Chapter 21 A Group of Funny Fellows


    Zachariah drove along with Ophelia and arrived at their destination, an agritainment resort located in


    the surburbs. Ophelia got out of the car, and saw the LOGO hanging high above the door with a ''Rural


    Joys'' on it.


    ''Well, quite a straightforward name.'' Ophelia thought to herself.


    “It''s a property of my friend. Let''s go inside.” Zachariah parked the car and approached her, exining


    to her.


    With a nod, Ophelia followed him and stepped into the entrance.


    It was the moment when they went inside that a decently dressed waitress came forward, gave a deep


    bow and said, “Greetings! You must be Mr. Chambers? My boss and his friends are waiting for you


    inside.”


    Zachariah simply gave a ''yes'' to respond.


    “Mr. Chambers, please follow me.” The waitress showed gestured “please” in a rather respectful


    manner, and reached out one of her arms slightly to lead the way.


    Before walking into the agritainment resort, Ophelia thought it was nothing specialpared with other


    resorts in the countryside.


    However, what she saw along the corridor had proven that she was totally wrong. All the graceful and


    traditional Eastern decorations along the way showed not only the high level of artistic style, but also


    the unmeasurable financial resources avable to the owner here.


    It seemed that the social backgrounds of Zachariah''s friends were by no means lower than the upper


    ss.


    Being led by the waitress to a private room, Ophelia saw six or seven men sitting inside. At a first


    nce, she could feel that their eyes of curiosity were on her in return. Fortunately, it seemed that they


    soon looked away out of politeness, and she could not feel anything ufortable from their eyes.


    Since they were close friend of Zachariah, the astomosphere was quite rxed.


    Ophelia could only recognize two of them, as she had met them at the wedding ceremony four years


    ago.


    “Here you are, Zachariah! And see who you have brought here, I start to understand why you never


    take her along with you out. I mean, I will do the same, not letting anyone else to even have a chance


    toy their eyes on my beautiful wife, if I have one.” said a man about twenty six years old, wearing a


    gold rimmed spectacles on his gentle face.


    Zachariah made the introduction for Ophelia, “You can call him Cuttie, and almost all his families work


    in the government. He has been my friend since childhood.”


    Ophelia’s hand shot to her mouth to stifle a giggle. Cuttie stepped forwards and gave a punch at


    Zachariah''s shoulder, and then turned to Ophelia before saying in a cordial tone, “Deardy, my true


    name is Noah Gray, and it''s my pleasure to meet you. By the way, your beauty is really far above my


    expectation. It''s really a pity for such a beautiful woman like you to marry an idiot like Zachariah!”

    It seemed undoubtedly that this man was truly in a good rtionship with Zachariah, Ophelia thought.


    “Greetings, my name is Ophelia Lowe, and you can just call me Ophelia. It''s my pleasure to meet you


    too.” Ophelia replied with a smile and shook his hand.


    Noah covered his chest with his hands exaggeratedly and eximed, “Oh, what a graceful manner!


    Lucky for you to have such a gooddy as your wife, Zachariah!”


    Ophelia couldn''t helpughing out, thinking that Zachariah’s friend was so funny that one could hardly


    tell his essence simply from his appearance.


    Others in the room also stood up, and started to introduce themselves to Ophelia one by one. Soon


    she realized that they were either extremely rich or extraordinarily influential in the upper ss.


    One of the men called Chester Elliottughed and said, “Feel free to not bother yourself arguing with


    the silly man called Noah, Mrs. Chambers.”


    The Elliott family was engaging in both real estate business and entertainment industry. Being the


    young blood of the influential family, Chester had set up apany in his own name and achieved a


    remarkable oue.


    If there were a list of those typical youngster with both influential family backgrounds and strong


    personal abilities, he would definitely rank top 10 of it.


    Ophelia smiled and answered, “I just found that you guys are funnier than I have expected, and now I


    don''t have to worry about being awkward in front of you.”


    Her openness and carefree manner had impressed these men and lightened up the


    atmosphere.
