Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 426
After a while, Gerald stood up and went to the washroom.
Not long after he had entered the gents, Xella stood up to head to the washroom herself.
After washing his hands, Gerald bumped into Xella who had also left the bathroom at the same time.
The meeting was awkward, to say the least.
“Speaking of which, I haven’t had a chance to properly talk with you. How’ve you been recently?” said Xella with a
bright smile as she tried to conceal her awkwardness.
She knew how her relationship with Gerald was like in the past, and she was also very aware of the conflicts
between Gerald and Waylon.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHowever, now she had become quite close to Waylon. Even if he didn’t say it, Gerald would definitely not feel alright
with that.
“Not bad!” said Gerald as he wiped his hands dry with some tissue paper.
“I heard that you haven’t found a job yet, is that true? Do you have any plans for the future?” asked Xella.
“I plan to make a name for myself,” replied Gerald honestly.
Xella frowned slightly at that before shaking her head with a faint smile on her face. “Listen Gerald, I really suggest
that you go look for a job. It doesn’t matter what kind of job you get. You know very well that you’re different from
the others!”
“Or, you could even try to please Waylon. He’s started his own company and he’s looking for people to hire. If you
want, I could put in a word for you so that he’ll be more willing to take you in! The basic salary is around three
hundred dollars a month and that’s better than nothing!” advised Xella.
“I appreciate it, but I’ll have to refuse,” said Gerald as he smiled.
Xella simply sighed. “Gerald, I know that Waylon beat you up badly back then, but he was young so please try to
understand. Why don’t you try looking at it this way? If you had let him copy your answers then he wouldn’t have
beaten you up! Now that you’ve graduated from university, who knows? He may be willing to lend a hand!”
continued Xella.
“I don’t take that incident to heart anymore. Also, regarding the issue with your deputy manager. All you need to do
is to tell your manager or report the incident to the other superiors at your company. They’ll definitely punish him
severely!”
The manager and several of the superiors there were originally staff from Mayberry International Inc. so Gerald
knew about their capabilities and virtues well. They would definitely not allow any sort of harassment to continue.
Xella simply looked at Gerald for a while before smiling bitterly and shaking her head. “You don’t know much about
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwhat goes on at my workplace. You don’t have to bother about it anymore. Anyway, it’s been nice talking to you
again, and thank you, Gerald!”
After ending her sentence, she simply waved at Gerald before turning away and leaving.
It made Gerald feel that Xella herself was quite a strange person.
It was just like back when he had met Sharon. She had acted strangely to him as well.
Feeling disappointed, Gerald began walking back himself.
Less than two dozen steps later, he saw that Xella’s path had been blocked by a middle-aged man. The man was
even trying to hold her hand.
“What are you doing, Mr. Zabel?” said Xella as she moved her hand away from his.
“Xella, I was planning to have my meal here today. I didn’t expect to bump into you. Since we’re both here, why not
have a drink with me? I can introduce some colleagues from our company to you!” said Mr. Zabel, lust reflected in
his eyes.
“Come now. Stop trying to leave or I’ll get angry soon!” he said.
“Let go of her!”
At that moment, a loud, angry roar could be heard.
