Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 656
âGerald!â shouted Vincy.
Gerald was surprised to hear his name being called out. Turning around, he saw both Vincy and Lennard.
Gerald had never really talked to both of them outside competitions, so he wasnât too close to either of them. Between the two however, Gerald was definitely more acquainted with Vicky. After all, Lennard came from a rich family so that gave him even less reason to talk to Gerald back then. Lennard was much closer to Maia and the others.
Gerald then walked over to them with a surprised look on his face before saying, âVincy! Lennard!â
While he wasnât well acquainted with them, they still used to be classmates. It was the only reason why he was speaking to them in such a friendly manner.
Lennard only scanned him briefly from head to toe before unwillingly nodding in response to Geraldâs greeting.
Vicky on the other hand, jumped in front of Gerald before patting him on the shoulder.
âHey, Gerald! Itâs been a while! You barely even keep in contact with us anymore!â
Back in the day, Gerald and Vincy used to be partners whenever they participated in competitions.
Since both of them usually managed to get decent rankings together, Gerald was starting to feel slightly nostalgic now, now that they were meeting again after so long.
âI know right? Itâs been such a long time!â replied Gerald.
âSpeaking of which, is the duo over there your girlfriend and a family member of hers? She looks really pretty by the way! You know, Lennard could fetch you guys to wherever you want to go!â said Vincy.
âActually, I have to meet someone later!â added Lennard as soon as he heard Vincyâs suggestion.
Vincy just smiled awkwardly after hearing his reply and quickly changed the topic.
âOh, by the way, both of you may not know it yet, but Lennard and I are getting married! Iâve also been pregnant for about three months now!â
âOh wow! Congratulations!â said Maia, visibly shocked by the revelation. She then turned to look at Gerald as though she was comparing him to Lennard.
ââ¦Hey, I just realized this, but look at all those cars over there!â said Jamier out of the blue while pointing at a corner.
âHuh? Oh wow! Theyâre all luxury cars!â said a girl in a shocked voice after turning to look for herself.
Everyone else was equally as surprised.
âSay, doesnât that first car belong to Barry Zatyr? The well-known businessman in our town?â
questioned Lennard who seemed to recognize the car model.
âI believe so! Itâs so weird seeing a man like him waiting to pick someone up. I remember going to a business function together with my dad when I was younger. Back then, I had accidentally knocked into him and he patted my head, you know?â said Jamier rather proudly.
âI think Iâll try to go over there and greet him! One of the managers waiting with him now knows my dad!â said Jamier as he walked over.
His action both shocked and impressed everyone there.
After walking up to said manager and talking for a little while, Jamier eventually returned.
âHow did it go?â asked Warren.
âI simply greeted him with a simple hello. He told me that theyâre here to pick a big boss up so he didnât have time to talk to me. Mr. Zartyr glanced at me as well, but I didnât dare to speak with him!â
While everyone was talking excitedly, Gerald couldnât help but feel awkward standing there. Thus, he told Vincy that he was leaving before exiting the scene.
Vincy didnât try to stop him since she knew how awkward it was for him simply being there.
âHow odd, why isnât Mr. Crawford here yet?â said Barry as he checked the time nervously, beads of sweat flowing down his forehead.
Zack hadnât arranged for Barry to pick Gerald up since he had specifically told him not to organize anything grand for him. Because of that, Zack had only told Barry that Gerald was coming over today, and that he just had to wait for his call.
While Zack had meant every word that he said, Barry simply didnât dare to forgo a formal welcome, which explained why he was still waiting there for Gerald to arrive. However, Gerald had yet to arrive even though they had been waiting for so long.
Meanwhile, Gerald and his own group had just found a hotel to stay the night in. After settling down for a while, Geraldâs phone began to ring.
