By 5:30 PM, Matthew had already made it to the Prosperous Hotel.
He was excited because he would be able to meet Ed very soon.
Initially, Matthew planned to ask Sasha to come along with him. However, there was a board meeting in the company tonight, so Sasha couldn’t make it.
The Prosperous Hotel was considered a pretty decent hotel in Eastcliff.
Leo was a native of Eastcliff and he was from a decently well-off family.
Although they took the vocational pathway, Leo still looked down on the other students who went to the same school.
It was mainly because of his parents’ help that he later got into an undergraduate course and got himself a certificate.
Coupled with some of the wealth from his family, after graduation, he worked at his relatives’ company for two years.
When he was promoted to deputy manager, he became even more arrogant.
He only befriended those who did well in life.
As for people like Matthew, the two never contacted one another.
There was even one time when Leo visited the hospital and saw Matthew there. When he noticed that Matthew was doing the janitor there, he pretended to not see him and simply bypassed him.
And that was why, even though Leo had organized several reunion parties every year, he had never contacted nor invited Matthew.
Today, when Matthew had arrived earlier, Leo was hanging out with some of the classmates inside the room.
Seeing Matthew, Leo was bewildered. “W-Why are you here, Matthew?”
“Isn’t it our class reunion dinner tonight?” questioned Matthew.
“So, I came.”
Instantly, Leo looked at the others. “Which one of you contacted Matthew?”
This woman was Grace Smith. She used to be Leo’s lover when they were in school.
She was once famous for being mean. He didn’t expect that she remained the same even after high school.
Letting out a chuckle, Matthew said, “So it’s just a money issue? It’s okay. This is a happy event. I’ll pay.”
Immediately, Leo twitched his mouth. “Forget it. It’s not like we don’t know about your situation, Matthew. The minimum expenditure for the largest room here is five thousand. You’re only the janitor in the hospital. How many months of salary do you need just to have a meal here?”
The group of people beside him went into an uproar in an instant. “Seriously? Matthew is the janitor in a hospital?”
“Which hospital is that?”
“I thought this kind of job is reserved for elderly women only.”
“You guys didn’t know about that, right?” sneered Leo. “Our handsome Matthew is just a cleaner! It’s not just any floors that he cleans. He cleans the toilet floors!
I saw it with my own eyes the last time I went to the hospital. And I was with a client at that time. When I saw him, I was so embarrassed that I couldn’t even tell anyone that he was my classmate. So, I could only walk past him.”
