”What?! Mila, you want to bring Gerald with you?” Whitney asked in surprise.
Gerald was
also slightly surprised at this time. Through their short
-
term contact
today, Gerald
already
knew that Mila
was the kind of girl who had a very kind and
gracious heart.
She did not look down on the poor, and she was not the type of
person who
disliked the poor and loved the rich. As long as it was a good person,
Mila would
treat them as her good
friend.
Mila was a sharp contrast in comparison to Whitney, and she
was also a very considerate person.
However,
Gerald was not interested in attending the dinner with Victor, Whitney, and the
rest of their group of friends.
Not one bit!
Mila nodded
before she said, “Whitney, Gerald helped me out a lot today. That is the reason
why I invited all of you out for dinner tonight. Of course, Gerald has to come
today!”
“Why don’t you
all go out and have fun without me instead?” Gerald replied as he smiled at
Mila. Naturally, he understood Mila’s intentions for inviting him to join them
for dinner tonight.
“No, you have
to come!” Truthfully, Mila had another purpose for inviting Gerald to tag along
for the dinner tonight. How could she possibly not know of Victor’s intentions
and interest in her?
This was the
only way for her to stay away from Victor as she did not like Victor at all.
At this time,
Victor had a very ugly and dissatisfied expression on his face.
He could not
say that he would not allow Gerald to attend the dinner tonight, and he could
not possibly allow Mila to bear the costs.
Even if Gerald
were to come for the dinner tonight, Victor would never allow Mila to pay for
the dinner.
Was he that
ungentlemanly?!
Therefore,
Victor replied bitterly, “Mil
a, it’s
settled then. I will buy you dinner
tonight. You
did not follow us for lunch at Homeland Kitchen the last time, so you
have to come
along with us for dinner tonight. As for Gerald, he can come if he
wants to…”
Mila nodded slightly.
Whitney glared
at Gerald as she said, “Hmph! You’re lucky that Victor is allowing you to join
us for dinner tonight! However, you should remember that the only reason you’re
invited to dinner tonight is because you helped Mila. Otherwise, you should not
even be dreaming about it!”
After saying
that, Whitney turned around to look at Mila before she said, “Mila, I will see
you tonight then!”
As soon as she
was done speaking, Whitney turned around and left with Victor.
‘Ugh!’ Gerald
could not help but sigh in his heart.
If this was
the case, there was nothing else he could do but tag along for the dinner.
As Gerald did
not want to think of anything else, he simply focused on his training.
He continued
practicing his driving until late in the evening.
Whitney came
to pick Mila up in Victor’s car.
Quite a few
people were joining them for dinner that night, and most of them were the boys
and girls who were also close to Victor as they were part of the student union.
Quinn and
Nathaniel were also amongst the crowd of people joining them for dinner.
They arrived
at Homeland Kitchen after a short drive. Victor was very generous and had
already booked a very luxurious and exquisite room for them.
Gerald simply
followed them into the room without saying anything at all.
Gerald did not pay much attention to his surroundings and did
not even notice a waiter glancing at him as he walked passed him. The waiter
had a surprised look on his face before he hurried downstairs for inexplicable
reasons.
“Mm. I guess
this must be the first time someone has ever stepped foot into this restaurant.
I’m afraid that he will not have a second chance to do so!”
Everyone was
very excited at this time. Moreover, Quinn was glancing at Gerald as she
targeted her sarcastic remark at him.
“Quinn, you’re
wrong. Gerald has already been here before. He bought his classmates dinner
here last time, and I heard that he spent a lot of money here that night!”
Whitney
quickly replied as she explained what she recalled the last time.
Quinn and
Nathaniel were both very surprised when they heard Whitney’s words.
At this time,
Whitney continued talking about how Gerald had won the lottery and immediately
splurged on his classmates.
Everyone could
not help but stare at Gerald as though they were looking at an idiot.
Gerald could
not be bothered to explain himself to them and simply sat quietly in the
corner.
“Did you win
the lottery?” Mila suddenly asked in surprise.
