The elevator arrived. O
Keira stepped out of the elevator and headed toward the reserved private room.
Charles swallowed hard, took a few quick steps, and
came up beside her. He still couldnt believe it and wanted to confirm something, but he didnt know what
to say.
It was then he realized that when someone was extremely surprised, they actually couldnt speak.
Charles pointed to his phone, then pointed at Keira.
Keira smiled at him kindly, and then Charles just followed her into the private room, looking so
dumb.
The Horton family had a solid status in Oceanic Emperor Palace Hotel was a part of Horton Grou enterprises, so it was very easy for Jake to book a private room here.
The large private room featured a huge table that could seat twenty to thirty people.

When Keira entered the room, there were already a dozen or so people inside.
They all just graduated this year, so the discussion wasnt about trivial family matters but about work.
As soon as Keira and Charles entered, the room quieted down momentarily.
The gaze of the male students all fell on Keira.
After all, during their school days, this seemingly unapproachable beauty was so aloof that the only legends in the class were about her, and the only person who could have a few words with her was Jake.
Keira was the goddess in the hearts of many male students.
Seeing Charles entering with Keira, and noticing that his eyes were somewhat glazed over as he dumbly followed her, it wasnt until she reached a seat that he suddenly realized something and hurriedly pulled out a chair for her. Please please have a seat.
This was his boss, the owner of the company!
Charless actions, however, led to a misunderstanding, and everyone started teasing him.

Charles, whats your relationship with Keira?
How did you come together? Come on, what happened after graduation that we dont know about?
Charles panicked and immediately waved his hands. Dont talk nonsense!
Him with Dr. South?!
He wouldnt!
Leaving these words, Charles took a seat next to Keira.
This was an opportunity to get on good terms with the boss, and he couldnt let it slip by.
Next to them was a young woman named Erin Davis. She had kept an eye on them since they entered the room. She had always liked Charles during colle They were WhatsApp friends and had been in f touch over the past two months, but nothing wa settled yet.
Now, Charless attentive gesture to Keira was more
than Erin could bear.
She spoke in a sarcastic tone. Keira, I heard from Isla that you hadnt found a job yet.

Keira raised an eyebrow and looked at her without saying a word.
Erin continued. You dont have to feel embarrassed. There are so many classmates here today. If you havent found a job, you can ask everyone to introduce you to one. Oh, our receptionist just quit, and were hiring. Do you want to give it a try?
Keira frowned.
Charles then spoke up. Dont be ridiculous. How could D I mean, how could Keira possibly work as a receptionist!
Erin scoffed. What? Do you look down on receptionists? Its a proper job! And do you think being a receptionist is so easy?
Charles immediately said, Thats not what I meant, Keira the field she studied doesnt match with being
receptionist!
But she hasnt been able to find a job. Maybe because her grades in her major werent that good, right? Keira has one advantage, though; shes pretty and could be the face of the company. Im thinking of her best. interests. After all, its been more than two months

since graduation. Doesnt Keira feel the pressure to earn a living?
Keira frowned and snorted. I dont need you to worry
about my affairs.
She knew that at a class reunion like this, she was
bound to encounter ostracism.
After all, when Isla transferred to her department in the university, she had indeed spurred the other girls to isolate Keira.
But today was Professor Millers birthday; he was like a teacher and a father to her, so she had to be here.
Keira carried an air of aloofness. With her words, Erin was speechless and seemed a bit angry as she said condescendingly, I overstepped. I was just worried that you were struggling to find a job. Since youre ungrateful, Ill just drop it!
A young man also thought Keiras attitude a bit inappropriate, so he frowned and said, Were all classmates here. Maybe the tone of our conversation isnt the best, but its for your own good, Keira. Theres no need to be so dismissive, right?
Erin pretended to be apologetic. Dont say that. I

shouldnt have brought it up at the reunion. After all, this is Keiras private matter, and it was indeed embarrassing for her. Keira, if youre really bothered by this, then I apologize.

The young man let out a cold laugh. I dont understand why we cant talk about this at a class reunion. Isnt this a fact? Is it all about saving face without asking for help? Keira, sometimes in life, you shouldnt care about such ethereal things too much. Its better to be down-to-earth!
Keira was perplexed,
Her gaze became even colder. Sometimes, the best thing to do is not to meddle in others business, right?
You!
The young man was angry and pointed at her. He on managed to say one word before Erin grabbed his ar Okay, okay, lets not talk about this anymore. Next topic?
The man scoffed, She really doesnt appreciate good intentions!
Seeing she had the upper hand, Erin laughed and changed the subiect. Actually talking about iobs.

among us, Charles found the best job! Do you know who hes working under?
Everyone became curious all at once. Who?
Erin looked at Keira and asked, Keira, do you know?
Keira didnt know what to say.
She didnt understand why this person suddenly called her out; she simply took a sip of her tea, glanced at Charles, and said, Im not too sure.
Erin immediately laughed. Hasnt Charles told you? He works under Dr. South!
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, and then they turned toward Charles with curiosity, bombarding him with questions.
Is Dr. South a man or a woman?
What kind of question is that? Definitely a man, a cultured and scholarly middle-aged man!
Charles, have you met Dr. South in person? Can you get me his autograph?
My gosh, to think a classmate of mine works under Dr. South. Ill be proud to tell everyone about it!

Charles, come on, tell us about Dr. Souths work!
Even if you cant reveal Dr. Souths private matters, you can talk about your new research projects!
Charles, who was already impatient with everyone ridiculing Keira, immediately turned to her upon hearing this. Dr. South is not as far away as you think, but rather right before your eyes.
