The venue was relatively crowded, so Spencer took Charlize’s hand and turned around to leave
immediately.
As they reached the entrance, they bumped into one of their university’s administrators.
Upon seeing the couple holding hands, the school secretary, Josiah Zellner, was taken aback but
quickly composed himself. He smiled at Spencer and said, “Spencer, you haven’t returned to the
university in a long time. The principal asked about you a few times. Why don’t you stay for lunch with
us later?”
“Charlize isn’t feeling well. I appreciate the kind offer, but I’m afraid I’ll have to decline,” Spencer replied
magnanimously, leaving Josiah little room to argue.
Others might not be aware of Charlize’s ties with the Johnson family, but Josiah knew it very well. If
Spencer married her, his future would be even more promising than it already was.
Since Spencer had mentioned Charlize was feeling under the weather, Josiah didn’t feel it appropriate
to insist as that would only make things awkward.
He smiled and briefly expressed his concern before letting them leave, only asking that they visit the
university more often.
Spencer responded courteously and then led Charlize away from the venue.
He had never enjoyed those so-called gatherings. The only reason he was there that day was to let
everyone know about his relationship with Charlize.
When Charlize first entered the university, she was admired by many boys. During her senior year,
Spencer had to cover a class for a lecturer. Once, a few boys were making noise in the back of the
class, so he held them back after the lesson ended.
Only upon further inquiry did he find out why those boys were so excited. It turned out that one of their
dorm mates wanted to confess his feelings to Charlize.
That boy was handsome, and Spencer had seen girls confessing to him on several occasions.
Moreover, judging by his attire, his family seemed well-off.
There were plenty of outstanding boys like him who had a crush on Charlize back then in the university.
On the day of Charlize’s graduation ceremony, Spencer deliberately ended a meeting early to see her
taking graduation photos.
He sat inside his car and saw over ten bouquets of fresh flowers placed in her temporary locker, all of
which were gifted to her by boys.
A card was attached to each bouquet, and Spencer didn’t even need to read them to know the content.
He had witnessed Charlize being confessed to several times in the university.
Even after graduation, he occasionally heard her name being mentioned in a conversation with his ex-
classmates. All of them were curious about where she was working. Now that they were considered
successful men, they wanted to pursue her again.
Seeing so many people coveting Charlize, Spencer couldn’t stand by and do nothing.
Many people returned that day to attend the university’s anniversary celebration. He had openly
showed up at and left the venue hand-in-hand with Charlize, so he reckoned anyone with a sane mind
should be able to figure out his relationship with her.
As they walked further away, Charlize brought up what had happened earlier. “Why did you suddenly
want to attend our class reunion?”
Whether as a substitute lecturer, a senior, or her boyfriend, he could legitimately participate in their
class reunion.
Marcelo and Rorion’s invitation wasn’t just a casual or courteous offer.
However, Charlize didn’t expect Spencer, who generally didn’t like to attend gatherings and social
events, to agree with such alacrity.
In truth, she didn’t want to attend the reunion at all.
Charlize wasn’t a fool. She was well aware of her classmates’ characters.
Even before graduation, they were already secretly competing against each other, and she anticipated
it to be worse after graduation.
Born in the Johnson family, she was never fond of competing with others. Therefore, whenever she
was included in her classmates’ comparative discussions during her university years, Charlize was
actually very displeased.
Therefore, she had no desire to participate in the so-called reunion just to listen to them compare their
achievements. There was even a chance of her getting dragged into their argument.
However, before she could voice her refusal, Spencer had already committed to attending, and she had
no choice but to leave with him.
He glanced at her, asking softly, “Isn’t it your class reunion?”
“That’s right, but these reunions are the most pointless,” Charlize muttered, biting her lip.
Unexpectedly, Spencer asked her a question that took her by surprise, “When are you planning to
make our relationship public?”
Charlize was stunned after hearing that. “H-Haven’t we already made it public?”
“Your relationship status on social media still appears to be single.”
Charlize felt a little guilty under his watchful gaze. She hadn’t posted about their relationship on social
media for two reasons. Firstly, they hadn’t been together long, and flaunting their relationship so soon
didn’t seem right. Secondly, they had too many mutual friends and acquaintances on their social media,
so she was too self-conscious to make that sudden announcement.
“Wouldn’t that be too high-profile?” she asked. We’ve only been together for just over two months. Is it
already time to make an official announcement on our social media?
“That’s why we should start by letting your university friends know. That’ll save us from shocking them
with our wedding invitations later,” he uttered those words without any visible changes on his
countenance.
In contrast, the word “wedding” reverberated in Charlize’s mind, and her face instantly flushed as she
stared at Spencer. W-Why are we already discussing marriage so soon?
Taking in her dumbstruck demeanor, Spencer arched his brow. “What’s the matter? Do you not want to
marry me?”
“No, that’s not it!” she blurted out and immediately felt so embarrassed that she couldn’t bring herself to
meet Spencer’s eyes.
She hung her head and attempted to steer the conversation back in the correct direction. “You’re right.”
His eyes gleamed as he looked at her reddened earlobes. “What would you like to have for lunch?”
Relieved at the change in subject, Charlize pondered briefly and said, “I feel like having some Epean
food.”
“Okay,” Spencer replied, opening the car door for her to get in.
At that moment, not far away, Jacqueline, who had just arrived at the university, nudged the woman
next to her. “Isn’t that Charlize over there?”
Katrina Lister looked up, shifting her gaze in the direction Jacqueline was pointing, and vaguely saw a
familiar face through the window of the car, which was gradually moving away. “It seems so.”
Sizing up the vehicle, Katrina curled her lips into a meaningful smile. “That car is quite costly. It appears
Charlize has done well for herself after graduation.”
Jacqueline fathomed what Katrina was implying and chuckled. “She’s been good at such tricks since
back then, after all.”
The duo walked inward, giggling and speculating whether Charlize would show up at the class reunion
later that evening.
