her gut reaction was to skedaddle.

Nowadays, the moment Julie heard Kieran’s name,

“Sorry, Porter, Daphne and I have something to attend to, we’re gonna bounce” Julie forced a smile,

grabbed Daphne, and was ready to split the scene. But just then, behind her came the confident voice

of Raul, the law school professor, “Julie? Running away as soon as you see me? Are you afraid I might

eat you?”

Raul, in his sixties, looked at Julie with kindly eyes. She had no choice but to turn around and face the

music. But what she didn’t expect was that standing next to Raul was the dean, and… Kieran.

He was wearing a dark gray suit, a white shirt paired with a blue–grey striped tie, formal and elegant.

He stood amongst a group of leaders, radiating brilliance, calmly chatting with the dean.

Seemed like she was not getting off the hook today. Because Raul was already pointing at her,

laughing as he said to Kieran, “Kieran, this is Joyce, who was head over heels for you, remember?”

Back then, Julie’s pursuit of Kieran was indeed crazy, like she would do anything for Kieran, just

unstoppable.

When Raul brought this up. Porter immediately chimed in, “Yeah, at that time Kieran said, if Julie could

jump off the top of the school building, he would be her boyfriend. Julie was really determined back

then, she even hired a professional parachuting team to perform a stunt at our school during summer

break, which was way higher than the school building.”

Back then, her family hadn’t gone bankrupt yet, Julie was the pampered princess of the family, and

didn’t worry about any life issues. Her biggest goal in life was to chase after Kieran

Bringing up such past memories, Julie now felt that she was really bold back then. How did she

manage to not care about her image?

Even the dean enjoyed reminiscing about the past. “Thanks to Julie’s leap, it made social media news

and gave our law school a big shout–out!” Many students gathered around, originally drawn by Kieran’s

popularity and good looks, but ended up being attracted by Julie’s glorious deeds. All of them threw

admiring glances at Julie.

Daphne knitted her brows, laughed at the dean, and as if to protect Julie, said, “That’s water under the

bridge! Please don’t bring it up again, Julie will be embarrassed. She was just a naive kid back then!”

While saying this, Daphne gave Kieran a meaningful glance.

The dean and Raul both burst into laughter. Many old classmates gathered around after the scene, all

starting to laugh and reminisce about the past.

Porter stood up and said, “It’s chow time, I’ve already booked a table at a restaurant, my treat. We can

chat while we eat, sound good?”

Everyone agreed to his suggestion.

Viviana, a long–lost classmate, walked up to Porter, smiled at Julie, and said, “We haven’t seen each

other for years, I haven’t heard from you since we graduated. We have to catch up on what you’ve

been doing these years!”

Viviana, Daphne, and Julie used to share a dorm. But during school, Julie rarely went back to the dorm.

She didn’t spend much time with Viviana, but Julie knew Viviana and Porter often bickered with each

other. But surprisingly, Viviana ended up marrying her least favorite, Porter, and they seemed quite

happy

Julie thought Kieran would be too busy to attend the lunch gathering, so she agreed. The dean and

Raul had other things to deal with, so they declined Porter’s invitation and left.

Julie thought Kieran would do the same. But to her surprise, Porter enthusiastically said to Kieran, “Mr.

Hernandez, could you join us for lunch? Although you’re not a graduate of our law school, you are an

outstanding student of Futuro Business College, and you aced your degree at our university, everyone

knows about this!”

Julie instinctively looked at Porter and chuckled. “Mr. Hernandez is so busy, he probably doesn’t have

the time…”

“Thank you for your kind offer, how about this, I’ll pick up the tab for this meal, how does that sound?”

Kieran softly laughed.

Porter was taken aback for a moment, then immediately responded with a smile, “No problem, it’s all

the same, Mr. Hernandez, right this way.”
