”Yes, I won a bit of money!” Gerald replied as he smiled.
“Why did you
spend all that money? Didn’t you save some money for yourself?” Mila asked.
“Save some?
Gerald is such a vain person, so how could he possibly have saved any money?
Hahaha…” At this time, Victor had just walked into the room, and he happened to
hear everyone discussing how Gerald had won the lottery.
How could he
possibly not take advantage of this opportunity to trample on Gerald?
“Okay, okay,
everyone, please take your seats. By the way, I ran into the president of the
student union from the other department when I went downstairs just now. I
invited a few of them to come over and join us for dinner later!” Victor said
as he laughed.
“That would be
perfect, but Victor, even though our room is very luxurious and exquisite, I’m
afraid that we will not be able to fit so many people into our room.”
When Whitney
heard that the president of the student union from the other department was also
here, she became very interested and happy.
Whitney really
wanted to meet up with them because she was someone who loved to make good and
close relationships with anyone who had power and status.
“Yes! Three of
them will be coming over to join us. If it was just two of them, it would be
easy for us to squeeze them in. However, it is clearly difficult for us to
squeeze another extra person in!” Victor said anxiously as he
scratched his forehead.
Gerald knew
that he was deliberately saying those words to him.
Now, the only
reason why Gerald came for the dinner tonight was because he was giving Mila
face.
Gatherings
with friends were always like this. One friend would be invited, and he would
invite another friend, and so forth.
Even though
the host would feel uncomfortable with this situation, he would not be able to
say anything at all.
Gerald was
placed in a very tough spot because Mila was the one who had invited him here
tonight.
Sigh. Tough
love. Gerald could not help but sigh to himself.
When he saw
the jug of juice on the table, Gerald wanted to pick it up to pour himself a
cup of juice.
However,
before he could pick up the jug, someone turned the Lazy Susan around and moved
the jug of juice away from him.
Since there
was now a pot of tea in front of him, Gerald decided to drink some tea instead.
However,
before he could pick up the pot of tea, someone turned the Lazy Susan again.
Who was it?
Gerald was
startled and raised his head to look around, only to notice that Whitney had
one hand placed on the Lazy Susan. She was also glaring at him.
“Gerald, didn’t you hear what Victor just said? He said that
this table would be overcrowded and there would be one extra person at this
table!”
What did it
have to do with him even if there would be one extra person at the table?
He really had
to teach this woman a lesson when he had the opportunity to do so.
Gerald had
truly had enough of Whitney’s nonsense.
“He is so
shameless! He is eating for free, and he is actually occupying someone else’s seat
as though he belongs here!” Quinn also chimed in contemptuously.
She naturally
said this on behalf of Victor and everyone else at the table. After all, she
had nothing good to say to Gerald since she also personally despised and looked
down on him.
“Mila, why
don’t you ask Gerald to go back first? You can just invite him out for dinner
next time. Just look at how messy and difficult the table arrangement and
seating is now! This is completely unnecessary!” Whitney began to persuade and
work her charms on Mila at this time.
Mila frowned
immediately. If she had known that something like this would happen, she would
not have come here with Gerald at all.
At this time,
Mila was contemplating whether to leave the restaurant with Gerald.
Before she
could say anything, Quinn pointed at a small table next to them before saying,
“Well, Gerald does not necessarily have to leave. However, he will need to go
and sit at that small table over there to eat his dinner instead. We will give
him some dishes on a plate. That would not make much difference for him anyway,
right?”
“Okay then, I
think that’s a great idea. Since Gerald is just a pauper, we should not let him
get used to eating too many good dishes anyway. Otherwise, he will
not be able to afford to pay for his appetite in the future!”
Nathaniel agreed with Quinn as he laughed.
These bunch of
people really had very foul mouths!
To be honest,
Gerald just wanted to slam his hands on the table and leave immediately.
However, as
soon as he stood up, Gerald changed his mind immediately.
Leave?
If he left,
wouldn’t he be teased and ridiculed all day by them for no reason at all?
D*mn it! He
was not going to leave today! After all, how could he possibly allow them to
bully him in his own territory?
This thought
ran through Gerald’s mind in an instant.
After that, he
nodded before he said, “Okay, that’s fine. I will just sit at that small
table.”
After he had
spoken, Gerald grabbed his stool before sitting down directly in front of the
small table.
At this time,
someone suddenly pushed the room door open…
