However, the person who entered
through the door wasn’t Gerald.
“Danny! What are you doing
here?”
The expression on Naomi’s face
changed as soon as she saw Danny.
Both of them were classmates
and Naomi was once close to them.
However, Naomi had found out
that morning that Danny had played a trick on Gerald. Therefore, Naomi lost her
temper at Danny.
Unexpectedly, this guy was so
thick-skinned and he actually came here even though she had just scolded him.
“Naomi, are you still angry? I
was just joking around with Gerald last night. Who would’ve thought that he’d
actually deliver the box to Yuri?”
Danny replied as he smiled
cheerfully.
Several
of his roommates also came with him and they all brought gifts with them.
Speaking of it, Naomi’s family
was also very wealthy and Naomi had already offered to help Gerald several
times. However, Gerald had always rejected her goodwill.
Danny had known Naomi ever
since they were in high school.
“Naomi, is this the Gerald that
you were going to introduce to me? What’s wrong?” Alice asked as she stared at
Danny.
As soon as Danny saw Alice, his
eyes were shining brightly. In fact, he had already wanted to get acquainted
with Alice ever since a long time ago. Alice was the most beautiful girl that
he had ever seen in the Broadcasting and Media Department.
This time, the only reason why
he gathered the courage to brazenly come and apologize to Naomi was because he
knew that Alice would also be here.
As soon as Danny heard Alice’s
words, he quickly said, “Hello, the beautiful Alice. Gerald is my classmate!
He’s a pauper that I made fun of yesterday! Hahaha…”
When Danny recalled that Gerald
had delivered some birth control supplies to his ex-girlfriend last night,
Danny could not help but laugh out loud.
“Shut up!” Naomi replied as she
glared at Danny.
At this time, Alice had a very
strange expression on her face.
Was there really such a huge
distinction between the poor and rich students?
Gerald’s roommates also had a
very ugly expression on their faces at this time.
“Okay, okay…I won’t say
anything else.”
Danny
laughed before he said, “Naomi, why don’t you take a look at what I got for you…”
At this time, someone pushed
the door open once again.
After opening the door, Gerald
walked in with a red plastic bag in his hand.
“Gerald, you’re finally here!”
Naomi immediately jumped up
with a smile on her face.
Gerald nodded in acknowledgment
and he immediately noticed Danny, who was staring at him with a mocking
expression on her face.
In fact, Danny would have a
humble expression on his face if it was any other second-generation rich kid.
However…right now.
This was Gerald.
Alice also raised her head to
look at Gerald at this time.
In fact, Alice really wanted to
look for a boyfriend but she could immediately tell that Gerald was probably
not from a wealthy family. Alice did not mind if he was from an ordinary family
as long as he was handsome and attractive.
However, even though Gerald was
handsome, Alice could tell that all the clothes that Gerald was wearing from
head to toe were not worth more than fifty dollars.
He was too ordinary!
When Alice thought of what
Danny had mentioned earlier, her impression of Gerald reached a new low point.
Alice’s face was filled with
disappointment.
“Gerald, this is Alice! Alice,
this is my friend, Gerald.”
Naomi
introduced both of them with a smile on her face.
Gerald nodded before he
replied, “Hello, my name is Gerald. Nice to meet you, Alice.”
Gerald extended his hand
politely.
However, Alice did not even
bother to look at Gerald. Instead, she simply turned around and continued
sipping her juice.
Gerald’s hand was hanging in
the air and after a short while, he had to take his hand back in anguish.
Naomi knew that her best friend
had always had such a personality. If she was interested in the guy, she would
talk more. Otherwise, she would simply ignore him completely.
Gerald did not say anything
about it.
He simply walked over to sit down
at the table.
At this time, Danny saw the red
plastic bag in Gerald’s hand.
Danny immediately said, “Well,
Gerald, it is Naomi’s birthday today. So, what birthday gift did you get here?
Why don’t you show it to us?”
The head of Gerald’s dormitory
could not stand it anymore and he quickly asked, “Danny, why are you always
picking on Gerald?”
Danny simply laughed because he
really enjoyed ridiculing and making fun of others.
Danny glanced at Gerald with a
cold expression on his face before he took out the gift that he bought for
Naomi first.
It turned out that Danny also
bought a black branded bag for her.
“Naomi,
I bought this for you. A Hermes bag.”
As soon as Danny brought out
the bag, Alice and all her beautiful roommates were immediately intrigued.
“A Hermes bag? The market price
for one of these bags is at least eight thousand dollars, right?”
All of the beautiful girls
immediately had a different impression of Danny.
This person was really very
generous.
Alice, the goddess who had
always been very cold to everyone else, could not help but glance at Danny at
this time.
“It’s not that expensive. My
dad knows the manager at Hermes very well, so I bought it for only seven
thousand nine hundred dollars.”
Danny smiled as he enjoyed the
admiring gaze that everyone was giving him at this time.
Even though Naomi really
despised Danny, she took it in her hand without saying anything else.
“The Hermes Rumble is actually
the latest bag launched by Hermes. It is very popular in Macau, Hong Kong, and
Taiwan. This same exact bag costs about twelve thousand dollars there!”
Alice could not help but gasp
when she heard Danny’s words.
Danny saw the expression on
Alice’s face and he quickly said, “Alice, what do you think about this bag? Do
you usually do any research on luxury goods?”
Alice looked at Danny and she
finally smiled faintly before she replied, “I’d wanted to buy this exact same
bag before this but the price is slightly too high…”
Danny
quickly replied, “Alice dear, I’ll get you one for your birthday! Eight or nine
thousand dollars is not a lot of money to me anyway. Moreover, I know everyone
working at the Hermes boutique store across from our university.”
Alice did not say anything but
she simply smiled at Danny.
Even though she did not know
Danny personally, she had heard about him before and she knew that he was a
playboy.
Unexpectedly, he was also so
courageous and generous.
Alice could not help but feel a
little impressed with him at this time.
After that, the head of
Gerald’s dormitory and all of his roommates also presented their gifts to
Naomi, one after the other.
Their gifts were naturally not
as expensive as Danny’s luxury gift, but each of their gifts also cost three to
four hundred dollars.
Gerald did not want to
interfere and he simply planned to give Naomi his gift after everyone was done.
However, at this time, Danny
looked at the red plastic bag in Gerald’s hand before he smirked and said,
“Gerald, please show us what you bought for Naomi. Just look at the plastic bag
in your hand! It’s really very festive.”
“Danny, can you just shut up?
I’d be very happy no matter what Gerald gives me.”
Naomi warned Danny again.
However, Naomi was also looking
at Gerald with a hopeful expression on her face.
Gerald regretted his action a
little.
Since
he was in a hurry, he did not want to wait half an hour for the salesgirl to
wrap the bag up for him.
He thought that it would just
be a simple gathering with a few of their close friends. He did not expect that
b*stard Danny to be here too!
“Naomi, I bought you a bag
too.”
Gerald said as he took the bag
out of the plastic bag.
Alice frowned at this time
because she really could not believe her eyes.
This person was so poor! He was
really unbelievable.
“Wow!” Danny yelled as soon as
Gerald took out the bag.
“Gerald actually bought Naomi a
Hermes bag too! He bought her a luxury item too!”
“Gerald, could you tell me
which market stall you bought this bag from? Is it cheap?”
Danny’s words made all the
girls present laugh out loud immediately.
Alice shook her head slightly
at this time.
She originally thought that
even though Gerald was poor, he would probably be a good friend.
However, Alice simply looked
down on Gerald now.
“This is the limited edition
collector’s Hermes bag that was launched during their 200th anniversary. There
are only two hundred units of this bag in this world and each of these bags is
worth fifty-five thousand dollars!”
Alice could recognize the bag
immediately.
“There
are also many imitations on the Internet and the counterfeit bag cost less than
one hundred dollars! However, no matter how vain a person is, they wouldn’t buy
the counterfeit version of this bag because it’s really embarrassing to use a
fake high-end product!”
Alice was not polite at all as
she glared at Gerald. This person really made her sick!
Naomi initially thought that
Gerald would buy some gadgets for her but she really did not expect him to buy
her an imitation item instead.
However, Naomi still smiled as
she said, “Thank you, Gerald. I’m very thankful and happy no matter what you
get me but you shouldn’t spend so much money in the future. One hundred dollars
is a lot of money for you!”
Gerald wanted to explain
himself and tell Naomi that it was a genuine and original Hermes bag but he
could see that Alice and her roommates were already giving him contemptuous
looks.
Therefore, he knew that no one
would believe him even if he tried to explain himself and he might end up
making them despise him even more.
At this time, Alice looked at
Naomi before she said, “Naomi, why did you become friends with such an
unreliable person?”
Naomi did not want to put
Gerald in a difficult position. Therefore, she tried to change the topic.
“Alright, everyone, it’s my
birthday today and I’m really happy to be able to celebrate it with all of you.
Come on, let’s make a toast!”
Alice and her roommates
continued staring at Gerald in disgust while the other guys did not respond at
all.
Danny and his friends simply
sneered at Charlie.
Gerald
did not want to make things difficult for Naomi because he knew that she was
caught between him and her roommates.
He quickly stood up and said,
“Naomi, happy birthday to you but I just remembered something I have to do back
in my dormitory so I’ll be leaving first. Have fun!”
Gerald knew that he was
superfluous, so he got up to leave immediately.
“Gerald!”
