Chapter 1151 Alms For The Beggar
Upon hearing the man’s words, Alex suddenly remembered why he found the name familiar. It turnedout that the man in front of him was his university classmate, Edmund Gray.
“Edmund, you’ve changed a lot! I didn’t even recognize you,” Alex said, trying to be polite uponmeeting. his university classmate. After all, the man was now working for him in his company.novelbin
During their time in university, the two had little interaction and couldn’t be considered friends. Theywere merely acquaintances from the same department.
Edmund took the takeaway from Alex’s hands and a disdainful expression appeared on his face as hesaid, “Speaking of change, it’s not me who has changed so much! I never expected you to be doing sopoorly and resorting to delivering food. Weren’t you working as a security guard at Four SeasCorporation before? What happened? Did they fire you?”
Seeing that his old classmate, Alex, was the one delivering food to him, Edmund couldn’t help but feela sense of satisfaction in this strange coincidence.
Although the two of them had little connection during their time at university, Heather was Edmund’ssecret crush. However, during that time, Heather got together with Alex, leaving Edmund with nochance to pursue her. He could only silently watch from the sidelines.
As a result, Edmund never attended any alumni gatherings after graduating from university because hedidn’t want to see the sight of Heather and Alex together.
Later, he also inquired about Heather’s news and heard that shortly after their graduation, the two ofthem. got married, with Alex marrying into the Jennings family.
Edmund believed that he could never do such a thing. It was one thing to have a crush on a dream girl,but marrying into her family as a man was like willingly sacrificing his dignity and allowing others to
trample on it.
Edmund kept tabs on Heather’s life-from giving birth to divorcing Alex. Upon hearing about theirdivorce, Edmund even celebrated with his friends, not because he wanted to pursue Heather after thedivorce, but because he found it satisfying to see them split up. His friends had asked him if he wantedto pursue Heather after the divorce, to which Edmund replied arrogantly, “She’s been married and hada child, and she even married a loser. I wouldn’t want a woman like that even if she threw herself atme.”
Initially, Alex thought that since his old classmate was working in his company, they should have a nicechat. However, Edmund’s words were filled with pointed remarks, and Alex wouldn’t stoop so low as tocontinue chatting with someone who was being cold to him,
With a cold tone, Alex asked, “Isn’t that none of your business? How can you be so sure that I’m just afood delivery guy?”
Edmund sneered, thinking that Alex was merely putting on an act. He disdainfully replied, “The moreuseless a man is, the more he likes to pretend to be successful. Just deliver food if you’re a fooddelivery guy. What great skills can someone like you have?”
Adjusting his suit, Edmund looked down on Alex and said, “I’m not like you, traveling about in badweather. In the middle of summer, you’re still riding an electric motorcycle everywhere. I prefer stayingin this air-conditioned office. It’s quite enjoyable.”
Alex had come to Tech Dome to see if there were any recent developments, not to listen to Edmundboast.
“The benefits at Tech Dome are pretty good. You focus on your work, and I have other things to attendto. I’ll take my leave!” Alex said, wanting to get away from Edmund’s oppressive presence.
This was a good opportunity to oppress Alex. How could Edmund let him go so easily? He blockedAlex’s path.
“Why are you in such a hurry? Rushing off to make your next delivery? I’ll give you some money forwasting your time since I’m a generous man. I even give a couple of hundred bucks to beggars on thestreet all the time,” Edmund said, smiling.
His words treated Alex as if he were just another beggar on the street deserving of charity.
