Chapter 447: Chapter 447: The Golden Boy and the Jade Girl, A Naturally Perfect Pair (7)

Edric Reat walked leisurely to that seat, and as he passed some old classmates, he was able to call out their names, shake hands or give a hug to greet them.

When Edric Reat arrived in front of Madeleine, she was holding a glass of alcohol, staring fixedly at Howard Coleman and the woman beside him. Facing Edric’s greeting, she seemed somewhat absent-minded, not even waiting for Edric to finish speaking before drinking the alcohol in her glass.

Edric Reat could only swallow back the words he was about to say, force a smile, and drink his alcohol. He then looked at Ruby Gregory sitting next to Madeleine.

Ruby’s expression was very calm, and when Edric looked at her, she lowered her eyelids in a polite manner and stood up.

Edric Reat held the glass in his palm, stared at Ruby for about three seconds, and then said with the same unchanging smile, “Ruby Gregory, long time no see.”

His tone was very gentle and calm, no different from the greetings he gave to his old classmates just before. It was as if they were old friends who had not seen each other for many years, simply reunited.

Ruby held her glass, trying her best to maintain her composure. The look in her eyes conveyed a distant and polite demeanor, as she said warmly, “Edric Reat, long time no see.”

Following that, the two of them gently clinked their glasses together.

Ruby took a sip of her alcohol and calmly returned to her seat.

Edric Reat, without reluctance, turned around and reached out to Steve Burton, “Steve.”

Steve sat arrogantly on the sofa, with his arms casually crossed over his chest, looking down slightly. After glancing at the hand that Edric Reat stretched out, he then raised his head, stared at Edric’s face for a moment, showing no intention of standing up. Lazily reaching out his hand without saying a word, their handshake appeared rather perfunctory. Shortly after, he quickly released the grip.

Edric Reat didn’t seem bothered by Steve’s coldness and instead sat down beside him just as if nothing had happened.

At the beginning of any class reunion, it is customary to greet everyone first. Since Edric Reat had already greeted half of the people when he returned to his seat, Hillary directly asked Edric to continue greeting the remaining people and toast them before moving on to the others.

Facing so many people’s greetings, Steve always maintained a lukewarm attitude and sat motionless on the sofa.

Some people knew Steve better than others, but everyone was already used to his aloof and cold demeanor, so they didn’t take it to heart.

When it was Steve’s turn, he didn’t actually go up to each person and clink glasses with them like the others did. Instead, he simply and decisively stood up, poured himself a full glass of alcohol, raised it to everyone in the room, and didn’t say anything before drinking it all in one go, as if he was greeting them all at once.

After going around the room and greeting everyone, each person had drunk at least three or four glasses of alcohol. With the help of the alcohol, everyone began to let loose a bit more.

A class reunion is all about eating and drinking, but fortunately, the organizer of this reunion was the idle and dainty madam, Hillary. She had put some thought into it and prepared some entertainment activities.

The so-called entertainment activities were actually drawing lots to perform acts. If one didn’t perform an act, they would be fined three cups of alcohol and be subjected to everyone’s gossip questions.
