She then saw a tall, thin man. That was Zach Hou, also known as "Monkey". Like the other guy, he was also Ella's high school classmate.
"Monkey! Where have you been all this time?! You never replied to my messages!" Ella hugged him and spoke to him in discontent.
Zach Hou cheerfully gave her a big hug: "I went to D City after our graduation. My phone was stolen when I got there, so I lost all my contacts"he explained to her.
"Well, no wonder you never replied." That explained everything.
Sum then pulled out her chair for her: "Let's sit down!" They sat in a circle around the table.
When Ella sat down, Sum sat beside her.
As the atmosphere started warming up in the room, Sum called over the waiter: "Two bottles of your best liqueur and two bottles of your best red wine, please."
It took Sum a lot of effort to reach out to their former high school and college classmates who had a good relationship with Ella for the dinner they had planned out for tonight.
Sum poured wine for the ladies and liquor for the men. "Mr. Su, we are so flattered to have at our table a CEO filling our glasses." Molly Yuan took her wine glass, and quipped.
"Don't be. Tomorrow is Ella's birthday. How about we celebrate Ella's birthday in advance, eh?" Ella didn't expect that at all. She had no idea that Sum still remembered when her birthday was.
At this time, the other four people each took out a gift and gave it to Ella: "Ella, happy birthday to you in advance!" Ella's arms were filled with gifts from her former classmates in an instant.
She was touched and almost speechless at the sight of them giving her their best wishes: "I am so happy, thank you... Thank you..." She wept as she thanked them.
Sum hurried up to help her put aside the gifts and handed over a couple of tissues to her: "You're a grown girl now. You can't just cry out like that in front of us!" It really hurt when he saw her tears.
"Yeah, Ella, you're a mother now. You can't be acting like a little girl no more."
"Don't cry moon, aren't you glad to see us?"
... Everyone gathered around and comforted her with warm words.
Sum told them in advance about what was happening b
Jean Wen sacrificed herself for family interests. Before her husband divorced her, she made every effort to please him.
"You are inexperienced in bed," he said coldly.
"You! Give that land to my family, or I won't agree to divorce," Jean replied furiously.
"Fine. It is exactly what I am thinking about," he sneered.
oke. She opened her eyes and stared at the strange ceiling of the room. Where was she?
Molly Yuan woke up last. She went to open the door: "Who is it? You are so annoying!" The door was opened and the three men outside almost fell to the ground.
"We are now sieged by the journalists because of Yvonne and Ella. You need to go out first. To avert suspicion, we'll stay here until noon." Sum briefed them on what had happened.
Ella was married. It would put a bad influence on her if the press caught the six of them leaving the hotel together.
And they were surrounded by journalists? Yvonne Yan sat up in bed with her hair all messy. She was allergic to the press. Her heart started to beat faster and faster when she heard the news.
"OMG, what can we do now? What should I do! My agent would nag me to death if he knew what happened!" Yvonne Yan got off the bed and started moving around the room anxiously.
Ella was the calmest. Even though she didn't go home last night, Samuel was too busy making out with Emmato have the time to care about where she was or what she did all night.
"No. Since we entered the hotel together, we'll leave it together. It would look suspicious if we tried to hide something"
Said Ella. She then went to the bathroom, and started to wash herself up.
The others looked at each other and decided that this is the best thing to do. Ella had just left the entertainment business for a couple of years.
