Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 710
âI know⦠Still, Iâd like to look around the area first!â replied Raquel. While she couldnât afford to pay the rent for a unit in this place, she still wanted to have a look around the building. After all, a girl could dream.
As the group continued hanging out around the area, a loud commotion could suddenly be heard coming from the end of the hallway.
A suited middle-aged man could be seen walking into the building, and many of the customers present greeted him respectfully when he passed by them. This wasnât just any regular person. He was the manager of Edificio!
âThatâs Edificioâs famous manager, Alexander Brookes!â explained Jefferson to the three girls.
âSo what if you know about him? He doesnât even know that you exist!â Raquel thought to herself, clearly still upset.
While a lot of people seemed to want to talk to Mr. Brooks, all he did was wave them off. He seemed to be in quite a hurry. The fact that he was also looking around hinted that he was trying to find something or someone.
All of a sudden, he noticed the four teenagers staring at him and he immediately ran over to Raquelâs group.
Seeing him hurriedly approaching them, both Raquel and Jefferson found themselves growing excited.
âMr. Wadley, I presume? Did Mr. Crawford not come along?â asked Alexander with a respectful smile as he looked at Jefferson.
Everyone in the building immediately fell silent, all of them looking at the groupâs direction.
âMr. Wadley? Mr. Brookes, you must be mistaken! My name is Jefferson Brownâ¦â replied Jefferson, his face flushed with excitement.
Even Raquel was biting her lower lip, trying her best to contain her excitement.
âHuh? Oh, I do apologize! I mistook you for someone else!â apologized Alexander rather awkwardly.
Earlier when Alexander had received a call, he had been notified that Marven Wadley was a student from Salford University who was also a friend of Mr. Crawfordâs! Since Gerald was involved, Alexander had been given direct orders from their companyâs director to approach Marven with the utmost respect!
âYou kids looked like students from Salford University! Since my clientâs from that university as well, youâll have to forgive me for mistaking you for someone else!â added Alexander with an apologetic smile on his face.
âOh? What a coincidence! Why donât you tell me who your client is, Mr. Brookes? Maybe I could be of help!â said Jefferson.
He still couldnât believe that he was currently speaking to the manager of Edificio. Jefferson was definitely going to prolong their conversation as much as he could!
Raquel nodded in agreement. After all, she knew quite a lot of people in their university as well.
âIâd appreciate that! The person Iâm looking for is Mr. Marven Wadley. Have you seen him around anywhere?â asked Alexander.
Upon hearing his words, Raquelâs mind went completely blank.
âI⦠Iâm sorry, could you repeat that?â
Mr. Brookesâ question was so shocking to her that she even wondered if she had hallucinated the name.
âMarven Wadley? Heâs looking for Marven? No way in hell! Thereâs got to be a mistake! With Mr.
Brookesâ status, why would he ever want to meet up with Marven?â
âOf course. Iâm looking for Mr. Marven Wadley. Are you familiar with him?â repeated Alexander, feeling as though none of them actually knew who his client was.
âI guess I was too excited back there. I shouldâve just given Mr. Wadley a call! Why did I assume that these kids even knew who he was?â Alexander thought to himself.
Just as he took his phone out, Marvenâs distinct voice could be heard calling out for him.
âThereâs no need to call me, Mr. Brookes! Iâm right here!â
