Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 507
When the door swung open, Gerald could finally get a good look at the manager.
She was walking behind the assistant when Gerald exclaimed, “Ava Anderson? Is that really you?”
Ava Anderson was Gerald’s classmate during junior high. She was the principal’s daughter and also one of the top
students alongside Gerald and Xeno. All three of them had even participated in numerous competitions together.
Though they were pretty close to each other back then, they no longer shared the same class when they entered
senior high.
The first few days upon entering senior high, Ava would still invite Gerald out for lunch since neither of them were

their day had gone.
After those few days, however, Ava started having lunch with her dorm mates instead. This led to them talking less
and less and as time passed, they would eventually only get to meet each other once a week. Their distance further
increased in the following semester, and they would just give a simple greeting whenever they crossed paths.
By the last year of high school, both of them had reverted back to being complete strangers.
Since Ava went to a university in Yanken and Gerald went to Mayberry, it had been approximately three years since
they had last crossed paths.
Ava seemed to be doing quite well on her own. She was able to get the position of manager at such a young age,
after all.
“What brings you here, Gerald?” asked Ava, visibly surprised.
It was an understandable response. After all, it had been so long since they had last met. Ava knew all too well that
their friendship had deteriorated since their high school days and she felt a sudden wave of awkwardness run
through her veins.
“Oh, I’ve just applied for a position. I’ll be working here from now on!” replied Gerald with a smile.
“Oh really now?” She smiled as she skimmed through both of their resumes.
“Look at you Avie, you’re so cool now! You’re a manager!” said Gerald as he stared at her tag.
“Thanks, but do refrain from calling me Avie from now on… You can call me Miss Anderson,” responded Ava slightly
coldly.
“Understood!” Gerald said as he nodded.

“Assistant Valen!” said Ava as she closed the files. “I know we’re short by two employees since this is, after all, a
new team. However, we prefer quality over quantity so I’ll only pick one of you to help out in the team.”
At that moment, Bianca started to panic. Gerald and Ava knew each other so he was definitely getting chosen!
Contrary to how she imagined it, however, Ava glanced coldly at Gerald before turning to look at Bianca. “Miss
Bianca Snow, we require another female here, so welcome to the team!”
“As for you, Gerald…” said Ava as she scanned him from head to toe. “I know that the logistics team is still hiring, so
you should help them out. You’d probably need to run around each department and do errands for them!”
Gerald went silent. He didn’t know what else to say.
The assistant then interrupted, “But Manager Ava, Gerald graduated from Mayberry University…”
“I’m aware, but it just can’t be helped. Our current situation only has this position to offer. What do you say, Gerald?
If you accept, I’ll send you over to logistics first. If you keep up the good work, I’ll bring this up to the directors and
have you join our team later one,” said Ava with a fake smile.
In all honesty, Ava didn’t care for him at all. Even from her high school days, she had come to realize that it was
embarrassing to hang out with Gerald.x
