Chapter 187
Chapter 187
Walter had always been a gentleman, and he had never been so ungentlemanly or so unkind to a girl. However, today, his behavior was the exact opposite of what he used to be. Walter knew what she meant, and his tone was indifferent, “Jo, that was nothing when it comes to protecting someone I care about.” Jocelyn pursed her lips; her expression was tense
For a while, she did not know what to say.
She really could not get used to how Walter was still as nice to her as he was two years ago. Obviously, their relationship was long gone, so why was he still doing this? Jocelyn bit her lip, feeling inexplicably depressed.
Walter saw that something was wrong with her, and he told himself that he had to take this
slow.
He changed the subject, “Jo, I heard that you are working at Prosperity Jewelry now, right?” Jocelyn nodded absently. “Yeah.”
Walter smiled; his tone as gentle as a spring breeze. “If you need anything in the future, you can ask me for help. If someone causes trouble for you in the company, you can also come to me. I have… acquaintances in Prosperity.”
Jocelyn opened her mouth but did not know what to say for a long time. Finally, she hummed softly and nodded mechanically.
After getting out of the elevator, Walter said, “Jo, you guys go get together with the alumni first. I need to handle something and I’ll go over later.” Jocelyn knew he was organizing the party today so he must be busier than she was. She nodded and watched Walter leave.
Lexie’s eyes flashed and she suddenly said, “What an affectionate nickname. The name of your cat is also derived from your name too, right?”
Jocelyn was stunned. “I genuinely never realized that, but Skyler was the one who named the
cat.”
Lexie teased, “Walter and Skyler have such great taste in names.”
Jocelyn pursed her lips and said nothing. After staying silent for a while, Lexie said after some hesitation, “Jocelyn, does Walter… still like you?” When Jocelyn heard this, she was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. She quickly retorted, “Nonsense. He never likes me so what do you mean still likes me?”
Lexie pressed her lips together and did not mind Jocelyn’s reaction. “He’s behaving the way he did two years ago, and he can’t stand you being wronged.”
Jocelyn’s voice sounded a little numb. “Maybe… he just sees me as his little sister.”
Lexie was stunned. Walter had a fiancé, and he was still so nice to Jocelyn.
“Yeah… Perhaps she’s just like a little sister.’
Lexie curled her lips sarcastically and grabbed Jocelyn. “Let’s go find seats.”
Jocelyn nodded.
The May First Hotel, which was used to host the alumni party, was not big, but it was enough to fit all the alumni.
The hall, dining hall, and the meeting hall on the top floor were all turned into a buffet. They only needed to take the elevator to go between the halls, so it was very convenient. Even the dorm rooms were vacated to accommodate the alumni who could not go home tonight.
Jocelyn and Lexie met a lot of familiar faces when they entered the hall. Once they entered society, everyone’s temperament was not the same as it was when they were back in school.
In the end, Jocelyn and Lexie sat down on a sofa.
Soon, the sofa was sat with a lot of alumni, and they were chatting and laughing among themselves.
When Walter came in, he walked straight to Jocelyn even when there were so many empty
seats.
He looked at Lexie with a smile and then said with a soft smile, “Lexie, can you make room for
me?”
Lexie pressed her lips together, nodded, and got up to sit on the other side.
Walter sat next to Jocelyn and immediately, Jocelyn’s body became stiff. When Jordan saw this, he made a face at Walter and then chuckled. “The reason we’re here today is to exchange contacts among alumni. In the future, we can help each other out at work and connect more. It’s meaningless to just sit here and chat. Why don’t we play King’s Game?” Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Walter looked like an easy-mannered nobleman, but he was very unapproachable.
It was easy to talk to him, but it was hard to open one’s heart to him
However, Jordan was one of Walter’s close friends and they had always been close.
Walter did not say anything, which meant he tacitly agreed to this. Everyone else sitting there was making noise asking how to play this game. Jordan took out a box with dice. “It’s like this, we will roll the
dice. There are six dice, and we’ll take turns rolling them. The one with the biggest number will be the big king and the one with the smallest number will be the small king. I’ll change the rules a little. We can take turns being the dealer and, in every round, the dealer can ask the big and small king to do something. If either of them refuses, they will have to drink ten shots. What do you think?” When everyone heard that they were going to play a game, the atmosphere in the room immediately became lively. Everyone said they were not opposed to it.
Jordan rolled the dice first. He got a two, two threes, one four, one five, and one six.
A total of 23 points. It was not too high or too low.
Everyone continued rolling the dice.
When it was Jocelyn’s turn, she rolled the lowest point in this game. Five ones and a two, a total of seven points. She could only pray that someone would get six points, if not, she would be the small king. Walter grabbed the dice and rolled them absent-mindedly.
Jordan’s ears moved and he winked at Walter. Then, Walter stopped the dice. After he revealed the dice, there were six sixes, and it was 36 points. Undoubtedly, he was the big king Jocelyn opened her mouth, and she did not know what to say for a very long time. After that, all the other players got between seven and 36 points. Jordan smiled amorously and said with a smirk, “Well… I won’t make things hard for you. The two kings should kiss, what do you guys think?” Everyone loved amorous jokes, not to mention one of them was Walter. This chance was so rare to come by! Everyone started heckling, “Kiss! Kiss!”
