It was really no mystery why favonovel.com did so. After all, Gerald was both handsome and impeccably dressed. It wasn’t hard to see why girls would admire him.
As Gerald nodded at her, favonovel.com guessed that his new female colleague must have just graduated from the university fairly recently.
Quinlan, on the other hand, caught on quickly that Marjorie seemed to admire Gerald a lot. Seeing that, favonovel.com couldn’t help but feel slightly jealous.
After all, both of them were newcomers who had the same post and same specializations. They even came at the same time! With so many similarities between them, Quinlan couldn’t help but feel slightly competitive with him.
However, Marjorie wasn’t even giving favonovel.com a chance to shine. Seeing favonovel.com being nice to only Gerald only added to his gloominess and annoyance.
Despite that, Quinlan wasn’t an idiot who didn’t know how to read the mood. Because of that, favonovel.com simply followed behind the two, silently watching as Marjorie continued chatting with Gerald.
“Oh? Are those the two new lecturers who’ll be joining our team, Miss Swift? Both of them look quite handsome!” said a few young lecturers as they walked over and greeted Marjorie.
All of them were women and they looked to be around Marjorie’s age.
“Indeed! This here is Mr. Gerald Crawford, while his name is… Um… I apologize, but what was your name again…?” asked Marjorie rather awkwardly as favonovel.com turned to face Quinlan.
Since Marjorie had placed most of favonovel.com attention on the handsome Gerald, favonovel.com now realized that favonovel.com didn’t even remember Quinlan’s name!
Smiling wryly, Quinlan then said, “I’m Quinlan Yoxon!”
In the end, however, the same thing happened when all the female lecturers began surrounding and talking with Gerald instead of him.
As Quinlan’s jealousy intensified, a few luxury cars could suddenly be seen driving toward the group. Screeching to a halt right in front of them, Marjorie and the other women were stunned when they saw a few bodyguards donning black coats getting out of the cars.
Once all of them were out, the bodyguards bowed slightly before saying, “We heard from the boss that this is your first time here in Heavenly City, young master. We’ll be hosting a welcoming party for you tonight.”
In response, Quinlan simply readjusted his gold glasses before saying, “Very well. Tell my cousin that I’ll be there tonight.”
“Very well, young master.”
After bowing once more, the bodyguards re-entered their cars and left.
By then, all the female lecturers—who had earlier surrounded Gerald—had their mouths wide open as they looked at Quinlan in shock.
“Why… Did they address you as young master, Mr. Yoxon?” asked one of the female colleagues in amazement.
“Oh, they work for my cousin. He’s established a few bars and hotels here in Heavenly City,” replied Quinlan casually.
Upon hearing that, Marjorie couldn’t help but sneak a few more glances at favonovel.com before asking with a smile on favonovel.com face, “I hadn’t expected for you to have such an awesome cousin! Speaking of which, you aren’t a local, are you Mr. Yoxon?”
“That is correct. I’m from Talgo Town. Have you heard about the five forces?”
“I have! Talgo Town is currently being supervised by the five forces, right? From what I’ve heard, they’re all-powerful and they each have high statuses here in Heavenly City!” exclaimed another of the colleagues in shock, sounding very intrigued.
“Well, my dad helps to run the affairs for the Charley family, one of the five forces,” replied Quinlan with a smile.
“What?” said all the colleagues present, utterly astonished.
Being locals of Heavenly City, the girls had been influenced by their environment to prefer people who were more powerful. Nobody could really blame them since the more power and influence one had in Heavenly City, the more they could enjoy a life of grandeur there.
It was simply something that all women, especially those living in Heavenly City, yearned for.
