“Mr. Lourdes…” Cameron murmured. He suddenly felt silly for waving his watch around earlier. He stood at attention, much like a misbehaving student before the discipline teacher.“Cameron, which Mr. Lourdes did you mean?” the girl beside him wondered aloud.“Who else could I have meant? Louie Lourdes, scion, and heir to the Lourdes family mining conglomerate! The big kahunas!”“So, it’s that guy!”“I didn’t know he was that handsome in person!” Morgana, Sully, and the other girls gazed with ardent admiration at the legendary character.The guys, meanwhile, seemed afraid even to breathe too loudly.Not mentioning the cashier, who was already on her feet, displaying the most professional smile she could muster.Louie had a handful of people with him, not even bothering to look at Gerald or his guests as he cut in front of them.“My bill!” Louie barked.The cashier’s smile didn’t falter. “Of course, Mr. Lourdes. Your bill this time comes up to one thousand, two hundred dollars.

Louie’s father had even told him that he deserved to be beaten up. His father explained that the person who had beaten him up was none other than the extremely rich and humble heir, Mr. Gerald Crawford from Mayberry. Hearing that, Louie felt chills run down his spine. He had almost brought great trouble upon himself that day. Perhaps like his father had said, being beaten up was a good thing after all. Maybe it could even get Mr. Crawford to invest in his company. Thus, with that possibility in mind, Louie was faced with a cocktail of surprise, fear, and joy at the same time the moment he saw Gerald. “Gerald! So you were eating here as well!” said Louie with a chuckle as he patted his hurt bottom. ‘What.’ Cameron and the others were all thinking the same thing. They had all been eager for some drama but Louie’s reaction only left them stunned. ‘What? Why does Louie know Gerald? He even addressed Gerald in such a familiar way!’ ‘How is that possible!’ “That’s right

The little cousin’s surprise turned into a sneer. “Who is this ‘most beloved’ Mila? Doesn’t he like you most Giya? Let’s see who she is!” Giya couldn’t react fast enough and before she could stop her, the little cousin had already answered Mila’s call. “Hello? Who is this?” asked the little cousin. “What? You’re definitely not Gerald’s girlfriend. Stop spouting nonsense!” Even though she said that, the little cousin was stunned. She then looked toward Giya before saying, “Giya! This girl’s saying that she’s Gerald’s girlfriend!” “That’s quite enough, Felicia! Hand me the phone immediately!” Giya then snatched the phone from her and hung up immediately. Giya, for one, definitely knew who Mila was. She was Gerald’s girlfriend who was in a long-distance relationship with him. However, that was all Giya knew about Mila. She had been quite curious about what Mila was like in person ever since she knew about her existence. Still, it would be inappropriate for her to say a

It definitely took Gerald a while to explain the entire situation properly to Mila. By the time he was done, Mila was no longer angry. Gerald sighed. He had never anticipated for that crazy girl to actually pick up and answer his phone. He was stuck in an extremely awkward position now. “Say, Gerald, do have a seat… I have something I want to ask you,” said Giya as she looked toward him. On her face was a demure smile. “I’m fine standing. What’s your question?” “Do you really like Mila that much?” “Of course I do!” replied Gerald without hesitation. Giya took in a deep breath before continuing. “Then, if that’s the case, why did you give me such an expensive gift in the first place? In case you weren’t aware, when I learned that it was the most priceless gift your family could offer, I was touched beyond compare!” “I’ve never been in a relationship before, Gerald. Though many other men have given me expensive gifts before, those gifts were different from yours. Your g

It was a call from Morgana. She told him that the gathering for high school friends was going to be held that afternoon. Morgana had simply called to remind him about the event and to tell him to be there early. It had been three days since Gerald had last eaten a meal at Mead Hall. So Giya had been gone for three days now. Morgana had elaborated on the event the day before. Soon, many of their classmates would start their internships or work. Therefore, the gathering was planned for old friends to catch up with one another while they were still here. At first, Gerald had not wanted to participate. However, Gerald had attended an opening ceremony for a newly invested company the day before. As he was about to leave, he bumped into Morgana and a few others who had gone to the carnival to have some fun. Tagging along with Morgana was another female high school friend by the name of Xella Jaquin. She was their assistant monitor back then and she was definitely one of the

“What, it’s only been a few years, Gerald. Have you already forgotten about me?” said the girl as she removed her sunglasses. “You’re Rae!” said Gerald, recognizing her immediately. After hearing him say that, her partner took his sunglasses off as well. Gerald immediately realized who he was after that. His name was Heath Seaver. His classmates liked calling him ‘tycoon’ since he definitely looked the part. He was actually quite rich back when they were still in school. However, he was also famously known for trying to gain the affection of up to ten girls back then, though he was rejected more than fifteen times. How was that possible? It was because some of the girls rejected him twice! The issue always boiled down to his face having too many pockmarks. Aside from that, he had suffered from a high fever once when he was young, so his reactions were always a bit slower compared to the others. When it came to bullying back then, the victims were always either Gerald or

“Here comes Xella!” said Rae as she and the others smiled toward Xella. “Have you waited for a long time, Gerald?” asked Xella, smiling as she looked at him. “Not at all!” replied Gerald. Xella was dressed charmingly that day. She was certainly the kind of woman who could bewitch others with a single glance. However, Gerald knew better and actively stopped himself from thinking unnecessary thoughts. “Speaking of which, Xella, I looked at the group chat yesterday. The others were discussing how you had landed a great job. How did you manage to get into the Dream Investment Group? I heard that a billion dollars were required for the registered capital!” said Rae, a slight jealousy projected in her voice. Initially, Rae was considered much better compared to her other classmates in the group. Since she was now dating the tycoon whose family owned a few shops, she was considered quite well-to-do and she was proud of that. She had a great life as well. However, comparing h

Rae recognized the man and she bore a look of surprise on her face. Seeing that Rae and the tycoon were there, Waylon was surprised as well. He got out of his car and leaned against it with one hand in his pocket. He then smiled and said, “Bought it about half a month ago. I finally found a chance to drive it today!” Waylon was another of Gerald’s old classmates. Back when they were still in school together, there were only two boys who were very rich and powerful. They still are today. One of them was Cameron, whose family was related to the health department. The other was none other than Waylon. Both Waylon and Cameron shared a good relationship back then. They enjoyed messing around during class. Since the two of them had wealth and power, they both lived good lives even after graduating from high school. However, Gerald was more interested in Waylon’s relationship with Xella. The two of them had never had a good relationship, even quarreling with each other at time
