Hearing that name, Sabrina turned her gaze towards Bettie.
Lance was undoubtedly the man both Bettie and Elora were interested in Caught off guard, Bettieresponded coolly, “Oh really? I don’t give a damn.”
She found herself staring into the distance, her thoughts adrift.
Memories of his gentle and subdued demeanor emerged in her mind.
Some memories were not gradually blurred with time but became more and more profound.
Arielle chimed in, “It’s been ages since you two seen each other, hasn’t it? I remember the intenserivalry you had with Elora over him.
It seemed like you and Lance might‘ve had something lasting. But then, after he moved abroad, I heardElora followed. She’s the one who set up this reunion, and mentioned Lance might attend.”
“For real? Are they together now?” another classmate queried.
Arielle shot Bettie a glance, then speculated, “Possibly. They’ve both been abroad for so long, andElora’s been single all this while. Maybe she was holding out for Lance. Hosting a reunion right afterreturning?
Sounds a bit Like they’re sharing some news.”
In silence, Bettie’s eyes flickered with annoyance, her fingers involuntarily gripping the fabric of herdress.
Another classmate hinted, “We shouldn’t celebrate too soon. The final laugh might belong to someoneunexpected!”
Bettie’s face clouded over. She retorted sarcastically, “Is finding joy in leftovers I’ve discardedconsidered a victory?”
The classmate appeared taken aback, clearly not anticipating such a frank retort from Bettie.

With a handsome face framed by gold-rimmed glasses, he scanned the room. His gaze briefly settledon Bettie as he inquired, “What were you discussing moments ago?”
Upon spotting the figure by the doorway, Bettie’s eyes widened, and her body tensed up.
For a moment, her thoughts evaporated; he was the only one in her eyes.
Sabrina nudged Bettie gently.
Being astute, she picked up on the unspoken tension between Bettie and Lance.
Bettie snapped back to reality, quickly averting her eyes, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.novelbin
