Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 405
“That’s right, sir. One thousand and five hundred dors!” The waitress beamed.
Dous’s face was a sight to behold. At first, he’d thought to just toss down a hundred bucks, and then
swagger out of there. He’d never expected that bunch of flowers to be worth so much!
If he called his father over to make some noise…
No, that wouldn’t do. This restaurant chain was owned by a powerful figure over at Mayberry. Whatever
clout his family had counted for nothing in here!
But neither did he have a thousand five hundred on him right now!
“Hmph. So it’s a thousand five, so what? No big deal!” Le sneered. She was this close to pping
the money in that waitress’s face.
Gerald was watching. No matter what, she had to have thest word in this!
Le nced towards Dous. He’d definitely be able to do something about this!
Patting his pockets, he leaned in close to whisper to her, “I’ve only got a few hundred left on me… I
can’t pay!”
“Ah?” Le had been expecting Dous to still have around a thousand left, just like her. That way,
they’d be able to pool their money and fumble their way out of this mess somehow… but he barely had
any cash on him at all!
Now, this was embarrassing…
Gerald hadn’t nned to get involved, until he saw them whispering furtively amongst themselves, and
realized that Dous was probably broke. “Hey, waitress! Add it to my bill! I’ll pay in their stead for
now!”
Le was wearing an absolutely hideous expression on her face right then.
Although those two had been very rude to him, Gerald nevertheless couldn’t bear to see Le caught in
such a plight. Anyway, when they’d encountered each other again earlier, he’d mentioned something
about counting on him in case of any trouble—that was why he spoke up now.
“Hmph! Dous doesn’t need your money! He’s got friends, you know?” Le snapped.
But who was going to lend Dous a thousand five on short notice? What’s more, his dad would hear
about it, sooner orter… and then he’d be in for it.
This was his way out. He’d be a fool not to take it.
“Alright, Gerald!” Dous said. “Just cover for me this time, and I’ll pay you back tomorrow!”
“No problem—but you’ll have to write me an IOU!” Gerald chuckled.
The waitress produced pen and paper for them.
His face a portrait of misery, Dous nevertheless wrote out that IOU and presented it to Gerald.
Then he took back that hundred-dor bill on the side table, and stuffed it back into his wallet, before
making his escape with Le.
Outside, Dous decided to get back at Gerald a little. “Hmph! Le, it would have been silly not to
take advantage of that fool, back there! I’ve been disgraced in front of him this time, but heh! When he
Hearing him speak like this, Le felt like she didn’t even know who he was anymore. Was this really
the man she’d taken as her boyfriend?
What a piece of trash!

That’s what Dous looked like to her right now. There was a time when Le used to believe that
money wasn’t the most important thing. Having been raised in thep of luxury, she’d never wanted for
money herself. As such, she’d decided that she needn’t find a boyfriend who was totally loaded—as
long as he could treat her to a little something once in a while, that’d be fine!
Dous was well-connected, and had an amazing job, so he’d been her preferred choice. After all,
everywhere he went, people looked up to him.
However, after what had happened today in that restaurant, Le’s worldview had been changed
completely.
Someone who could give her a little treat, once in a while? Forget that! Without money, they wouldn’t
even be able to get anything worth eating!
Le wanted to be at that table with Gerald right now, partaking in that sumptuous feast—but Dous
couldn’t afford it.
He couldn’t even afford to pay for a broken vase of flowers.
Someone had bailed him out, and now he was plotting revenge against that someone.
Was this her type of guy? Le shook her head.
“Le,e on! I’ll drive you home!”
