Chapter 395

Because of what had happened, they gave Gerald a good scolding.

It made Gerald quite embarrassed.

F*cking hell, it was Douglas who did not hold the glass properly, and they were all coming after him?

But Gerald understood.

Heh.

It was downright obvious that the unfair treatment was because Douglas held some special status and Gerald was just a nobody.

“It’s not Gerald’s fault, I was the one who didn’t hold the glass properly. By the way, Gerald, you’re not working yet, are you?” Douglas smiled as he asked Gerald.

“No.” Gerald shook his head.

“That’s not good, didn’t you find anyone to pull some strings for you? Why didn’t you find any?” Douglas looked surprised.

“Connections are hard to maintain nowadays unless you’ve strong ones. Just like Leila’s current job, I wasted a huge deal of effort just to find it for her!” Willie said bluntly. He immediately disclosed that piece of information.

“I’m good, thanks!” Gerald replied.

“Hmm, I don’t think that will be good, let me help you out. Right, Yorick, wasn’t your dad looking for two young security guards for his factory? I think Gerald should sign up for that, I mean look at him, he looks like a loyal person and I think he will do a pretty good job!” Douglas pointed at him.

“Pfft!” Everyone at the table burst into laughter when they heard that.

Leila rolled her eyes at Gerald. “How can Gerald be a security guard when he’s a graduate from Mayberry University?”

“I know right, my friends will laugh if I tell them about this!”

“I don’t think he’ll be able to look for a girlfriend after that!”

Several girls laughed. Only Cindy was silent at the table.

“Hmph, our family’s business is quite strict when it comes to choosing security guards, we want someone capable, not trash!”

Upon hearing the group of girls, Yorick thought that asking Gerald to work for their family was quite condescending, and they were mocking his family’s enterprise. He immediately retorted.

“Yeah, you shouldn’t think of that just because Yorick’s family enterprise is the nearest here. Honestly, it doesn’t matter whether he’s a college student or not. In today’s society, university graduates are everywhere, and most workplaces don’t distinguish between the rich and the poor. What’s wrong with being a security guard?”

“Being a security guard is also a popular profession required in many places!” Douglas said with a serious face.

“Well said Douglas, I didn’t expect you to have so many insights and be so matured at such a young age! You guys shouldn’t laugh, because what Douglas had said makes sense, so you guys should learn more from him!” Willie added.

The crowd nodded their heads with stifled laughter.

Gerald did not enjoy the meal. He was getting picked on the entire time. He wanted to lash out at them, but it would be humiliating for him to do so.

Deep inside, he told himself to forget about it. He was just here to grant his father’s wish.

Although they looked down on father. His father is a peculiar person who likes to reminisce about the past. It did not matter to him even if you disliked him.

He simply forced a smile as he swallowed the food.

After finishing the meal, Willie had an idea. “Right, how about you guys hang out in the karaoke bar for the rest of the afternoon? Don’t stay out too long and come home early, so that your family will be at ease!”

“Got it, dad!”

“Don’t worry Mr. Jung, I’m here, so I’ll keep an eye on them!” Douglas reassured with a smile.

“Hmm, that’s why I’m so relieved that you’re here, Douglas!” Willie smiled and nodded his head.

Douglas looked at Gerald again. “Right, Gerald, we’ll head to the karaoke bar later, you should come along too! Are you free this afternoon?”

“No, I won’t be joining, you guys should go ahead and have fun!”

Is he being serious? Of course, Gerald will not go! Although Leila was quite pretty, he felt like he was not in the right circle while being with them.

“Don’t overthink, Gerald. After having a meal together, of course, we have to go out and have some fun together! Unless the reason is that you don’t like us, do you, Gerald?” Douglas said.

There was a hint of displeasure on his face.

The real reason why he asked Gerald to hang out with them was that he intended to use him to relieve boredom.

Was that not how people are? Once they become capable, they would pick on the weaker ones to make fun of.

When Willie saw the displeasure in Douglas’ face, he added on.

“Gerald, I suggest you’d better go with them. Can’t you read what’s going on? Douglas is quite an important person, and what about you? Now that he has invited you to come along, why won’t you just accept his kind offer!”

“All right, I’ll go.”

Gerald was unable to brush them off.

Especially the girl next to her. Cindy kept looking at him, hoping that he would come along to have some fun together.

And Willie’s persistence. Gerald thought that he would just go with them, maybe he would just ignore their petty remarks.

Hmph.

A short while later, the group of them were waiting downstairs. Douglas and Yorick had their cars ready. The two men drove the group in their cars.
