Chapter 21 A Group of Funny Fellows

Zachariah drove along with Ophelia and arrived at their destination, an agritainment resort located in
the surburbs. Ophelia got out of the car, and saw the LOGO hanging high above the door with a 'Rural
Joys' on it.

'Well, quite a straightforward name.' Ophelia thought to herself.

“It's a property of my friend. Let's go inside.” Zachariah parked the car and approached her, explaining
to her.

With a nod, Ophelia followed him and stepped into the entrance.

It was the moment when they went inside that a decently dressed waitress came forward, gave a deep
bow and said, “Greetings! You must be Mr. Chambers? My boss and his friends are waiting for you
inside.”

Zachariah simply gave a 'yes' to respond.

“Mr. Chambers, please follow me.” The waitress showed gestured “please” in a rather respectful
manner, and reached out one of her arms slightly to lead the way.

Before walking into the agritainment resort, Ophelia thought it was nothing special compared with other
resorts in the countryside.

However, what she saw along the corridor had proven that she was totally wrong. All the graceful and
traditional Eastern decorations along the way showed not only the high level of artistic style, but also
the unmeasurable financial resources available to the owner here.

It seemed that the social backgrounds of Zachariah's friends were by no means lower than the upper
class.



Being led by the waitress to a private room, Ophelia saw six or seven men sitting inside. At a first
glance, she could feel that their eyes of curiosity were on her in return. Fortunately, it seemed that they
soon looked away out of politeness, and she could not feel anything uncomfortable from their eyes.

Since they were close friend of Zachariah, the astomosphere was quite relaxed.

Ophelia could only recognize two of them, as she had met them at the wedding ceremony four years
ago.

“Here you are, Zachariah! And see who you have brought here, I start to understand why you never
take her along with you out. I mean, I will do the same, not letting anyone else to even have a chance
to lay their eyes on my beautiful wife, if I have one.” said a man about twenty six years old, wearing a
gold rimmed spectacles on his gentle face.

Zachariah made the introduction for Ophelia, “You can call him Cuttie, and almost all his families work
in the government. He has been my friend since childhood.”

Ophelia’s hand shot to her mouth to stifle a giggle. Cuttie stepped forwards and gave a punch at
Zachariah's shoulder, and then turned to Ophelia before saying in a cordial tone, “Dear lady, my true
name is Noah Gray, and it's my pleasure to meet you. By the way, your beauty is really far above my
expectation. It's really a pity for such a beautiful woman like you to marry an idiot like Zachariah!”

It seemed undoubtedly that this man was truly in a good relationship with Zachariah, Ophelia thought.

“Greetings, my name is Ophelia Lowe, and you can just call me Ophelia. It's my pleasure to meet you
too.” Ophelia replied with a smile and shook his hand.

Noah covered his chest with his hands exaggeratedly and exclaimed, “Oh, what a graceful manner!
Lucky for you to have such a good lady as your wife, Zachariah!”



Ophelia couldn't help laughing out, thinking that Zachariah’s friend was so funny that one could hardly
tell his essence simply from his appearance.

Others in the room also stood up, and started to introduce themselves to Ophelia one by one. Soon
she realized that they were either extremely rich or extraordinarily influential in the upper class.

One of the men called Chester Elliott laughed and said, “Feel free to not bother yourself arguing with
the silly man called Noah, Mrs. Chambers.”

The Elliott family was engaging in both real estate business and entertainment industry. Being the
young blood of the influential family, Chester had set up a company in his own name and achieved a
remarkable outcome.

If there were a list of those typical youngster with both influential family backgrounds and strong
personal abilities, he would definitely rank top 10 of it.

Ophelia smiled and answered, “I just found that you guys are funnier than I have expected, and now I
don't have to worry about being awkward in front of you.”

Her openness and carefree manner had impressed these men and lightened up the
atmosphere.
