Everyone burst into laughter at once.

Throwing Matthew a single glance, Grace inquired, “Is our class monitor telling the truth, Matthew? Are you really a janitor? We’re all classmates from the same batch. Why is your life so tough? It’s one thing to be a janitor, but how did you end up cleaning toilets? Can you please save face for your classmates?”

Knitting his brows, Matthew muttered, “It’s still a job though. I didn’t steal or rob and made money with my own two hands. Is that something I should be ashamed of?”

“If you’re going to live like this, it would be better if you steal or rob!” snorted Grace.

“A young man in his twenties with healthy limbs can make a pretty decent amount moving bricks at construction sites. But you’re cleaning toilets instead of that. How ridiculous!”

Another male classmate instantly mocked, “Hey! What happens if Elaine finds out that Matthew is cleaning toilets at a hospital now? Do you guys remember? Back in the days, Matthew had a crush on our class belle, Elaine.

There was once when Matthew posted the love letter he wrote to her on the blackboard. It was so funny! But, look at him now. Fortunately, Elaine isn’t blind when it comes to men.”

With a hearty laugh, Grace went on, “Seriously, Elaine is very unfortunate though. As the class belle, she was fancied by someone like Matthew. Imagine how disgusting it would have been for her.”

The crowd cracked up again.
