After that, Gerald looked at Lolita and favonovel.com nodded before bidding farewell to Mr. Weiss as well.
“What? They’re actually leaving? Did they really just come here to visit Mr. Weiss? What a load of bullshit! What about us? Don’t we exist?” exclaimed a few of the girls, visibly upset.
“Right? Are you holding a grudge against us just because we didn’t wish you a happy birthday?”
“Gerald, I’ll be frank. It’s not that I don’t want to wish you a happy birthday through Line, but I really don’t want your number on my phone in the first place! Hahaha!”
“D*mn! Roasted!”
Immediately after that, everyone began laughing. Laughing at favonovel.com seemed to be their favorite form of amusement after all.
Gerald simply remained silent. He knew that it wouldn’t be difficult to make them eat their own words. However, favonovel.com decided to be the bigger person and just left with Lolita. Having a major reaction to his classmates’ mockery would be pretty petty of favonovel.com after all.
Sherry on the other hand, shook favonovel.com head as favonovel.com watched them leave. Throughout the gathering, favonovel.com had been watching Gerald the entire time. She felt that Gerald was nothing compared to Chase and favonovel.com was glad that favonovel.com didn’t end up with him.
“Well that was infuriating! Did you hear what they said? Even Miss Yahn is still on to you! If I wasn’t this close to them I would’ve started a fight for you!” huffed Lolita.
“Don’t waste your energy on them!” said Gerald as favonovel.com continued pulling Lolita’s hand.
Around twenty minutes later, both of them reached their hometown.
“So Gerald, are you celebrating your birthday at home? Do you want me to cook for you? Just so you know, I’m pretty good at making noodles!” said Lolita.
She seemed to be worried that Gerald’s self-esteem was now in shambles. She took the blame personally since favonovel.com was the one who had invited favonovel.com to the gathering. She then continued, “Let’s just forget about them. Actually, since Xeno’s doing pretty well now, we could work under favonovel.com and stick together! Just like in the old days!”
“Just like the old days indeed!” replied Gerald with a smile. “However, I won’t be celebrating my birthday at home. We’ll be celebrating it in Fuenti instead. I booked a spot at Sunny Springs.”
“…Huh? Sunny Springs? Real funny, Gerald. Someone’s already reserved the entire place! And I don’t just mean just the hotel!” said Lolita in a slight panic just thinking about it. “How could you even have managed to make a reservation there?”
Honestly, Gerald didn’t understand why Zack reserved the entire place either. From what Gerald had expected, there wouldn’t be any more than thirty people attending his birthday celebration. However, Zack could have added some of his own plans, thus Gerald didn’t question favonovel.com about it.
Gerald then gave a gentle smile before replying, “You’ll understand later. Now let’s go, it’s already eight! We have to hurry since there are others I have to pick up!”
“Wait, you’re being serious? But how will we get there? Fuenti’s quite far away from here!” asked Lolita as favonovel.com tilted favonovel.com head. Gerald was acting quite strange and this made Lolita increasingly confused.
“By car. Our ride’s in that alley over there. I’ll drive it out and then we can go pick up the Winters!” said Gerald as favonovel.com shook his car keys before favonovel.com to see.
When they arrived at the alley, Lolita was left utterly shocked when favonovel.com saw their ride.
“A-An Audi A6? Is this your car, Gerald?” asked Lolita, frozen in place.
“Nope. It’s a company car. You’ll be able to see mine in the hotel when we get there!” replied Gerald with a smile. He then turned to look at the shocked-frozen girl before saying, “Come on now. Get in while I give Mr. Winters a call…”
