these years?"

The crowd listened as the two individuals engaged in a verbal spar, exchanging glances among themselves.

Serena burst into laughter. "Sophia, you're such a joker. Zephyr is a titan in the venture capital world. How could

he possibly not make it? It's been years since you minded."

Lenora said, "Your nis Zephyr, right? You have quite a sense of humor. Over the years, there's been at long

line of suitors for Soph. How could she be unwanted? You two broke up so many years ago. You're not still hung

up on Soph, are you? Listen to me, okay? Giv 1/4 59 Mon, 11 Nov GO

Zephyr remained silent, his eyes narrowed as he fixed his gaze on Sophia.

He wondered if Sophia had really not mentioned him to any of her friends over the years.

Serena's expression darkened, her gaze landing on Lenora with displeasure. "Who are you?" "Me? I'm Soph's

friend, Lenora." Lenora calmly met her gaze. "Is there a problem?" 237%A

Serena took a long, hard look into Lenora's eyes, a mocking smile playing on her lips. "Oh, | get it now. You're

Zachary's ex-wife. He'd rather have an affair than be with you. Birds of a feather flock together, am | right?"

"Using this matter to ridicule Nora is utterly laughable!" Sophia exclaimed.

"Ha! So Zachary's infidelity is somehow a reason to belittle me? That's a first. Ms. Yost, are you so obsessed with

power that you've lost your mind?" Everyone looked at Serena with a sense of displeasure.

After all, the majority of the people present were ordinary folks with simple mindsets. They believed that the one

who cheated was the one at fault. There existed an innate chasm between them and the capitalist Zachary,

making it impossible for them to speak in his defense.

Serena wanted to say more, but Zephyr interrupted her by saying, "Enough!"

Finally, someone stepped in to mediate. "Let's all tone it down a bit, shall we? It's not often we get together like

this, so let's not make it unpleasant!"

"I wanted to keep things pleasant too, but how could | when speople cwith the sole intention of

showing off?" Sophia said, her tone filled with sarcasm. "It seems tothat speople are hell-bent on saving

face, their stubbornness embodied in every word they utter!" Serena retorted, refusing to back down. *That's

enough. It seems about time. Con over here and sit down. I'll ask the waiter to serve the dishes." said their

class monitor from back then. After spersuasion from their ex-classmates, Sophia didn't say much more.

She and Lenora chose a spot together by the round table.

Serena scoffed at Sophia, but her demeanor changed instantly when she turned to Zephyr. Her face lit up with a

warm smile. "Zephyr, csit over here." Every other spot was occupied, but the crowd intentionally left the

seat next to Serena vacant.

Zephyr pursed his lips, a glint of displeasure flickering in his eyes beneath his gold-rimmed glasses. Without

uttering a word, he took a seat beside Serena. The waiter began to serve the dishes.

Serena said to Zephyr, "I'm not sure if you'll like these dishes. If not, feel free to order something else."

Zephyr's eyes were deep and profound. Before he could even speak, a male ex-classmate teased, "I don't like

the food. Can | order something else?"

During mealtime, Serena was constantly by Zephyr's side, throwing provocative glances at Sophia from

tto time.

Sophia paid her no mind, engaging in conversation with other ex-classmates instead.

In the eyes of her average ex-classmates, Sophia was more popular.

Several single male ex-classmates subtly and overtly made conversation with Sophia.

Firstly, back in high school, Sophia was always at the bottom of the class, causing her homeroom teacher no end

of headaches. As a result, she was moved to the last row of the classroom.

She was the only girl in the last row, lively and outgoing. She got along well with the boys.

Secondly, there was a sense of competition among the men. They were displeased with how Serena was

constantly flattering Zephyr.

Jacob, in particular, who used to share a desk with Sophia, was extremely attentive and considerate toward her.

He would serve her food with the serving fork and pour her drinks. During their conversations, he showed

genuine interest in her daily work and life. Sophia joked, "What's this? Are you so concerned about me? Are you

trying to flirt with me?"

Jacob chuckled before asking, "Can I?"

Zephyr was quietly eating his meal. His hand gripping the fork gradually tightened, and his gaze became

increasingly somber.

Serena called out to Zephyr a couple of times, but he didn't seem to pay her any attention. Seeing Sophia

receiving even more adoration from the others, she felt a surge of frustration building within her. With a swift roll

of her eyes, she gave

gave Elsa a knowing look, subtly gesturing toward the wine bottle in front

of them.

Elsa knew what Serena meant. She poured two glasses of wine and brought one to Sophia, saying, "Sophia, it's

not often we get to meet. Lettoast to you!"

Sophia took it, reciprocated the gesture, and drank it.

"Sophia, lettoast to you as well!"

"Sophia, here! Lettoast to you."

As more and more people proposed toasts, Sophia found herself unable to refuse and could only continue

drinking.

After Sophia had several glasses, her petite face quickly turned rosy, her gaze becoming blurred.

"Enough. Don't pour her anymore. She can't drink any further." Lenora blocked the wine glass Elsa was handing

over.

Elsa said, "We're gathering today, and we won't go huntil we're drunk. What's there to fear?" Lenora had

long ago discerned that Elsa was acting under Serena's instructions, trying to get Sophia 12:59 Mon, 11 Nov GO

"In that case, you should get drunk first!" Lenora said in a calm and unhurried manner.

After a while, lunch was almost over.

Most people had finished their meals and were growing restless. Sleft to answer phone calls, swent to

have a smoke, and many seats around the table were left empty.

Sophia stood up, suddenly swaying a bit, nearly falling over. "I need to use the restroom," she said.

"I'll accompany you," Lenora said.

"No need. I'm fine." Sophia waved her hand, let out a hiccup from the alcohol, and headed toward the restroom.

Zephyr stood with his back to the restroom door, gazing out of the window from afar.

Upon hearing footsteps, he turned around. His gold-rimmed glasses caught a dazzling gleam. "Sophia."

Sophia hummed in response, her words laced with a hint of sarcasm under the influence of alcohol. "I bet the

scent here is quite pleasing, isn't it?"

She was known for never letting anyone off the hook with her words.

A flicker of helplessness flashed in Zephyr's eyes. He stepped forward and said, "Not at all. | was specifically

waiting for you."

"I'm not interested in reminiscing with you!" Sophia said before continuing to walk away.

Zephyr abruptly seized her wrist. "Am | trash?"

It seemed he had heard her words.

Sophia forcefully withdrew her hand and gazed at him coldly. "Are you not?"

After she finished speaking, she didn't give him a chance to respond. She just strode away.
