The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 553
âHoly! Queeny? I already gave you an answer!â shouted Gerald with a jump. He definitely hadnât expected her to chase after him.
âWhat is with you? Iâm just⦠concerned! Look, you may have won the lottery or something, and though Iâm not sure how much you won, arenât you acting a little too naively? Societyâs going to eat you up! No matter how much youâve won, be careful and donât get tricked or youâll end up in the streets later on!â
âYeah⦠That made much more sense. Gerald must have invested in the attraction with the lottery money.â This was the only reasonable conclusion that she could come up with at that moment. Her emotions were in disarray and she was feeling extremely upset by the sudden change in power dynamic. After saying what she needed to to calm herself down, Queenie immediately left the office, her cheeks puffed up.
âHah. This girl⦠If she ever found out about my true identity, Iâd never hear the end of it!â said Gerald before chuckling.
As Blake went off to run his errands, Gerald decided to get some shut-eye before leaving the attraction and getting some proper rest.
He definitely didnât want to join Queenie and her friends. Queenie didnât want him around anymore either. After some time passed, knocking could be heard on the door.
âMr. Edward? Iâve brought the newcomer over to report to you!â It was a soft female voice and Gerald was slightly taken aback when he heard it.
âCome in!â said Gerald.
The door then slowly opened and a girl in a uniform entered the office. She had long hair and a nice figure. In her hands was a document and behind her was another beautiful girl.
âMr. Edward, Iâmâ¦â The girlâs voice slowly trailed off. She was about to introduce herself, but her words just wouldnât form the moment she saw who was sitting in the office.
Gerald was speechless as well. He simply stared at the two girls as the awkwardness in the office grew.
âM-Mr. Crawford! Itâs you! I⦠I didnât know youâd be here!â said the girl as she immediately lowered her head in embarrassment. She didnât dare to make eye contact.
ââ¦Xella? Sharon? What are you two doing here in Fuenti? Arenât you supposed to be in Serene County?â asked Gerald as he continued staring at the two.
When Gerald was investigating his company, Xella had learned of his true identity. As for Sharon, she knew too since she was present during the incident at the real estate center. This was why the situation felt so awkward for all three of them.
Though he remembered what Xella and Sharon had done to him in recent memory, he was still good friends with the two girls back in high school. Xella had even fought against Waylon for bullying Gerald.
He didnât exactly have the time of his life in high school, but with the two girls around, his high school days still ended up being pretty nice. Even back then, a lot of people looked down on him but not these two. They really treated him like a good friend.
This was the sole reason why Gerald still felt reserved when it came to the two of them. Even though their friendship was no longer the same, Gerald still felt obligated to treat them kindly.
âMr. Crawford, Iâll be going to the human resources department now. Sharonâs just joined the company.
Oh, and since tomorrow is your birthday, the companyâs assigned a few good looking girls to be escorts.â
âAh, so they still remember my birthday. Well this is a little weirdâ¦â He thought to himself.
âAh, I see⦠Well, Blakeâs now busy decorating the place!â said Gerald as he stood up. The situation was still extremely awkward.
