The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 537
The next day arrived.
It was the day of the blind date, which was arranged by Mr. Winters.
Although Gerald did not know what to expect of the outcome, he still took the effort to do some preparations since he had given his promise to Mr. Winters. He decided to head to Dominoâs earlier.
But something happened unexpectedly.
He spotted a girl sitting alone and drinking coke. There were chicken wings and French fries on her table. At that moment, she was swinging her fair legs, and it seemed like she was waiting for someone.
âCould it be her?â
Gerald thought to himself.
The girl then put down her fries. She was munching while typing on the phone.
Just at that moment, Gerald received a text message too. It was from Michelle.
âAre you here yet?â
Again, Gerald thought to himself: âAs expected, it is that girl.â
On first impressions, she was quite pretty.
So Gerald went ahead and slid into the seat opposite her.
âWhat⦠are you doing?â That girl was clearly shocked.
She looked at Gerald in a daze.
âAre you here for a blind date?â Gerald asked her.
âWhat blind date? Are you out of your mind?â The girl stared at Gerald, her eyes frozen with fear.
âEh? Wait, youâre not Michelle? But didnât you send a text message to me just now?â Gerald was stupefied.
âI donât know who Michelle is. I was sending a Line message to my boyfriend. Do you understand?â
The girl replied in a shrill tone.
âOh, Iâm so sorry. I made a mistake!â
Gerald stood up in awkwardness.
âD*mn it! If I knew earlier, I would have called first.â He cringed.
As he was about to call Michelle, suddenly someone tapped him on his shoulders lightly.
He turned around and was stunned to see another gorgeous girl in front of him.
She blinked her large eyes and looked right into Geraldâs.
âAre you Gerald? Are you here to meet someone?â The girl carefully asked.
âYes, I am. And you areâ¦?â
âXabrina!â
âEh?â
âIâm Xabrinaâs elder sisterâMichelle!â Xabrina quickly concealed the blunder.
She then sneered. âDid you mistake someone else as me just now?â Xabrina asked him in a slight contemptuous tone.
Well, that was the plain truth.
The moment she entered Dominoâs, she was just in time to witness the whole scene unfold.
It was too awkward.
Hence, Xabrina just stood aside and watched from afar. She did not go over to greet him as she felt extremely awkward.
She even concluded to herself that Gerald was indeed strange.
But Xabrina decided to hurry up since she needed only less than five minutes to send him away and wrap up this issue for her sister.
Gerald sat across from Xabrina.
Gerald only needed to take a few glances at Xabrina to know that she was probably an empty flower potâpretty on the outside, but nothing more than that.
On the other hand, Xabrina locked her gaze on Gerald and sized him up.
She had some inner thoughts as she stared at him:
âGerald is actually quite good-looking, to be honest. If only his family background were better, it would have been excellent for him to be my brother-in-law.â
âBut unfortunately, heâs so poor. How would my sister ever fall in love with him?
âIn fact, if it werenât for grandpa forcing my sister to get married so soon, certainly my sister would not be so anxious about looking for a boyfriend.â
âPlus, there are indeed so many bees trying to gain my sisterâs attention, just that she doesnât fancy any of them!â
âSo, Iâve heard about your condition. You still havenât found a job, right? That means that you donât have any salary. Besides, I heard that youâd bought a house in Serene County. But Iâve been transferred to work in Mayberry, so it means that Iâll be working in Mayberry soon. What are your plans in terms of living arrangements?â
Xabrina asked him.
She thought that it would be better to get straight to the point.
âIs that so? If youâre talking about Mayberry, I do have a house there.â
âWhat? You own a house in Mayberry? How large is it?â
Xabrina asked curiously.
âIâm not too sure about the details. Besides, I never stay there!â Gerald chuckled.
