The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 426
After a while, Gerald stood up and went to the washroom.
Not long after he had entered the gents, Xella stood up to head to the washroom herself.
After washing his hands, Gerald bumped into Xella who had also left the bathroom at the same time.
The meeting was awkward, to say the least.
âSpeaking of which, I havenât had a chance to properly talk with you. Howâve you been recently?â said Xella with a bright smile as she tried to conceal her awkwardness.
She knew how her relationship with Gerald was like in the past, and she was also very aware of the conflicts between Gerald and Waylon.
However, now she had become quite close to Waylon. Even if he didnât say it, Gerald would definitely not feel alright with that.
âNot bad!â said Gerald as he wiped his hands dry with some tissue paper.
âI heard that you havenât found a job yet, is that true? Do you have any plans for the future?â asked Xella.
âI plan to make a name for myself,â replied Gerald honestly.
Xella frowned slightly at that before shaking her head with a faint smile on her face. âListen Gerald, I really suggest that you go look for a job. It doesnât matter what kind of job you get. You know very well that youâre different from the others!â
âOr, you could even try to please Waylon. Heâs started his own company and heâs looking for people to hire. If you want, I could put in a word for you so that heâll be more willing to take you in! The basic salary is around three hundred dollars a month and thatâs better than nothing!â advised Xella.
âI appreciate it, but Iâll have to refuse,â said Gerald as he smiled.
Xella simply sighed. âGerald, I know that Waylon beat you up badly back then, but he was young so please try to understand. Why donât you try looking at it this way? If you had let him copy your answers then he wouldnât have beaten you up! Now that youâve graduated from university, who knows? He may be willing to lend a hand!â continued Xella.
âI donât take that incident to heart anymore. Also, regarding the issue with your deputy manager. All you need to do is to tell your manager or report the incident to the other superiors at your company. Theyâll definitely punish him severely!â
The manager and several of the superiors there were originally staff from Mayberry International Inc. so Gerald knew about their capabilities and virtues well. They would definitely not allow any sort of harassment to continue.
Xella simply looked at Gerald for a while before smiling bitterly and shaking her head. âYou donât know much about what goes on at my workplace. You donât have to bother about it anymore. Anyway, itâs been nice talking to you again, and thank you, Gerald!â
After ending her sentence, she simply waved at Gerald before turning away and leaving.
It made Gerald feel that Xella herself was quite a strange person.
It was just like back when he had met Sharon. She had acted strangely to him as well.
Feeling disappointed, Gerald began walking back himself.
Less than two dozen steps later, he saw that Xellaâs path had been blocked by a middle-aged man.
The man was even trying to hold her hand.
âWhat are you doing, Mr. Zabel?â said Xella as she moved her hand away from his.
âXella, I was planning to have my meal here today. I didnât expect to bump into you. Since weâre both here, why not have a drink with me? I can introduce some colleagues from our company to you!â said Mr. Zabel, lust reflected in his eyes.
âCome now. Stop trying to leave or Iâll get angry soon!â he said.
âLet go of her!â
At that moment, a loud, angry roar could be heard.
