My Boyfriend Is A Campus Bad Boy - Chapter 240
The guests were mesmerized by the entire place because of a breathtaking decoration. Every table were covered with a simple, yet beige silk with small detail.
If only one among hundreds of guests noticed the debutant’s name that was inscribed in the middle of it. Aside from the customized table coverings, the utensils and glasses were also personalized only for Maxine’s eighteenth birthday.
And every chair was covered with a smooth, cozy garment that relaxed all the guests’ body.
“And tonight, let us begin with eighteen people who truly cared for our dearest, beautiful girl Maxine. All guests who were chosen to offer the eighteen candles, please come forward and we will begin it shortly.”
While Maxine sat on the elegant chair, she laid her eyes on Halora who genuinely laughing with her friends. She looked beautiful even though she wore a simple make-up that emphasized a woman’s natural beauty.
She smirked, crossed her arms irritatingly that was noticed by few of the guests. But instead of enjoying the entire night, the thought of stealing Sebastian stayed in her mind.
“Look at that lovely smile on your face, Halora. I will let you enjoy for now, but when the right time comes, I will do something that will destroy your trust and shatter your heart into pieces.”
While eighteen stunning close friends and relatives gave the candle to her, the only thing she did was to smile shortly.
The truth is, she gathered everyone for a scandalous reason and for a selfish, wrecking ambition.
Until the last person walked closer to her and whispered a short message that shocked and blew her mind.
“You’re beautiful on your unique way. If you’re planning something, please stop it while you have still time.” said a handsome guy that quickly vanished from her sight.
No one noticed it, but deep inside, she wanted to scream and curse him every single second.
She narrowed her eyes, stared sharply at the guy who sat down next to his friends with a cold expression.
Maxine took a deep breath and she won’t deny it that he was entirely a good-looking man with a perfect jawline. His teeth flaunted like warm, blue sky that somehow replaced the annoying feeling in her chest.
Her heart thumped too fast like she was being followed by hundreds of monsters, and even before, she never knew about a strange, tingling feeling.
“Such an arrogant man! But well, he’s quite handsome and attractive.” she whispered to the cold air that brought goosebumps on her skin.
“And now, let us witness eighteen important people who will give their treasures to the debutant who looked happy and joyful.”
The speaker cut her off that annoyed Maxine completely. She didn’t know if he was on her side or on Halora’s lateral.
But instead of creating a new scene, Maxine chose to let it go because it was a worthless matter. He was a nobody and if he would commit a mistake, he would go home without anything in return.
“You are beautiful and shining tonight, my lady. Hope you’ll like this treasure only for you.” spoke a tall guy with a killer smile.
She replied, “Thank you but whatever it is, I can afford to buy it too, so I hope you didn’t waste your time over this!”
Maxine went too far when she insulted one of her guests. It was a genuine short message but she found it too embarrassing.
The guy took a long, stepped back and didn’t say anything. He was hurt by those painful words yet, the best thing he did was to smile genuinely in return.
“Goodness, if there’s two men in the world, I would always choose Sebastian over other man!”
She murmured until the last girl who was carrying a small box smiled shortly and hesitated to step forward.
“What are you standing right there? Hurry up and give that nonsense gift of yours and disappear from my sight!”
Maxine trundled her eyes over and frustratingly took a deep sigh.
“I’m sorry, but here it is.” The poor girl told her as she quickly walked back to her seat despairingly.
But for her, it was nothing. Everyone around her was useless, priceless and nothing compared to he man she was dying for.
“And before we proceed to the next highlight of tonight’s magical party, let us enjoy our fabulous dinner at this moment. Good evening once again and enjoy!”
For a few minutes, the speaker bowed his head as he walked into the table next to him to put the wireless microphone.
Afterwards, he took out his phone inside of his pocket as he walked towards the table where Halora enjoyed the buffet.
“She nailed it tonight and I should take a picture with her. For sure my friends will take her as our new shining model.” he murmured.
But when he was about to say a single word, he noticed that Maxine walked towards the same direction. He quickly turned around, smiled at the group of men who laughed sarcastically.
He gasped for more air, caressed his chest that soothe his soul for a moment. He stood longer until Maxine passed by and she said, “Perfect strategy, huh.”
But the speaker didn’t give a damn thing as he rolled his eyes and flipped his hair as if it was long and perfect like Rapunzel’s hair.
“What an evil young girl!” he muttered.
Without someone’s approval, he smiled widely that could even reach his ears.
He said, “Hey, pretty girls and handsome young man. How’s the food, by the way?”
Jasmine shrugged off her shoulders, lifted up the fork with a slice of pork and gnawed it silently.
Through her actions, he could tell that she was enjoying the food that gave him positive vibes that took away the devastating feeling because of Maxine’s behavior.
“It’s quite delicious and thank you for a warm introduction earlier, my friend held my arm tightly because everyone looked into our way the whole time.”
Markus stopped for a moment and giggled gracefully that weakened the speaker’s knees. He looked at the young man’s solid chest, bit the bottom of his lips and tried to control a burning sensation within.
“He’s right, but wait, you’re drooling!”
Jasmine covered her mouth when she clearly noticed that he was drooling over Markus and fount it as a nasty moment.
Silently, Halora giggled and tried not to offend him but it was completely funny until her hands laid on Markus’ chest.
