Chapter 1655

Felicity was at her wit's end. She found herself yearning for either Calvin's presence or the kind of laid-back attitude his mom always seemed to have. The kind where you listen if you want to, and if not, you just nod along without much care. "Anyway, you're totally done with that Langston guy, right?"

Calvin was sure of it-if Miles were to be completely ruled out of the competition, the victory would be his, no doubt about it.

Now, it seemed like nothing could make him truly happy anymore.

Time flew, and several months passed in the blink of an eye. This weekend happened to be Jeffrey Turner's birthday.

Everett Lopez, his close buddy, was a must-have on the guest list, and he also gave Miles a ring, "Hey Langston, it's Mr. Turner's birthday today. Got any plans? Want to join us for dinner?"

"Happy Birthday to Mr. Turner, but I'm tied up with some computer setups at the office. Not sure when I'll be done. If I can make it afterwards, I'll definitely swing by."
