It was evening by the time Gerald arrived at the headquarters building in Mayberry City.
At the time, there were two deputy general managers in the economic area, Zack being one of them and the other being a person by the name of Winson Zaito, commonly known as Chairman Zaito.
Gerald knew for a fact that both men had always been loyal to the Crawford family, and this was especially the case for Zack.
Even so, since Peter had mentioned that there was a possibility that the duo could be involved in certain matters as well, Gerald knew favonovel.com had to personally investigate them sooner or later.
“Apologies, sir, but both Chairman Zaito and Chairman Lyle aren’t present tonight! You’ll have to wait till morning if you still wish to meet them! However, please note that even if you do wish to meet them then, they aren’t people you can just ask to meet up with just because you want to!” said the receptionist at the front desk as favonovel.com looked at Gerald.
Though favonovel.com appeared polite, favonovel.com wasn’t able to fully conceal favonovel.com contempt toward him. Who did Gerald even think favonovel.com was? Was favonovel.com really thinking that favonovel.com could just meet up with both of them all willy-nilly?
“Just give them a call and tell them that Gerald Crawford is here!” replied Gerald casually, not wanting to waste any time with favonovel.com nonsense.
“…What? Did you just claim to be Mr. Gerald Crawford?!” exclaimed all the receptionists seated at the front desk as they instantly stood upright and stared at Gerald in astonishment.
“Look, let’s just skip all this and just make the phone call already…” replied Gerald coldly.
“…Very well, Mr. Crawford! We’ll call both of them immediately… In your dreams!” scoffed the receptionist from before, favonovel.com gaze brimming with ridicule now as favonovel.com glared at Gerald.
Watching as favonovel.com frowned back at her, the receptionist then snapped, “What? Did you take us all as fools? Just have a good look at how you’re dressed! How dare you even pretend to be the real Mr. Crawford! Have you any idea how many ‘Mr. Crawfords’ there are in Mayberry at this very moment? To think you’d dare behave so atrociously here! Do you even know where you are now? Whatever the case is… Security! Kick this troublemaker out of this place already!”
As favonovel.com tossed the pen favonovel.com was holding onto the ground, a few guards—who had been posted nearby—quickly marched over, ready to take action.
Seeing all this, Gerald could only sigh… So be it! Since Zack and Winson weren’t currently around anyway, favonovel.com may as well just come back tomorrow morning!
It wasn’t as though Gerald wasn’t angry at the moment, quite the contrary, in fact.
While anyone who dared offend favonovel.com would certainly not have a good ending, these people were his own employees. What more, there was no real point in punishing them for their rudeness.
Though Gerald could’ve very easily proved that favonovel.com was the real deal—allowing favonovel.com to act all pretentiously before them after that—he simply felt that there was no reason for favonovel.com to do so.
What more, Gerald was currently feeling both extremely anxious and distraught, so favonovel.com really couldn’t be bothered about proving anything to them…
“…Fine, then! I’ll be returning in the morning to meet them, then!” replied Gerald as favonovel.com shook his head, a wry smile on his face.
Watching as favonovel.com slid a hand into his pocket before leaving, the guards found themselves glances before laughing contemptuously.
“Who even was that kid? To think that he’d speak so imposingly even though favonovel.com was dressed so poorly! Haha!”
“He must’ve escaped from some mental hospital… He certainly looked like a fool! Make sure you guys keep an eye out for favonovel.com if favonovel.com dares come again tomorrow! We mustn’t allow Chairman Lyle and Chairman Zaito to run into him, otherwise we’ll all be sacked for sure, especially since the company’s general meeting is going to be held tomorrow! With that said, everything has to go perfectly!” reminded the receptionist from before as favonovel.com looked at the guards.
“Worry not, if favonovel.com really dares to show up tomorrow, we’ll just teach favonovel.com a lesson he’ll never forget!” reassured the guards.
Meanwhile, Gerald was already starting to head to Wayfair Mountain Entertainment when favonovel.com walked past a group of young men and women…
Watching as favonovel.com walked past them, one of the gorgeously dressed girls—from within that group—caught a glimpse of favonovel.com and instantly ended up freezing in place.
“…Hold it. That kid there…! Stop right there! You’re that guy, aren’t you?” called out that girl as favonovel.com scratched the back of favonovel.com head, seemingly trying to remember Gerald’s name.
