Chapter 287 An Unpleasant Gathering

Abigail had gotten married after she had graduated not long ago. Now that she had gotten a divorce, it was hard

for her to respond to her professor’s question.

“I haven’t gone anywhere. I’ve opened a studio with Luna and am mostly working behind the scenes on designs to

improve myself,” Abigail replied softly.

Hearing her words, the professor nodded in satisfaction.

Soon, more classmates arrived. Even Luna, who was out of town, managed to make it.

As Luna sat next to Abigail, she gestured to her to look at the table beside them.

Abigail was so engrossed in talking to her professor that she didn’t notice someone sitting beside them. When she

turned to look, she saw Sean, along with several other individuals she didn’t recognize. They were all dressed

smartly and looked professional.

At the same time, Anthony noticed her gaze and instinctively looked over. Upon seeing Sean at the next table, he

thought it was quite a coincidence. However, this restaurant had become a preferred gathering place for upscale

people because of a famous chef’s recent national recognition, so it wasn’t entirely unexpected. Hence, it was

evident that Sean was here to talk business.

Sean seemed to have sensed Abigail’s gaze and gave her a nonchalant glance. Although his expression appeared

composed, his gaze was dark.

Immediately, Abigail averted her eyes.

When all the classmates were gathered, Anthony told the waiter to start serving the food.

“I know everyone here is very busy, so I’ve prepared everything in advance. If there’s anything not to your liking,

please excuse me,” Anthony announced loudly while the waiter served the dishes.

Since it was an open–plan restaurant, when one table spoke, the other table would overhear some of the

conversation.

Thus, Sean turned his head and glanced at the table where Abigail was seated.

So, she is here to attend a reunion.

As he thought about it, he averted his gaze. Then, he heard Luna say, “Mr. Booker has always been considerate. I’m

sure he has considered everyone’s needs, right, Madam Mora?”

The professor looked at them and smiled warmly. “Anthony is indeed very thoughtful. We have every reason to trust

him.”

“Speaking of which, many of us present here are already married. Aren’t your family worried that you are still

single, Anthony?” A beautiful female classmate, who resembled a movie star, asked Anthony as she propped her

chin on her hand. Although she studied design, her striking looks and figure allowed her to work as a model right

after graduation. Moreover, she managed her own social media accounts. Thus, she believed that she was doing

pretty well compared to Abigail.

Those classmates who were married sipped their drinks quietly, not engaging in the discussion.

A male classmate with a beer belly and thinning hair teased, “Yeah. Do you not have someone in your heart,

Anthony? Are you waiting for someone?”

Anthony smiled and replied, “I’m very busy with work. How could I have the time to find someone else?”

“Oh, come on. You’re not busy tonight. We have Abigail, Luna, Sarah, and our super gorgeous classmate, Jennifer.

All of them are single. Don’t be too picky now, as it’s hard to find girls who are single nowadays. It’s quite a

coincidence that we have a few single female classmates here tonight.” The male classmate advised Anthony with

the tone of an experienced person.

Abigail decided not to say anything because their professor was still present. She kept her head down and

continued eating.

Meanwhile, the elderly woman was also looking at Anthony with a smile. “Thomas is still straightforward as ever.

Though, you really should consider it. What do you think of Abigail?”

When Abigail heard her name, she raised her head and looked at Anthony. Meanwhile, Anthony was looking at her

too.

Seeing that she still had her cutlery in her mouth, Anthony smiled since he thought she looked cute. “With how

successful Abigail is, I dare not to think about it. Moreover, today is just a class reunion, not a matchmaking event.

Let’s not make things awkward, shall we, Madam Mora?” After speaking, he lifted his wine glass and gave a toast to

the professor.

Upon hearing his words, Abigail heaved a sigh of relief.

This was precisely the reason many people disliked attending class reunions. After all, one never knew what

outlandish things their classmates might say.

Jennifer took a sip of her wine and smirked seductively. “Speaking of backgrounds, I recall that Abigail only has a

grandmother, and she’s from the countryside, right? If Anthony had chosen Abigail, it would be like a Cinderella

story. Don’t you all agree?”
