Chapter 183: Sudden Appearance (1)
"I’m really envious of Evan! He finally got Rose’s heart after so many years trying to woo her...." James said as he sipped his red wine.
Since their first year of college and always in the same class, Evan knows how to exactly pursue Rose. Even then, Rose’s eyes were only on her crush from other faculties.
"I know, right! I thought Rose would end up with that boy band! What’s his name?" Danny asked.
"Dustin Moses!" Oliver chipped in as he raised his hand to call a waitress. His mind suddenly fields with that stupid Dustin, his best friend in high school. Because Dustin was too greedy, Oliver decided to take another path and distance their friendship. Now, his poor friend has died miserably.
"You know him!?" Randy raises his brown slightly. Surprised to know Oliver knows Rose’s crush, Dustin Moses.
"Tsk, Randy! Did you know?" James chuckled as he shook his head. "Rose and Oliver have been friends since they were in high school!? Of course, Oliver knows Dustin. Rose has had a crush on that man since high school! Right Oliver?" James looked at Oliver opposite.
"Well, what James said is true. Dustin is my best friend. However, our friendship began to drift apart during college." Oliver slowly lifted the red wine glass he had just gotten from the waiter and quickly emptied it. Looking at all of them still staring at him, he chuckled. "Man... stop talking about a dead man. Some say it’s not nice...."
"What, he died!? Already? When? How?" James and the others were surprised to hear that.
Oliver could only nod while turning his gaze to Rose. As Rose’s best friend, he felt happy when Dustin had gone from her life. She deserved a kind and loving man like Evan to stay beside her. Dustin was like a tremor in Rose’s life. He never agreed when Rose chased Dustin, but that girl never listened to everything he told her about Dustin. In fact, Rose accuses him of having a crush on her and wanting to separate herself from Dustin. Gosh!
Remembering their past makes Oliver’s head feel hurt. He needs more wine to make him feel better. He raises his hand again to call the waitress, making the three men nearby widen their eyes in surprise.
