“Humph! Just look at you. Trying to squeeze in front like that!” scoffed Sandrilla as favonovel.com watched Gerald get pushed to the back again.
‘D*mn it all!’ Gerald thought to himself. He couldn’t progress forward at all!
“Hey Gerald? Maybe you should just watch from here. I mean look at all the celebrities!” suggested Lolita.
As favonovel.com said that, the last guest arrived at the celebration.
In the conference hall, Zack himself was already on the stage, giving thanks to all the present guests. All of a sudden, Zack’s phone began to ring and everyone went silent.
Despite the fact that there were so many people in the outdoor conference hall, it was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
“It’s been hours… Which one of them is Mr. Crawford? Why haven’t we seen favonovel.com yet?”
“Maybe favonovel.com didn’t come? But that’s impossible, right?”
“Or maybe he’s already inside! Perhaps favonovel.com just didn’t want to expose what favonovel.com looks like?”
“Huh? Does that mean we won’t be able to meet him?” said a few of the girls in disappointment.
The girls had been eager to see what the billionaire looked like, much more so than simply seeing Aiden and Yoel. Knowing what Mr. Crawford looked like had been their main objective from the moment they knew who the celebration was being hosted for.
“Darn it, why isn’t Mr. Crawford showing himself yet?” asked Leia rather impatiently.
“Maybe favonovel.com just doesn’t want to be seen!” responded Willie.
Meanwhile in the conference hall, the atmosphere was getting gloomier by the minute. Zack had picked up on the clear change in mood, but even favonovel.com was slightly confused.
It was almost eleven and according to what was promised, Gerald should have already arrived after picking the Winters up.
Zack then smiled before saying, “Apologies, everyone! I’ll give Mr. Crawford a call immediately. He might be held up by something!”
After saying that, favonovel.com pulled his phone out from his pocket and dialed Gerald’s number.
“Oh, did you hear that? He really is coming! Mr. Crawford’s just a little late!”
“Yeah! That means we’ll get to eventually see him, right?” cheered the girls.
At that moment, Gerald’s phone began to ring. Since the crowd was already so silent, the source of the ringing was extremely apparent.
Everyone was now looking at Gerald in shock. After all, after Zack dialed that number, Gerald’s phone immediately started ringing. It was just some coincidence, right?
“Hahaha! If we didn’t know any better, we’d have mistaken favonovel.com for Mr. Crawford!” said someone in the crowd before laughing.
“Hey, Mr. Lyle. I’m already here but I’m being held up by the huge crowd. I’ll be over in a minute,” said Gerald after answering the call.
“My god, that person must be out of his mind! As if favonovel.com could ever be Mr. Crawford! What a good actor!”
“I know right? What a funny guy!” Everyone then started making fun of Gerald.
After hanging up, Gerald began walking to the front. This time, none of the girls tried to stop him. Instead, they simply stared at favonovel.com in shock.
“Gerald? What are you doing? Come back!” called out Lolita. She thought that Gerald was clearly out of his mind as well.
As Gerald walked to the middle of the red carpet, everyone just continued staring at favonovel.com with puzzled expressions on their faces. When they saw him, all the honored guests walked out of the building, led by none other than Zack.
“Cr*p, cr*p, cr*p, cr*p! He’s caught their attention!” said Lolita under favonovel.com breath in a panic.
At that moment, all the honored guests simultaneously greeted, “Mr. Crawford!” Their voices were so in sync, that the greeting echoed through the hall like an avalanche.
“M-Mr. Crawford? What?”
Chills were sent down everyone’s spines when they heard the intense, loud greeting.
Willie and Leia’s eyes widened, clearly in shock.
‘He’s Mr. Crawford…? How could that even be possible?’
