Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 315
“What’s the big news?”
Gerald froze. However, hearing that his sister would be coming, he thought back to one year ago, when she and
both his parents had gone abroad to work off some debts, and how he’d never seen them since. This was a truly
exciting prospect.
Of course, that was just a story they’d made up to tell him.
“Ahahaha…you’ll find out when I tell you! Alright, eat your dinner!”
Doot… doot…With that, Jessica had hung up.
Zack Lyle and Michael Zeke were turning pale. “Mr Crawford? Will Director Jessica be coming here?”
“Yup, that’s right!” Gerald replied. “Three days from now! No idea why!”
The two men looked as though they were going to be ill. They must be terrified of his sister.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNext, Gerald had dinner with them and talked about simpler things.
Three or four hours crawled slowly by.
“I say, where are you, Gerald?” Felicity just called him directly. She sounded most displeased.
Gerald checked the time. Whoops, it was already well past eight!
There was a rule at these hot springs: After sunset, no one was to make too much noise. Remembering that time
when some celebrity starlet was trying to sneak a dip in the baths, and nearly started a fight with him…
…what more a grand function like tonight.
“Oh! I’ll bring the car around right away!” Hanging up, he fetched the car and picked up Felicity and friends, who
were ready to leave for the night.
“Blast! Did you do this on purpose, Gerald? What did I instruct you? When the party’s about to finish, have the car
ready nearby! Instead, you were nowhere to be found!” The moment she got into the car, Felicity started chewing
his ear off.
“On purpose? Perish the thought! It’s just that you forbade me from stepping inside there, so how was I to know
when the party would be ending?” Gerald whined.
“Y-y-you…just for that, you’re only getting half pay tonight!” Yvonne snapped.
“Gosh, what an utter failure you are!”
When the guests came out, some of the other drivers had already been standing by at the entrance, but where had
hers been? Even when she’d walked all the way out to the car, the man himself had been nowhere in sight. The
shame of it!
“I’ll drop you ladies off at our campus and then I’ll return this car!” Gerald muttered.
“Back to campus? Forget that!” Yvonne snapped. “We haven’t had enough fun yet tonight—we want to head to
Emperor so we can sing all night long. Am I right, Felicity?”
It had actually been a marvellous evening already, and they’d gotten to see Wayfair Mountain Entertainment.
However, the girls were reluctant to call it a night, including Cassandra.
Especially Cassandra. Several of Felicity’s superiors had gotten her drinks and even asked for her number. Back
then, she would have only been too delighted.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNow, though, her heart belonged to Ordinary Man.
Nevertheless, she’d felt very flattered.
“Yeah, send us to Emperor Karaoke, then return the car!” Cassandra said pleasantly.
There was nothing for it but to do as he’d been told before finally driving himself back to campus.
“Gosh…what do you think? A guy like Gerald—what kind of woman would be willing to be with him?”
In their own private room, the girls were drinking and chatting together as music played.
For want of a better topic of conversation, their thoughts strayed back to Gerald.
“Heh! Speaking honestly, a guy like him has no hope of getting himself a girlfriend. Even if he gets married one day,
it won’t be to any great beauty, and even if she is, she’ll most likely be used goods. The reasons are simple—one,
he’s dead broke; and two, he’s a total loser!” Felicity was drunk now and spoke with little restraint.
“You’re wrong… Gerald has a girlfriend! You may not be aware of this, but…she’s a radio DJ and she’s really
pretty!” Naomi didn’t feel comfortable listening to them insult Gerald like this.
“Pah. Wasn’t Xavia pretty too? And what happened there?” Yvonne sneered, then perked up as she broached
another topic. “Oh, yeah! Speaking of which…Felicity, what kind of guy are you looking for?”
“Oh, me? Well…he’s gotta be hot, of course—that’s one. Two, he has to be able to afford me. Three, um…someone
from an influential family. Four, someone nice. Five, willing to spend lots of money on me. Six…”
“Good heavens, couldn’t you just say that you’re looking for someone like Ordinary Man?”
