The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 671
This was what Maia said as soon as she saw that Gerald had also entered the high-end entertainment center.
Gerald himself had simply been walking around, minding his own business before turning to look at Maia after hearing her shout. Contrary to Maia, he was as calm as a cucumber.
Maia however, wasnât having any of this. To her, Gerald could only possibly have entered due to him following them closely while Jamier was showing the staff his VIP card earlier. The staff must have allowed him in then, thinking that he was part of their group!
Seeing Gerald in such a place simply made Maia feel uncomfortable.
âHey, Gerald! Why are you here as well? Who even allowed you in here?â said Maia rather angrily.
Hearing Maiaâs interrogative question, Gerald felt stunned.
âWho allowed me in? I can come and leave as I please since the staff have been notified that I came together with Barry.â
âI naturally have free access to this place!â
In all honesty, Gerald was only passing through the entertainment center because he needed to. After all, it was the only way for him to get to the small manors at the peak of the mountainâabove the entertainment centerâwhere both Barry and Queta were still waiting.
âD*mn it, have you no shame at all? Donât you know that unless youâre following a tour, you need a VIP card to enter this place? Not just anybody can enter as they want!â added Maia, her voice clearly filled with contempt.
âI am aware of that!â replied Gerald with a nod.
âF*cking hell! Since you already know about that, how could you just follow us in here after Jamier showed his VIP card? You canât just sneak into this place with us!â replied Maia.
While she hadnât really hated Gerald in the past, Maia still utterly looked down on him. After todayâs events, however, she was starting to hate him slightly.
âJamier didnât even invite you! Only Warren, Vincy, Lennard, and I were supposed to come here to enjoy ourselves!â
âHow dare you even consider sneaking in with us? Whatâll Jamier think about this?â
âAfter all, he knows that Vincy, Lennard, and I are your high school classmates! How utterly embarrassing!â
âIf you had snuck into someplace else with us without Jamier being present, I wouldnât have cared this much! Hell, Iâd probably have approved of it as long as you were willing to expand your horizons!â
âBut this is different. Whatâll Jamier think about Vincy and I now?â
All these thoughts made Maia even more embarrassed than before.
âI didnât even sneak into this place!â replied Gerald helplessly.
He knew how much Maia had looked down upon him in the past. To think that it could actually get even worse!
However, he wasnât lying either. He really hadnât snuck in.
âHow could you even say that at this pointâ¦? If you didnât sneak in, do you have a VIP card?!â said Maia furiously.
âWell⦠No,â replied Gerald. After all, he didnât really need one to enter.
âThen why are you still lying? You snuck into this place yet you still donât want to admit it! Iâm honestly speechless right now!â shouted Maia, so angry that she was even stomping her foot now.
If it wasnât because of how aware she was of her status as a police officer, she wouldâve already kicked Gerald at least twice by now!
What more, several other respectable-looking peopleâwho were also walking around in the entertainment center at the timeâseemed to be finding the scene rather hilarious.
Realizing this made Maia and the others feel deeply embarrassed.
Trying to deescalate the situation, Vincy then said, âItâs fine, Maia. Donât talk to Gerald that wayâ¦
Remember, we still used to be classmates! Also, Jamier? I hope you donât think too much about it.
Gerald must have just entered with us to have some fun!â
âI donât really mind!â replied Jamier as he shook his head while laughing slightly bitterly.
âHumph! Youâre lucky Jamierâs so generous! Otherwise, we wouldâve kicked you out of here immediately! God, I feel so annoyed seeing him like this!â growled Maia as she stomped her foot a few more times before finally turning around to walk away.
Vincy could only look at Gerald rather pitifully.
After all, all of what Maia had said to him was equally unpleasant and hurtful.
