She hadn’t anticipated that even after all this time, he could still unsettle her so
effortlessly.
How she wished she could wipe away every memory of their shared past, pretending as
though he were a stranger to her.
There was a moment of silence in the room.
Finally, someone broke the silence, exclaiming, “Lance, you truly returned? I thought it
was just a rumor!”

“Grab a seat over here!”
A woman’s voice echoed from the doorway. “What’s all the chatter about?
I invited Lance. Naturally, he’ll sit beside me, right, Lance?”
The lady emerged next to Lance, gazing up at him affectionately.
Her makeup was impeccable, her ears adorned with oversized hoops, a glitzy necklace
draped around her neck, and cascading wavy hair. Draped in a lavish mink coat, she
radiated affluence.
Everyone looked at the two of them, and someone whistled.
Some shot mischievous glances Bettie’s way.
Elora Kelly, without waiting for Lance’s response, scanned the room.
Her gaze settled on Bettie as she greeted, “Bettie, you actually made it? I expected you to
skip out!”
Both women stood side by side, radiating beauty, but all eyes seemed magnetically drawn
to Bettie.
Without makeup, their beauty might have been evenly matched. However, Bettie’s
expertise as a makeup artist allowed her to highlight her best features, making her stand
out even more.

Bettie’s gaze met Elora’s briefly, her smile not quite reaching her eyes. “You’ve goaded
me a lot in the group chat. Had I not shown up, wouldn’t it seem Like I’m running scared?”
This candid remark Left many around them slightly taken aback.
Few remembered Bettie being this aggressive after all this time.
Back then, the class saw Lance and Elora as the ideal pair; the top student and the runner-
up.
Yet, surprisingly, it was Bettie who caught Lance’s eye.
One of them ranked at the top of the class, while the other was nearly at the bottom.
