Chapter 160: Chapter 160

Chapter 160 He Really Did It In the ward, the child was getting an infusion. Adriana stood beside the bed, looking worried.

Cassidy stood opposite her in dark glasses, still looking arrogant. She sneered at Gerald and said, “Five minutes? Are you gonna announce that you would get a call from Human Resources Department in five minutes? Gerald, who do you think you are? Have you forgotten that you’re just an assistant?”

Gerald touched his nose and ignored her.

Adriana’s face was full of worry.

In fact, she did not believe that Gerald was capable of doing so. She was afraid that Gerald would lose his job because of her!

But as she looked at the perfect calmness on Gerald’s face, she began to wonder.

Gerald held her arm and said, “Just sit tight. It’ll be fine.”

Cassidy frowned slightly as she noticed Gerald’s calmness.

But then, she shook her head and thought to herself, it must be a psychological effect. There’s no way he could do that.

Moreover, even if he did, all I would lose is an endorsement or a role. It won’t affect me much.

Cassidy then began to comfort herself.

As time passed, the atmosphere in the ward became a little weird.

Five minutes became a very long period at this point.

It was not easy to get through for Cassidy. At that time, Cassidy’s cell phone suddenly rang. She looked at the caller ID on the phone, which showed “Universe Group-Aidan”, and noticed that Gerald’s phone did not ring at all.

With a slight smile on her face, Cassidy looked at Gerald and said, “Five minutes have passed. Now it looks like you are going to be fired.”

In her opinion, Aidan called her to inform her of the good news.

Therefore, she picked up the phone and answered with a smile, “Hello, Aidan!”

On the other side of the phone, Aidan sighed and said to Cassidy, “Cassidy, I’m sorry to inform you that Mr. Hanson called me just now, and he asked me to cancel the cooperation with you, including the endorsement and movie. Universe Group has taken you off the table.”

“What!” Cassidy’s expression changed drastically as she cried out in alarm.

For her, the endorsement was not a big deal.

In fact, her endorsement of the Universe Group was quite supplementary. What she wanted the most was the movie invested by Universe Group. It was a big-budget production and she was going to work with a great movie director. She had also seen the film script and thought it would be a big hit after releasing it!

“Aidan...” Cassidy was panicked. She quickly asked, “Is there something wrong? How could the group stop working with me? My fame is beyond doubt, and our cooperation will be a win-win situation!”

“There’s nothing I can do about it. It was Mr. Hanson who gave the order,” Aidan helplessly said, “I’m going to get busy now! Bye!”

“Aidan...”

Cassidy still wanted to say something, but all she could hear was a beeping sound from the other side. Mr.

Hanson had already hung up the phone.

“What?” Next to her, Fisher hurriedly came up and asked, “What happened!”

“Universe Group... canceled my endorsement and movie,” Cassidy murmured.

Obviously, she was shocked!

She had specially vacated her schedule for this film. Now that she was fired, it was a great loss for her.

Adriana was also stunned by Cassidy’s words. For a moment, almost everyone looked at Gerald.

Gerald stood there indifferently, touched his nose, and then shrugged his shoulders and said, “You can go out now!”

“Gerald!” Fisher shouted in exasperation.

“You must overcompensate for my loss!” Cassidy burst with anger and shame. She looked at Adriana and said, “320 thousand dollars. You must pay me every penny now. Otherwise, this is not over!”

“We will go through the procedures or insurance as soon as it is needed, but we are in the hospital. Are you going to cause trouble here?” Gerald said, then took out his phone, “That’ll be fine. You always put on a good face in public. I will record a video and then post it online, so your dear fans can see what kind of vicious woman you are!”

Cassidy’s face was distorted by rage when she saw Gerald take out his phone!

Fisher said angrily, “How dare you!”

“Fisher, say no more!” Cassidy said, “Gerald, good for you. It’s all because of that big favor you did for Leandro, isn’t it? You better hope that Leandro can help you for the rest of your life, or I’ll ruin you for sure, we’ll see!”

After saying that, she looked at Gerald with hatred, turned around, and took her people out of the ward!

After they left, Gerald looked at Adriana.

Adriana looked at Gerald in disbelief and said, “Are you... from a distinguished family?”

Gerald smiled and said, “There is nothing special about me. I just happened to have a good relationship with Mr. Hanson of Universe Group. It’s not a big deal to ask him to cancel the cooperation with an actor. Moreover, Cassidy was such a duplicity, which really repels me. You keep staying with your daughter. The rest of it is just a matter of legal process.”

“Thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart!” Adriana looked at Gerald with gratitude, then took out her mobile phone and said, “Could I have your Line?”

Gerald did not refuse. He clicked open Line and found that Daphne had left him quite a lot of messages on Line, and there were several unanswered calls.

After adding Adriana, he said goodbye to Adriana, walked out of the hospital, and then called Daphne back.

“Hello!” Soon, Daphne picked up the phone and asked, “What are you doing? Why aren’t you answering my calls? Are you on a date?”

Gerald scratched his head and said, “No, I was just in the middle of something. What’s wrong?”

“Ingrid is going to leave and go back to Washington. My friends and I are going to give her a farewell dinner tonight. She invited you to join us,” Daphne said.

Gerald nodded and said, “Okay, where is the gathering place?”

“The restaurant where we ate seafood last time,” Daphne said, “At seven o’clock in the evening, we’ll see you then!”

“All right!” Gerald hung up the phone and muttered to himself, “Washington is not far from Sacramento, just a few hours by high-

speed train or an hour by plane. These people are making a big deal out of this.”

He directly took a taxi to the street where they ate seafood last time, then found an Internet bar nearby, played a few games, and after seeing that the time was almost up, he slowly walked toward the destination!

Just entering the restaurant, Gerald saw Daphne and others sitting not far away.

There were eight or nine people sitting at the table, and except for Daphne and Ingrid, most of them were also women. Besides, most of the people were quite pretty.

They sure look like art students! Gerald thought.

Other than that, there was only one man. He was dressed in white and looked quite handsome.

A table full of pretty boys and girls naturally attracted the attention of many people. Occasionally, some people ran over to take a photo with the man.

Gerald also felt that he looked vaguely familiar. He thought he should have seen the man on some software. The man was probably an Internet celebrity, just like Tyrone.

Gerald took the initiative to walk over. When Ingrid saw Gerald, she smiled and said, “You are really a big shot. We are all waiting for you.”

“I arrived early and played games in the Internet bar next to here for a while.” Gerald touched his nose.

Şeveral people looked at Gerald curiously. Daphne briefly introduced Gerald to them and also introduced them to Gerald.

However, Gerald did not care too much, because he didn’t see any chance of their paths crossing in the future.

Gerald was not familiar with most people, so he did not talk much. He just sat there and ate, and listened to them at the same time. For Gerald, his student era had passed too long, he found that he couldn’t get into the conversation.

Ingrid and Daphne saw that Gerald did not talk much, so they would talk to Gerald from time to time to keep him from getting too isolated!

They were sitting next to each other, making the occasional chat seemed a little intimate. When the man opposite Gerald saw this, he frowned and became serious.

Then, the man opened a bottle of wine and said, “Bro, you are the last one to come. You’d better punish yourself with three bottles of wine!”

Gerald looked at him with a look of surprise flashed across his face!
