The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 535
âHmm? What is it, Mr. Winters?â
Mr. Winters tugged at Geraldâs sleeve and sat him down.
âOf course, itâs something good! When you called earlier today, I told you about it, but I figured itâs better to tell you in person. Itâs not the wisest to talk about it with my sons around.â
âOhh, please go ahead then, Mr. Winters!â
âI used to work in the mines and befriended this guy. After all these years of moving around, when I went to town some time ago, I just happened to run into him, and we chatted for a bit, you know, to catch up. He told me that his granddaughter is almost the same age as you, around the same age group as you and Francis!â
âShe graduated from college a year earlier than you, and now her family seems anxious to find her a boyfriend. Her family is well-off and rich, so there arenât any particular criteria needed. I just thought of introducing her to you, as the family has two daughters, and sheâs the eldest!â Mr. Winters explained excitedly.
âSo, I wanted to discuss with you about arranging a date between the two of you for tomorrow! Iâm not going to let Francis know about this matter, and you shouldnât tell him either!â
Gerald could see what Mr. Winters had in mind. Seeing that Gerald had difficulty looking for jobs, Mr.
Winters wanted to help Gerald matchmake.
He did all these for Gerald, and his intentions were pure and honest.
It was just like the last time with Xeno.
But Gerald already had Mila Smith, and the previous dates that were matchmade to him did not go well at all. Gerald was traumatized by the girls, so he really repulsed the idea of it.
âMr. Winters, thereâs no need for that, but thank you for your kind consideration! Now, if youâll excuse meâ¦â
âWhatâs there to be afraid of? You can mind your own business later, but I think you should meet up with her! It doesnât matter if it will work out, at least get to know her!â Mr. Winters wondered in bewilderment.
This scenario felt almost identical to the last time with Xeno.
Under this particular circumstance, Gerald could not tell Mr. Winters that he was actually well-off, and there was no need to help him find a partner.
He could neither accept nor reject that offer, and neither could he upset Mr. Winters.
âAlright, fine, Iâll meet up with her tomorrow.â Gerald nodded.
âGreat, Iâll give her a call then!â
Mr. Winters eagerly grabbed his phone to make the call. He then returned minutes later in high spirits.
âOkay, luckily, my friendâs daughter is available tomorrow! I told him that both of you will be meeting and none of us will be tagging along. This is her number, give her a call tomorrow. Wherever you guys are going to meet, thatâs up to you. Try to sweet-talk her, okay? Her name is Michelle Waxham, just call her Elle. Her mom is a teacher, so she is a sweet one with good manners.â Mr. Winters said excitedly.
âAlright then, Iâll give her a call later!â
After chatting with Mr. Winters, Gerald went home.
He pondered for a bit before he decided to make the phone call.
âHello, who are you looking for?â
A ladyâs voice was heard from the other end.
âHi, Iâm Gerald; you must be Elle? It was Mr. Winters who suggested that I should give you a call!â
It was Geraldâs first time to call someone this way. He tried to act a little cheerful and generous, but he still sounded a little restrained.
âOh, oh, yes, I know,â Elle replied politely. She then waited for Gerald to continue speaking.
âAre you busy?â Gerald asked.
âIâm good, no worries, you may continue!â
âWhich middle school did you attend before? Was it the First, middle school or Second middle school?â
Gerald tried to create conversations with random topics.
âI attended Second middle school; what about you?â
âI attended the First! So, are you free tomorrow? Thereâs a new Dominoâs that just opened in town; why donât we meet there and hang out?â
Gerald did not know what else to talk about anymore, so he went straight to the point.
âSure!â
âWell, you get some rest early!â
âMmhmm, you too!â
