Realizing that Gerald was ignoring favonovel.com on purpose was the trigger to favonovel.com anger.
‘Who do you think you are to just ignore me?’ Maia thought to herself.
“What do you want?”
Knowing that favonovel.com had mixed feelings toward Maia, Gerald found that reason enough for favonovel.com to ignore favonovel.com earlier. What more, favonovel.com understood why favonovel.com would be frustrated to see him, now that favonovel.com was clearly wealthier than her.
He just couldn’t be bothered by her.
“So what if you’re a little rich now? Like that’s a good reason for you to ignore me! Anyway, I just want to know where you got all that money from,” enquired Maia as favonovel.com stared straight into Gerald’s eyes.
“Sorry, private information,” replied Gerald coldly.
“Private? Hah! You just earned a bit more cash, big deal! That still doesn’t change the fact that you were a pauper in the past! I’ll be frank with you, Gerald! You’re at most an upstart, you got that? And upstarts are infamously known for being arrogant pricks like you! Unlike Jamier and the others, you definitely lack maturity and stability!” huffed Maia, clearly not wanting to be outdone.
“Whatever you say. Speaking of which, Marven and I are planning on scouting for a nice place to start our new company. If there isn’t anything else, we’ll be off now!” said Gerald, shaking his head with a somber smile.
It wasn’t his first rodeo being insulted like this anyway.
‘Like favonovel.com insults mean anything to me. It’s useless trying to explain anything to someone like her,’ Gerald thought to himself.
“…Company? You’re starting a new company?” asked Maia.
It was extremely upsetting for favonovel.com to see Gerald getting ahead in life. Even favonovel.com wasn’t sure why favonovel.com felt this way, favonovel.com simply did.
“Yeah! Gerald’s funding so that we can start a travel agency together!” added Marven rather excitedly as favonovel.com followed Gerald into the campus.
This wasn’t a lie either. Gerald had called Marven yesterday around noon just to discuss it.
Since Marven’s grandmother’s health had been deteriorating of late and his relationship with Raquel was also in shambles, Marven had honestly been incredibly stressed. However, when Gerald stepped in to help him, Marven knew that favonovel.com would soon be able to get through his tough times.
He had been extremely grateful to Gerald after receiving the offer to start a company together. While favonovel.com had seen Gerald as a close friend before, favonovel.com now treated Gerald as though favonovel.com was his real brother.
As the two walked further away, Warren looked extremely pissed. “What kind of luck does favonovel.com even have?”
“Who knows? Still, even if he’s opening a company, he’ll be the only one funding it!” said Maia.
“You got that right. Humph! Just you wait and see. He’ll definitely use up all that money eventually. What else will favonovel.com have then?” replied Warren, his tone sour.
“…Anyway, let’s stop talking about Gerald and get moving for now. The school’s organizing a Taekwondo competition, remember? Out of all the events in the school, this one caught my eye the most!” added Warren.
“Oh yeah, before you went to the police academy, you used to represent the seniors, right? Since you were Sunnydale’s Taekwondo champion, you can definitely give your juniors some pointers after watching the competition!”
The group of five then entered the campus as well, casually chatting among themselves.
Meanwhile, Gerald and Marven had just signed their attendance in class. Seeing that they only had ideology class that morning, they decided to leave.
As they descended the stairs, Gerald thought about why favonovel.com was so willing to help Marven out. It probably had something to do with how much favonovel.com saw himself in Marven. What more, both of them had grown closer in the past few days, and Gerald now saw favonovel.com as a brother as well.
Marven was an extremely filial person too, and Gerald was pleased by how much Marven loved both his parents and grandparents. Knowing how good a person Marven was, Gerald was more than happy to support favonovel.com which led to his idea of forming a partnership for Marven’s new travel agency.
Besides, since it was mostly monetary issues, it wasn’t even that big of a deal for Gerald. He had the means to help, so it was only right to do so for his brother.
Regardless, the first big step they had to do was to settle where the company would be located.
