The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2210
Upon seeing how many people had gathered, the guard couldnât help but declare, âAll of you! Get this, these two claimed to know our consortiumâs chairman! Not only that, but after âgiving him a callâ they said that heâs coming down to meet them soon! Wait along to see if he actually comes! If he doesnâtâ¦
Then join me in kicking them out!â
âThey what now? Hey, do you two even know how famous our chairman is? How the hell could anyone like you two ever deserve to meet him!â
âI know right? Just kick them out while you can! Who knows where these maniacs are from!â scoffed the surrounding individuals who all worked at the Fareast Consortium.
They were right to be doubtful. After all, despite working here for so long, they themselves hardly ever got the chance to see the chairman, though this was most probably because the chairman was always abroad and making more business deals. Even then, these were the luckier few who even got the chance to catch glimpses of him in the flesh.
Many within the consortium had never even seen the chairman before, save for his photograph in the lobby. At best, they would be able to catch glimpses of his exclusive helicopter touching down atop their building.
Whatever the case was, after hearing their comments, Aiden couldnât help but blush as he asked, âHow long is it going to take for Derrick to come down, Geraldâ¦?â
Honestly, if Gerald wasnât by his side, he wouldâve already started arguing with them. However, he knew better than to behave that way with Gerald here, so he was forced to keep quiet, naturally making him extremely sulky about the situation.
Gerald himself hardly took their comments seriously, so be simply replied, âJust wait for a bit.â
Finally, about ten minutes later, the buildingâs doors were opened by a security guard and out jogged a suited middle aged man with a slick back hairstyle. Honestly, he was moving so quickly that he nearly toppled down the stairs!
Regardless, upon seeing him, everyone was quickly stunned. After all, the person was none other than Derrick! Some of them even did double takes since they werenât used to seeing him in person!
Either way, upon seeing Gerald, Derrick straightened his suit before enthusiastically walking up to him while saying, âGerald! It truly has been ages since we last met!â
Chuckling in response, Gerald simply replied, âOh, I couldâve met you ten minutes earlier if your subordinates had just allowed me in!â
Naturally, Derrick immediately caught onto what Gerald was implying. With that, he quickly turned to face his employees before growling, âListen here! This man goes by Mr. Gerald Crawford, and heâs a very important friend of mine! If you dare block him from entering again, youâll instantly be fired! Got that?â
âL-loud and clearâ¦!â whimpered the frightened employees who were frozen in fear. To think that these two ordinary men actually knew their chairmanâ¦! Had they not witnessed this with their own eyes, they surely wouldnât have believed any of this!
Upon hearing their response, Derrick then turned his gaze toward Gerald again before saying, âNow that thatâs settled⦠Please come this way, Gerald. Honestly, you arrived just in time! I just returned from the Western Union a few hours ago, you know? Had you arrived before then, I wouldâve surely had to make you wait even longer!â
âI see⦠Could I be disturbing your test right now?â replied Gerald with a smile.
âNot at all! Truth be told, Iâve been looking forward to your visit for ages! While I wouldâve paid you a visit myself, I know how busy you can get. What more, youâre always moving around, so I figured that itâd be best for me to wait for you instead. Itâs the reason why I havenât made a move even after all these years. I really hope you donât mind that!â
