The gathering would be held in the afternoon at one of her high school classmates' abode, which was not very far away from her home. Without much hesitation, Gabriella agreed to be present.
In the afternoon, Gabriella arrived at the classmate's house as promised. Just as she entered the house, everyone was captivated by her.
Gabriella was in a low-cut mini dress whereby a large area of her porcelain skin was exposed, and her hourglass figure was accentuated.
Even though the makeup on her face was heavy, she still looked very elegant and graceful.
In her high heels, Gabriella strutted like a peacock and paced into the middle of the crowd.
Even though she was having a hard time recently, Gabriella was still undoubtedly the most eye-catching person among her high school classmates.
Elated, Gabriella enjoyed the instance when all eyes were fixated on her, and it distracted her from all the recent chaos in her life and helped her regain her self-confidence.
Seeing as Gabriella was approaching, those who were engaged in casual chats, especially men, drew themselves closer to her simultaneously. There was a fervently expectant glint glowing in their eyes.
“Gabriella, you're here. You're still as beautiful as before.”
“You've grown so much prettier, Gabriella. You look so graceful.”
“Have you found a boyfriend? The man who marries you in the future must be one lucky I" man!
All the flatteries from everyone around her put a contented smile on Gabriella's face.
She was still the goddess in everyone's eyes. Joan, you're no match for me!
Gabriella's arrival certainly drove the gathering to its culmination. At that moment, she was surrounded by many of her male classmates. However, seeing that she was nonchalant to everyone, they gradually walked away. Only one man remained at Gabriella's side, and he was Carl.
The moment Gabriella walked into the house, Carl's eyes lit up instantly.
Even when they were still in high school, Gabriella had been his dream girl, and he had always wanted to pursue her.
