Could it be that everyone had misunderstood when he hit Elena and the other girls?
At the same
time, Gerald felt a little weird inside.
He wondered
how Alice and Jacelyn would react if they knew that the young boss that they
were talking about was
him…
“Alice! Why
didn’t you tell me that you’re here?”
As everyone
was eagerly discussing the restaurant, Quinton, who was dressed smartly in
formal attire, walked
over with
Harold by his side.
Quinton was
especially handsome today. At least, he was really handsome in front of the group
of girls!
“I saw that
you were busy socializing and entertaining your customers…are you tired?”
Alice smiled
as she spoke in a soft manner. She had never been in a relationship before and
she was not the
kind of girl
who would act coquettishly in front of guys, which was the way her roommate,
Jacelyn, would always
act.
Therefore, she
could only speak in a shy manner.
“I’m fine! Some of the uncles and owners of the businesses on
the Mayberry Commercial Street have come to visit
us today. I
just found a table for them. Come, Alice! I will get you guys a table now,”
Quinton replied with a
bright smile
on his face.
At this time,
he suddenly saw Gerald who was standing right at the back of the crowd.
Gerald was
touching a small wooden horse that was placed on a shelf. The small wooden
horse looked very
delicate and
it was made out of sandalwood. Gerald was immediately attracted to it.
He was filled
with curiosity at this moment.
“Hey! That
thing is very fragile. Please be careful, Brother Gerald!” Quinton quickly said
in a sarcastic tone.
In fact,
Quinton was still a little displeased and envious of Gerald because he had
embarrassed him at Wayfair
Mountain
Entertainment.
Yes, even
though the only reason Gerald could afford to bring them in to enjoy a
luxurious meal inside Wayfair
Mountain
Entertainment was because Zack owed him a favor for saving his daughter’s life,
Quinton was still very
jealous of
him.
However, Quinton felt a little better because his family was
now acquainted with Zack.
Quinton felt
that the relationship between Gerald and Zack would not possibly last forever.
After all, it would
not be
possible for a person to feel thankful to a person for a long time.
What’s more,
Gerald was just a vain and silly fool!
“Hey! Don’t
drop that wooden horse, Gerald. What if you’re careless and break it again?
What if you damage the
small wooden
horse, just like how you damaged the oil painting the last time? Quinton doesn’t
owe you anything,
so how are you
going to repay him then?”
“Exactly! He’s
really a country bumpkin! He wants to touch everything that he sees!”
“I really
don’t understand why Alice wants to invite Gerald here with us today! He’s
making everyone feel so
uncomfortable!”
Jacelyn and
the other girls quickly expressed their dissatisfaction towards Gerald.
In fact, the
reason they were blatantly ridiculing and criticizing Gerald was because they
knew that Quinton
did not like
him.
If Gerald had
been nice and friendly towards Quinton when they were at the manor, then
Jacelyn and the other
girls would definitely keep that in mind.
However, that
did not happen. Moreover, Quinton was already unhappy to see Gerald here and it
seemed as though
Gerald had no
clue about anything at all.
Anyway, how
could Gerald possibly compete with Quinton?
The girls
quickly attacked Gerald because they wanted to express their positions in front
of Quinton.
Meanwhile,
Alice could only shake her head helplessly. At first, she was planning to take
revenge against
Gerald. When
she thought about it now, her plan felt so ridiculous.
It was so
ridiculous for her to even be worried about this person in the first place!
“Naomi!
Harper! Why are you here? Damn it. Gerald, you’re here too?”
At this time,
a woman’s voice sounded behind them and she sounded very surprised.
