Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 203

The first thing Gerald did was contact Jane Zara.

Although Jane wanted money, she still got along with it. As long as Gerald asked for her help, she was willing to lend a hand.

As expected, she came immediately after the phone call.

Only then did Gerald wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and dialed Mila’s number.

“Sorry, the number you dialed is off…”

Her phone was turned off again!

Gerald sent her a message on WeChat.

As expected, he was blocked and his number was deleted.

Ugh!

Gerald blamed himself even more now.

He blamed himself more than yesterday for saying the wrong thing. He had no idea how to explain things to Mila regarding his lateness.

After Gerald returned to college, he even went to look for Mila a few times, but he ended up getting the door shut right in his face.

She did not even look at him at all.

He was afraid that this cold war would last for an eternity.

Gerald walked around the campus by himself, stopping at a small park and resting there for a while.

Dealing with relationship issues really left him a little overwhelmed.

One thing he had learned today was that girls actually did not mean it if they said ‘No’.

He immediately thought of Xavia Yorke.

They used to come to this small park too.

They would both take a stroll here, hand in hand.

Then, Gerald had mustered up the courage to ask Xavia if they could have sex.

Smack!

“Scram! Gerald, what kind of girl do you take me for?”

Gerald remembered that he had gotten slapped and scolded by Xavia.

It was obvious that she did not want to.

From her attitude, she really meant to say no!

It made him quite self-conscious at that time. Xavia was indeed a good girl, but why did things turn out that way? On the contrary, Gerald treated her even better after that incident.

Now that he thought about it…

Heh, girls…

He was wondering where Xavia is and what she is doing at the moment.

The scenery made him emotional. He could not help himself but think of Xavia again.

But the memories were slowly fleeting.

Just like that, he sat in the park until it was five o’clock in the afternoon.

Then, Gerald’s phone rang. It was from Jane Zara.

“Gerald, wher…where are you?”

Based on Jane’s tone, she sounded both anxious and weeping.

Gerald felt his nerves tighten. Could something bad have happened to Yasmin?

“I’m at college, I’ll be on my way to the hospital now. I’ll get you some food along the way. Jane, is anything wrong?”

Gerald asked.

“Gerald, something happened to me this afternoon. It’s my mother. Geez, at first, I thought she was messing with me and I clearly told her no, but look what happened now. My mother actually booked a banquet in Mayberry for me to meet my blind date!”

“Gerald, I really don’t want to go, I’m still so young, don’t you think so too?”

Jane cried out.

Gerald was relieved after hearing this.

Turns out, it was just a forced blind date kind of situation.

To be honest, it was not the first time it had happened to Gerald.

It was rather not that surprising to him at all.

It was almost time for his graduation after all. Jane had graduated some time ago, and somewhere in life, they would have to experience the same thing which other people would also have to face.

Blind dates were one of those things.

“You really don’t want to go, do you?”

“Umm, I really don’t want to, but what do you think I should do? Now that my mom has set up a banquet, my blind date is already there! This isn’t exactly a blind date since families and friends from both sides are expected to be there for a meal together!”

“Okay, I’ll go with you later. I’ll return the favor this time!”

Gerald said blandly.

“Ah? For real? Mr. Crawford, you’re the best! Then, will you go as my boss or my friend? Or…”

“Let’s just say I’m your friend!”

Gerald smiled bitterly.

Since Jane had helped him today, it was only right that he should return the small favor.
