The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 584
Back then, Gerald knew little about Maia aside from the fact that she was the team captain.
The only other things he knew was that she was very close to her grandfather and her parents were in politics. This resulted in her growing up in a rather lavish environment.
He also knew that while she and her family were locals, after the final examination, all of them moved to Mayberry.
Though Gerald was excellent in his studies, he was never good enough for Maia. She would only talk to him as the captain whenever they were representing the school in a competition. Outside that, they werenât close at all.
Gerald on the other hand, had a very good impression of her since she was both hardworking and capable. To top it off, she was also very pretty and she had good tastes too.
In short, she was a goddess to his past self.
Many guys had tried to befriend her but she would only befriend those who had their own âspecialtiesâ.
Such âspecialtiesâ included either being rich or having a powerful family with a great background.
Normal people would never get the chance to even get close to her. This caused the past Gerald to be satisfied to just be able to momentarily talk with her.
Gerald hadnât forgotten that feeling, so he was rather nervous now that she was in front of him again.
âItâs been pretty long, hasnât it? I heard you went to police school. Are you still practicing?â asked Gerald.
Maia simply nodded and continued looking at him for a while before saying, âSo, why are you at this bar? Shouldnât you be working?â
Though she was the one who had initiated the conversation, she wasnât really paying attention to him.
Her eyes were clearly looking elsewhere.
âI havenât found a job yet. Also, what are you looking at?â asked Gerald as he turned to look where her eyes were gazing at.
âDonât look. I see, so you have time to talk to me then!â commanded Maia in a strict tone, just like she used to back in high school.
Gerald had no idea what was going on so he simply nodded.
She then took another sip of her champagne before looking at Gerald with a smile, immediately causing him to blush. At that moment, something caught Maiaâs eye and she instantly grabbed her walkie-talkie before shouting, âAction!â
Maia then rushed out of the bar, running toward a young man. Gerald saw a few other young people running over as well, and in no time at all, the young man had been surrounded. It looked just like a movie scene.
The young man who had been drinking was stunned as he was pressed against the ground by a few people. A few bystanders witnessing the scene screamed as one of the young people shouted, âDonât move! Police!â The person on the ground was then cuffed up.
Well d*mn! So she already was a cop and she was even on duty!
So thatâs why she was talking to Gerald. She had even smiled at him! It was all just for show, and Gerald smiled bitterly as he came to realize that.
At that moment, Gerald remembered that Drake and Tyson were still inside beating up the guards from before. They wouldnât let themselves be caught by Maia, right? If it somehow came to that, then things would become extremely awkward.
âWeâve finally caught the little rascal after so many days! Good work, Maia. Letâs go for a drink later!â
said a tall, good-looking guy as he smiled at Maia.
As the suspect was taken away, a few other female cops came over and said, âWow, Warren, we want drinks too! Why donât we get invited over for drinks?â asked the girls rather enviously.
âIâll get drinks for all of you! Letâs head to another bar right now!â replied Warren.
âOh, by the way, Maia, did you know that guy? I saw you talking to him earlier!â said one of the girls as she pointed toward Gerald who was still sitting in the bar.
âYeah, heâs one of my high school acquaintances. Back then, I was the competition team captain while he was one of the members!â
âI see! I thought your relationship would be something like that! Haha! Why not ask him to join us? Heâs quite good looking! Also, what does he do?â asked the other girls.
âIâm not too sure about that and I was just about to ask him if heâd like to come along!â said Maia as she shook her head with a smile.
She then looked toward Gerald before saying, âHey Gerald, come over here!â
