Chapter 28 - Chapter XXVIII

Julie Tan had just entered I's Coffee House to meet and catch up with her friends when her line of sight caught up a group of people on one table. She was about to approached and greet them as they were her upper class seniors during her college, more exactly as she was still a freshman when their batch were graduating. If not to the point that they were all succesful in their selected fields and were quite famous and powerful in City I, she wouldn't have to felt obliged to greet them.

Julie must admit that she, after almost five years, still hold grudges to them, much especially to the quite popular Veronica Wang. But thinking of what happened to her and her family five years ago made Julie felt better.

Veronic Wang. Julie could still remember the "know-it-all" senior who humiliated her once during their descipline's initiation rites. And she believed that she will hold unto her grudge for that woman unless if she someday, would also be able to humiliate her in front of the elites, this time.

Julie was near that group group when a red haired woman caught her sight. She suddenly stopped on her track and her eyes widened after distinguishing the woman. 'It's her! Veronica Wang!'

Julie couldn't understand but her blood instantly boiled after seeing Veronica Wang after do many years. She was even more beautiful and hadn't seemed to aged after all those years. And her colour red hair enhanced her unique features making her even more strikingly beautiful. One of the few things she hated about her. Her unique yet very beautiful face.

Julie Tan's breath hitched after Veronica looked at her direction and their eyes met. Julie can't help it but her hate for Veronica Wang risen up to another degree for no reason at all. She knew that the initiation rite incident was not a rational reason for her to be this loathesome of Veronica but she couldn't help it. She just naturally tend to hate her.

Seeing as Veronica seemed to have pointed her to her friends, they all looked at her. Julie Tan was left with no choice but to come near them and introduced herself. Even behind the fact that her family, much her father is another figure with enough power, but her seniors families and them individually were also powerful figures with much influences in City I. 'They could have been my friends, no!..I should be on Veronica Wang's place instead being acquainted with these powerful figures.' Julie Tan thought bitterly.

As she was steps near their table, Julie Tan clothed her face with the most kindest one she could make.

'Good afternoon Seniors! It was very pleasant having to crossed your path in this coffee house!' Julie smiled sweetly.

'Oh, Julie! How are you doing?' Pearl kindly replied although she herself was not really closed, neither the rest of them, to the young woman. All they knew was the fact that she's a freshman during their graduating year and an unica hija of City I's Mayor.

The short pleasantries ended and Julie walked away seething with anger as the woman, Veronica Wang humiliated her once again by not remembering her as a fresman during college. All she did was to give a surprised look and only recognized her as someone related to the current Mayor of City I because of the simliraty in the family name! How dare she! She's not only the daughter of the City I Mayor but also, after five years, she's a graduate of Political Science herself and was now almost finishing her master degree.

She, Julie Tan, was not just a politician's daughter but a very highly accomplished, independent and professional woman as well. Julie decided to relax herself and smiled thinking about the man that will visit their home later tonight for dinner as per invitation of her father, the City I's current Mayor, and of course, as per her request. Veronica Wang?! Who the hell is she?! She's now a nobody trying to sucked up on her very influential and powerful friends. How about her? Julie Tan?! A master in Political Science and the future wife of Rawlf Sy, the most powerful figure in Country P. To marry him is also to be like a first lady of Country P. Being a socialite herself, Julie Tan is very much aware of the fact that it is Rawlf Sy who controlled the politics and economy of the whole Country P.

And Julie Tan couldn't hide her intense excitement just thinking of being the future Mrs. Sy.
