Chapter 108
Wendy suspiciously said “Why didn’t you mention the party when you left the dorm today? Usually, if your boyfriend takes you to a banquet you’d be eager to let us know.”
“It happened suddenly, and you didn’t tell me either.” Shelia said with a forced smile. “How come you guys are here?”
“What only your boyfriend can attend such occasions, but my parents can’t?” Carrie sneered.
Their family backgrounds far exceeded Shelia’s.
Shelia bit her lip. That’s not what I meant.”
Carrie pressed, “Well then, you’ve been wanting to introduce your boyfriend to us, right? Since we’re all here, why not let us meet him?
Wendy echoed, ‘Yeah, isn’t your boyfriend in business too? He looks like a bigshot. I can ask my parents to invest in his company.
Shelia looked troubled. “My boyfriend never lets me get involved in his business.”
‘Come on, your boyfriend sponsors your education, right? And he wants to send you abroad for studies. Every time he goes to a banquet, he takes you along. How could he not let you get Involved?‘ Carrie taunted, ‘Or maybe you just don’t want to introduce him to us?”
“No.” Shelia bit her lip. “‘ll talk to him, but whether he agrees or not
ends on him.”
That’s fair. Go on then. We’ll wait in the lobby,” Wendy said.

Carrie and Wendy exchanged a glance. They weren’t as easily fooled as before.
Shelia nervously returned to Juan’s side. He asked, “Why did it take so long?”
“I met two classmates. They want me to introduce them to you and talk business with their parents.”
Juan frowned, his expression speaking volumes.
Joe interjected, “Miss Miles, I presume you know about Mr. Nichols. ‘status.”
Juan was the bellwether of businessmen in Seamar City. Not everyone deserved a meeting with him, let alone discussing business.
Shelia realized the mistake in her proposal.
“I know. I’ll go talk to them,” she hurriedly said.
When Juan wasn’t paying attention, she heaved a sigh of relief.
She apologized to Carrie and Wendy. Wendy scoffed, “Is that your boyfriend’s attitude? Does he think he’s some bigshot?”
“Yeah, our families got invitations, showing our strength!” Carrie echoed with disdain.
Shelia felt uneasy, afraid their voices would reach Juan’s ears.
Little did they know, they were talking about a prominent figure.
Just then, the door opened again. Debra and Erica entered hand in hand, followed by Randy and Marion. Instantly, all eyes turned to
them.

Carrie furrowed her brow. “Why is she even allowed here?”
Wendy glanced at Shelia, who looked pale and shaky.
Shelia was surprised by Debra’s arrival.
