The Birthday Of A Special Stranger

 "Joleen ? Don't you have classes to attend ? "

Edward stood up then gently helped his girl standing too.

"Come on John ! It's break time. I'm not skipping classes so don't worry "

John was the eldest heir of the Paterson family and Joleen's only sibling. An over protective brother who happened to be engaged to his sister's childhood classmate, Anna.

" Come on John, we all know your sister is not the adventurous type that skips classes. She's the boring bookworm type anyway " Anna added.

" My sister is a talented artist and there's nothing wrong with being the best in what one does. Joleen exceeds every other girl in both brains and looks. She definitely deserves a man who matches her in everything "

John glanced at Edward with a challenging look in his eyes, before Anna spoke her mind in a low envious tone.

" She already has him, Mr. perfect "

"By the way Joleen, our mother reminds you to join the family dinner tonight, so I will pick you up after class "

Joleen grabbed Edward's hand and looked at him while talking.

"There's no need for that brother. Ed will drive me home as usual "

John took another glance at Edward.

 "Hi there, I didn't notice you were here too, I haven't seen you in a long time, Edward "

 John was never a fan of Edward. Ed has always been the perfect only heir of the rich and powerful Hann family. No matter what John did to prove himself, he would always be inferior compared to Edward.

"Hi, John"

Edward replied while checking his phone. His indifferent behavior provoked John even more.

Joleen was looking around when she suddenly spotted a very familiar face.

 "Chris? It's really you! Why are you standing far from us? I almost didn't recognize you! When did you come back from abroad? "

"Hi Jolene, I arrived a couple of days ago. It was a bit hard without you guys there. I missed you "

Chris was John's best friend. An athletic man who won several swimming contests.

Anna approached Chris and whispered.

"Such a weak guy you are, Chris. You have no idea how stupid and pathetic you look when you openly show your one sided love. Your face expression is making me feel nauseous "

Irritated by Anna's venomous words, Chris clenched his fist in anger and took his leave.

" I'm glad you look fine Joleen. Now please excuse me, I have to go to the gym. We'll catch up later "

"Of course! Come by when you're free Chris! we'll defeat John in chess like the old days! " Joleen said waving goodbye.

Anna was John's fiancée and Jolene's classmate back in middle and high school. Anna was a pretty lady from a rich family, also known as a two faced girl with very good acting skills.

"We'll be leaving too little sister, take care "

"See you later sister in law, I will be joining you guys on dinner tonight "

Anna passed by Edward and hushed in a l.u.s.tful voice.

"It would be such a great p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e if you could join us too"
