Chapter 10

What the fuck?!!!

"Here comes the king of braggarts again! Can't you just stop boasting?" Sophia scoffed. "You're only embarrassing yourself!"

One of Chris's friends called out, "Hey dude, the banquet's off. Know why? Because I wasn't invited, so they cancelled the whole thing."

His tone was so amusing that everyone burst out laughing

He sneered at Alex, "Boo! Shame on you, man! Trying to a like you know something."

"Listen, Alex, whatever you're trying to pull, we're not buying it," Lyra said.

Alex knew hardly anyone would believe him, but he tried to tell his wife anyway. It was up to her whether o believe him or not.

Suddenly, Chris's smart wrist device buzzed.

"Hey, silence please," Chris asked the group and shot a smug look at Alex. "My dad's calling. Probably about the banquet."

The room went quiet as Chris switched on the speaker.

They pricked up their ears to the latest news of the banquet while looking at Alex with a sarcastic expression.

"Father," Chris said politely, "I'm still at the club. What time's the banquet? I'll try to hurry."

"Chris, we're not going to the banquet," his father replied, sounding sad.

"Why?" Chris asked, tense.

"It's been canceled," his father's voice echoed through the room.

"What?!"

Chris blinked, he couldn't believe his ears.

The whole room fell silent too.
