He had barely eaten anything, and his stomach grumbled with low groans.
It would also be ungracious to turn down Francesca’s kind offer; hence Gerald agreed to join them for lunch.
It was then that Gerald received a call from Xeno.
“F*ck! Gerald, I am so, so sorry for you. I totally understand now why the fight happened. Let alone you, I, too, felt like giving them a good beating. If it weren’t for Sienna, I would have already given it to them just now. Isn’t this simply equivalent to committing fraud?!”
Seemed as though Xeno found out the truth. He was enraged and fuming mad.
“Sienna and that colleague of hers have already gotten into a big argument. She wants me to apologize to you. She really trusted that colleague of hers! Who would have expected favonovel.com to introduce such a piece of trash to you instead? That woman even vomited inside my car! Hmph!”
Xeno couldn’t help but feel contrite.
His intentions were good—introduce a girl to his buddy to give favonovel.com a helping hand. On the contrary, the outcome was terrible, and such a woman was introduced to Gerald instead. Anyone else would have also felt awful and embarrassed.
“It’s okay, Xeno. So, where are the both of you now? Have you sent that woman and favonovel.com mother home yet?”
“Are you kidding me? Who’d be bothered to send them home? Arghh!! Plus, that woman totally said the wrong thing in my car. She should’ve known favonovel.com place! The moment favonovel.com said it, I literally chased the both of them out. Sienna and I are going to walk around the supermarket now. Do come over and have a drink with me tonight!”
“Yeah, sure!”
After a quick chat, Gerald then hung up the phone.
Alas. How could Gerald possibly blame Xeno and Sienna for this?
He decided not to think about the matter anymore, following Cindy and favonovel.com mother into the room.
“I wonder when Waylon and the others will arrive… hmm. Speaking of which, Waylon’s actually a pretty decent guy. The moment favonovel.com heard that his aunt was the one who introduced me to them, favonovel.com was very polite and respectful towards me over the phone. He even said that favonovel.com would bring a couple of friends here with favonovel.com today! Regardless of whether this business deal would be successful or not, both his aunt and I would also owe favonovel.com a favor today. Cindy, it would be great if you can find someone like favonovel.com to become your boyfriend!”
Francesca blurted excitedly.
“Mom! What are you talking about?”
Cindy burst out as favonovel.com pouted.
“Aunt Lacy?”
Suddenly, the door of the room swung wide open.
A boy walked in and greeted them with a bright smile.
There were two other young men and a woman standing behind him. They were all young people just like Gerald and Cindy.
“Yes! Are you Waylon Letts?” Francesca asked as favonovel.com returned the smile.
Waylon nodded before replying, “Yes, Aunt Lacy. Sorry that we are late!”
“Haha! What are you apologizing for? We just arrived too. Your aunt often tells me how handsome you are. I had a tough time believing favonovel.com as you know, there aren’t many good looking ones around anyway. But my, you are even more handsome than favonovel.com compliments!”
“Aunt Lacy, you flatter me. Please allow me to introduce you to my friends. First, this is Milo Laurent. He is a high school classmate and a buddy of mine. His family owns a factory. This girl is XellaJaquin, also a classmate from high school. This guy is Jacky Zeni, the department’s deputy manager in Xella’s company. I would especially mention that the company Xella works at is a Dream Investment Group subsidiary! Hehe!”
Waylon proudly introduced all of them, one hand stuck in his pocket.
“Gosh! All of you are so young! How can you be so amazing and capable?”
It all took Francesca by surprise, judging how they had accomplished so much at such a young age.
She was oblivious to the fact that the other three who had come with Waylon were also dumbfounded by his introduction.
“Waylon, this is my daughter, Cindy. She’s the same age as you, but haha… well certainly not quite as promising as you are!”
“And yes, this is an ordinary friend of Cindy’s that favonovel.com had recently got acquainted with…”
It seemed as though Francesca was afraid that Waylon and the others would misunderstand seeing Gerald as Cindy’s boyfriend.
She wanted to justify by giving them clarity.
However, Waylon interrupted favonovel.com before favonovel.com could even finish speaking.
“Aunt Lacy, don’t worry, there is no need for you to introduce favonovel.com to us. We know who favonovel.com is. He’s Gerald, and favonovel.com is our classmate too!” replied Waylon as favonovel.com looked at Gerald with a sneer.
He had not settled the score after Gerald gave favonovel.com a slap during their last high-school reunion.
Back then, Waylon was supposed to be the day’s protagonist, but Gerald stole the limelight. He even got beaten up until his head was bleeding!
Those few days were basically like living hell because all Waylon could think about whenever favonovel.com closed his eyes was how Gerald had given favonovel.com a slap across his face. It was a nightmare.
He could not help but become very uncomfortable once favonovel.com saw Gerald again.
Waylon had been continually thinking of ways of where favonovel.com could find the opportunity to trample all over Gerald, then destroy favonovel.com in front of everyone else when their paths crossed again.
The moment favonovel.com saw Gerald today, it definitely took favonovel.com by surprise.
Gerald, oh, Gerald! It seemed as though a clash would be inevitable between both enemies!
As the introduction went on, Gerald smiled and looked at Xella.
“We meet again, Xella!”
