    her gut reaction was to skedaddle.


    Nowadays, the moment Julie heard Kieran’s name,


    “Sorry, Porter, Daphne and I have something to attend to, we’re gonna bounce” Julie forced a smile,


    grabbed Daphne, and was ready to split the scene. But just then, behind her came the confident voice


    of Raul, thew school professor, “Julie? Running away as soon as you see me? Are you afraid I might


    eat you?”


    Raul, in his sixties, looked at Julie with kindly eyes. She had no choice but to turn around and face the


    music. But what she didn’t expect was that standing next to Raul was the dean, and… Kieran.


    He was wearing a dark gray suit, a white shirt paired with a blue–grey striped tie, formal and elegant.


    He stood amongst a group of leaders, radiating brilliance, calmly chatting with the dean.


    Seemed like she was not getting off the hook today. Because Raul was already pointing at her,


    laughing as he said to Kieran, “Kieran, this is Joyce, who was head over heels for you, remember?”


    Back then, Julie’s pursuit of Kieran was indeed crazy, like she would do anything for Kieran, just


    unstoppable.

    When Raul brought this up. Porter immediately chimed in, “Yeah, at that time Kieran said, if Julie could


    jump off the top of the school building, he would be her boyfriend. Julie was really determined back


    then, she even hired a professional parachuting team to perform a stunt at our school during summer


    break, which was way higher than the school building.”


    Back then, her family hadn’t gone bankrupt yet, Julie was the pampered princess of the family, and


    didn’t worry about any life issues. Her biggest goal in life was to chase after Kieran


    Bringing up such past memories, Julie now felt that she was really bold back then. How did she


    manage to not care about her image?


    Even the dean enjoyed reminiscing about the past. “Thanks to Julie’s leap, it made social media news


    and gave ourw school a big shout–out!” Many students gathered around, originally drawn by Kieran’s


    poprity and good looks, but ended up being attracted by Julie’s glorious deeds. All of them threw


    admiring nces at Julie.


    Daphne knitted her brows,ughed at the dean, and as if to protect Julie, said, “That’s water under the


    bridge! Please don’t bring it up again, Julie will be embarrassed. She was just a naive kid back then!”


    While saying this, Daphne gave Kieran a meaningful nce.


    The dean and Raul both burst intoughter. Many old ssmates gathered around after the scene, all


    starting tough and reminisce about the past.


    Porter stood up and said, “It’s chow time, I’ve already booked a table at a restaurant, my treat. We can


    chat while we eat, sound good?”


    Everyone agreed to his suggestion.


    Viviana, a long–lost ssmate, walked up to Porter, smiled at Julie, and said, “We haven’t seen each


    other for years, I haven’t heard from you since we graduated. We have to catch up on what you’ve


    been doing these years!”


    Viviana, Daphne, and Julie used to share a dorm. But during school, Julie rarely went back to the dorm.


    She didn’t spend much time with Viviana, but Julie knew Viviana and Porter often bickered with each


    other. But surprisingly, Viviana ended up marrying her least favorite, Porter, and they seemed quite


    happy


    Julie thought Kieran would be too busy to attend the lunch gathering, so she agreed. The dean and


    Raul had other things to deal with, so they declined Porter’s invitation and left.


    Julie thought Kieran would do the same. But to her surprise, Porter enthusiastically said to Kieran, “Mr.


    Hernandez, could you join us for lunch? Although you’re not a graduate of ourw school, you are an


    outstanding student of Futuro Business College, and you aced your degree at our university, everyone


    knows about this!”


    Julie instinctively looked at Porter and chuckled. “Mr. Hernandez is so busy, he probably doesn’t have


    the time…”


    “Thank you for your kind offer, how about this, I’ll pick up the tab for this meal, how does that sound?”


    Kieran softlyughed.


    Porter was taken aback for a moment, then immediately responded with a smile, “No problem, it’s all


    the same, Mr. Hernandez, right this way.”
