Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) -
Chapter 485
Everyone burst into laughter at once.
Throwing Matthew a single glance, Grace inquired, "Is our class monitor telling the truth, Matthew? Are you really a janitor? We're all classmates from the same batch. Why is your life so tough? It's one thing to be a janitor, but how did you end up cleaning toilets? Can you please save face for your classmates?"
Knitting his brows, Matthew muttered, "It's still a job though. I didn't steal or rob and made money with my own two hands. Is that something I should be ashamed of?"
"If you're going to live like this, it would be better if you steal or rob!" snorted Grace.
Another male classmate instantly mocked, "Hey! What happens if Elaine replaces out that Matthew is cleaning toilets at a hospital now? Do you guys remember? Back in the days, Matthew had a crush on our class belle, Elaine.
There was once when Matthew posted the love letter he wrote to her on the blackboard. It was so funny! But, look at him now. Fortunately, Elaine isn't blind when it comes to men."
With a hearty laugh, Grace went on, "Seriously, Elaine is very unfortunate though. As the class belle, she was fancied by someone like Matthew. Imagine how disgusting it would have been for her." The crowd cracked up again.
His expression turning cloudy, Matthew said in a solemn tone, "Guys, I'm just here to attend the reunion dinner. Do you guys really have to taunt me like that?"
"Hey, Matthew. We're classmates. Can't you see that we're just joking? Why are you getting anxious?" Leo waved his hand dismissively.
"Well. Since you're here already, just take a seat first. It isn't a big deal if we have to squeeze with each other. But, I need to tell you in advance. We will be sharing the expenses equally tonight. No matter how much we spend tonight, you'll need to contribute equally. Do you understand?"
Glaring at Matthew, Grace warned, "You better think carefully, Matthew. Our class monitor is entertaining a guest tonight and he purposely bought a few bottles of good wine. The drinks alone cost more than one thousand. Everyone will have to pay at least a thousand in total. You cannot ask us to back you up if you replace yourself short of money!"
Matthew scowled in response. "Don't worry. I'll make sure I pay every cent I owe!"
"That's more like it!" sneered Leo.
"Come and take a seat then."
Marching inside, Matthew prepared to move to the innermost side of the room.
However, Leo beckoned at him and demanded, "Where are you going? Go sit by the door! These seats are reserved. Find your own place!"
Matthew's brows knitted upon hearing that. In the end, instead of saying something, he went and took a seat by the door.
Honestly, a seat like this was usually intended for someone who was paying the bill, or someone with the lowest status in the group. And it was obvious that in the eyes of Leo, Matthew was that someone with the lowest status.
Instead of bothering with Matthew, Leo and the others continued to talk.
"Leo, I heard that you're now the managing director in the company?"
"Wow! You got promoted really quickly!"
"When do you think I can join you? The company I'm working for has got no future at all!" Leaning against Leo, Grace said sweetly.
Wrapping his hand around her, Leo guffawed. "No problem. Tell you what. If tonight's reunion party is successful, don't mention joining my company-I can promote you to be a manager right away!" Everyone was shocked. "What's happening?"
"What are you trying to do, Leo?"
With a superior smile, Leo continued, "I have invited a VIP guest tonight. Our company wants to cooperate with this guest, and if I can seal the deal, huh, it would be a project of tens of millions. By then, I'll become the most powerful person in the company!"
