Chapter 99 An Invitation To A Party

“You’re right. Alex’s physique is quite suited for the role of a security guard. When I go to work tomorrow, I’ll arrange for you to be a guard.” Harry chuckled.

Heather frowned slightly because she thought that Harry and Ginny were crossing the line.

However, she knew that Alex was no saint as well, so she chose to remain silent.

“Alright! Thank you, Harry. Let me treat you to this meal.” Alex smiled ‘gratefully.

“Thanks then! Harry will help you take care of the rest.”

Ginny glanced mockingly at Alex. She didn’t mind footing the bill, but she felt an odd sense of satisfaction because she could take advantage of Alex.

“No problem. You haven’t ordered yet, right?” Alex nodded and asked.

“No. The star of the show today is Wade, so we’ll order after he arrives,” Ginny replied.

At that moment, Ginny’s phone rang, so she took the call outside. After a brief moment, she came back with another young man.

The young man was 175cm tall, and he was dressed formally. Compared to the casually dressed Alex, he seemed more respectable than Alex.

He was none other than Wade Larson, the Section Chief of the Bureau of Commerce and Industry.

When Wade saw that Heather and Alex were there too, he frowned unwittingly.

“You’re here too.” Wade sized them up and said in an ambiguous tone.

“Yeah. We’re here.” Alex smiled subtly when he took a look at Wade.

Wade Larson. I heard from Heather that he kept pestering her in high school, but he gave up when he found out that Walt was courting her too in university.

“Mr. Larson, I heard from Ginny that they invited you for a meal, so we joined in on the fun too. We hope you don’t mind,” Heather said politely.

“What nonsense, Heather! Of course I wouldn’t mind.” Wade smiled and replied, even though he never expected Heather and Alex’s company.

He gave up on courting Heather back then, but he still felt frustrated because she married a piece of garbage like Alex.

That was why Alex didn’t make a good impression.

However, as a government official, he learned to keep a low profile, so he wouldn’t show his displeasure even if he disliked someone.

“Waiter. Please take our order.” Alex didn’t want to drag things any longer because Wade had already arrived. He knew that this meal was going to be a very boring one, so he just wanted to get it over and

done with.

A hint of revolt flashed in Wade’s eyes when he looked at Alex. I just don’t get why Heather would fall for wack

an ill–mannered man!

“By the way, there’s a reunion party for our high school mates the day after tomorrow. Did anyone tell you about it?” Wade asked Heather.

He was the one who suggested the reunion party while another classmate of his organized it. Truth be told, he never intended to tell Heather about it before today.

However, he changed his mind now because he wanted Heather to regret choosing a douchebag like Alex over him.

Heather shook her head.

“Well, now you knew. Be there or be square!” Wade said.

“Alright. It’s been a long time since I caught up with my high school friends anyway.” Heather nodded in approval.

“Alex, you can tag along too. Attendees are allowed to bring along their family members.” Wade turned towards Alex once more with a mocking glance. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Alex could see through Wade’s intentions, so he smiled and replied, “Is it free of charge? I’ll go if it is.”
