Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 585
She gestured with a finger for him to come 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.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“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 classmate 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.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“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 you coming 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 feel comfortable 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 classmates, Mr. Crawford?” asked Drake as they walked further away.
