Chapter 149 Went to the same school


    nca followed Matthew down the stairs. She lowered her head and seemed to be deep in thought.


    Matthew looked at her with concern. He thought she was sad since she could not meet Mr. Butler this


    time. “Okay, I know you’re upset...” he tried tofort her.


    “I’m not upset, for I know you are the kind of guy who will do what you have promised. It was because


    of my high heels,” nca said. Her face broke into a radiant smile, full of the light of youth.


    For a while, Matthew couldn’t get his eyes off her face. Then he gave a crisp yet dry cough and looked


    away. “Well. Let’s go.”


    No sooner had they arrived on the first floor than two guests approached Matthew and they talked.


    Matthew was the chairman of the Empire Group. So, there were many guests who wanted to get


    acquainted with him.


    nca stood by his side quietly. To her surprise, someone came to greet her, “I saw you walking with


    Mr. Grant just now. I guess you are his wife, nca. It is such an honor to meet you.”


    “Nice to meet you too,” said nca politely. Louise, with her friends, entered the conversation too.


    nca talked to them with a polite smile. She knew she was not only nca, but also the wife of


    Matthew and Mrs. Grant. She could not disgrace the Grant family at this moment.


    However, just at that moment, a crisp voice came from nearby. “Ah! nca! Is that really you? What


    are you doing here?”


    nca followed the voice and saw a maid standing right in front of her. she recognized she was Helen,


    who went to the same high school with her.


    “Where have you been all these years? I haven’t seen you for ages. I didn’t expect to see you here. Oh


    my god! Your dress looked so expensive!” Helen continued and the excitement in her voice was


    palpable.


    Malinda was surprised and couldn’t help asking, “You know nca?”


    “Yes, Miss Roach. I haven’t seen her in a long time. We went to the same high school, but she left the


    school afterward and no one knew where she was,” Helen said excitedly. She was dressed in gray

    Khaki uniforms and wore an apron, her eyes bright with excitement. “nca used to work in a


    restaurant with me. Oh, by the way, why are you here?”


    At once everyone in the hall became silent. In fact, nca had openly admitted that she hadn’t finished


    high school and had spent some time in juvie. Many people admired her courage at that moment, but


    things were diffident at this point. Some of them gave nca a contemptuous look.


    To everyone’s surprise, nca’s face did not change. Instead, she smiled kindly. “It’s great to see you


    again, Helen! I’m here for the party.” Then she turned to Malinda and said, “We indeed had gone to the


    same school, Malinda. Now she works for you. I hope you could give a hand if she needs.”


    “Sure,” Malinda said. She looked at nca in surprise. In such a situation, nca did not look like she


    felt even just a little panic at all. On the contrary, she was unashamed to admit her past. The crowd of


    onlookers were rather impressed by her sincerity and walked away. Malinda took a look at nca,


    apparently lost in thought. nca was smarter than she thought.


    “Sorry, Helen. I’ve just got something to do first and I hope to see you again.” nca said and took her


    by the hand.


    Helen had understood what was going on. She looked a little white and ashamed. “Sorry, nca. I


    always say the wrong thing.”


    “Don’t me yourself. You did nothing wrong.” nca held her hand, trying tofort her. She didn’t


    expect to see her here, but it was nothing special. She wouldn’t and couldn’t hide her humble origins.


    Even so, nca was a little depressed because of their contemptuous look. From then on, no one


    talked to her. Maybe they thought nca didn’t deserve to be their friends.
