The voice belonged to Cindy Snyder, a girl who sat next to Xyla when they were in their third year of
high school.
“Cindy Snyder?” Xyla asked doubtfully. There was a look of disbelief in her eyes.
The two of them sat next to each other in their third year in high school. Back then, they were extremely
good friends. After they graduated, Cindy had gone abroad to study, and they rarely spoke to each
other since then.
After Tom Sullivan betrayed Xyla, she had cut off all contact with her friends and family and gone to
America alone. Ever since then, Xyla and Cindy had become completely out of touch.
“It’s me… Xyla, do you remember me? I’m organizing a high school reunion in seven days at the Hilton
Hotel. Will you come, please? I’ve done what I could on my own to invite all our classmates from Class
A… If you don’t show up, it won’t be perfect.” Cindy’s voice was as gentle and pleasant as ever.
“Sure,” Xyla agreed right away.

Xyla wanted to meet them and see how they were doing now. Indeed, she had fond memories of them
studying hard together to prepare for the high school examinations.
“Okay… I’ll send you the location and the exact time later. You must show up,” Cindy said.
“Got it,” Xyla said.
“I heard you got married. Since family members are allowed to come along to the gathering, bring your
husband with you so we can get to know him,” Cindy said.
“Okay,” Xyla said.
Xyla chatted with Cindy for a while before hanging up.
“Is dinner ready?” Xyla asked.
“Yeah,” Stanley answered.
“Great! I’m starving,” Xyla said and stood up joyfully. After stretching a little, Xyla went with Stanley to
wash their hands before entering the dining room.
When Xyla saw the table full of delicious food, she could not resist raising her thumbs at Stanley. “Not
bad. Thank you for your hard work,” Xyla said.
“As long as you like the food,” Stanley said.
Xyla sat down and took a closer look at each dish. She liked all of them.
“Of course, I like them. These are all my favorite dishes. How could I not like them?” Xyla said.
Stanley did not say anything. He poured her a glass of red wine in silence.
“There’s a reunion with my high school classmates in seven days. Can you come with me?” Xyla gently
swirled the wine in the glass as she pressed onto its base with her right hand.
“Sure,” Stanley murmured.

Georgie Clementine was having lunch with her parents at her home when she got a call from Fred
Thomson, a well-known director, inviting her out to discuss something.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm
Some days ago, she heard that Fred was preparing for a Qing Dynasty drama based on a famous lP-
type story. A well-known actor, Kenny Wonders, had been selected as the male lead. Most of the
important supporting actors were veteran actors. However, the female lead was not selected yet.
Hence, Georgie took the initiative to recommend a few more capable female actresses from X
Entertainment to him.
Now, Fred had taken the initiative to call Georgie. She figured he probably wanted to use one of the
actresses she had recommended.
The script, being an adaptation of a famous IP-type story, certainly had its own fan base. On top of that,
Kenny Wonders and many veteran actors were starring in the drama, which meant it would receive a
lot of attention.
It was a drama that became popular before it was even filmed. If a female actress from X
Entertainment could become the female lead, she would certainly become famous.
Fred had a very strong background. Many influential bosses in the entertainment industry treated him
with great respect, and so did television stations. Hence, if it were his drama, it would receive a high
rating. Moreover, it would be aired during the prime time of winter and summer breaks.
