The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 632
âWho knows? I heard that he knows quite a lot of people! If I were to guess, heâs probably here⦠to pick golf balls for them? Haha!â said Karen.
âThat does sound logical. I remember he said that he was doing his own business when we last met at our class gathering! Ridiculous!â sneered Lucille.
When Gerald was still in junior high school, three of the people in the group were his classmates and the fourth was one of his teachers. They had met him the last time Gerald went back to his old house to celebrate his birthday.
The day they met was coincidentally also Chaseâs birthday, and the day Gerald found out that the girl he had liked in high schoolâSherryâwas now together with Chase.
Gerald had left the gathering early back then since there werenât a lot of common topics to talk about.
What more, Gerald was rushing to celebrate his own birthday as well.
After he left, Chase and the others planned to visit Sunny Springs. However, after having their dinner and arriving there, they found that there wasnât much to look at anymore.
It was then when Karen had told them to wait for the day her husband needed to accompany his client again. She would be able to bring them along to a five-star golf course then.
All that led to the current events.
âSo, Ms. Karen, do you think we should greet him?â asked Lucille.
âWhy not? Look over there guys! Heâs really picking golf balls for others!â said Karen as she pointed and laughed.
âHey you! Could you bring that golf ball to us?â
Just as Gerald hung up, a ball rolled up to his foot. Apparently a girl who was practicing her golf club swings accidentally swung it there.
A guy then pointed toward Gerald. He clearly wanted Gerald to bring the ball over to him, so Gerald simply followed his orders.
âThe hell? What kind of worker even is that!â said the same guy as he rolled his eyes toward Gerald.
âOh, honey! Donât be mad, youâll scare him off!â
âYouâll have to constantly make use of people like him! If he isnât disciplined enough, heâll be cutting slack every day!â
Gerald simply smiled bitterly as he heard them talking. He didnât really want to start an argument with them.
As he was making his way back to his initial spot to enjoy a moment of silence, Lucille and the others came up to him.
âHaha! What a coincidence, Gerald!â
All of them were watching when Gerald was scolded after picking the golf ball up.
They had initially thought that Gerald was doing well with his business, but once they saw that scene, all of them became equally excited.
âOh? Itâs you guys?â said Gerald, slightly surprised.
Not only were his high school mates here, but also Sherry, the girl he used to like.
âWhat? Are you afraid that we saw what you were doing? I thought you were doing your own business!
Is this the business you were talking about? Picking up golf balls for people?â said Karen as she continued mocking him.
Sherry on the other hand, simply looked at him and shook her head. People without a future certainly wouldnât change much!
âAh, Karen! Here you all are! Iâve been looking for all of you!â said a young man wearing a suit as he walked over to the group.
âWhat is it, hubby?â
âWell, weâre short of a ball picker over on our side. Could you help me get one from the front desk?â
replied the man.
âHaha! Thereâs one here right now! This person here used to be my student and now heâs picking up golf balls for a living! Just take himâ¦â
âHim? Alright then, come along with me!â said the man as he nodded toward Gerald.
Gerald simply shook his head before saying, âSorry, I donât have the timeâ¦â
He was speechless.
