Chapter 323

Zara didn’t apply for postgraduate studies after finishing university but joined a company to work in her field of studies. It seemed that Chris was working in that company as well. Zara went there to be with her boyfriend.

She was quite proper in everything else, and she hardly ever talked about her boyfriend. She had mentioned Chris in passing, saying that they had a deep bond as she had fallen for him since childhood. He was the only one she wanted to

marry.

Chris wasn’t tall but not short either, probably around five feet ten. He had a simple haircut and wore glasses with golden rims. They seemed to have thick lenses, indicating that it was a prescription. Chris appeared courteous but

somewhat aloof.

This was the first time I met him, but something seemed off.

A normal man would be warm and friendly when meeting the close friends of his girlfriend, but Chris gave off an indifferent vibe. It was as if he were detached from everything, as if there were an invisible barrier between us.

No matter how hard we tried, he couldn’t seem to integrate into the group. It could be said that he didn’t even try. His presence today was probably solely at

Zara’s insistence.

I had met Drew a few times before. He was our senior in high school. I heard that he grew up together with Jade, so they were childhood sweethearts.

He was entirely opposite to Chris as he was very outgoing, tall, and cheerful. Drew was slightly tanned and would reveal a set of large white teeth when he smiled. He was constantly cooking something on the grill, barely eating himself. He served Jade generously.
