“You… You smoke these kinds of cigarettes, Gerald…?”
Everyone felt like they had just received mental slaps to their faces. This was especially so for Yura.
To think that favonovel.com had specifically brought along cigarettes that favonovel.com had asked his friend to buy for favonovel.com all the way from M country. The ones favonovel.com had were really precious and expensive.
He had honestly been waiting to pass them around so that the crowd would praise and admire him.
After all, when a young man went out, the first thing people would tend to notice would be his attire. Next, they would see what kind of watch favonovel.com was wearing. Last but not least, if favonovel.com was a smoker, they would definitely want to identify what brand of cigarettes favonovel.com smoked. All these worked together to establish a man’s ‘grades’.
To Yura’s dismay, favonovel.com was the one who ended up receiving the mental slap once Gerald took his own box of cigarettes out!
“I don’t usually smoke. I just grabbed these as I was heading out today!” explained Gerald.
He hadn’t really expected a simple box of cigarettes to cause such a sensation. It made favonovel.com feel quite helpless.
“Hah! Then it’s probably a fake! If the cigarettes truly are as great as you described, how could Gerald possibly have gotten his hands on them?” replied Marilyn who was still in disbelief.
“Probably? It’s a hundred percent fake! Gerald probably doesn’t even realize that he’s been deceived! If you really wanted to leave home with a box of cigarettes in hand, you could’ve just bought a box of Marlboro cigarettes! Those cost a few measly dollars at most! Carrying fake X-One cigarettes around… What a joke!” sneered the boy from before as favonovel.com tossed the box of cigarettes to the side.
Sensing the chance to show off in front of Giya, Yura then immediately said, “Gerald, Gerald, Gerald… It’s not like I want to badmouth you or anything, but you should realize by now that we all know the ins-and-outs of your background like the back of our hands… There really is no need for you to try showing off in front of us… Regardless, you’ve already graduated, right? Have you found a job yet?”
His tone gave the illusion of favonovel.com being a knowledgeable person, and once his question ended, favonovel.com looked at Giya who was sitting right beside him.
“Nope!” replied Gerald as favonovel.com shook his head.
“What else are you waiting for? With university over, you should be grabbing hold of any opportunity you can get to work! It’s time to stop thinking about pointless things and start being more realistic! Though you may still be poor now, as long as you’re diligent enough, there’ll exist a possibility where you’ll eventually become rich in the future! Focus more on that instead of showing-off!” said Yura aloud as favonovel.com smiled wryly.
“Amazing! Did you hear what Yura said, Gerald? His words were reasonable so you should make sure that you take his advice to heart!” added Marilyn as favonovel.com poked the back of Gerald’s head with a finger.
If it wasn’t because of his mission, Gerald would’ve already given Marilyn a few tight slaps across favonovel.com face by now.
“While I’m at it, you should understand that the Yaleman family is more complicated than you think. Be a little more pragmatic and realize already that some things just aren’t going to happen!” said Yura who simply assumed that Gerald was back because favonovel.com wanted a share of the family assets.
Yura wanted Giya to see how little worth Gerald had in front of a strong person like him, which was why favonovel.com was publicly preaching favonovel.com now. He’d trample all over Gerald’s ego if it was the last thing favonovel.com did.
At that moment, a foreign girl with golden, curly hair entered the room. In favonovel.com hands, was a bottle of very expensive-looking red wine.
“You’ve always supported me, Mr. Yaleman! So this bottle of red wine is on the house!” announced the girl in broken Weston dialect.
“How kind of you, Miss Delilah! Thank you!” replied Yura with a smile as favonovel.com stood up.
“Hot d*mn! How incredible! People are giving you respect wherever you go, Yura!” said Marilyn excitedly before shaking Giya’s arm.
“Did you know that this bar we’re in is the most luxurious of its kind in Yanken, Giya? Miss Delilah over there is the owner of this very bar! You should know that several foreigners and powerful figures frequent this place! Yet here favonovel.com is, giving Yura a bottle of red wine on the house!”
Hearing Marilyn’s words, the other girls present felt equally honored and pleased.
A few of them even said, “Hah! But of course! It’s because of the Yaleman family’s reputation and also the fact that Yura himself is so powerful!”
The girls could tell how interested Yura was in Giya, so they were now praising favonovel.com in hopes that favonovel.com would eventually fall for him.
