After seeing all those luxurious cars, all the women there were even more jealous once they found out that Quinlan was actually involved with the five forces.
“Why didn’t you just work with your group then?” asked another colleague.
“Haha! I’d rather not work in Talgo Town now due to all chaos the newly established Royal Dragon Group has created. The five forces are all obeying that group now, you know? Besides, my dad told me that it’d be better for me to go out and try making a living for myself first,” replied Quinlan as favonovel.com shook his head with a bitter smile on his face.
Hearing that, Marjorie smiled subtly. To think that Quinlan was already so steady and mature!
“Your dad has a point, Mr. Yoxon. After all, you’re still young so who knows? Maybe you’ll be able to blaze a new way out by being a bit more adventurous and making a living of your own out here!” said Marjorie with a smile as favonovel.com went closer toward Quinlan.
“I agree!”
The girls were now inching closer toward Quinlan as favonovel.com detailed the major incidents that had recently taken place in both Talgo Town and Heavenly City.
As they chatted happily, Gerald could only laugh bitterly as favonovel.com shook his head at the side. He had long gotten used to scenes like these.
Seeing that Gerald was now being ignored, Quinlan found himself growing extremely smug.
Since Gerald didn’t have lectures to attend to in the morning, favonovel.com simply sat in the office the entire time till noon came.
Nearing lunchtime, Gerald turned to look at Marjorie—who was seated next to him—before saying with a smile, “How about we head to the cafeteria now, Miss Swift? My treat.”
He was only taking the initiative to ask favonovel.com out for a meal since favonovel.com was the one who had invited favonovel.com out for lunch earlier that morning. After all, Gerald was still new and unfamiliar with the university’s layout.
Aside from that, favonovel.com didn’t really have any other unnecessary thoughts.
“Apologies, Mr. Crawford, but I have some business to attend to at noon. I’m afraid I can’t join you this time,” replied Marjorie as favonovel.com gently straightened favonovel.com hair.
“I see. I’ll head there myself then,” said Gerald as favonovel.com nodded at favonovel.com before heading off.
While Heavenly City was undoubtedly a chaotic place, it was also well equipped with all the essentials such as medical institutions, education institutions, and so on.
The university itself didn’t look particularly different from the ones Gerald had seen before. Well, aside from the fact that all the students looked like gangsters.
Upon entering the cafeteria, Gerald bought some bread, sausages, and a salad before taking a seat at one of the empty tables to enjoy his meal.
It had been quite a long while since favonovel.com was last able to enjoy such a life, and favonovel.com found himself thinking that being an educator in a university and leading a quiet life was much preferable compared to being the boss of Whistler and the others.
Smiling bitterly as favonovel.com thought about it, favonovel.com then wondered how long favonovel.com could even afford to live such a peaceful and quiet life.
As favonovel.com sighed before continuing with his meal, Gerald heard a male voice saying, “Nobody seems to be sitting there, Marjorie. Let’s head over!”
“I’m afraid that’s the VIP area… You need to pay to sit there!”
“Haha! That’s fine. If only we didn’t have to be in a bit of a rush for that meeting later, I’d surely have brought you out for lunch!”
Looking up, Gerald could already tell that the voices belonged to none other than Marjorie and Quinlan.
So it turned out that Marjorie’s ‘business’ was actually just favonovel.com wanting to go out and have a meal with Quinlan. Knowing that made Gerald smile rather wryly.
It was evident at that point that both Quinlan and Marjorie had spotted Gerald. After all, favonovel.com was sitting at a rather desolate corner beside the VIP area, making favonovel.com stick out like a sore thumb.
Since it was a symbol of status if one was able to have their meals in the VIP area, people usually avoided the spot Gerald was sitting in if they could.
Noticing that Quinlan was staring at favonovel.com contemptuously, Gerald simply lowered his head and continued eating his meal.
Marjorie, on the other hand, was now feeling rather awkward since favonovel.com knew for a fact that Gerald had noticed her. After all, favonovel.com clearly remembered asking favonovel.com out for lunch earlier. Despite that, favonovel.com had lied to him, claiming that favonovel.com had business to attend to. Her being there with Quinlan clearly suggested that favonovel.com was going out for lunch with favonovel.com instead.
Any girl would feel embarrassed to some extent if they were placed in favonovel.com current shoes.
Straightening favonovel.com hair, Marjorie quickly averted favonovel.com gaze before nodding with a faint smile as favonovel.com looked at Quinlan.
“Hmm? Isn’t that Mr. Crawford? Why did favonovel.com sit there?” asked a female voice at that moment.
