Kneeling for a Second Chance (Sebastian and Valeria) novel Chapter 116

116 /212

The private room was bustling with noise and chatter.

Sebastian immediately drew everyone's attention when he appeared. He nodded politely to everyone.

They were having a class reunion that night, which was organized by Chandler and their class monitor.

Even though Class B and Class C were next to each other back then, Sebastian had no memory of these people after so many years. The only one he still remembered was Chandler.

But these people all remembered Sebastian. After all, they were from Nueve High School, and there was no way anyone from their year would forget Sebastian.

Chandler quickly walked over and greeted, "Mr. Grant, you're here. Come take a seat."

Sebastian took a seat on the black leather couch. He had scanned the room the moment he entered, and hadn't seen Valeria. The large private room could accommodate dozens of people. It had card tables and a pool area.

Among the faces of his former schoolmates, Sebastian spotted Salem.

Just thinking about how Jane had once given Salem a love letter made Sebastian's expression sour.

Salem had been on the basketball team. Back at Nueve High School, he had his fair share of fangirls.

Their eyes met, and Salem walked over with a drink in hand. "Mr. Grant, it's been a while."

The Jones family ran an e-commerce business and was the biggest shareholders at an e-commerce center between Slate City and Broburgh City.

Sebastian sat on the couch, stretching his legs onto the footrest with an indifferent expression.

He had no interest in rekindling any past ties with Salem, and Sebastian wasn't one to bother with superficial pleasantries either. He merely nodded at Salem and took a sip of his drink.

Next to him, Mark, who had always been the best at handling social situations, slung an arm around Salem's shoulder and said casually, "You used to be in Class B, right?"

Mark had also attended Nueve High School.

Since they were kids, Mark and Simon had always liked following Sebastian around. But Mark hadn't been a strong student. He merely coasted through school. His family had donated a library to Nueve High School, and he had blended in comfortably with the underperforming students.
