Chapter 34 A Sudden Classmate Reunion (1/2)

But where was Terence?

Where?

Oops.

Sean facepalmed and felt chagrined. Not knowing their time of arrival, he told Terence that he would come with Carla without telling him when they would arrive.

'How could Terence figure out when we'll arrive, and when to pick us up? How stupid of me!' he began to blame himself.

”Sean, what's wrong with you? Why did you slap yourself?”

Noticing his unusual behavior, Carla stroked his unruly hair and asked, worrying about her little brother who seemed to have been caught in a daze.

'Is there something he's hiding from me?' Carla doubted him for a second.

”Eh, it's nothing. I was just a little lightheaded after getting off the train. Carla, do you know where we'd be staying tonight?” Sean tried shifting the subject immediately, for he couldn't let Carla find out about his secret for the time being.

Otherwise, with her short temper, things could get really nasty.

If she ever found out her little brother secretly contacting Terence, she would definitely turn around and go back to BH City at once.

”I've booked a hotel. We'll ride a taxi and head straight there.” Carla gave him a suspicious look and then walked to the side of the road to hail a taxi.

In the light of her search on the Internet, she learned that JA City was very large, much larger than BH City, and she wasn't familiar with the area at all. So, she had to stoop so low to contact her former classmate, Violet. They went to the same senior high school. However, they hadn't been in touch for quite a long time ever since graduation.

When they were still in high school, they got along very well. But when Violet's father transferred his job to JA City, their family—who were richer than Carla's—moved here and never returned to BH City.

Actually, Carla didn't really want to bother Violet because of her pride, but she would be bringing along her ten-year-old little brother with her this time.

Therefore, just to be on the safer side, Carla had to ask for help from Violet who was a friend, at least.

”Hello, is this Violet? This is Carla speaking I've arrived in JA City, but it's too late now, so I'll be staying in a hotel nearby. I'll just come and visit you tomorrow. How's that?”

Speaking on the phone, Carla asked Sean to get in the taxi. She then followed him soon after.

”Have you arrived yet, Carla? Great. We'll be having a class reunion tonight, and all of our classmates who are living in JA City will join in. I thought you wouldn't catch up with us. I'm glad you're here now. Please make sure to come to the party,”
