Chapter 143 A Perfect Match

“Are you interviewing him now, Michelle? Stop with all the questions, and let’s have dinner instead!”

Yolanda hastily said to Michelle to save Hilda from the embarrassment.

Alas, Michelle remained persistent. Staring at Hilda, who wore a conflicted expression, she continued

asking, “Hilda, is your boyfriend’s former profession a secret? Is it something you can’t say, such as him

having been to prison?”

This time, she made things clear without beating around the bush any longer.

When Hilda heard that, surprise promptly crept into her features. I’ve never told anyone about that. How

could she possibly know about it?

She then shifted her gaze to Yolanda as the latter had just learned that Jared had been to prison last

night.

Yolanda, too, had surprise etched on her face. In the end, she swung her eyes to Yvonne with fury

blazing in them. “Was it you who spouted that nonsense, Yvonne?”

I told her about it last night, and Michelle now knows about it, so it must have been her who spilled the

beans!

“How is that spouting nonsense, Yolanda? I was just stating the facts!”

Yvonne didn’t bother making excuses but admitted to it right away. That had Yolanda hopping mad, but

she was also worried at the same time since Yvonne was also aware of her being an escort.

If she were to let the cat out of the bag now, I’m never going to be able to hold my head up in public!

Afraid that Yvonne would also blab about her if angered, she didn’t comment further.

“It’s nothing embarrassing that your boyfriend had been to prison, Hilda. Why were you unwilling to tell us

about it? We won’t discriminate against him. Your current status makes you a perfect match with him.

One is an exotic dancer, while the other is an ex-convict. That’s a match made in heaven!”

“Haha…”

After Michelle said that, everyone burst into raucous laughter, the undisguised scorn in their eyes shining

brightly.

Hilda’s face flushed bright red. She hadn’t wanted to come in the first place because she knew that she’d

definitely be treated with contempt if she attended the class reunion. Now that things had come to that,

she hadn’t the courage to stay anymore.

Hilda stood up to leave, but Jared grabbed her arm. “Why are you leaving when we haven’t even eaten,

Hilda? Let’s eat first.”

“Exactly! Why are you getting all up in arms when I was just joking with you? Look at how open-minded

your boyfriend is. This is Glamor Hotel, you know? If it weren’t for this class reunion, I’m afraid that you

wouldn’t be able to afford dining here even if you worked for your entire life! If you’re worried that you

can’t afford to pay your share, just say the word. Eighty or a hundred thousand is nothing to me,”

Michelle proclaimed with a mocking expression on her face.

Since she had said as much, Hilda could no longer leave. If I stalk off now, it’ll only prove that I’m taking

off because I’m worried about spending money!

“No, it’s okay. We have that much at least,” Jared chimed in smilingly.

“All right, then. I won’t worry anymore since you’ve got money. I was really afraid that someone would run

off without paying after the meal later. If that were to happen, it’d be wholly embarrassing!” Michelle

exclaimed before turning to Lincoln. “Lincoln, didn’t you say that you ordered beforehand? Have them

serve the food, then.”

With a smirk, Lincoln replied, “Sure! This time, I decided on a feast worth fifty-eight thousand and eight

hundred, exclusive of drinks. I brought my own Sauvignon Blanc, so we’ll be spending around eight to

ten thousand per person. I’ll have them serve the food right away.”

After saying that, he made a call. In no time, the private room door was pushed open, and the server

brought in exquisite dishes, one after another.

However, none of the people in the room showed a hint of joy at the tableful of food. After all, they had all

just started working, and many of them hadn’t any savings. Thus, having a meal that cost eight to ten

thousand was distressing since they hadn’t that much money.
