Chapter 189
When Leonard and Flora returned to Oscar’s house, Willie was also back.
Oscar wanted to prepare a meal himself to entertain Leonard and others.
Willie proposed to go to a restaurant downtown for dinner.
After all, Oscar spent his whole life in the village and had never had a meal downtown.
Leonard agreed with Willie.
So they drove directly downtown with Oscar.
When they passed by the village entrance, the Mercedes-Benz was no longer there, which meant that Alyssa and Isaac had probably left.
Oasis Hotel was the most upscale hotel in the entire town.
It looked magnificent from the outside. It was located in the easternmost part of the town and occupied a vast area.
Today, the large box on the third floor of the Oasis Hotel was reserved. The people who came to the banquet were all
classmates from the same village. It was a small gathering.
After Alyssa returned from the village, she came to the box with Isaac.
In the box, a large table could seat more than a dozen people. Since the food had not been served yet, they were chatting in low voices.
When Alyssa walked in, everyone stood up one after another.
As one of the famous school belles at the time, Alyssa naturally attracted everyone’s attention.
Isaac was now the manager of the hotel. He was the most successful one compared to others, so he was quite prominent.
“Isaac is young and promising. We are pale in comparison with Isaac. Alyssa still has better vision.”
“Alyssa has been with Isaac since she was still in school. They are a perfect match…
In the innermost seat, a fashionably dressed woman looked curiously at her boyfriend next to her.
Her boyfriend said softly, “Isaac is Alyssa’s husband, the general manager of the Oasis Hotel. Isaac used to be quite popular in
school. Now he is the general manager with
a monthly salary of more than 20 thousand dollars. We can only look up to him.”
The woman exclaimed, “He is impressive!”
Isaac and Alyssa sat down, and there were compliments in the box.
Alyssa suddenly spoke, “By the way, I just returned to the village. Guess who I saw?”
Everyone else looked curious.
“It’s Leonard. He’s back, too. I forgot to invite him. Today is a small gathering of friends in our village.”
“Really?”
“Leonard used to be the best student in our village. I heard he was sent to prison two years ago.”
There were sighs in the box. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
After Leonard and Willie parked the car, they went to a box and sat down.
Oscar, who had never even been to a large hotel in his life, looked at the splendid hotel and found it eye-opening.
Oscar called his son, Ryan Santos, who was running a transportation service, and asked him over.
After lunch, it was already two o’clock in the afternoon. Unfortunately, it started drizzling outside, giving a slight chill in the air.
Ryan said that he happened to be going back to the village, so he could send Oscar back and didn’t need Leonard and the others to drive Oscar back.
Ryan was also emotional when he learned that Leonard was now the boss of a
company.
Leonard handed Ryan a business card and told him to call if necessary.
Leonard reached the gate of the hotel. Because it was drizzling, Rex went to drive the car over, and Leonard was waiting at the gate.
Willie didn’t have a driver, so he had to ask Kenia to drive the car.
After drinking a lot of wine, Willie put his arm around Oscar’s shoulders and talked about the unfinished topic during the dinner.
“Hey, isn’t this Leonard?”
A loud sound came from behind.
Alyssa, Isaac, and a group of young people, who had drunk a lot, walked over
arm-in-arm.
After seeing Leonard, they all showed surprised expressions.
After all, it cost a lot for a meal at the Oasis Hotel. In their opinion, Leonard, a young man who had just been released from prison, shouldn’t have been here.
Alyssa explained, “A few friends from our village are gathering together. Since we didn’t have your phone number, we couldn’t notify you.”
Isaac said proudly, “Which box are you in? I can give you a 10% discount.”
“No need.” Leonard smiled. “We have
already settled the bill.”
“Well, you should mention Isaac’s name when you come next time,” Alyssa said with a smile.
Because it was raining, several young people from the village began to discuss. how to leave.
Some people drove here, and some came by taxi. It was raining now, so it was hard to get a taxi.
Isaac said, “How about this? Let’s stick to the original plan. I’ll drive the remaining three people to the bus station.”
“That’s great. Isaac, we can ride in your Mercedes-Benz,” someone said jokingly.
Isaac called a waiter from the side, handed him the key, and asked him to drive his car
over.
Alyssa asked, “Leonard, how do you plan to leave?”
“My car is parked in the parking lot, and the driver went to get the car.”
“What?”
Alyssa was slightly stunned.
At the same time, Leonard noticed that the surrounding voices all became lower.
Everyone looked at him in confusion, not understanding the situation.
They thought it was already remarkable that Leonard had a car. Unexpectedly, he even had a driver.
At that time, a five-series BMW stopped at the gate, and the car window rolled down.
Kenia said to Willie and the others, “Dad, get into the car.”
“Is this the driver you’re talking about?”
Some people couldn’t help but laugh out loud. They were all from the same village.
Naturally, they knew that Kenia was
Leonard’s cousin, thinking Leonard’s lie was immediately exposed.
“Leonard wasn’t so vain before. He used to have a crush on Alyssa, but now he probably doesn’t want to be inferior in front of Isaac.”
Those from the same village shook their heads.
Even Alyssa let out a sigh.
She thought, ‘Leonard used to be very dazzling because he had a good academic performance.
But now it seems that everyone has their own fate.’
“Of course, she is not my driver. My driver will be here soon,” Leonard said.
“Stop pretending. We are all from the same village. We all know that you have been released from prison not long ago. There is no need to lie to us.”
A drunk man came over and patted Leonard on the shoulder.
Leonard just smiled and said nothing.
One minute later, a light was on. It was the car’s fog light shining through the rain
curtain.
Everyone was attracted by the light.
A dark Rolls-Royce elegantly slid through the rain, silently appearing.
The raindrops fell on the car, giving it a psychedelic feel under the light.
The Rolls-Royce in the rain was like a king, proudly displaying its elegance.
Many people’s eyes lit up.
“This car costs more than one million dollars.”
“The license plate is from Newden, so it shouldn’t be a wealthy person in our town.”
Everyone started whispering.
Someone joked, “Isaac, when will you buy Alyssa a car like this?”
Isaac smiled confidently. “I will do it one day.”
Hearing this, Alyssa couldn’t help but hold Isaac’s arm.
The strong and confident man exuded a charm at that moment, which fascinated her.
The door of the car opened. A black
umbrella was held up, and Rex got out of the car, came directly to Leonard, and said respectfully, “Please get in the car!”
