In the dim light, Brendon could only see the blurry outline of the woman’s face, but the kiss on her lips was enough to fill his heartpletely.


    Since they were in a public ce, Brendon didn’t go too far. However, feeling guilty, Ranita barely watched the rest of the movie, her face flushed. As soon as it ended, she ran out.


    Ranita hid in the restroom to calm down, only to turn around and bump into Lily and Diana Heath. Both of them were momentarily stunned before they approached with insincere smiles.


    “Isn’t this Ranita? What are you doing here alone?” Diana Heath asked with a grin. “Are you here to eat or watch a movie by yourself?”


    “This is an upscale mall. Dining and movies aren’t cheap here. Can you afford it now?” Lily mocked with a smirk. “Don’t pretend to be something you’re not! It will only make life harder for you!”


    “We’re meeting some old ssmates at a restaurant on this floor. Since we all know each other, you can join us for a meal.”N?velDrama.Org holds this content.


    “Lily, are you out of your mind?”


    “Who are you calling crazy?! Ranita, stop acting so smug. Everyone online knows about your scandals… Didn’t you try to seduce someone’s fiance? Why are you back in Stnd now?”


    Lily red angrily, and Diana Heath immediately joined in. “Exactly, you’ve embarrassed all our ssmates. If it were me, I’d be too ashamed to show my face!”


    “Lily, you’re so kind to invite her to dinner. Can she even afford such an expensive restaurant?”


    Ranita initially didn’t want to engage with them, but their words provoked her.


    “Where is your ss reunion? Fine, I’ll go say a few words to our ssmates!”


    Hearing that Ranita was serious about going, Diana Heath sneered. “If you want toe, then follow us!”


    After all, it would be her who would be embarrassedter.


    As Ranita reached the private room’s door, she remembered she hadn’t informed Brendon and paused. Diana Heath immediately taunted her. “Ranita, are you chickening out?”


    Ranita smiled faintly. “Of course not! I just want to send a message to my boyfriend so he won’t worry.”


    Diana Heathughed mockingly. “Looks like you know you’re about to make a fool of yourself and are preparing an escape route!”


    Ignoring her, Ranita pushed the door open and entered.


    Inside the private room were indeed several former ssmates, along with Lily’s husband and a few unfamiliar faces, probably from other departments.


    However, Ranita was quite well-known in school, so many recognized her.


    “Ranita?”


    “It’s really you! Long time no see!”


    Her former ssmates greeted her warmly. Ranita nodded. “Indeed, it’s been a long time.”


    Lily quickly exined. “We ran into each other outside, so I invited her to join us.”


    “You don’t mind, do you?”


    “Of course not! Ranita, it’s been years since west saw you. Where are you working now?” someone asked before Ranita even sat down.


    Ranita nced at Lily and replied calmly. “I’ve had some family matters recently, so I’m currently taking a break.”


    The room fell silent for a moment.


    “Oh, I see… We’re all old ssmates. If you’re interested, you cane work for my husband. We’re looking for a simultaneous interpreter. You could give it a try,” Lily offered with feigned kindness. “The pay is good; you won’t be treated unfairly.”


    “Yes, think about it. It’s hard for young people to find jobs these days. You should cherish this opportunity Lily is giving you!” Diana Heath chimed in. “You should thank Lily!”
