At that moment, Maia said, “Actually, I’m not sure if we’re even friends at the moment. Even if I asked favonovel.com to help me, it’s quite likely that he’ll turn me down. But I’ll give it a try!”
She reluctantly whipped out favonovel.com cell phone and called Gerald’s number.
She felt conflicted about this. To be forced to beg for help from someone who favonovel.com was looking down on. Not to mention the fact that favonovel.com had once hurt favonovel.com with painful words in the past.
But favonovel.com indeed needed Gerald’s help to resolve that issue.
It did not occur to Gerald that Maia, who was as proud as a peacock, would call favonovel.com up at this moment.
In that instant, favonovel.com burst out laughing to himself.
“What’s wrong?”
Gerald asked.
“Gerald, you… do you know Mr. Zartyr?” Maia’s voice was extremely soft.
“Yes, I do know him! Just tell me what you want to say!” Gerald said lightly.
“You should be aware that we’re in great trouble now. If you do know him, I hope that you can help introduce us to favonovel.com or at the very least, mention our names in front of him!”
Maia’s face was flushed red when favonovel.com told favonovel.com that.
“There’s not a problem if you want me to mention it to him. But the problem is, what will I gain out of this? Give me one good reason why I should help you.”
Gerald smiled and said.
“I!”
“How about this? You can come into the villa with Isabelle to discuss it. But only the two of you are allowed to come in.”
Gerald said.
“Fine!”
After that, Gerald hung up the phone.
Clearly, Isabelle and the others heard their conversion.
“Ah? Maia, what do you think? Why did Gerald ask only the two of us to enter that villa? You do know that I fought with favonovel.com before. Not to mention the countless times we’ve gotten into a verbal fight. I’m worried about what he’ll do to me when I…”
It seemed like Isabelle had it all thought out beforehand. She then turned away, blushing shyly.
“No, favonovel.com wouldn’t dare to do that… I don’t believe that he’ll do anything to us. I know what sort of a person favonovel.com is. After we enter the villa, let me talk to him. You can just stay behind me!”
Maia thought to herself, ‘Gerald, you’re quite capable now, aren’t you? But I don’t buy it, not one bit. What can you really do?’
Both Maia and Isabelle were then led into the villa by one of the servants working there.
Mr. Zartyr’s villa was indeed very spacious.
There were more than ten servants downstairs.
That person led the two of them up to the first floor.
In a large conference room.
“Mr. Crawford is in there.”
The servant said respectfully.
“Alright, thanks!”
Maia’s voice sounded nervous.
She opened the door and entered the conference room, to discover that it was packed to the brim.
Most of them were middle-aged people, and their secretaries were there with them too.
There were at least forty people sitting inside.
Nearly all of those middle-aged men were famous businessmen in Salford Province.
Maia knew a handful of them from reading the newspapers.
Isabelle on the other hand, knew instantly that these were all big shots.
Hence, the atmosphere became tense all of a sudden.
What made both Maia and Isabelle so nervous was the fact that Gerald was sitting at the seat of honor at the conference desk.
On the other hand, Mr. Zartyr was seated next to Gerald.
“You guys should head out now. I’d like to talk to them alone. Mr. Zartyr, remember to come back here after you’re done with business,” announced Gerald.
“Yes, Mr. Crawford!”
That group of people got up from their seats and said in unison.
That scene frightened both Maia and Isabelle even more.
It was only after they all left the room that both Maia and Isabelle snapped out of their mental haze.
Gerald smiled and looked at them. “Do sit down. Why are you standing there?”
“Gerald, they… Why did they address you as Mr. Crawford?”
Maia gulped nervously after favonovel.com asked the question with a hint of disbelief in favonovel.com voice.
