    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 413


    “Hmph! Gerald, don’t you even know how to wait for us outside once you’ve got a table?” When Tammy


    reached him, Giya was by her side. The first thing that spewed out of her mouth was abuse.


    Gerald put down his phone and smiled faintly. He’d been preupied with reading investment reports


    coming in from Zack Lyle.


    Meanwhile, Sully and the others were staring as though their eyes might pop out of their sockets.


    “What? What! These are the friends Gerald was going on about?”


    Cameron still stood there, phone in hand, his face now turning blue.


    They ignored him, but yet, they were so friendly to Gerald? st! It was indeed a vicious p across


    the face!


    “Huh? Gerald, happen to know those people at the next table?”


    Giya had taken a seat beside him, and she now wondered why everyone at the adjacent table seemed


    to be gawking strangely in his direction.


    “Hey, hey! Gerald, why don’t you introduce your friends to us? When I went up to wee them, those


    ladies just brushed me off, you know?”


    Cameron, smiling stiffly, tried again.


    He thought Gerald perhaps hadn’t moved to receive the girls, hoping that Cameron might get some


    humiliation there.


    He continued in an aggravated tone, “How are you doing,dies? We went to the same high school as


    Gerald! How lucky we must be to meet such gorgeous girls today… Really, this isn’t right of you,


    Gerald—thedies have already taken their seats, so why aren’t you ordering anything to eat? How


    could you bear to watch these beauties starve?”


    Desperate to salvage his dignity, Cameron was now hovering beside Gerald’s table, trying to assert


    himself as someone handy, hoping to attract the attention of those girls.


    “Indeed, they’re my ex-ssmates from high school. What a small world we live in!” Gerald reluctantly


    admitted.


    Giyaughed merrily.


    “That’s great! You ought to introduce these old friends of yours to me! After all, as your girlfriend, I can’t


    possibly not know who your friends are.”


    To her, it was simple: Gerald’s friends were her friends and though they were just masquerading as a


    couple, it was bing more real to her with each passing moment.

    However, thatst thing she said left everyone at the next table wholly disconcerted.


    What? Really? This epitome of loveliness was Gerald’s girlfriend? Seriously?


    Fires of jealousy red in the eyes of the other guys.


    Who were they? Uptown boys they were—filthy rich, set for life.


    Who was Gerald again? Some loser who couldn’t even rub two pennies together.


    Not all of them had even found their own girlfriends, yet here was Gerald, a supermodel by his side.


    Who wouldn’t be jealous? Without a doubt, Cameron was turning viridian green with swathes of envy


    oozing out of his chest.


    “So you’re Gerald’s girlfriend, I see! How do you do? I’m Cameron. My parents are in the Health


    Bureau. I do hospital work. Ahaha!” As he made clear his superiority, Cameron reached out to shake


    hands with Giya.


    With a flick of his wrist, a watch with themanding price tag of well over a thousand dors slid into


    view.


    Giya considered this fool before her, one who felt the inexplicable need to introduce not only himself


    but his parents as well. What an odd way to go about things.


    She decided not to take the hand he was offering her.


    Anxious not to embarrass Cameron too much, Gerald shook his hand instead, at least so he wouldn’t


    be left hanging there.


    “Haha! Who would have thought: Gerald Crawford, the renowned tramp of our year, back in high


    school… reviled and loathed everywhere he went…” Cameron went on. “Who could have possibly


    imagined that he might have caught himself such a ravishing beauty of a girlfriend?”


    As he said this, he shot a meaningful look at one of the other guys back at his table.


    The indicated henchman pped the tabletop hard! “That’s right! Gerald,” he shouted. “I can’t believe


    your luck! Do you all still remember that one time when Gerald almost couldn’t pay his own tuition fees


    because he was just six bucks short or something? Great Scott, our teacher chased him right out of the


    ssroom! Hahaha! And guess what—I think it rained heavily that day!”


    “Of course I remember,” Sully sneered. “Gerald trudged through the rain looking for trash to sell and


    somehow managed to scrape together thosest six dors, just so he could stay in school. Hahaha!


    No one in ss cared to lift a hand to help him! He’s suree a long way, hosting his own table at


    Mead Hall with that doll at his side… Well done!”


    There was a strange parade of veiled hints getting passed around here. They were digging up all


    manner of dirt from Gerald’s past, all to be stripped bare before Giya and her friends.


    Predictably, Tammy’s cousin and several of her friends were already peering at Gerald’s askance. Thus


    far, he sounded all but a sorry loser.


    “Never mind that, Gerald!” one of the guys hooted. “Tomemorate your girlfriend’s first-ever visit to


    Serene County, you can’t start lower than sixty dors each, right?”


    Cameron frowned.


    “What nonsense are you spouting over there? Only sixty dors?! This pair of goddesses are worth far


    more than that! Gerald, if you don’t go straight for the best quality at a hundred dors per person, you


    don’t deserve thepany of thesedies! Haha! But worry not, Gerald—if you’re strapped for cash, I’ll


    pay for you. It’s important to keep up appearances, after all!”


    Just then, the waiter arrived to take their order.
