They were all my pals from the orphanage where I grew up.
"Amora, happy birthday!"
When the door to the private room opened and Gavin was holding a delicate present box bag, his eyes fell on me.
My best friend prodded my arm and said, "Amora, Gavin came here especially today because he heard you were having a birthday," with a smile.
For some time, Gavin McGath, a senior in my college major, also made a concerted attempt to court me.
I immediately rejected Gavin because my thoughts and feelings were on Trevor at the time.
"Birthday gift, I hope you will like it."
Gavin gave me the gift and sat down next to me.
I smiled politely, "Thank you."
Following the welcomes, the mood abruptly brightened.
Gavin seemed to have mustered up his courage, cleared his throat and asked carefully, "Amora, can I ask for your number?"
Everyone knew that Trevor and Rachel had officially announced their relationship.
Those who intended to use me to get close to Trevor have long since vanished in a matter of days.
In the economic world, it was common to swoon over the powerful.
