Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 954
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 he 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 she
went closer toward Quinlan.
“I agree!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe girls were now inching closer toward Quinlan as he 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 he 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, he 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 her out for a meal since she was the one who had invited him out for lunch
earlier that morning. After all, Gerald was still new and unfamiliar with the university’s layout.
Aside from that, he 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 she gently straightened her hair.
“I see. I’ll head there myself then,” said Gerald as he nodded at her 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 he was last able to enjoy such a life, and he 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 he thought about it, he then wondered how long he could even afford to live such a peaceful and
quiet life.
As he 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
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmout 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 her 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, he was sitting at a rather
desolate corner beside the VIP area, making him 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 him contemptuously, Gerald simply lowered his head and continued eating his
meal.
Marjorie, on the other hand, was now feeling rather awkward since she knew for a fact that Gerald had noticed her.
After all, she clearly remembered asking him out for lunch earlier. Despite that, she had lied to him, claiming that
she had business to attend to. Her being there with Quinlan clearly suggested that she was going out for lunch with
him instead.
Any girl would feel embarrassed to some extent if they were placed in her current shoes.
Straightening her hair, Marjorie quickly averted her gaze before nodding with a faint smile as she looked at Quinlan.
“Hmm? Isn’t that Mr. Crawford? Why did he sit there?” asked a female voice at that moment.
