“Did I tell you I would invite you for the wedding?" Raphael scoffed in a mocking tone. “Miss Evans, except for the fact that we are former classmates, I don't think we are that close. Or are we?"

Olivia was stunned to hear him say this, and her eyes became filled with tears.

She knew that Raphael was deliberately embarrassing her. Truly, it was working. She felt highly embarrassed right now. But so what? She had already gone through worse, so she didn't give a damn anymore.

"You're right," she said with a faint smile. "There is no need for us to be in frequent contact since you're just an old acquaintance."

She paused for a moment. Then she added, "I have an appointment, so I have to leave now. I wish you two a happy married life in advance."

Olivia looked and sounded so graceful.

When she walked past them and went upstairs, Raphael kept staring at her receding figure. His face was practically trembling with anger.

For a long time, even after Olivia had gone out of sight, Raphael didn't look away, nor did he give a damn about the beautiful woman that was standing right beside him.

“You still can't get her out of your mind, can you?" Sharon asked in a low voice.

Immediately, Raphael stepped away from her and let go of her waist.

Still, Sharon couldn't help but continue to speak her mind, "I hope you're not mad at me? I just think that that woman has negatively affected you in too many ways. In the first place, you should never have been with such a snobbish person who longs only for wealth and power. Whenever I remember how she almost ruined you at that time, I always wish I could-"

But Raphael cut her off. "Go and get changed into something else. This dress doesn't fit you."

"Why?" she asked in surprise. "I think it suits me very well."

"I don't like this color," Raphael complained. "Besides, it's not okay for someone your age to wear something like this. We're attending a business banquet. I don't think it's appropriate for you to appear there dressed like this. Just go change into something formal."

With that, he turned around and left.

But Sharon looked quite sullen. She remembered back when they were in school, Olivia once wore a pink silk dress. At that time, Olivia didn't even know that Raphael existed. But when she asked someone to take photos of her, Raphael, who usually Liked to distance himself from others, volunteered to take the picture for Olivia.

Standing under the shade of the trees, Olivia looked gorgeous in her pink dress.

Since that time till now, the photo had remained in Raphael's wallet.

Sharon found it surprising that Raphael still had a crush on Olivia even after so many years had passed.

But why?!
