The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 519
When he opened the door, Gerald was greeted by Zack Lyleâs secretary. She was here to have him sign a few contracts. Since there were several projects in progress, the number of contracts to be signed had naturally increased as well.
âHmm? Hold on, whatâs this?â called Gerald out to the secretary just as she was about to leave. He noticed an envelope that she had left on his desk. When he opened it, he saw a stack of concert tickets inside. From what he could tell, there were approximately fifty of them.
âAh, well, Mr. Crawford, since seven different projects are in progress right now, the company decided to organize a concert. Around thirty singers have been invited, and that number doesnât include the number of bands that are participating as well!â explained the secretary with a smile.
âAs Mr. Lyle said, you have several friends living here in Serene County. Thus, he told me to send a stack of tickets your way. If any more are needed, Mr. Lyle would be more than happy to send the amount desired over!â
âThat wonât be necessary. I donât have that many friends in the first place. This will be enough,â said Gerald in a calm tone.
The secretary simply bowed before leaving. Unfortunately, though she had made sure to expose ample of her bosom as she bowed, Gerald hadnât seemed to take any notice of her efforts. With her attempt failed, she left feeling both slightly embarrassed and disappointed.
âWho should I even give these to? Heh, Zack really knows how to run a business, what a considerate guy!â said Gerald to himself as he chuckled. âAh, I can send some over to Xeno and Sienna! Iâll give some to Fay tomorrow as well!â
It had been a long day at work and Fay had been the nicest person to him in the company so far.
Gerald figured that it was only fair to repay the favor.
After brushing his teeth, Gerald lay on his bed and began video chatting with Mila. It had been about two months since she had gone abroad. If things went accordingly, she would be back within another monthâs time.
After talking to each other for three hours straight, the call finally ended and Gerald was able to get a good nightâs sleep. Morning came soon enough, and Gerald was up early for work as per usual. By the time he arrived, quite a few of his colleagues were already there.
They seemed to be discussing the party last night, and their chattering echoed throughout the office.
âHaha! That was the most fun Iâve had in a while! You know, you guys probably missed it, but when we went for karaoke, Ethan was ready to kiss Leon! My sides still hurt thinking about it!â
âHah! Also, remember how Greg tried to confess to Fay? That pervert tried to hug her just because she looked so gentle. Nobody expected her to smack him hard on the face as soon as his arms encircled her. It was hilarious! You shouldâve seen the look on his face!â
A girlâs hushed voice was heard next. âI heard some juicy news myself last night while I was on my way to the bathroom!â
âSpill it, girl!â said another female curiously.
âWell, you know the vice team leader of the fourth team? Nathaniel Chandler? I think he confessed to the newbie, Bianca! He even bought a big bouquet of flowers! Not only that, Ava was there too and she was acting as their wing-woman!â
âHot d*mn! Now thatâs juicy! What happened next? How did Bianca react?â
Everyoneâs ears were perked as they awaited her answer.
âI donât know! I wanted to stick around for a little longer but their team members saw me and I was forced out of the room! My guess is that she rejected him though!â continued the girl.
âThatâs just your guess though.â
âWell it is, but you shouldâve seen how desperate Nathaniel was last night. He somehow found out that Bianca liked Ashley, the singer! He knew that Ashley, alongside several other famous singers and bands, was going to participate in a concert here soon, so he told her that heâd get a ticket for her no matter what!â
âOh lord, really? I heard that the pricing for that concertâs tickets is crazy! Youâd need at least three hundred dollars to sit in the last row! Iâm telling you, even if he has the money, itâd be nearly impossible for him to land a ticket!â
