Sophia’s silhouette swayed unsteadily, her steps occasionally faltering.

Zephyr stood still. His eyes, hidden behind his glasses, were holding a profound look as he gazed intently at her retreating figure.

In his mind, he couldn’t help but reminisce about their high school days. She, with her assertive demeanor, cornered him in the hallway. “Zephyr, I really like you. Will you be my boyfriend?” she asked back then.

At that moment, her temperament hadn’t really changed, yet she had said he was trash.

She was unaware that he was the one who had suggested that Serena organize the reunion. He had deliberately provoked Serena’s competitive spirit, knowing full well that Serena wouldn’t resist the urge to challenge her. He also knew her well enough to understand that her stubborn nature would compel her to attend the reunion after Serena’s provocation.

When he arrived, standing at the entrance of the private room, he heard her voice. It took immense self- control for him to maintain his composure.

At last, Sophia reached the private room entrance and pushed the door to step inside.

The chatter in the room came to a halt as everyone’s gaze turned toward her.

Sophia was completely oblivious until she noticed the round table was completely bare, and not a soul was in sight. That was when she realized something was amiss. Has the waiter already cleared the table? Where’s Nora?

On the couch, a middle–aged man cleared his throat and asked, “Miss, have you perhaps wandered into the wrong room?”

Sophia looked toward the person who was speaking, scratching her head in confusion. Do I have an ex- classmate of such age? Could it be that the homeroom teacher has arrived?

Jonas stood up, flashing an apologetic smile at the middle–aged man. “I’m sorry. I’ll to escort her out,” he

said.

He walked toward Sophia. “Ms. Tortell, let’s go.”

The middle–aged man was a director of a certain show who had wanted to invite him to appear on the program. That was why he had invited him and his manager to have lunch together here.

No one expected Sophia to suddenly barge in.

As he drew closer, Jonas could smell the strong scent of alcohol emanating from Sophia. Her cheeks were flushed a deep red, clearly indicating she had indulged quite a bit. It was no wonder she seemed a little.

dazed.

Sophia looked up, momentarily startled. Blinking, she asked, “Jonas? What are you doing at my reunion?”

Jonas took hold of her arm and began to lead her out. “Let’s head outside first.”

Stumbling slightly, Sophia followed Jonas out of the private room. “Jonas, why are you leading me out?” Jonas closed the door and asked, “Where is your private room?”

Sophia’s eyes were hazy as she pointed behind Jonas. “Isn’t this it?”

Jonas was rendered speechless.

He then rephrased his question, asking, “Who did you come with?”

Before Sophia could speak, a male voice suddenly echoed from the side. “I’ll take care of her. I’m her boyfriend.”

The individual who arrived was clad in a turtleneck sweater and dress pants. His fair face was adorned with round, gold–rimmed glasses.

Upon seeing Sophia enter the wrong private room, Zephyr immediately followed after her.

Jonas gave Zephyr a once–over, keenly detecting a hint of hostility in his gaze. Squinting his eyes, he asked, “Boyfriend?”

Previously, when he was in Archulea, he seemed to recall them mentioning that Sophia didn’t have a boyfriend.

Sophia quickly hid behind Jonas, clutching tightly onto his hoodie. She peeked her head out and said, “He’s not my boyfriend! He’s a human trafficker, planning to kidnap me and sell me off to some remote

area!”

Zephyr was stumped.

He gently gazed at Sophia and said, “Sophia, stop fooling around. I know you’re mad at me, but you can’t joke about this matter…”

Jonas stared at Zephyr, a wary look etched on his face. “There’s no need for further talk. I won’t hand her over to you. If you’re wise, you’ll leave immediately. Otherwise, I’ll call security.”

The person before him was acting suspiciously, not quite like a human trafficker, but more likely a scoundrel who had failed to win Sophia’s affection and was then resorting to despicable tactics.

A shadow flickered across Zephyr’s eyes behind his glasses when he heard those words. He then stared at Jonas with a piercing gaze. “And who might you be? What gives you the right to decide her fate? Let me make this clear. There’s no way I’m leaving her in the hands of a stranger like you!”

Zephyr thought the individual standing before him was acting suspiciously, likely plotting to take advantage of Sophia.

Sophia clung to Jonas‘ clothes, declaring, “Jonas isn’t a stranger! Jonas is my friend!”

Jonas looked at Zephyr, raising an eyebrow as he asked, “Did you hear that?”

Zephyr was also looking at Jonas. “She’s drunk, and she even mistook the private room. Who’s to say she wouldn’t mistake her friends?”

Their gazes clashed, the air seemingly filled with the lingering scent of gunpowder after a skirmish.

Neither of them was willing to back down.

However, there were still guests in the private room, so Jonas couldn’t stay out for too long. He shifted his gaze, turning to ask Sophia, “Who did you come with?”

“Nora. Where has Nora gone to? Why didn’t she wait for me?” Sophia asked, her eyes wide with innocent confusion.

Zephyr looked at Sophia and said, “I know where Lenora is. How about I take you to find her?”

Upon hearing this, Jonas immediately asked, “Which private room is Lenora in? I’ll take her there straight away!”

Jonas didn’t feel at ease letting the man before him take away Sophia, who was drunk.

Zephyr glanced at him, saying in a nonchalant tone, “0307.”

Jonas turned his head, looking back at Sophia. “Shall I take you to find Nora?”

“Yes!” Sophia responded eagerly.

“Let’s go.”

Sophia gently held Jonas‘ sleeve, obediently trailing by his side.

Clearly, between the two of them, she was more acquainted with Jonas.

Zephyr lagged behind by a step. His eyes beneath his glasses were unfathomably deep. Silently, he followed along.

The private room was separated only by two other rooms. Zephyr pushed the doors open without hesitation, positioning himself at the entrance. He cast a sidelong glance at Jonas.

Jonas entered, scanning his surroundings, his eyes landing on the figure of Lenora.

Lenora also saw him with Sophia, and she immediately stood up and walked over. “Jonas?”

“Nóra!” Upon seeing Lenora, Sophia chuckled before rushing toward her without any hesitation.

Lenora steadied Sophia by wrapping her arms around Sophia’s waist. “How did you two end up together?” she asked

Jonas dropped the confrontational demeanor he had when facing Zephyr, his face then adorned with a gentle smile. “I’m also dining here, and she accidentally entered the wrong private room,” he said.

“Thank you.” Lenora pinched the soft flesh on Sophia’s waist and said, “I said I would accompany you, but you refused.”

Sophia wasn’t paying attention at all. She was just lying on Lenora’s body, grumbling softly.

Whispers filled the private room as some recognized Jonas, engaging in hushed discussions about him. Jonas said with a smile, “I have guests waiting for me, so I’ll have to leave now. Let’s catch up over a meal

when we have the time.”

“All right. Go ahead.”

Jonas turned around and casually noticed Zephyr at the entrance. He halted his steps and whispered to Lenora, “The man at the door claims to be Ms. Tortell’s boyfriend. I suspect he has ulterior motives. Be careful.”
