Chapter 62 Dennis Was Flattered
Chapter 62 Dennis Was Flattered
Dennis, who was a native of JN City, had been born with a silver spoon in his mouth, for his family ran
a well-known cosmetics company.
But instead of being ignorant and incompetent, he had got good achievements in study since
childhood. And he had ever been the man of the hour in his college days.
At that time, however, he had still lost to Duncan in the affection aspect.
Because in his college days, he had lost his heart to Zoe and kept trying to win her affections, but
failed.
Zoe had rejected all her many suitors, or she had been in love with Duncan, although the latter had
simply been a shiftless fellow at that time.
Precisely because of that, there had been confrontations between Dennis and Duncan until they had
graduated from college.
As for Zoe, she had not become Duncan’s girlfriend in the end. Instead, she had returned to her home
city and lost contact with Duncan after graduation.
Now, Duncan would not dispute with Dennis anymore. But when he had heard Zoe’s name, the past
flashed across his mind again.
Zoe was from out of JN City. In fact, she and Duncan had been brought up together. Their two families
were equal in strength and status. And before Duncan had been kicked out of his family, their two
families had even intended to make him and Zoe married.
But for some reason, Duncan had been kicked out of his family. Reluctant to lose Duncan, Zoe had
followed Duncan to JN City, trying to persuade him to return to his home. Finally, however, she had
been taken back to her home by her family.
After that, Duncan had got married with Alyssa.
“Hi, Duncan, glad to see you here!” Dennis greeted, his voice breaking into Duncan’s thoughts.
Different from Duncan, Dennis was so narrow-minded that he failed to let go of the past.
He hadn’t expected Duncan to attend the class reunion before. But now that Duncan was here, at the
thought of the past events, as well as the purpose of this reunion, he certainly wouldn’t miss the chance
to humiliate him.
As he spoke, he walked up to Duncan, staring at the latter.
Seeing that Duncan was simply in a casual suit, he looked away, and his lips curled in a contemptuous
smile.
“It seemed that Duncan was hard up!” He sneered in mind.
He said to Duncan with a fake smile, “How have you been? Long time no see. Where do you work?”
“I met Duncan a few days ago. He seems to be a security guard in a bar!”
Before Duncan could say anything, a mocking feminine voice suddenly sounded at the door.
All the people present turned around and saw that Jane, who was well-dressed, coming towards them
with a Louis Vuitton bag in her hand.
After having been dumped by Scott, Jane regarded Duncan as her most hated enemy.
When she had just stepped into the door, she had happened to hear Dennis’s words, so how could she
miss the chance to humiliate Duncan?
Of course, she didn’t know Duncan’s true identity in Mysterious Midnight Bar. But she didn’t care about
it. All she wanted to do was let Duncan lose face in front of the classmates.
Upon hearing her words, Duncan’s eyebrows knitted together in a little frown. But on sober reflection,
he didn’t want to explain it. After all, he didn’t care what others think of him.
“You’re a security guard in a bar? Tut-tut, I expected better of you, Duncan. How about coming to work
in my company? I’m now the sales manager of my company, earning forty thousand a year. Since
you’re my former classmate, I’ll recommend you for the post of a salesman in my group. It’s better than
being a security guard, isn’t it?” A man named Jeff Hancock stood up, flaunting his success.
Taking a look at him, Duncan smiled indifferently, “Thanks. But I like the job I have now very much.”
“Oh, come on, Duncan. You can’t be a security guard all your life. Your job is for young males, isn’t it?
When you’re aging, you will be fired!” Jeff sneered.
“I heartily agree with Jeff on this!” said a woman with heavy make-up. As she spoke, she kept giving
Jeff the glad eye.
“Everyone has his own ambition. We must respect Duncan’s choice,” Dennis said.
In fact, he was quite glad to see that Duncan was living a poor life.
“How have your business been going lately, Dennis? I heard you spent hundreds of thousands on a
new Mercedes s-class!” a crew-cut man said with envy.
“Hey, you’re quite well off, aren’t you? As far as I know, you own a new car worth sixty thousand,” a
man said.
“Well, I made a little money in stocks recently. So I bought a new car with that.” The crew-cut man
smiled, pretending to be calm. In fact, he was just a bank teller with a monthly salary of four hundred.
Besides, he hadn’t got his car yet.
In order not to lose face in front of the classmates, he had specially rented a new car worth sixty
thousand.
“Have you got your car, Duncan?” Jane looked at Duncan and asked, directing the spearhead at him
again.
She was determined to avenge herself on Duncan who had let her lose face a few days ago.
Duncan simply didn’t want to pay attention to Jane, but now he was a little annoyed by her.
Just then, however, a burst of laughter came from outside the door. The next moment, the manager of
the Vapour Club came in.
The manager, a man in his forties, was a leader of the Dark Tiger Bang. After knowing that Duncan
was in the Vapour Club, he wanted to do something to flatter him.
“Sorry to be a bother. This is one of our best collection, DRC 1990. Please enjoy it, Sir.” The manager This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
smiled, personally putting the wine on the table.
The manager was an old acquaintance of Dennis’s. But this wine was quite valuable. Each one sold for
more than twenty thousand, and the most important thing was that DRC was rare. So it was always
served for special guests. Even though Dennis wanted to aggrandize himself in front of the classmates,
he would not have that chance!
“I think you’ve got it wrong, Manager? I didn’t order this,” Dennis said.
“This is for free! Anyway, I wish you enjoy yourselves at the party. Please call me if you need any help.”
The manager smiled, slightly nodding to Duncan. Then, he turned around and left.
Obviously, the wine was for Duncan.
But the others present had no idea about it. They simply thought the wine was for Dennis. Therefore,
they became more obsequious to Dennis.
“I envy you, Dennis! Even the manager of the Vapour Club specially prepared the wine for you!”
“It sold for more than twenty thousand a bottle. I’ve never sampled such expensive wine!”
…
The people present kept fawning on Dennis, while the latter was in a complete daze.
He knew clearly that the manager of Vapour Club had influential backing.
In fact, the manager had ignored him completely whenever he had come there.
Therefore, he was quite confused why the manager had suddenly prepared the wine for him, especially
in front of his classmates.
But flattered by his classmates, he was quite delighted, so he didn’t care about it anymore.
