Chapter 281 Cake Crashers and Slap Dash
##Finished
In
their collective memory, Lauren had always been a loner, taciturn and reserved. During high school, she poured all her time into studying, and even during vacations, she never hung out with classmates.
For all three years of high school, Lauren kept to herse. If she had been more ordinary–looking or academically inclined, she would have been invisible in her class. But her beauty combined with her brains made her solitary nature stand out even more.
By the time everyone reacted, Lauren had already slapped Timothy six times.
Timothy finally snapped out of his shock, exploding with rage.
“You wench, you dare to hit me? You’re asking for it!”
He raised his hand to strike Lauren.
Just then, the door to the private room suddenly swung open.
Who is Ms. Tarvis?” A gentle female voice asked.
Everyone turned to look at the door, where a smiling waitress stood, pushing a small, elegant cart topped with a beautiful birthday cake.
“Excuse me, who is Ms. Tarvis?” the waitress asked again seeing no one responding.
Kelly stood up and said, “I am Ms. Tarvis.”
Indeed, her surname was Tarvis, the same surname with Mia.
She looked puzzled and asked, “May I help you?”
The waitress looked at her, dressed in a festive red dress and finely made up, and thought. She must be celebrating her birthday today.
The manager had specifically instructed that the Brooker Corporation’s CEO had reserved Suite 101 for Ms. Tarvis’s birthday celebration.
Getting the attention of the Brooker Corporation’s CEO was no small feat, and she was definitely not someone to be taken lightly.
With this in mind, the waitress’s smile grew even sweeter as she presented the cake to Kelly and said crisply, “Ms. Tarvis, this is a birthday cake specially prepared for you by the Lavette Grand Hotel. Happy birthday!”
Kelly stiffened. Birthday? It wasn’t my birthday today. My birthday wasn’t for another half a month. Could it be that the class hunk had arranged this with the Lavette Grand Hotel? Yes, that must be it.
After so many years since graduating from high school, they had finally managed to get together. After today, who knew when we could meet again? So, the class hunk had ordered the birthday cake in advance.
Now a sales manager at Brooker Corporation, the class hunk had the clout to book the VIP Suite 101 and arrange a birthday cake at the hotel with just a word.

graciously said. “Then please thank your manager for me.”
The waitress, with a professional smile, softly replied. You’re welcome; it’s all part of our service.”
Then she gracefully pushed the empty cart out of the room.
As the door closed behind her, all eyes turned to Kelly with envy.

Once the compliments ceased, Timothy, still smarting from the slaps, twisted his face in rage. He grabbed
a plate from the table and furiously hurled it at Lauren’s head, cursing.
“You ungrateful wench, dare to hit me? I’ll show you!”
Lauren reacted swiftly, grabbing a fork from the table to defend herself.
But before she could strike back, Marilyn shielded her,
With a crack, the plate shattered against Marilyn’s head, splitting into pieces.
“Marilyn–Lauren cried out..
“Ms. Bennett, I’m okay, go find Mr. Brooker,” Marilyn managed, despite the pain..
“Ha, you think you know Mr. Brooker?” The laughter erupted again in the room.
“Do you even know who Mr. Brooker is? He’s a top–tier tycoon from the capital of Corwynale, who, within just half a year in Hoverdale, spent millions to acquire the Eastgate area and is now the richest man in town. And you think you can just rub shoulders with him?”
“If you really want to meet Mr. Brooker, it’s not impossible. Just beg for mercy from our class hunk when he arrives; maybe he’ll be happy enough to give you a glimpse of Mr. Brooker’s glory.”
“Our class hunk is no ordinary person now; trust me, he wouldn’t bother with someone like her.”
“What do you mean, someone like her?”
Suddenly, the door was pushed open again, and a man in a white checkered suit walked in confidently. True to his reputation as the class hunk back in high school, his features were indeed more handsome than any other man present.
