The object in question was the jade bracelet that Gerald had given to favonovel.com before.
“From this moment onward, we’ll cease to have a relationship! Humph! To think that I kept this jade bracelet with me till now… At first, I thought that it would be a nice memento to keep with me since we would never be able to be with each other! However, mementos aren’t necessary anymore! You can have it back!” said Giya coldly as favonovel.com handed the bracelet over to him.
“Fine by me!”
“Also, Gerald, I hope that you’ll delete my contact number after this. You stick with your Mila and I’ll stick with Yunus. We’ll have no reason to see or even talk to each other again after that!”
“Will do!”
Gerald didn’t really have much else to say. After taking the bracelet, favonovel.com simply greeted Tammy and the other girls with a silent nod before immediately leaving the premise.
“…What? Why… Why did favonovel.com let you go so easily, Giya? What exactly happened between you two?” asked Tammy, favonovel.com confusion apparent in favonovel.com voice.
“It’s nothing, just stop asking about it. By the way, Yunus gave me a rather luxurious gift to me this afternoon. I’ll bring it over for all of you to see. Wait here while I go get it!” said Giya as favonovel.com wiped favonovel.com tears away and forced on a smile.
Seeing how hard Giya was forcing herself to smile, favonovel.com friends just couldn’t bring themselves to eat, drink, or enjoy themselves.
“Giya, could you please not be like this? Look, if you don’t want to talk about it, that’s fine, but could you please refrain from torturing yourself? We all know that you don’t like Yunus. You clearly like Gerald so why are you lying to yourself like this?” said Tammy.
“I’m not torturing myself at all! You’re all just overthinking this. You know, I think I finally understand now. I’ve never really liked Gerald the way a woman likes a man. Now that I think about it, all those feelings I had for favonovel.com were probably just out of pity and compassion! I never loved favonovel.com in the first place!”
“Regardless, I’m already quite happy and relaxed now. I no longer have to worry about or miss favonovel.com anymore! I can be together with Mr. Long and the Long’s daughter-in-law! Humph! To be frank, aren’t you all jealous of me?” said Giya with a smile.
Tammy and the others could only look at each other helplessly. Nobody knew what to say so they remained silent.
Gerald on the other hand, knew that everything between favonovel.com and Giya had finally ended. He couldn’t really put a name to the emotion favonovel.com was feeling.
It was neither joy, nor sorrow. To put simply, the feelings favonovel.com felt were complicated.
When favonovel.com got back to the hotel with the Drake & Tyson Duo, Gerald received a call from Zack regarding the search for the person who had leaped from the hotel’s seventh floor window.
Though Zack had implemented several tactics—some more forceful than others—to find that person, favonovel.com was unable to find the perpetrator.
From what they could speculate, the person they were looking for had to be a skilled climber. It would also be natural to assume that favonovel.com was very cunning as well.
While Gerald was fine with not getting instant results—since they had already received the needed clarification from Mr. Leach earlier that Gerald was indeed being slandered—the person who had leaped out the window still needed to be caught eventually.
Noticing that Zack was blaming himself, Gerald simply advised favonovel.com not to be too anxious.
The night was peaceful for Gerald and favonovel.com headed to bed early.
However, more chaotic things were happening amidst the peace.
As an unknown person sat beside a river, favonovel.com slyly said, “I’ve done what you wanted, Mr. Long. But I’ve yet to see the money that I’ve been promised.”
“Humph! Have patience! Your main goal is still to find a proper place to hide in. Worry not, the pay isn’t going anywhere!” sneered a cold voice on the other end of the line.
