Chapter 97 High School Classmates

Heather was tired after spending the whole day at the playground, so she wanted to head home.

Alex saw that Stanley was exhausted too, so he agreed to go back.

Alex didn’t want to cook today, so he brought Heather and Stanley to a restaurant.

“Heather!”

As they walked to their booth, they heard a lady calling after Heather.

Heather turned around and was surprised at who she saw–Ginny York.

“Ginny, didn’t expect to see you here,” Heather said as she took a look at the man sitting beside Ginny

The man wasn’t very handsome, but he looked smart and intelligent.

“He’s Harry, my boyfriend. Harry, she’s my friend from high school, Heather, and this is her husband Alex,” Ginny introduced everyone.

“Nice to meet you.” Harry shook hands with Alex, but he didn’t want to continue the conversation because Alex was dressed casually.

“Nice to meet you.” Alex smiled subtly and retracted his hand when he saw that Harry wasn’t interested in having a conversation with him.

However, when Harry shook Heather’s hands, his eyes lit up in admiration. It was evident that her beauty naturally drew the attention of everyone.

“Heather, why don’t you can join us. Mr. Larson is coming later too,” Ginny suggested.

“Mr. Larson? The Section Chief, Wade Larson?” Heather asked.

“Yeah. He’s really successful in his career, being the Section Chief of the Bureau of Commerce and Industry right now while his uncle is the deputy chief. More importantly, we haven’t seen each other in a long time, so we can catch up with each other.”

While Ginny said that, she took a look at Alex with a mocking glint in her eyes.

Wade courted Heather persistently during high school, so I’m curious as to what will happen when they meet later. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“Alright. We’ll join you then.” Heather nodded and sat down beside Ginny.

Incidentally, Heather needed to take care of some business in the Bureau of Commerce and Industry, so it would be great if she could ask for Wade’s help to sort things out.

On the other hand, Alex had no choice but to sit down with their son when he saw Heather doing the

same.

It’s just a meal anyway. He didn’t think much about it.

“Heather, what do you do?” Harry asked suddenly.

“The Jennings Corporation,” Heather smiled and replied.

“What a coincidence!” Harry exclaimed in surprise.

“Are you from there as well? Which department are you at?” Heather stared at Harry in surprise because she never thought that he would be just an ordinary worker.

The reason why she thought that way was because the only employees she wasn’t familiar with were the ordinary workers.

“No. Harry has a business management degree from Oxford, so how could he even work in a small company like yours?” Ginny said smugly.

What she really meant was that her boyfriend was exceptionally talented, so he couldn’t care less about a small company like Heather’s. With that sentence, she implicitly belittled Heather.

Graduates from normal colleges like you can only work in small companies like the Jennings Corporation.

Heather understood what Ginny implied, but she only smiled in response.

Even without Ginny’s ridicule, Heather knew that the Jennings Corporation was in hot water right now. 61% of its shares were already acquired by the Four Seas Corporation, so she could no longer be in control of the company anymore.

“I applied for the vice manager position in the Project Management Department and I was only accepted yesterday. I heard that the Jennings Corporation was acquired by the Four Seas Corporation, so…” Harry explained.

He just wanted to build some rapport with Heather, but he never thought that Ginny would misinterpret his intentions.

“Haha. We can be considered colleagues now.” Heather flashed a slight smile.

Harry chuckled a little before continuing, “The Four Seas Corporation’s boss really is wealthy. I heard that he is going to invest at least ten billion to poach loyal customers from its three other competitors. Ginny, you’re going to the interview tomorrow, right? I hope you can make it.”

“Are you underestimating me? I’m more than capable to be the Director’s secretary!” Ginny cocked her eyebrows proudly.

Meanwhile, Alex took a look at Ginny as he remained silent.
