Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 162

“That dude in the white suit, he’s twenty–six. Not a bad figure, but his face? Meh. He might look good in a mask, but those tiny eyes of his are hideous“”

“The one in the blue suit, not a good catch. His family favors boys over girls. He has five sisters, any girl who marries into that family would be under pressure to have a son.”

“Did you see the plump, short guy? He’s been divorced lour times!”

Stella was well–versed in the lives of these rich kids. She often worked with them, so even with masks on, she could tell who’s who.

We’re lucked away in a corner, chirping excitedly about the men in the room, while waiting for Zora to show up.

She returned after a while, looking disappointed. “She’s covered up well, I could barely see her.”

“Why so curious? You’re not a guy,” I teased, “Are you planning to use your charm to boost the company’s performance?”

“Ugh, do I look like that kind of person?” Alicia denied immediately.

I laughed, scanning the crowd. A woman appeared, shining like a star.

She wore a black feather mask, her eyes the only visible feature.

Taking a closer look, she was oozing money. Even the diamond hairpin in her hair was pricey.
