"You think you're the only one who's rich and is a debutante?" Yvonne asked sarcastically.
"Of course." Kimberly raised her head high.
A girl next to Kimberly immediately spoke up, "Yvonne, don't you know that there's a big banquet in Agaphen City tonight? All the most influential and powerful people in Agaphen City have been invited to attend. Kimberly was invited, and as a VIP too. Don't talk about attending as a VIP, you and Natalie won't even be able to enter."
"Maybe they'll be able to attend." Kimberly chimed in, "For example, as waitresses to serve us juice or something."
"Pfft."
The crowd burst into laughter.
Yvonne suddenly stood up to stare at Kimberly and her posse. "Don't look down upon people like a snob. Natalie can attend things like that whenever she wants, and as theVVIPtoo!"
The laughter returned after her outburst.
Kimberly couldn't hold back her own laughter too. "Yvonne, do you think that just because Natalie's father was hired to become a person-in-charge, she would be a VVIP? Are you trying to make a joke?"
"I guess she thought that Natalie's father became the President of the United States!"
Yvonne's face turned red. Just as she was about to mention Tobias' and Natalie's relationship, Natalie also stood up.
She pulled Yvonne away. "Yvonne, let's go. You shouldn't argue with a bunch of mad dogs."
"Who are you calling mad dogs?" Kimberly stood forward. "You're just a poor woman who can't even attend a banquet!"
Natalie ignored Kimberly and continued dragging Yvonne away.
Yvonne was unwilling to accept that.
However, Natalie gave her a look that gave her no choice but to leave alongside her.
"Natalie, you really want to let them get away with this?" Yvonne's face was full of unwillingness.
"Of course not," Natalie replied.
A hint of craftiness could be seen in her eyes.
"What do you mean?" Yvonne looked at Natalie suspiciously.
"Yvonne, do you want to attend the banquet together?" She asked with a smile.
Yvonne's eyes widened in surprise. "Natalie, are you serious? Can I attend as well?"
She nodded. "Of course."
Yvonne felt that she was about to be enveloped by a circle of light filled with happiness.
If Natalie had said that in the past, Yvonne would definitely refuse to believe her. She would even think that Natalie was daydreaming.
However, things were different right now.
Natalie was Tobias' woman and what a concept that was.
With such a powerful figure backing her, it would be easy for Natalie to bring whoever she wanted to the banquet that night!
Attending a banquet!
Yvonne had only seen that kind of occasion on TV before this, so she couldn't help looking forward to it.
However, when they returned to the classroom, Yvonne saw Sebastian sitting alone and her heart ached.
Was doing that to him a little over the line?
Yvonne gritted her teeth. She couldn't afford to be soft-hearted.
Otherwise, Sebastian's feelings for Natalie would only deepen.
She had to find the right time to talk to Sebastian so that he could truly let his feelings for Natalie go.
Otherwise, Sebastian would only sink deeper and deeper.
After school, not Tobias but Benjamin came to pick Natalie up.
Natalie then introduced him to Yvonne, "Yvonne, this is Tobias' assistant, Benjamin Simpson."
Yvonne had seen Benjamin in the classroom before, but this was the first time they were meeting in close proximity.
She sighed when she saw how handsome Benjamin was.
He really was Tobias' subordinate since his looks were astounding as well.
"Benjamin, this is my best friend, Yvonne Simpson," Natalie said to Benjamin.
"Hello, Miss Simpson." Benjamin stretched out his hands and said, "It seems we share the same surname."
Yvonne felt a little overwhelmed by the favor and immediately stretched out her hands as well.
Benjamin's palms were hot to the touch and Yvonne felt like she had been scalded.
