The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 421
âHere comes Xella!â said Rae as she and the others smiled toward Xella.
âHave you waited for a long time, Gerald?â asked Xella, smiling as she looked at him.
âNot at all!â replied Gerald.
Xella was dressed charmingly that day. She was certainly the kind of woman who could bewitch others with a single glance.
However, Gerald knew better and actively stopped himself from thinking unnecessary thoughts.
âSpeaking of which, Xella, I looked at the group chat yesterday. The others were discussing how you had landed a great job. How did you manage to get into the Dream Investment Group? I heard that a billion dollars were required for the registered capital!â said Rae, a slight jealousy projected in her voice.
Initially, Rae was considered much better compared to her other classmates in the group.
Since she was now dating the tycoon whose family owned a few shops, she was considered quite well-
to-do and she was proud of that.
She had a great life as well.
However, comparing herself to Xella, she felt like a small fry.
Everyone knew that the Dream Investment Group was established with the funds provided by Mr.
Crawford from Mayberry. In the near future, it was planned to become a large development project in Serene County. Whoever managed to enter the group would continue their efforts even though they had to pay about one to two billion dollars that year.
Naturally, when the news was shared in the group chat, everyone became excited.
It was a sign that Serene County was going to undergo some drastic changes soon.
âI just so happened to be recruited by the company. Iâm not too sure how its development will end up being and to be frank, I donât have much confidence either. Besides, itâs not like Iâm working in the headquarters of Dream Investment Group. Iâm just working in a subsidiary investment holding company under them, itâs not as mysterious and good as most people say!â said Xyla as she smiled bitterly.
âThatâs still quite an exceptional post, Xella! You donât have to be modest!â replied Rae, her jealousy more apparent in her voice now.
Gerald on the other hand, was standing beside them and he appeared quite shocked.
So Xella had been recruited by a subsidiary company under Dream Investment Company.
And who owned the Dream Investment Company?
It was, of course, Gerald!
No wonder Xella and the others were there the other day! After completing the procedures for the opening ceremony, he had bumped into them in the main square just outside the hall.
Quite a few celebrities had attended the carnival the day before so it hadnât crossed Geraldâs mind that Xella was involved with the Dream Investment Company.
With her role as an employee of the subsidiary company under Geraldâs, it was definitely alright for her to bring along a few friends to enjoy themselves there.
Gerald couldnât help but think to himself, âWhat a great coincidence!â
âSince weâre all here, letâs get on the bus together!â said Xella.
âItâs fine, someoneâs picking us up later! Actually Xella, why donât you come with us instead?â
Just as Xella was about to reply, her phone started ringing.
The moment she picked up, she stepped to the side before saying something, a blush forming on her cheeks. She continued talking for a while before finally hanging up.
âYour boyfriend?â asked Gerald with a smile. He couldnât help it, seeing her face all shy and flustered.
âWhat are you talking about? Iâm single! Thatâs just a friend!â she replied with a smile though her voice was quivering awkwardly.
Gerald shook his head with a smile before fishing his car keys out. He was ready to drive her to the gathering.
All of a sudden, a new white Audi A4L could be seen and heard dashing toward the bus stop.
The brakes were slammed and the car stopped abruptly right next to the surprised crowd.
The carâs window was rolled down and a man in sunglasses poked his head out.
âCome on, Xella! Your classmates will be there soon! Letâs get there before them, just the two of us!â
said the man.
Naturally, the car caught a lot of attention from the people who were waiting for the bus there.
As usual, the beautiful one would always get picked up by the rich kid.
This was what a few of the boys there thought as their inferiority complex sank in.
âAh, hello Waylon. Is this the newest car youâve bought?â
