1268 Running into a Former Cla.s.smate

When it was almost dinnertime, the two of them finally finished unpacking and walked out of their room.

Cheyennes cheeks were still flushed, and she looked incredibly radiant.

Even Charlotte was astonished by Cheyennes beauty at the moment. When she saw her sisters red and slightly swollen lips, she immediately figured out what Cheyenne and Lucas had been doing for the last few hours and blushed with embarra.s.sment.

Noticing Lucass satisfied look, she glared at him and cursed, Hmph! Lecher!

!!

Lucas was shocked, but he instantly realized what was going on and looked at Cheyenne. Caught between laughter and tears, he looked awkward.

Cheyenne was just as awkward.

Although it was normal for them to get intimate since they were married, it was still broad daylight, and it was their first day in DC. She felt embarra.s.sed that her sister had discovered them.

Okay, its getting late. Ill go make dinner! Cheyenne hurried to the kitchen.

Lucas received a call at this moment. After answering it, he shouted toward the kitchen, Cheyenne, you dont have to cook for me. I have something to attend to now.

He grabbed his car key and left the villa.

The call had been from Bruce. The Hales had arrived in DC two days ago, and they had asked to meet Lucas for a discussion at the Parkers Hampton Restaurant.

When Lucas arrived at the entrance of the restaurant and was about to enter, he suddenly heard a surprised voice from the side.

Huh? Arent you Lucas Gray?

The voice sounded extremely familiar. Lucas turned around and saw a young man around the same age as him. Indeed, Lucas recognized him, but he couldnt remember his name.

You are? Lucas asked, slightly puzzled.

Hey, Lucas Gray, have you forgotten me now that youre rich? You cant even remember who I am? We were cla.s.smates in high school! Im Chace Barker. Do you remember now? the young man said with displeasure.

Lucas finally recalled who he was. Oh, its you. Its been years since weve met. Im surprised you still recognize me.

Although Chaces name somewhat rang a bell to Lucas, he didnt have a deep impression of him and only vaguely remembered that this person was his high school cla.s.smate.

After thinking about it, he remembered that they were just acquaintances in high school, and they had barely spoken to each other, let alone be friends.

He didnt expect that Chace could still recognize him at a glance despite it having been more than a decade.

Chace wasnt alone. Standing beside him was a fas.h.i.+onably dressed woman with heavy makeup.

Honey, you actually have a high school cla.s.smate whos failed so miserably at life? He looks too ordinary, just like a b.u.mpkin. Tsk tsk!

The young woman was incredibly caustic with her words.

It was extremely disrespectful to say something like this when meeting someone for the first time.

Lucas frowned slightly.

But what surprised him even more was the reaction of Chase, his former cla.s.smate.

Chace put his arm around the young womans shoulder and said to Lucas with a contemptuous smirk, Sweetie, youre right! Did you know that Lucas was the poorest person in our cla.s.s back then? Sometimes, he couldnt even afford to get lunch, and we could hear his stomach growling in cla.s.s! Haha, it was hilarious!

Its good enough that someone like him hasnt starved to death yet. What do you expect from him? How fas.h.i.+onable can he be? After all, hes just a penniless loser! Thats how I recognized him at a glance!

The young woman burst into laughter and looked at Lucas with ridicule. Oh, I see! I was wondering when you had such a poor friend. It turns out you recognized him from the way he reeks of poverty!

While speaking, the young woman feigned waving her hand in front of her nose as if she had really smelled an odor.

Lucas stopped smiling and quickly scanned Chace and his wife. They were both decked out in designer wear. They had Patek Philippe watches on their wrists, the latest iPhones in their hands, and various luxury accessories, jewelry, etc. Their outfits were worth several tens of thousands of dollars.

They did seem quite well off, which explained why they were so haughty and condescending.

Chace smiled smugly and suddenly seemed to think of something. Lucas Gray, my wife, is straightforward and honest. Were former cla.s.smates, so you wont mind a few casual remarks, will you?

Lucas barely remembered Chace at first, but now, he had an awful impression of him.

Of course, he wouldnt be bothered by people like Chace, and there was indeed no need to continue wasting his time with him.

I have something to do, so Im leaving now, Lucas said indifferently and walked toward the restaurant.

Hey, wait!! Chace immediately moved to the side and blocked Lucas.

Lucas, dont tell me you want to have a meal at the Pakers Hampton Restaurant? Chace sized Lucas up and said in exaggerated disbelief, Lucas Gray, I know what your family background is. Although the Hampton Restaurant sounds like an ordinary place, its a five-star restaurant!

Any item on the menu here costs at least a hundred dollars! A meal here will easily set you back a thousand dollars. But you actually dare to dine here?

Lucas became annoyed and impatient. He said coldly, What does it matter to you whether Im here for a meal or not?

Chace was instantly displeased. He felt offended that Lucas had retorted against him. What right does this penniless loser have to speak to me like that?

The young woman was also irked. She looked at the few shabbily-dressed beggars gathered not far from the restaurant and suddenly smiled. Honey, I think this former cla.s.smate of yours might really be able to have a meal here!

She pouted her lips at the beggars and said maliciously, I heard that the Hampton Restaurant only serves the freshest ingredients every day and never keeps any overnight. So they give away the unused ingredients and the guests leftovers to the homeless every day!

Maybe your cla.s.smate is here for the leftovers?

Chace burst into laughter. Youre right! You have a point, Honey. He might really be here to beg for leftovers. I once caught him picking up leftovers back in high school. Hahaha!

The two of them mocked Lucas without restraint, making his expression completely gloomy.
