The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 606
She was so disgusted by him that she had already begun filling her head with rather extreme ideas.
Giya had only attended the meal because her father had persuaded her to go that day. Thinking back, she wasnât even sure if she should have taken that first step.
âWell, it doesnât really matter. The engagement will happen sooner or later! Letâs not talk about that now. Come, letâs just go in already!â said Yunus as he brought her into the hotel.
Meanwhile, Gerald had just entered a private room. Melissa had invited quite a lot of people that day and aside from her cousin, Rosalie, most of the others were young people who looked to be around the same age.
Some of them seemed to be from Mayberry while the others came from elsewhere. The only constant was that they all treated Gerald extremely respectfully and cordially.
This was especially so for Melissa who had constantly been serving him food as she sat beside him.
Melissa had even invited Gerald to have fun with them that night, since there was another group of friends who would be attending then.
Though Gerald had initially planned to leave after sitting there for just a while, not long after they entered the room, Melissa ordered for the food to be served. As a result, he couldnât help but stay and continue having a few more drinks with them.
The group of people was rather good at drinking.
As everyone drank and chatted with one another, at some point, one of the guests started getting a little drunk.
It was Melissaâs cousin, Rosalie.
âI donât think I can take anymore⦠Iâm getting a bit dizzy so Iâll just retreat to the car for now and get a nap. You guys go on ahead and continue drinking,â said Rosalie.
âHuh? I thought you were a good drinker! Also why the car? There are rooms in this hotel. Let me just get one for you to take a rest in. Ah, I also have a bottle of soda with me. Here, drink some of it to make yourself more comfortable!â said Melissa as she opened the bottle and handed it over to Rosalie.
Rosalie simply nodded slightly. She really looked like she couldnât take anymore.
As Melissa told a waiter to prepare a room, Rosalie could barely stand properly. It was apparent that she was really bad at drinking.
âHey Melissa, let me help you get Sister Owens upstairs!â volunteered one of the young men in the room.
While Melissa was beautiful, Rosalieâs looks surpassed even hers. Despite the fact that she was much older, she exuded a special charm.
Adding that to her good disposition, it was almost certain for every man who locked their eyes on her to eventually be charmed.
âOh, get lost! Donât assume I donât know what youâre thinking! Let me tell you, my sister is an Owens and she comes from Northbay! Sheâs not someone you can simply take advantage of!â said Melissa, in an annoyed tone.
Though she said that, she definitely looked like she needed help. It would be both difficult and tiring for her to get Rosalie upstairs all by herself.
She then looked at Gerald before saying, âI trust you, Mr. Crawford. Could you help me get my cousin upstairs?â
âSure thing,â said Gerald while nodding slightly.
Though it was rather inconvenient for him to do so, he couldnât just reject Melissaâs plea. He wasnât thinking of any wicked thoughts either so he simply obliged.
Eventually, both of them managed to get Rosalie into a room on the seventh floor.
With the back of her hand placed against her forehead, Rosalie quickly fell asleep as soon as she got to her bed.
Melissa sighed before saying, âLet her take a rest for now⦠I didnât think she was this bad at drinking.
On the contrary, youâre quite good at that, arenât you Mr. Crawford?â
âIâm not too bad at it.â
As he said that, the sound of retching could be heard. Rosalie was vomiting terribly and she looked extremely unwell.
âOh god, are you alright cousin? Iâll go get some medicine to help you sober up. Could I trouble you to help look after my cousin for a while, Mr. Crawford? Iâll be right back!â said Melissa as she rushed out of the room.
Gerald however, didnât know how to look after her.
After vomiting for a while, Rosalie eventually fell asleep again in a daze.
Feeling it would be imprudent of him to remain in the room, he took the roomâs access card and stood by the door. Gerald would wait for Melissa to come back there.
Not long after, he heard Rosalieâs voice from inside the room. However, her voice suggested that she was struggling. It was almost like she was being constricted by something.
Gerald didnât pay much attention to the sounds at first. He thought that it was just her being drunk.
However, the more he listened, the stranger the noises got. There seemed to be other noises coming from within the room as well.
