Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 523
“I’m so sorry, Gerald! Please forgive me!” said Mina while bowing toward Gerald as though she was deeply
regretting her past actions. Gerald was surprised, to say the least, at her sudden change of attitude. He wasn’t
alone either, as the entire department was staring at her in shock as well.
“Please, Gerald! I really want a ticket… Could you sell one to me?” said Mina in a soft tone as she stared into
Gerald’s eyes. She was Kai’s hardcore fan, so she was willing to give anything just to be able to see him perform
live.
Gerald was rightfully hesitant since he was, after all, mad at her before this. Normally, he would choose to ignore
her at all costs. However, she now seemed to be truly sorry for her past actions, and seeing that softened Gerald’s
heart. So be it, he would grant her, her wish.
“Just take one. I have plenty anyway!” replied Gerald as he handed her a ticket. Mina’s eyes glimmered with
immense gratitude and she bowed again toward him as she took the ticket from his hand.

“M-me too!”
“Gerald, could you sell some to us? We’re colleagues after all, aren’t we?”
From what Gerald could see, there were about seven other girls who were hardcore fans like Mina. They
surrounded him instantly, displaying big puppy dog eyes to ensure that they would each get a ticket.
More of Gerald’s other colleagues started crowding around him as well, and with fangirls coming from all four
teams, the total headcount easily amounted to thirty people. However, Gerald didn’t have that many tickets on
hand at that moment.
He had no choice but to place the stack of tickets on his desk before saying, “I won’t be needing so many anyway,
so take one each and have fun!”
Hearing that, all the girls gasped before rushing over to his table to grab their tickets.
Ava, on the other hand, hadn’t budged from her initial spot. She was staring at Gerald with mixed emotions brewing
within her. Gerald hadn’t mentioned how he had gotten his hands on all those tickets, but she knew that the ticket
prices were soaring high.
‘How much money had he used to get his hands on so many tickets?
‘And he’s giving them away so nonchalantly!
‘Could he have won the lottery?’
All these thoughts filled Ava’s head and she felt as though she was being crushed by a boulder. Just the day before,
Nathaniel had told her to remove Gerald from the party list. Ava had done so without the slightest hesitation since
she was well aware of how Nathaniel was trying to get everyone to boycott Gerald. With any luck, Gerald would be
out of sight and out of mind soon enough, but oh how the tables had turned now.
If she were to be completely honest, Ava wanted a ticket herself. However, she dismissed the thought and
immediately returned to her work. She simply couldn’t bring herself to beg someone—especially a person whom
she looked down on—for something she wanted.
Moving back to Nathaniel, he had reached rock bottom with his luck. Not only did he fail to ask Bianca out, he had
also been relieved of his position as the vice team leader. Under Mr. Briggs’s orders, he was now under probation
as well.
When lunchtime came, the employee’s canteen filled up quickly as usual. The girls from the marketing department

“Hey girls, do you think that Gerald’s secretly a billionaire? Like, those low-profile ones? Maybe he’s just here to
experience the working life of an average Joe in our company!” exclaimed a girl as she held on to her ticket.
“Huh? That’s a bold claim… Do you have anything to back that up with?” asked another female employee as the
group of girls huddled closer together.
“Well, just think about it! How much would all those tickets have cost? And they’re not just any regular tickets either.
Gerald was able to secure twenty T zone tickets when we were all struggling to even get ones for the last row! What
more, he simply gave them out to us like they didn’t even matter to him. I bet he still has many more on him!”
“You’re right! Who do you think he really is? I bet he’s just trying to humble himself down, don’t you think, girls?”
asked yet another colleague.
“I believe so too! He must be quite a powerful person! He’s definitely far from what someone had described him to
be like during the party! Hah, imagine thinking for a second that Gerald was actually broke as a joke!” added a fifth
girl as she looked toward Ava.
Ava had been sitting within listening distance and she had been visibly annoyed throughout their conversation about
Gerald.
“I know right? Half of the party was just her bad-mouthing Gerald. The audacity of some people!” This time, it was
Mina who spoke. Ava Anderson knew clear as day that they were all referring to her.
