”What is it?”“Tell me! Why were you avoiding me the other day? Tell me the truth! Is it possible that you already have a girlfriend?” Giya asked tentatively.However, Giya already knew that Gerald came from a poor family background. It was just like what Tammy had said. This man was so boring, so how could he possibly have a girlfriend?!“Well, yes! I have a girlfriend!” Gerald replied as he nodded.It seemed as though Giya had also misunderstood them. Although Gerald was not narcissistic enough to think that someone like Giya would like him, he had indeed been avoiding her because of his own girlfriend!Giya could not help but feel a little hurt for some reason. “What?! Are you lying to me?”“I am not lying to you. I really do have a girlfriend. Her name is Mila, and she is from the Broadcasting and Hosting Department. We have already been a couple for more than two months now. She went to the Hong Kong Television Station to study two days ago!” Gerald replied as he smiled.“O
Gerald took the bag of fruits.“I only bought it for you because you endured a beating for me. Don’t overthink it!” Giya replied as she looked at Gerald. “I do not want your girlfriend to overthink things if she finds out about this!”“Haha! It’s okay! I did not think too much!” Gerald replied as he smiled.“By the way, Gerald. Since you said that both of us are friends, let me ask you something. What do you think of Yacob?”Gerald had already walked out of the infirmary at this time, and Giya was talking to him as both of them walked.Yacob?Hahaha. Gerald knew that this person was not a good person because it seemed as though he was one person on the surface, but another person behind her back.What was more, he was even willing to betray Giya.At this time, Gerald only shook his head slightly before he said, “I don’t think that he is a very good person. Giya, as your friend, I would advise you to keep your distance from him in the future.”“Why?” Giya asked angrily.“Becau
[Should we have a meal together at noon after our exams tomorrow? Okay? I will be waiting for you!]Giya sent a series of text messages to Gerald. Gerald naturally saw all of her messages.After thinking about it, he replied: [Thanks, but I will not be going. I have to rush home as soon as our exams are over!]Due to the scattered examination schedule, Gerald had already sat for some of his exams before this. There were only two more subjects for the so-called final exams tomorrow morning.Additionally, he did not want to have too many interactions with Giya anymore.He replied to her directly before he turned off his cell phone so that he could rest earlier.The next day, Gerald completed his exams for all of his subjects.After that, he packed his luggage and put his blanket into another snakeskin bag.Zack had initially planned to send a special car over to take Gerald to Serene County.After all, the project in Serene County had already begun progressing ever since the p
Of course, her most notable feature was her love for the rich and her disdain for the poor.She was almost the same as Cassandra, his current teacher.Rich students were like their close friends and buddies.If you had no money or power, you could just go and die wherever you wanted to.Sometimes, her words were also very cruel and heartbreaking. That was the reason why Gerald had a very deep impression of her.“Oh my God! This is such a coincidence. This is the first time that I’m taking a bus since I was young, but to think I would run into you now!”Montana replied as she smiled wryly.It seemed as though she was afraid people would misunderstand her and think that she took the bus often.“Montana, who is he? Is he one of your students?” A handsome young man in a suit asked as he sat next to Montana.“Yes. I’ve told you about it before. I used to have a very poor student in my class. He would always bring two steamed buns and a bag of pickles to school every day. Moreover,
“Sir Herring Jenkins is the head of the county. Who on earth could make him wait at the bus station?”Montana could not mask her surprise.Was it that rich dude from the city?No way. Why would someone as rich as him come here by bus?“Wait here; I’ll go say hi!” Montana’s boyfriend straightened his suit and tidied up his hair.He was ready to go over.“But Jonathan, will this work? Will Mr. Jenkins pay any attention to you?” Montana couldn’t help but worry.“I guess so. After all, he knows my dad too, and I’ve had dinner with him twice.”Jonathan reassured Montana and headed over to the other side.Montana, however, didn’t dare go with him. The other side was filled with big shots, and several heads of the Ministry of Education were also present.As a fellow staff member, of course, Montana didn’t possess the courage to approach them.As for Jonathan, he went and came back quickly.While there, he looked very proud, thinking that he had a chance to stand out among the
“Ahem, Mr. Winters was hospitalized this afternoon. I’d just come back to pack some clothes when I heard the phone ringing.”“What? Hospitalized? Which hospital?”Hearing Mrs. Winters’s gloomy tone, Gerald’s heart thumped in his chest. He hastily asked for the hospital’s location.Mrs. Winters told him the address.It happened to be at a hospital in the same county.Mrs. Winters also happened to arrive at the same time after hitching a ride on one of the county’s bread trucks.Gerald assisted her down from the truck before rushing to the emergency room in one of the hospital’s buildings.Mr. Winters had apparently suffered from cardiovascular problems and passed out while having his lunch.The incident gave her a big scare, and she immediately called for an ambulance. Now, the doctors were still doing all they could to save his life.“Why are we the only ones paying for his hospital bills? Big brother, he’s our dad... your dad, so you’ll have to chip in too.”In the emergency
The nurse led Gerald downstairs to pay at the counter, though she felt somewhat skeptical about him.What then could be the reason for her doubts?It was all because of the way Gerald dressed. He didn’t look like one that would have much money on him.The medical bill came up to 20,000 dollars, almost impossible for the average family to fork out, let alone someone like him.Gerald proved her wrong, though. He paid the 20,000 dollars for the surgical fee and even settled the accommodation as well.It was a whopping 30,000 dollars in total!He paid for everything without even batting an eyelid.The nurse was stunned, unable to move.Gerald paid no attention to her and walked back to the hallway.They were still fighting.“Everyone, stop fighting, I’ve settled the bills,” said Gerald.“Huh???”Only then did the fight die down.The siblings were stupefied when they heard that.“You paid for everything? Gerald, it was 20,000 dollars! Where did you get the money from?” asked t
“You’re Morgana Lopez?”Gerald was a little surprised.Of course, he knew her. She was from the same class in high school and even representative of the English class. Her name was Morgana Lopez.During their high school years, she was pretty yet looked normal at the same time.But he hadn’t seen her for three to four years, and all dolled up, she looked really hot and beautiful.The metamorphosis was pretty evident.In fact, he was mentally prepared to bump into high school classmates long before he returned to his hometown.After all, the ones that should be working had already gone to work.“I saw your picture taken by Montana Lewis in our English class representatives’ group today. You were carrying a duffel bag, so I knew you were back. I didn’t expect to meet you here… what a coincidence!”Morgana straightened her hair.Even after graduation, it was common for some teachers to leave behind their contacts to stay in touch with class representatives.F*ck! Gerald was stu
