Chapter 421
The location was set in the Shengville Hotel, but Kayson did not keep Jonathan informed. After all, it
was Queenieâs event.
There were already a few people in the room of both genders.
"Yikes, isn't that the most beautiful girl in our class, Queenie?â
A fairly pretty woman greeted smilingly. Queenie looked toward the person and said politely, âIt's
been a long time since we last met, Wendy.â
Wendy smiled and said, âIt has been a long time indeed. I heard that you're an administrator in a
rather impressive company, right? Queenie forced a smile. âI've already quit my job.â Wendy asked
in astonishment, âWhy did you quit your job out of nowhere?â Queenie did not feel like elaborating
further, so Wendy shifted her attention to Kayson.â Who's this?â Queenie said, âThis is my boyfriend,
Kayson Yarde.â
âAh!
Wendy sized up Kayson but did not seem too interested because she could tell at one glance that
Kayson was not a rich kid. Even though Kayson was wearing a suit, it was not of a luxury brand.
It did not take long before a few high school friends arrived as well. Queenie seemed to have a
closer relationship with a woman named Faye Little. Faye asked, âQueeny, what does your boyfriend
do?â âHe's a small team leader in charge of his companyâs construction projects.â Queenie asked,
âFaye, I believe that the reunion tonight is organized by Zayn, right?â Faye nodded. âYes, why?"
Queenie said with a bitter smile, âI would like him to help me get a job.â
Faye was momentarily stunned. She then said in a pessimistic manner, âThat's difficult. It would
probably be better if you were single, but you have a boyfriend...â
As she was speaking, a hearty burst of laughter echoed. Then, a young man walked into the room.
It was precisely Zayn York mentioned by them. He was the organizer of tonight's event. âI'm sorry
that I'm late, everyone. I had some matters to attend to!â Zayn invited everyone to take a seat and
looked toward Queenie, âIt has been a long time since we last met, Queenie!â Queenie smiled shyly.
âIt's been long,â
Zayn took a glance without changing his expression. âThis is?â
Queenie explained, âThis is my boyfriend, Kayson Yarde.â The corner of Zayn's eyes twitched, and his
gaze turned colder at once. âQueenie, you're the only one with a partner tonight here. You're going
to have to punish yourself by taking three shots!â Queenie nodded. âSure thing, sure thing!â Zayn
ordered the meals to be served as he spoke and made Queenie take the shots. Queenie did not
reject, but her breathing quickened after taking three shots. Even though Kayson did not speak, he
was observing all this time and noticed that Zayn was casting a look at Wendy.
Then, Wendy was constantly looking for opportunities to get Queenie to drink more and invited the
other friends to join in to get Queenie drunk
Kayson had already figured out Queenieâs plan. âWhy do you have to do this? If you need a job, isn't
it easier for you to reach out to me rather than seeking the help of these so-called friends from high
school? âIf it's still no use, you can get Yulene to help and solve the matter easily.â âHey, don't drink
anymore.â Kayson took the glass from Queenieâs hand. Zayn pulled a long face instantly and
scolded, âWe haven't seen each other since high school. What's wrong with having a few drinks?
Queenie hasn't even turned us down, so why are you so agitated?â Queenie sobered up
substantially at once and said hastily, âKayson is a hot-tempered person. Please don't mind himn!â
She pushed Kayson back to his seat and looked at him with a pleading gaze. Kayson furrowed his
eyebrows because he could not figure out what she was thinking. Zayn said in a displeased tone,
"Queenie, you're going to have to take three more shots as punishment!â
