Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 537
The next day arrived.
It was the day of the blind date, which was arranged by Mr. Winters.
Although Gerald did not know what to expect of the outcome, he still took the effort to do some preparations since
he had given his promise to Mr. Winters. He decided to head to Domino’s earlier.
But something happened unexpectedly.
He spotted a girl sitting alone and drinking coke. There were chicken wings and French fries on her table. At that
moment, she was swinging her fair legs, and it seemed like she was waiting for someone.
‘Could it be her?’
Gerald thought to himself.
The girl then put down her fries. She was munching while typing on the phone.
Just at that moment, Gerald received a text message too. It was from Michelle.
“Are you here yet?”
Again, Gerald thought to himself: ‘As expected, it is that girl.’
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOn first impressions, she was quite pretty.
So Gerald went ahead and slid into the seat opposite her.
“What… are you doing?” That girl was clearly shocked.
She looked at Gerald in a daze.
“Are you here for a blind date?” Gerald asked her.
“What blind date? Are you out of your mind?” The girl stared at Gerald, her eyes frozen with fear.
“Eh? Wait, you’re not Michelle? But didn’t you send a text message to me just now?” Gerald was stupefied.
“I don’t know who Michelle is. I was sending a Line message to my boyfriend. Do you understand?” The girl replied
in a shrill tone.
“Oh, I’m so sorry. I made a mistake!”
Gerald stood up in awkwardness.
‘D*mn it! If I knew earlier, I would have called first.’ He cringed.
As he was about to call Michelle, suddenly someone tapped him on his shoulders lightly.
He turned around and was stunned to see another gorgeous girl in front of him.
She blinked her large eyes and looked right into Gerald’s.
“Are you Gerald? Are you here to meet someone?” The girl carefully asked.
“Yes, I am. And you are…?”
“Xabrina!”
“Eh?”
“I’m Xabrina’s elder sister—Michelle!” Xabrina quickly concealed the blunder.
She then sneered. “Did you mistake someone else as me just now?” Xabrina asked him in a slight contemptuous
tone.
Well, that was the plain truth.
The moment she entered Domino’s, she was just in time to witness the whole scene unfold.
It was too awkward.
Hence, Xabrina just stood aside and watched from afar. She did not go over to greet him as she felt extremely
awkward.
She even concluded to herself that Gerald was indeed strange.
But Xabrina decided to hurry up since she needed only less than five minutes to send him away and wrap up this
issue for her sister.
Gerald sat across from Xabrina.
Gerald only needed to take a few glances at Xabrina to know that she was probably an empty flower pot—pretty on

On the other hand, Xabrina locked her gaze on Gerald and sized him up.
She had some inner thoughts as she stared at him:
‘Gerald is actually quite good-looking, to be honest. If only his family background were better, it would have been
excellent for him to be my brother-in-law.’
‘But unfortunately, he’s so poor. How would my sister ever fall in love with him?
‘In fact, if it weren’t for grandpa forcing my sister to get married so soon, certainly my sister would not be so
anxious about looking for a boyfriend.’
‘Plus, there are indeed so many bees trying to gain my sister’s attention, just that she doesn’t fancy any of them!’
“So, I’ve heard about your condition. You still haven’t found a job, right? That means that you don’t have any salary.
Besides, I heard that you’d bought a house in Serene County. But I’ve been transferred to work in Mayberry, so it
means that I’ll be working in Mayberry soon. What are your plans in terms of living arrangements?”
Xabrina asked him.
She thought that it would be better to get straight to the point.
“Is that so? If you’re talking about Mayberry, I do have a house there.”
“What? You own a house in Mayberry? How large is it?”
Xabrina asked curiously.
“I’m not too sure about the details. Besides, I never stay there!” Gerald chuckled.
