Hilton Hotel.
At this moment, nearly all of Erwin's friends have arrived, close to 30 in number, each dressed impressively.
The reason Andre, the class president, organized this event, was to welcome Lina, the class flower, back from abroad; truth be told, most of the boys present harbored similar thoughts.
The gathering was organized as a buffet, with Andre having rented the entire events hall in Zone C of the Hilton Hotel, with the cost of the buffet meal evenly distributed among the attendees, totaling at least one million each.
Thus, the party was considered quite stylish, offering everything from wine, seafood, cakes, fruit, barbecue, and more, marking it as a pretty decent celebration.
Leticia brought her new boyfriend, Adam, to introduce him to her girlfriends, a move that sparked envy among them, and this made Leticia very pleased.
"Wow, the young master of the Sun Group, isn't he incredibly wealthy? Life must be so delightful for you, Leticia." Her friends envied her one by one. Although Sun Group was but moderately large, it had a substantial market value, making Adam, the heir, a wealthy man driving luxury cars and living in a lush villa, with countless girls eagerly approaching this handsome and wealthy man.
"Pleasure to meet you all; do visit our Sun Villa sometime, I'll grant you special complimentary access," Adam greeted each of Leticia’s female classmates cordially, now and then glancing over at the more attractive among them.
"Really? Leticia, your boyfriend is so generous," her friends applauded. After all, the Sun Villa, a property of the Sun Group, was a renowned resort in Bandung city, with pricey entry fees not to mention the lavish amenities.
Leticia reveled in the compliments.
"So, Leticia, what about Erwin? Wasn't he a promising guy back in college, didn't you date him?" A classmate of Leticia inquired at an awkward moment.
"Promising? He gained some notoriety in college but post-graduation, he's settled for a job paying mere millions and rents a tiny room, and he’s currently without a job and can't even afford his rent. Obviously, I ended things with him long ago." Continuously, Leticia badmouthed Erwin, as if wanting to erase him from her past.
"To be jobless and unable to afford rent? How surprising that the talented man we knew from college days has now fallen into such a sad state. But I wonder if he will show up today." Initially curious about the talented Erwin, they now held diminished expectations.
"It appears we ought not to wait for anything from Erwin, Leticia; thankfully, you were wise to find someone like Adam, ensuring a wealthy future as his wife," another female classmate commented with a hint of jealousy.
"No, no, you too shall meet someone like this; there's no need to envy me." Leticia replied humbly, yet her friends' jealousy only inflated her happiness more and confirmed that her decision to leave poor Erwin was wise, for her friends would have surely laughed had she still been with him.
Adam also relished the praise, a slight smile forming on his lips, pride swelling within him silently.
"Erwin, I'm curious to see how you would dare show your face around me today, if you have the audacity to come, I shall humiliate you in front of everyone."
While they talked, suddenly, a thin man burst energetically through the door, shouting loudly,
"Ladies and gentlemen, guess who I saw outside?"
"Has Lina arrived?" The boys shifted their attention. They were mainly here to see their college crush.
"No, it's Erwin, our talented university peer." Gasping from his rush, the thin man was unable to finish.
"Erwin? What's so impressive about him?" The boys were indifferent, as were the girls who once expected Erwin but now harbored doubts, having heard Leticia's words.
Besides, they showed no interest in a penniless man lacking a job who couldn’t even pay rent.
Adam was even more eager, intending to embarrass Erwin the moment he showed, ensuring Erwin ceased any airs around him.
But after the thin man caught his breath, he suddenly announced loudly.
"He's driving an incredibly cool Ferrari F12 berlinetta; many are now watching him outside."
"Ferrari?" Everyone gasped in astonishment.
"A Ferrari F12 costing at least 10 billion or more, how did Erwin afford such a luxury car within just three years of graduation? This is beyond riches."
"Erwin driving a Ferrari? Simply astonishing." The men disbelieved, contemplating asking Erwin for wealth advice, as did the women in shock.
"Erwin in a Ferrari, Leticia, didn't you say he lost his job and was so poor he couldn't pay rent?"
The women began to doubt Leticia’s previous statements, their eyes suddenly carrying renewed hope for Erwin.
Leticia was silent, stunned to incoherence.
"He's driving a Ferrari? Impossible, how could this pauper afford such an extravagant sports car?"
Adam's brow furrowed further, inwardly damning Erwin's relentless charade, intent on exposing the truth about this 'pauper' and humiliating him publicly.
In this atmosphere of mixed emotions, Erwin walked in from outside with Daniel, smiling, and instantly became the center of attention.
