At this time, one young man and two young women walked into the room with the floor manager from last time.
The young man
and the two young women looked like students from the other department in their
university.
The young man
was very handsome and tall, and the two young women were dressed in short
skirts and were both very beautiful.
This felt like
a scene where the guy had won over two beautiful girls for himself.
Gerald could
not help but feel a little uncomfortable when he witnessed this scene. Why
couldn’t he be liked by beautiful girls such as this? Ugh…
The tall young
man greeted each of them one by one.
Just then, he
suddenly saw Gerald who was sitting alone at the side.
“Hello,
brother! My name is Lenny Dumont! I am the president of the student union for
the management department. Let’s… be friends?”
The young man
quickly greeted Gerald with a very sophisticated smile on his face.
The two
beautiful girls who had come with him also stared curiously at Gerald.
However, when they saw his casual clothes and the way Gerald
was dressed, they started feeling a little contemptuous.
“Hahaha!
Lenny, you don’t have to introduce yourself to him or befriend him. His name is
Gerald, and he is just a pauper in our department! He came here today just to
enjoy a free meal!” As a committee member of the student union, Nathaniel
naturally knew Lenny. Therefore, he quickly spoke up as he smiled.
“Oh… I thought
so too! Hahaha!” Lenny hurriedly retracted his outstretched hand as he laughed
faintly.
Then, he
continued laughing and chatting with Victor.
Mila was
really angry at this time. She truly regretted bringing Gerald here with her
today, and she honestly felt like leaving with him.
However,
Gerald was still smiling, and it did not look like he had suffered any damage
to his self-esteem despite their constant attempts to ridicule and humiliate
him. Mila could not help but feel a little curious.
“Craw…
Crawford!”
The floor
manager who had just entered the private room was completely stunned when she
saw Gerald.
She had been
dubious when one of the waiters had informed her that the rich man from last
time was here again.
Of course,
Gerald was not just any ordinary rich man. Otherwise, the floor manager would
not have been so shocked to see him.
In fact, the
lobby manager already knew of Gerald’s identity because of the general manager
at Homeland Kitchen.
Gerald was the
overlord of Mayberry Commercial Street. He was Mr. Crawford! The Mr. Crawford!
The reason why she had not said anything earlier was because
she had been confused by Victor and Nathaniel’s words.
Wasn’t Gerald
the protagonist today?
As the floor
manager did not understand what was going on, she did not dare to continue
respectfully greeting Gerald as she did not want to expose his identity.
“Why are you
here?” The floor manager asked Gerald in a soft, yet excited manner.
“Oh, sister,
didn’t you hear what they said? I’m here to enjoy a free meal!”
Gerald replied
as he smiled slightly. Fortunately, someone had recognized who he was.
Therefore, it would be easier for him to place an order later.
“Yes, yes, I
heard it!” The female manager nodded quickly.
“Sister Jenny,
did you come in person just to take our order?” Victor smiled as soon as he saw
the floor manager. He felt that she was giving him so much face!
Sister Jenny
did not say anything at this time, but Victor did not notice anything amiss and
simply continued ordering a table full of dishes.
“Brother
Victor, are you going to just order two signature dishes? Can’t you order two
more signature dishes for us?” Quinn asked hopefully at this time.
Wasn’t the
taste and characteristics of the signature dishes the thing that stood out the
most at Homeland Kitchen?
In truth,
Whitney also hoped that Victor would order an additional two signature dishes.
However, those signature dishes were very expensive and she did not want Victor
to spend too much money because of them.
Therefore, she hurriedly said, “Two signature dishes would be
more than enough! Did you know that one of those signature dishes already costs
more than a few hundred dollars each?”
“Wow!” Quinn
was stunned at this time.
Even the two
girls that Lenny had brought with him here today were also taken aback at this
time.
The dishes at
Homeland Kitchen were truly extraordinary indeed.
“Sir…what
would you like to eat?” The floor manager asked Gerald cautiously.
“Hahaha. We
will just give him some of our leftovers later! Why should he be ordering his
own food?” Nathaniel replied as he snorted coldly.
“Exactly! What
is his status anyway? He should be grateful that we are giving him our
leftovers,” Quinn added as she glared at Gerald.
Victor smiled
but did not say anything at all. To be honest, he felt that Gerald was not even
worth a plate of potato shreds.
Thankfully, he
had invited Nathaniel to come along for the dinner tonight.
Otherwise,
Victor did not know how else he could humiliate and insult Gerald in front of
Mila!
