    Chapter 97 High School ssmates


    Heather was tired after spending the whole day at the yground, so she wanted to head home.


    Alex saw that Stanley was exhausted too, so he agreed to go back.


    Alex didn’t want to cook today, so he brought Heather and Stanley to a restaurant.


    “Heather!”


    As they walked to their booth, they heard ady calling after Heather.


    Heather turned around and was surprised at who she saw—Ginny York.


    “Ginny, didn’t expect to see you here,” Heather said as she took a look at the man sitting beside Ginny.


    The man wasn’t very handsome, but he looked smart and intelligent.


    “He’s Harry, my boyfriend. Harry, she’s my friend from high school, Heather, and this is her husband


    Alex,” Ginny introduced everyone.


    “Nice to meet you.” Harry shook hands with Alex, but he didn’t want to continue the conversation


    because Alex was dressed casually.

    “Nice to meet you.” Alex smiled subtly and retracted his hand when he saw that Harry wasn’t interested


    in having a conversation with him.


    However, when Harry shook Heather’s hands, his eyes lit up in admiration. It was evident that her


    beauty naturally drew the attention of everyone.


    “Heather, why don’t you can join us. Mr. Larson isingter too,” Ginny suggested.


    “Mr. Larson? The Section Chief, Wade Larson?” Heather asked.


    “Yeah. He’s really sessful in his career, being the Section Chief of the Bureau of Commerce and


    Industry right now while his uncle is the deputy chief. More importantly, we haven’t seen each other in a


    long time, so we can catch up with each other.”


    While Ginny said that, she took a look at Alex with a mocking glint in her eyes.


    Wade courted Heather persistently during high school, so I’m curious as to what will happen when they


    meetter.


    “Alright. We’ll join you then.” Heather nodded and sat down beside Ginny.


    Incidentally, Heather needed to take care of some business in the Bureau of Commerce and Industry,


    so it would be great if she could ask for Wade’s help to sort things out.


    On the other hand, Alex had no choice but to sit down with their son when he saw Heather doing the


    same.


    It’s just a meal anyway. He didn’t think much about it.


    “Heather, what do you do?” Harry asked suddenly.


    “The Jennings Corporation,” Heather smiled and replied.


    “What a coincidence!” Harry eximed in surprise.


    “Are you from there as well? Which department are you at?” Heather stared at Harry in surprise


    because she never thought that he would be just an ordinary worker.


    The reason why she thought that way was because the only employees she wasn’t familiar with were


    the ordinary workers.


    “No. Harry has a business management degree from Oxford, so how could he even work in a small


    company like yours?” Ginny said smugly.


    What she really meant was that her boyfriend was exceptionally talented, so he couldn’t care less


    about a smallpany like Heather’s. With that sentence, she implicitly belittled Heather.


    Graduates from normal colleges like you can only work in smallpanies like the Jennings


    Corporation.


    Heather understood what Ginny implied, but she only smiled in response.


    Even without Ginny’s ridicule, Heather knew that the Jennings Corporation was in hot water right now.


    61% of its shares were already acquired by the Four Seas Corporation, so she could no longer be in


    control of thepany anymore.


    “I applied for the vice manager position in the Project Management Department and I was only


    epted yesterday. I heard that the Jennings Corporation was acquired by the Four Seas Corporation,


    so…” Harry exined.


    He just wanted to build some rapport with Heather, but he never thought that Ginny would misinterpret


    his intentions.


    “Haha. We can be considered colleagues now.” Heather shed a slight smile.


    Harry chuckled a little before continuing, “The Four Seas Corporation’s boss really is wealthy. I heard


    that he is going to invest at least ten billion to poach loyal customers from its three otherpetitors.


    Ginny, you’re going to the interview tomorrow, right? I hope you can make it.”


    “Are you underestimating me? I’m more than capable to be the Director’s secretary!” Ginny cocked her


    eyebrows proudly.


    Meanwhile, Alex took a look at Ginny as he remained silent.
