Anika went back to work after the weekend.
As the factory renovation of the research and development base was nearly finished.
Jael Miles brought his team to X Province, intending to establish a research lab in the future.
Misty Bridge was the base of the marketing and partnership negotiations for the first batch of sodium hyaluronate products after they went online.
Sara Bradley knocked on the door and walked in just as Anika finished reading Jael's email and considered when she would meet Macy Olson.
"Mr.Miles has already arrived at JH, Ms.Anika.Is your business trip planned for the end of the month or the middle?" Sara asked.
Although Jael had already arrived at JH, she needed to go there.
It's the end of the month, and there's still work to be done.
‘If I go to JH on business, I can start working over time as soon as possible in mid-December” Anika pondered.
Anika thought about this weekend's reunion and put her thoughts aside.
Anika then told Sara, "I'll go over at the end of the month’
Sara nodded, "Alright."
Anika was not the only one who had been working long hours until Friday.
As the end of the year approached, Zac's office-related concerns grew.
The reunion was on a Saturday night, so she didn't work overtime and tried to attend.
Zac had an unavoidable social engagement.
The driver drove Anika to the hotel where the party was held.
Nash, dressed like a rich man in the luxurious private room, had just walked in when he immediately welcomed the teasing of everyone at the dining table.
"Didn't I say, Nash, that we should keep a low profile? The golden chain has been on your neck for years now." C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Marge laughed and teased.
They divided LZ Middle School into two classes: international and college entrance exams.
There are two deans in the school.
The first is an American dean, and the second is a Belgian dean.
The school spirit is not restrictive, and students’ attire is not restricted.
Although there were no key classes in the college entrance examination class, the so-called parallel classes were unique.
There were also five students with the lowest grades in the first class of the top 30 liberal arts students.
The good grades of others could not even compensate for Nash and Tanner's poor grades.
As a result, they were the parallel classes Despite Nash and Tanner's poor grades, the other students lacked arrogant attitudes that distinguished outstanding students.
These two people were always well-liked because they were open-minded and funny.
Marge had no reservations about joking.
Nylah and Wesley, who was standing nearby, teased him as well.
Nash raised his nose and touched his large golden chain.
"You do not know! This is a family heirloom.My dad said it was because of this precious that I could attend university.Even as an entry-level student, I received high marks.’’
Nash and Tanner were reluctant to travel abroad to study, so they transferred into the college entrance examination class.
Their final college entrance examination scores were too low, and their families still sent them abroad for more than a year.
Finally, they received the IELTS entry grades for the school to which they were applying.
Nash referred to this as a "counterattack"
When Marge heard this, she tightened her mouth and said, "Nash, you can bring it down.Look at how exceptional Zac was back then if you want to say counterattack.It shocked him to be admitted to a University."
Although his special abilities enhanced his grades, his grades exceeded 600 (750 was full marks) even without them.
His grades improved by a factor of ten in just one year, and as a result, the teacher labeled him as a role model for junior classmates after graduation.
Grayson Hill's donation of a building forced into Zac Class 1.
Even though he skipped class and fought with others all the time, his memory was excellent.
Zac’s grades were even higher than 500, even though he cheated on the exams.
Grayson Hill did not have a high level of education, but he hoped they would accept Zac at the university that he had always wanted to attend.
Later, Zac fulfilled his wish, and he was so happy that he gave Anika a check right there in the teacher's office.
But Anika did not receive it.
"Hmph, if I had the top student in our class as a desk mate who could help me with my studies, I would not have gone abroad."
Nash was unconvinced.
'Why did he have such a gentle seatmate to assist him with his tutoring?’ he wondered.
However, Nash was envious.
But he didn't dare to compete with Zac for the same table.
‘How unfair fate was to him! '’ he thought.
As soon as Nash finished speaking, someone pushed open the door of the private room.
Anika's slim form appeared at the door.
She recognized each in bewilderment, seeing the familiar faces at the dinner table.
"Sorry, I'm late,’ she said politely.
It had been too long since they last saw each other, so no was in doubt about who she was.
In particular, Anika's current elegant and capable attire was a far cry from her uniform-only appearance in high school.Tanner was the first to react and shouted with a smile, "Alright, say, Speaking of the devil and she shall appear.Our grade number one is here.’
"Anika, please take a seat.Marge and the others have been expecting your arrival."
Tanner asked, "Didn't Zac come with you?" after pointing to the seat.
Anika took a seat next to Marge.
She avoided her gaze and murmured, "He has a brief social engagement.He might return shortly before the end."
"Anika, are you still in contact with Zac?" Nylah asked doubtfully.
Nash said with a smile, "There's more to it than that.They got married"
"Really?" Over one person asked.
Anika did not want to hide anything and nodded generously.
"Yes, we got married."
Everyone was a little surprised.
After all, the two of them didn't have a good relationship.
Their classmates had heard very little about them over the years, so they quickly accepted it.
Nylah muttered, "I didn't expect that.”
Looking at Anika's gaze again, it was as if there was some embarrassment.Anika knew the reason.
In high school, Zac was handsome.
He played sports, and he was usually cold and silent, ignored people.
Many girls liked him, but most of them didn't dare to approach him.
Some girls tried to summon up the courage to give him love letters, but they were all rejected.
Because she was Zac's seaimate, one Valentine's Day, Nylah asked Anika to pass her a love letter.
Zac accepted it in a good mood.
Then, another girl came to look for her.
Anika was busy with her schoolwork and looked on at the love letters filled the table.
In the end, she couldn't help but feel annoyed.
So she piled up the dozens of love letters to Zac while he was practicing late.
As a result, he became so enraged that his face turned green on the spot, and he did not speak to her for several days.
However, Anika focused on her studies, felt that the world was much cleaner without Zac's interruption, and she became even more devoted to her studies.
Zac went back to normal a few days later.
After she had finished reminiscing, Anika couldn't help but laugh.
Then she noticed someone and raised her head to meet its gaze.
Not far away, someone is staring at her with a perplexed expression.
Demi was the one who had transferred to another school.
Her appearance had changed significantly, so it took some time to recognize her.
She didn't think that Demi would also come to the reunion.
Tanner had reserved the hotel, and there was a ready-made table and game area in the luxurious private room.
They exchanged greetings as they ate.
They were almost stuffed after a while.
Tanner beckoned for someone to join him at the long card table beside him after finishing his meal.
Marge motioned for Anika to come over, but Anika noticed Nylah, who had already sat at the card table, staring at her awkwardly.
She declined the invitation, stating that she needed to get some fresh air first.
Anika stood in front of the corridor window and enjoyed the breeze as she walked out of the well- heated private room.
Then she took out her phone and texted Zac, asking if the wine shop was closed and when he would come over.
Anika turned around and was about to go back because she felt they were almost done playing.
When she saw Demi, who pushed the door open at the private room door.
"Do you have time to talk, Anika?"
Demi pursed her lips and smiled at her after she finished speaking.
Anika looked at Demi, who had changed her red hair and was looked calmer.
She didn't say anything and didn't make any comments.
"I heard you were going to come.I came here today specifically to look for you.I'm deeply sorry for the harm my childish and immature actions caused you back then.I know what I did was wrong, and I don't expect forgiveness.I just wanted to express my regrets."
Demi's tone was sincere, her expression sincere, and then she bowed deeply to Anika.
"Also, now I'm a teacher, '' she added after straightening up.Anika's eyes widened in surprise.Anika's eyes widened as she realized what was going on.
"Who would have guessed?"
Demi said with a smile, "The kids are adorable.I also hope to help them when I meet another student like myself”
