Chapter 538
The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald realized after a while that her intention of the meetup wasnât for the blind date.
Besides, Gerald himself was unwilling to attend the blind date too.
So he decided to tease her, thinking that he might be able to get it over and done with.
âWhat are you pretending here? If you really have a house there, why donât you go and stay there?â Xabrina sneered.
âI do own a house there. Itâs just that I donât have the luxury of time to go and stay. Besides, itâs on top of the mountain. I canât get used to it if I stay there alone. Thatâs a place for my future wife and me!â Gerald smiled and replied.
âOh, gosh! Itâs on top of the mountain. Are you guarding the forest for anybody? Did they buy you a small house there?â
Xabrina chuckled cynically, her voice dripping with contempt.
âThen do you own a car? Let me tell you if I go to work in Mayberry, I wonât ride any car which costs less than forty-five thousand dollars.â She continued haughtily.
âI have a car too, but I park it at the foot of the mountain.â
âAt the foot of the mountain. What kind of car is that?â
âA Lamborghini!â Gerald replied.
Xabrina scoffed. âD*mn it, oh my god. Are you out of your mind?! Gerald!â
She could not put up with it anymore.
At first, she thought that Gerald might have owned a house and a car in Mayberry.
It turns out that he seemed to be only boasting about himself.
âIâm afraid that he doesnât know that my sister and Iâm rather aware of his family background and condition.â She thought to herself.
âIâm telling the truth. Itâs not a lie at all. I canât do anything anyway if you choose not to believe me.â
Gerald shrugged his shoulders in resignation.
He felt that he took the blind date quite seriously. At least if Mr. Winters asked him about it in the future, he would be able to give him a proper answer.
âLook, let me just get straight to the point. My family wonât ever be in the liking of people like you. You know, I gave you the benefit of the doubt and thought that you might be an honest man since youâre poor. So I thought itâd be fine to give you a chance to prove yourself. But now, letâs just forget about it. You s*umbag!â
Xabrina spat.
At that moment, she wanted to get up and leave immediately.
But she froze and suddenly thought:
âF*ck! I came here early, and I even put my makeup on. But if I donât even get to drink anything and just leave like that just because I got annoyed by him, thatâs a real loss.â
âThe most important thing is that I need to carry out this task for my sister correctly.â
âIf Grandpa knows that I left early after listening to him only for such a short while, heâll certainly be extremely angry. Besides, Grandpa still doesnât know that I replaced my sister for her.â
She was afraid that Gerald would make irresponsible remarks with Mr. Winters once he returned home.
Hence, she decided to let Gerald retreat on his account in the face of such difficult circumstances.
âArenât you leaving?â Seeing that she sat down again, Gerald asked her in shock.
âWho said that Iâm leaving? I havenât eaten anything yet since early morning. I want to have a meal. Besides, we met each other for the first time today. Shouldnât you be giving me a treat?â
Xabrina crossed her arms around her chest and said.
âOh! Yeah, sure, no problem!â
Gerald lowered his head and began thinking: âWhy is she such a pain to deal with?â
âI want a hamburger, French fries, chicken wings, some fried chicken, and a pizza. I want to eat all of these!â Xabrina pressed her lips proudly and ordered.
âCan you eat that much?â Gerald was shocked.
âHey, look, just say it whether youâre giving me a treat or not.â
âFine! Yes, itâs my treat!â
Gerald then went over to the counter to order the food and brought them in a tray.
He just stared at her as she ate her food.
Gerald was thinking of a way to make her hate him so that she would leave immediately.
Hereâs the text from the image:
In that case, he would be able to explain himself.
Both Gerald and Xabrina had their thoughts and plans in mind.
At that very moment.
âHey! Itâs really you! We were looking for you outside just now. It really seems to be you!â
Two men and two women entered the restaurant. They tapped on Xabrinaâs shoulders as she was gobbling down the hamburger.
It startled Xabrina.
âYou⦠Why are you here?â
Xabrina blushed as she quickly responded.
