Chapter 412
The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 412
He couldnât very well go around telling everyone that he was rich, like some fool whoâd just won the lottery, and try to show up everyone, right?
Feh. What would that achieve?
âHeaven have mercy! Geraldâs actually found himself a girlfriend?â One of the guys exclaimed. âHoly hell, this is big news! Weâve got a high school reunion coming up in a few days, right? Everyone will be floored when they hear about this!â
âGosh, what sort of girl would take a fancy to him? Oh, no⦠whoâs grandma is it?â Sully shook her head, and took a sip of her juice.
This elicited a round of merry laughter from everyone at her table.
Morgana watched Gerald with a growing sense of disquiet. Then she said, âGerald, today weâre actually celebrating my promotion at workâto the Reserve Department, no less. Cameronâs my guest here today. How many friends of yours will be coming? Iâd be glad to have them join us.â
âNo, I canât accept that. There may be seven or eight of them!â Gerald said with a laugh.
So Morgana had finally settled that problem of hers. He remembered bumping into Zack Lyle, there.
However, Zack hadnât followed up with him on that matter, probably because he considered it too minor to be worth his attention.
As for her recent stroke of good fortune⦠Gerald couldnât say if that was thanks to him, or Cameron.
As such, he didnât offer any comments, only nodded. Then he took a seat at the next table.
Honestly, he felt embarrassed to be here, too. However, the restaurant was packed right now, and there were no other tables available further awayâeven if there were, it would be too awkward to switch places now. Neither could he just walk out of hereâ¦
He could only sit there and sweat.
Just then, Giya and Tammy entered. Following after them, besides Tammyâs cousin, were also two other guys and girls eachâpresumably Tammyâs aforementioned distant relatives.
âWow, wow, wow! Babes! Hot babes!â Cameron and the other guys had noticed the new arrivals, and were too stunned to do much more than gape. Such beauty as had suddenly graced this hall!
âWho are they? Theyâre smoking hot! Absolute, top-tier charisma!â One guy beside Cameron noted.
âHmph! Theyâre not that hot. Theyâre just really tall and sorta skinny. Pah!â Sully actually thought Giya and Tammy looked like celebrity supermodels, and had been moved by envy to speak.
As for that girl in the heavy make-up, sitting on Cameronâs other side⦠Compared to the girls whoâd just walked in, she looked like a party clown.
âAnyone got the stones to go ask for their numbers? Whoever steps up, I shall know him as my lord!â
The guy who said this was positively drooling.
And then, all eyes turned to Cameron.
After all, whether in terms of family background, or career prospects⦠he was the alpha!
Cameron was already getting up from his seat. He cleared his throat, smoothed out his shirtâ¦
âWatch this. Iâm going in!â
âOh, yeah! Cameron rocks!â
âAll our hopes ride with you, my lord!â
But Cameron had already intercepted the targets. âHey there, sweet things⦠Here for lunch? Found a table yet? Maybe I could be of assistanceâI come here all the time!â They were even more dazzling up close. Cameronâs heart was racing out of control.
âWeâre fine, thanks!â Giya and Tammy calmly deflected his advances. Something about him just put them off.
Cameron fished out his phone. âAhem⦠Could I ask you ladies for your numbers? Call me Cameron.
You may have heard of my familyââ
âHeâs over there! Come on, letâs go!â Spying her target across the hall, Tammy completely ignored Cameron, and led her entourage straight towards Gerald.
