“What’s the big news?”
Gerald froze. However, hearing that his sister would be coming, favonovel.com thought back to one year ago, when favonovel.com and both his parents had gone abroad to work off some debts, and how he’d never seen them since. This was a truly exciting prospect.
Of course, that was just a story they’d made up to tell him.
“Ahahaha…you’ll find out when I tell you! Alright, eat your dinner!”
Doot… doot…With that, Jessica had hung up.
Zack Lyle and Michael Zeke were turning pale. “Mr Crawford? Will Director Jessica be coming here?”
“Yup, that’s right!” Gerald replied. “Three days from now! No idea why!”
The two men looked as though they were going to be ill. They must be terrified of his sister.
Next, Gerald had dinner with them and talked about simpler things.
Three or four hours crawled slowly by.
“I say, where are you, Gerald?” Felicity just called favonovel.com directly. She sounded most displeased.
Gerald checked the time. Whoops, it was already well past eight!
There was a rule at these hot springs: After sunset, no one was to make too much noise. Remembering that time when some celebrity starlet was trying to sneak a dip in the baths, and nearly started a fight with him…
…what more a grand function like tonight.
“Oh! I’ll bring the car around right away!” Hanging up, favonovel.com fetched the car and picked up Felicity and friends, who were ready to leave for the night.
“Blast! Did you do this on purpose, Gerald? What did I instruct you? When the party’s about to finish, have the car ready nearby! Instead, you were nowhere to be found!” The moment favonovel.com got into the car, Felicity started chewing his ear off.
“On purpose? Perish the thought! It’s just that you forbade me from stepping inside there, so how was I to know when the party would be ending?” Gerald whined.
“Y-y-you…just for that, you’re only getting half pay tonight!” Yvonne snapped.
“Gosh, what an utter failure you are!”
When the guests came out, some of the other drivers had already been standing by at the entrance, but where had hers been? Even when she’d walked all the way out to the car, the man himself had been nowhere in sight. The shame of it!
“I’ll drop you ladies off at our campus and then I’ll return this car!” Gerald muttered.
“Back to campus? Forget that!” Yvonne snapped. “We haven’t had enough fun yet tonight—we want to head to Emperor so we can sing all night long. Am I right, Felicity?”
It had actually been a marvellous evening already, and they’d gotten to see Wayfair Mountain Entertainment. However, the girls were reluctant to call it a night, including Cassandra.
Especially Cassandra. Several of Felicity’s superiors had gotten favonovel.com drinks and even asked for favonovel.com number. Back then, favonovel.com would have only been too delighted.
Now, though, favonovel.com heart belonged to Ordinary Man.
Nevertheless, she’d felt very flattered.
“Yeah, send us to Emperor Karaoke, then return the car!” Cassandra said pleasantly.
There was nothing for it but to do as he’d been told before finally driving himself back to campus.
“Gosh…what do you think? A guy like Gerald—what kind of woman would be willing to be with him?”
In their own private room, the girls were drinking and chatting together as music played.
For want of a better topic of conversation, their thoughts strayed back to Gerald.
“Heh! Speaking honestly, a guy like favonovel.com has no hope of getting himself a girlfriend. Even if favonovel.com gets married one day, it won’t be to any great beauty, and even if favonovel.com is, she’ll most likely be used goods. The reasons are simple—one, he’s dead broke; and two, he’s a total loser!” Felicity was drunk now and spoke with little restraint.
“You’re wrong… Gerald has a girlfriend! You may not be aware of this, but…she’s a radio DJ and she’s really pretty!” Naomi didn’t feel comfortable listening to them insult Gerald like this.
“Pah. Wasn’t Xavia pretty too? And what happened there?” Yvonne sneered, then perked up as favonovel.com broached another topic. “Oh, yeah! Speaking of which…Felicity, what kind of guy are you looking for?”
“Oh, me? Well…he’s gotta be hot, of course—that’s one. Two, favonovel.com has to be able to afford me. Three, um…someone from an influential family. Four, someone nice. Five, willing to spend lots of money on me. Six…”
“Good heavens, couldn’t you just say that you’re looking for someone like Ordinary Man?”
