Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 955
Looking up, Gerald saw that it was the other female colleagues who were in the same team with him.
Seeing that they had bumped into him as they were looking for seats to have their meals, Gerald simply smiled with a nod as he looked at them.
However, none of them seemed to even bother about his smile. In fact, some of the colleagues found themselves cupping their mouths in amusement as they said, âWhat a surprise! You really donât know anything, do you? Whyâd you decide to have your lunch here instead of anyplace else?â
After saying that, they simply turned around to leave.
Seconds later, one of the colleagues said, âHuh? Hey, look there! Itâs Mr. Yoxon and Miss Swift! Hi there!â
The moment they saw Quinlan, their moods instantly switched, smiling as they waved their hands at him.
âWhat a coincidence! Why donât you sit with us? If I had known that you were going to eat here, Iâd definitely have invited all of you along!â said Quinlan with a bright smile.
âIs it really fine if we joined you?â asked a few of the female colleagues.
In the end, however, all of them ended up sitting at the same table, chatting and laughing among themselves.
While Gerald was well aware that he was a nobody in the presence of Quinlan, he didnât really want to have that much contact with his colleagues anyway. After all, befriending them wasnât part of his mission.
Gerald simply hoped that he would be able to meet Tulip soon.
Once the afternoon meeting ended a little later, Gerald prepared to teach his first class. Upon entering the classroom, Gerald saw that there were over thirty students in the class. The most conspicuous of them all, however, was none other than Tulip.
Her demeanor alone allowed anyone who saw her to instantly figure out that she was the boss of the class.
Since the first lecture was a lesson that required experimentation, Gerald brought his students along to a laboratory so that they would be able to observe the specimens there. He simply thought that it would be fitting for them to be able to observe things up-close since the topic he was about to teach was quite a major one in their Biology course.
Excited that they didnât have to remain in class, the students quickly grabbed their notebooks and followed Gerald out.
âHaha! I wonder if youâve noticed that that handsome lecturer seems to have an interest in you, Tulip!â
laughed a girl on their way to the laboratory as she held on to Tulipâs hand.
âWhat nonsense are you spouting this time, you silly girlâ¦â replied Tulip, almost speechless by her friendâs comment.
âItâs true! I realized that he had occasionally snuck glances at you from the moment he was done with his self-introduction. He continued doing so up till the point he headed out just now! Iâm absolutely sure that heâs been charmed by your beauty!â
âThere you go again with your nonsense! Still, if he really did sneak that many glances at me, heâd better not let me catch him in the act! If I catch him red-handed, then Iâm cutting his eyeballs out and feeding them to my Tibetan Mastiff, Hooch! You know how much I hate quiet and honest-looking men like him! Thereâs not a hint of bloodthirstiness in him at all!â said Tulip as both of them burst into laughter.
After a while, they arrived at the laboratory. However, to Geraldâs surprise, he found that there were already two classes inside the laboratory.
While conducting lessons in the laboratory with two neighboring classes at the same time was commonplace there, one usually had to abide by a schedule.
Though Gerald and Marjorieâs classes were the only classes that were supposed to be able to use the laboratory during this period, Quinlan was for some odd reason already inside with his own students.
The moment Marjorie saw Gerald, she awkwardly said, âMr. Crawford?â
âShouldnât only both our classes have access to the laboratory during the first period? Why is Mr.
Yoxon and his students here instead?â
Although Gerald didnât really have that much of a sense of belonging there in the first place, he was starting to get annoyed by all this.
âApologies, Mr. Crawford, but Mr. Yoxon came over to me earlier saying that he had no experience teaching students before this⦠Because of that, he suggested that we did a combined lesson⦠I assumed he had already notified you about it, so I simply agreed with his planâ¦â replied Marjorie as she blushed.
Clearing her throat, one of the students from Quinlanâs class then shouted, âHow about this, lecturers?
From now on, why donât we use the current arrangement of classes instead of the previous one? After all, weâd very much prefer having lessons with Miss Swift and Mr. Yoxon.â
âThereâs no reason for that! Our classes have already been pre-arranged nicely so how could you just take over somebody elseâs class period as you please?â retorted Tulip, clearly feeling dissatisfied.
A quarrel was starting to brew and the reason behind it was quite obvious. After all, Geraldâs pupils had all excitedly brought along their notebooks to the laboratory, only to find that another class had stepped out of line and occupied it without first informing their lecturer about it.
The entire situation was honestly quite humiliating.
âSince weâve already made preparations for the experiment, why donât you just take your students back to class, Mr. Crawford?â
