    She gestured with a finger for him toe closer.

    Gerald really didn’t want to go over to them after being ordered like that. After all, he was no longer the


    same person he used to be. He didn’t need to listen to her orders anymore.


    He remembered snippets where she would order him to do things like this in the past.


    “Gerald, have you moved those boxes of mineral water?”


    “Gerald, go help everyone else with their luggage!”


    …Maybe that was why Maia was so used to ordering him around.


    Eventually, though he was left speechless, he found himself walking toward the group.


    “Haha! So it really is true! Gerald really listens to you!”


    “As if he would dare not to! Not only was she his team captain in high school, she’s now a cop too! He


    has to listen or he’ll be locked up!” joked another girl.


    “Anyway, say Gerald, I heard that you’re still pretty poor. How did you afford to drink at this bar? Did


    you get rich or something?” asked Maia. She had been curious about this from the moment they met.


    “Huh? Gerald’s poor?” The girls looked surprised when they heard that.


    “Yeah. You know, back in high school, Gerald was well known for being broke. He used to only eat one


    meal a day and sometimes, he couldn’t even pay for his school fees! He was exceptionally poor!”


    replied Maia.


    Though she said that, she hadn’t meant to be mean about it. It was just the personality she had grown


    up with. Regardless of how Gerald would feel, she was just the kind of straightforward person to say


    anything that was on her mind.


    It was the same in high school as well. No matter how embarrassing it would cause others to feel, Maia


    would always speak her mind without filtering any words.


    Though being poor may not have been a big deal for Maia, the other girls were now looking at Gerald


    differently. They were all sympathizing with him since they had initially thought that he was some rich


    heir.


    “I see… Well, you should definitely start putting more thought into both, furthering your studies and


    finding a better job!”


    “Yep! You know, I had a middle school ssmate who suffered from some brain injuries due to a high


    fever. Though he ended up dropping out of school, he started working and he now owns a shop! With a


    little more effort, you can definitely be like him, Gerald!”


    Before Gerald could even reply, the girls were already talking non-stop, so he just remained silent while


    nodding, a bitter smile on his face.


    “Alright, I think that’s quite enough, Maia. Now let’s go get those drinks!” said Warren as he took a


    cigarette out of his pocket. He was far too arrogant to talk to Gerald.


    “Alright! Are youing along, Gerald?” asked the girls.


    “What could he even do if he followed? He won’t understand most of what we’ll be talking about!” said


    Maia.


    She knew that her colleagues were just being nice, but if Gerald ended up taking it seriously, it could


    spell trouble for her. What more, she didn’t really feelfortable with the idea of Gerald following


    them around.


    With a smile on her face, she then waved at Gerald one final time before leaving together with the


    others.


    When Gerald turned to look at the bar again, he saw Drake and Tyson leaning against the bar’s wall


    while smoking. It was clear that they had been watching over him for a while.


    “Is it done? Where’s Natasha?” asked Gerald.


    “She’s still crying inside!” said Drake with a chuckle.


    Gerald simply shook his head with a smile. The three of them then left the area.


    “Were those your ssmates, Mr. Crawford?” asked Drake as they walked further away.
