    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 523


    “I’m so sorry, Gerald! Please forgive me!” said Mina while bowing toward Gerald as though she was


    deeply regretting her past actions. Gerald was surprised, to say the least, at her sudden change of


    attitude. He wasn’t alone either, as the entire department was staring at her in shock as well.


    “Please, Gerald! I really want a ticket… Could you sell one to me?” said Mina in a soft tone as she


    stared into Gerald’s eyes. She was Kai’s hardcore fan, so she was willing to give anything just to be


    able to see him perform live.


    Gerald was rightfully hesitant since he was, after all, mad at her before this. Normally, he would choose


    to ignore her at all costs. However, she now seemed to be truly sorry for her past actions, and seeing


    that softened Gerald’s heart. So be it, he would grant her, her wish.

    “Just take one. I have plenty anyway!” replied Gerald as he handed her a ticket. Mina’s eyes glimmered


    with immense gratitude and she bowed again toward him as she took the ticket from his hand.


    “U-um… Gerald, may I have one too?”


    “M-me too!”


    “Gerald, could you sell some to us? We’re colleagues after all, aren’t we?”


    From what Gerald could see, there were about seven other girls who were hardcore fans like Mina.


    They surrounded him instantly, disying big puppy dog eyes to ensure that they would each get a


    ticket.


    More of Gerald’s other colleagues started crowding around him as well, and with fangirlsing from


    all four teams, the total headcount easily amounted to thirty people. However, Gerald didn’t have that


    many tickets on hand at that moment.


    He had no choice but to ce the stack of tickets on his desk before saying, “I won’t be needing so


    many anyway, so take one each and have fun!”


    Hearing that, all the girls gasped before rushing over to his table to grab their tickets.


    Ava, on the other hand, hadn’t budged from her initial spot. She was staring at Gerald with mixed


    emotions brewing within her. Gerald hadn’t mentioned how he had gotten his hands on all those tickets,


    but she knew that the ticket prices were soaring high.


    ‘How much money had he used to get his hands on so many tickets?


    ‘And he’s giving them away so nonchntly!


    ‘Could he have won the lottery?’


    All these thoughts filled Ava’s head and she felt as though she was being crushed by a boulder. Just


    the day before, Nathaniel had told her to remove Gerald from the party list. Ava had done so without


    the slightest hesitation since she was well aware of how Nathaniel was trying to get everyone to


    boycott Gerald. With any luck, Gerald would be out of sight and out of mind soon enough, but oh how


    the tables had turned now.


    If she were to bepletely honest, Ava wanted a ticket herself. However, she dismissed the thought


    and immediately returned to her work. She simply couldn’t bring herself to beg someone—especially a


    person whom she looked down on—for something she wanted.


    Moving back to Nathaniel, he had reached rock bottom with his luck. Not only did he fail to ask Bianca


    out, he had also been relieved of his position as the vice team leader. Under Mr. Briggs’s orders, he


    was now under probation as well.


    When lunchtime came, the employee’s canteen filled up quickly as usual. The girls from the marketing


    department sat at their usual table and gossiped as they had their lunch.


    “Hey girls, do you think that Gerald’s secretly a billionaire? Like, those low-profile ones? Maybe he’s


    just here to experience the working life of an average Joe in ourpany!” eximed a girl as she held


    on to her ticket.


    “Huh? That’s a bold im… Do you have anything to back that up with?” asked another female


    employee as the group of girls huddled closer together.


    “Well, just think about it! How much would all those tickets have cost? And they’re not just any regr


    tickets either. Gerald was able to secure twenty T zone tickets when we were all struggling to even get


    ones for thest row! What more, he simply gave them out to us like they didn’t even matter to him. I


    bet he still has many more on him!”


    “You’re right! Who do you think he really is? I bet he’s just trying to humble himself down, don’t you


    think, girls?” asked yet another colleague.


    “I believe so too! He must be quite a powerful person! He’s definitely far from what someone had


    described him to be like during the party! Hah, imagine thinking for a second that Gerald was actually


    broke as a joke!” added a fifth girl as she looked toward Ava.


    Ava had been sitting within listening distance and she had been visibly annoyed throughout their


    conversation about Gerald.


    “I know right? Half of the party was just her bad-mouthing Gerald. The audacity of some people!” This


    time, it was Mina who spoke. Ava Anderson knew clear as day that they were all referring to her.
