The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1428
Zack had initially thought that though Gerald had managed to find out about his true identity on his own, itâd still take quite a while for him to complete the transition. After all, Mr. Crawford had been raised in poverty for as long as he lived!
With that in mind, Zack had prepared himself to be greeted by a rather embarrassed, and honest Mr.
Crawford. Now that Gerald was before him, however, he couldâve never expected him to be someone so driven and courageous. What more, Gerald had a rather strong pressuring aura surrounding him at all times!
While it wasnât aimed at anyone in particular, it was enough to make those surrounding Gerald feel that it was hard to breathe.
âBingo. Also, I donât just want you to buy it for me, but I also need you to hire an engineering team to begin excavating Mountain Top. Immediately. Letâs just say that thereâs a massive boulder inside thatâs extremely useful to me⦠Regardless, youâll have six days to complete your task. Is there anything else youâd like to ask?â instructed Gerald.
ââ¦N-not at all⦠Iâll get it done immediately!â replied Zack.
Though he had initially thought about asking Gerald about his motive, he quickly retracted his words before they were able to leave his mouth. At the end of the day, Zack was an experienced man who knew what he should question and what he shouldnât.
Now that Gerald had made all the appropriate arrangements, Gerald simply needed to wait for the next few days.
With Gerald now obtaining a bit of free time till then, he found himself thinking that he wasnât going to have another shot at traveling to the past once all this was over. With that in mind, he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make up for all the regrets that Mila had throughout her time with him.
Though Gerald had constantly told Mila that he would make her the happiest woman in the world once they got married, he never really managed to achieve that. After all, she had gone missing before he could properly give her anything.
Due to that, Gerald didnât even care if both of them werenât a couple yet at this point in time. Couple or not, he was going to make sure that he made her feel extremely happy and blissful throughout their six short days together.
With that in mind, Gerald then returned to the milk tea shop on campus before ordering, âBoss, Iâd like a cup of milk tea!â
ââ¦You⦠You still havenât had enough? Do you even have the money for it? Are you trying to give me more trouble?â muttered the slightly worried boss.
Hearing that, Gerald simply fished out a hundred-dollar banknote before placing it in front of the boss.
âKeep the change!â
Eyes-widened, the shocked boss then replied, ââ¦Did⦠Did you steal thisâ¦?â
âWhile itâs true that your milk tea is delicious, you truly spout a bit too much nonsense⦠Just hurry up!â
muttered Gerald, feeling speechless.
ââ¦R-right! Coming right up!â announced the boss, deciding not to question things any further.
After being handed his milk tea, Gerald then held onto the cup before walking toward the Department of Broadcasting and Hosting.
At the time, there was a male teacher teaching in Milaâs classroomâ¦
When the classroom door was suddenly pushed open, everyone inside couldnât help but turn to look at who it was⦠Upon realizing that it was Geraldâof all peopleâwith a cup of milk tea in hand, everyone was instantly stunned.
After all, Gerald was famous among those in the University for being a pathetic and penniless pauper.
Why had he come all the way to the Department of Broadcasting and Hosting?
âPst! Mila! Look there, itâs him!â
Mila herself had still been taking notes at that moment, but after getting nudged by her friend, she instantly saw what was going on.
As she felt her beautiful face turn slightly reddened, the teacher removed his glasses before coldly asking, ââ¦And what exactly are you doing, boy? Why did you come to our class?â
Choosing to simply ignore him, Gerald then slid a hand into his pocket before slowly walking toward Mila⦠And placing the cup of milk tea before her.
âI owed you a cup of milk tea, so Iâm returning it to you now!â
Hearing that, howls and gasps of surprise began coming from the rest of Milaâs classmates! Was the pauper actually trying to get the beauty?
Everyone felt that the dramatic scene unfolding before their very eyes was simply unreal!
ââ¦T-thereâs no need to return it to meâ¦! Regardless, you should hurry and leave firstâ¦!â replied Mila who had been caught completely off guard by all this. Seeing her all dazed, the rest of the male students in her class instantly shot dirty glances at Gerald.
âOh, but before I do, know that I still owe you two other things! While I donât know when Iâll be able to return them to you, Iâll eventually fulfill both wishes!â declared Gerald in a serious tone.
âW-what other two thingsâ¦?â asked Mila meekly.
âFirst off, I owe you a promise! Secondly, my heart!â
