“F*ck! A Mercedes-Benz G-Class is worth more than three hundred thousand dollars!” shouted a classmate in a worried voice. Though the two cars had collided, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class had suffered much less compared to Cameron’s own car. However, if compensation was required, Cameron knew he had to fork out at least a hundred thousand dollars. He quivered slightly in fear. “I’m so sorry Cameron! If it wasn’t for me you wouldn’t have hit that car!” wailed Xella as another burden was added to her heart. She sighed internally while holding back her tears. ‘If it wasn’t for me, none of these incidents would have happened today…’ ‘Waylon’s been beaten up, and now Cameron’s just crashed into another car when he was just trying to send me to the hospital to visit Waylon! What can we even do now?’ Xella’s mind was filled with negativity and it only made her feel more flustered and agitated than she already was. The others were starting to feel afraid as well. They began discussing
Whatever the case was, Cameron’s car certainly wasn’t going to be driving anyone anywhere with that damaged hood. Everything that had gone wrong had stemmed from Xella, but there really was no use crying over spilled milk. Besides, Gerald didn’t think that it was appropriate to just leave them like that. They were friends in the past after all. “Come on, get into my car. I’ll give you a ride to the hospital!” said Gerald calmly. This new mature and calm Gerald felt quite strange to the others. Thinking back, no wonder he seemed so calm and casual earlier when he was talking to them at the bus stop. They honestly hadn’t paid much attention to his demeanor then since they thought he was still a loser. However, now when they paid more attention to the way he spoke, they found that his tone sounded cold and composed as opposed to the old Gerald they knew. It was somewhat awe worthy. “Gerald! Is… Is this your car?” asked Rae, her eyes wide open. “Yep. It’s still pretty new
Waylon was definitely asking Jaxon for help. However, before they could hear about the specifics, Waylon had already hung up. This was because he had noticed Xella and the rest entering the room. “I’m so sorry Waylon! It’s all my fault!” said Xella apologetically. “What are you talking about Xella? I was just caught by surprise when they started beating us up without even making the situation clear first! Don’t worry, my dad’s subordinates are dealing with them right now! My dad’s heard about your troubles as well!” said Waylon in a fierce voice. Xella was just about to say something when her phone began ringing. Taking in a deep breath, she answered it. It was only a brief talk and she hung up not long after. “…It’s all over now! The call was from my president and he informed me that I was fired!” said Xella weakly. She knew that she had just lost her chance of having a great career. Since she was now fired, she would no longer be able to enter any excellent subsidiary
Everyone was stunned. In their minds, they were all thinking the same thing. ‘…What? That’s such a drastic change! And so quickly too!’ “…Xella, I definitely think that someone’s been pulling the strings behind the scenes to help you… Otherwise, why would your boss even step forward to deal with the pervert in the first place? Investigating the matter doesn’t require the boss’s involvement and yet he still called your personal number to apologize! What more, the pervert’s been fired!” “I agree. You said it yourself that the decision was made by the superiors. Someone must definitely have used their connections to do this!” Rae and the others were openly discussing their speculations now. “I think that’s the case as well. It’s extremely difficult to get appointed as a potential trainee for the personnel department. I can’t help but wonder who has that much power to make even the boss and my superiors take action…” said Xella as she rubbed her temple gently. Suddenly, she fro
He rubbed his hands together excitedly as he asked the question, a smile on his face. “…Eh? Mr. Crawford?” The others in the ward were dumbfounded when they heard the name. This was especially the case for Waylon who had been ready to greet the president and act smugly in front of the others. He was twice as stunned as anyone else in the room. ‘Why did he address Gerald as Mr. Crawford?’ “You know who I am, president?” asked Gerald. He was stunned as well. “Of course I do! Back then when Mr. Winters had been admitted to the hospital, I went to pay him a visit as well. However, I wasn’t able to catch you in time before you left!” said the president as he continued to smile. Thinking about his words, Gerald pieced the puzzle together quickly. When Mr. Winters had been admitted to the hospital, he had bumped into Morgana at the cafeteria. Back then, Morgana was troubled with her issue at work. When he left and met up with Zack later, he had told him about Morgana’s job i
The question had come from Rae. “What did you say? He’s driving a Mercedes-Benz G-Class?” said Waylon, shocked. Thinking back, Gerald had simply smiled calmly at the side while Waylon was showing off his car earlier. He had thought that it was jealousy, but Gerald was just having fun looking at the fool showing his Audi A4L car off! With the current price of a Mercedes-Benz G-Class, that amount of money could easily buy eight or nine Audi A4L cars! “As I said before, I won it as a prize! It’s just a vehicle to help me get around,” said Gerald calmly as he smiled. He then put the jug down and left the ward. Xella had not said anything, but she now respected Gerald more than she ever had. He had simply left the ward once the issues had been resolved without expecting any appreciation at all. In her mind, she knew that even though she had constantly thought that others had been helping her, Gerald didn’t care as long as there were no more issues. Even by the time Gerald
While all this was happening, a sigh was heard. “Tammy, Mr. Quarrington is extremely nervous now. He’s even gone to the police station to launch a report. What should we do? How much longer should we wait here for that Gerald?” Something had happened to Giya and her family and friends definitely knew about it. The one who had sighed was one of Giya’s roommates. They were all now waiting for Gerald at the entrance of Mayberry University. Tammy had agreed to meet him there on the phone earlier. Since Mr. Quarrington had gone to make a police report, Tammy and the others had acted sensibly by going to the university. Informing and sharing what they knew with the university was really all that they could do at that moment. “Let’s just wait for him. He’s the one who knows most about the situation since Giya was last seen at his place. However, he’s not free from being taught a lesson by us later! Her disappearance is still related to him!” said Tammy angrily. The other girls
“I’ve called Felicia and told her about the situation. She’s told me that she’ll try to get her classmate to help us. Hopefully it goes well! With the help of the anchor’s fans, we could finally locate where Giya is! There is strength in numbers after all!” said Tammy. Gerald nodded. He thought that it was a good idea. Normal people didn’t understand the true capabilities of those who worked with mass media and those who treated the internet like their second home. As long as one was willing to research, the information they needed would definitely be found. Gerald called Drake and Tyson to investigate the matter as well. None of them were taking any chances. “Felicia’s here!” At that moment, a black car parked by the road and Tammy’s little cousin hopped out. A handsome man in glasses guided her toward the group. Gerald had met Felicia the other day along with Tammy, so he knew who she was. She definitely knew what had happened to Giya since the moment she saw Gerald,
