Gossip Girl Reborn by Darlene Nunez

Chapter 184 A Monthly Salary Of Five Hundred Thousand

Perhaps the atmosphere turned a bit eerie briefly, for the two individuals with the most amiable personalities voluntarily spoke up to break the awkward silence.

"We've only seen each other a handful of times. Have you forgotten us, Isabella? Haha... I'm Ines Deleon. Do you still remember me?"

Ines happened to be sitting next to Isabella, both enthusiastic and outgoing.

Those at the table were actually four to five years older than Isabella. Thus, Ines spoke as if she was teasing a young girl.

However, her youthful and sweet appearance had Isabella feel she appeared even younger than her.

Ines was a classic rich young lady, naive and innocent. Raised in a sheltered environment, she was pampered by her parents from young. She was the epitome of a kind girl with a good lot in life, naturally endearing to all.

The last time Isabella caused a scene and flipped the table, Ines was nearly caught in the crossfire and was traumatized. The fact that she could still treat Isabella enthusiastically then was due to Alexander and her curiosity about the latter, who had experienced a drastic change in temperament.

"I'm Aiden Burke, her boyfriend and your husband's former roommate during university." Aiden hugged Ines from behind, all smiles, handsome and cheerful.

He appeared carefree like Ines, but in reality, he was sensitive due to the early death of his birth mother and his continuous stream of stepmothers. Before he met Ines, he was a gloomy lad. However, after falling in love with Ines at first sight, he was changed completely, becoming part of the infamous dummy lovers.

From their university days until then, even with a long-distance relationship in between, they had always been passionately in love. They were considered a well-matched couple within their circle, lovers everyone blessed and acknowledged. The sight of them truly lifted one's spirits.

"Hello. I remember you both. Your bond is still as strong as ever."

Oh, not bad. Aside from the inconvenience of Aiden's good-for-nothing father deciding to have a new wife and forcing them to return for the wedding, this couple has no worries. They're even planning to discuss marriage.
