“Alright then, Mr. Crawford. I will walk you down…”
After Elena was done speaking,
she grabbed hold of Gerald’s arm gently as both of them walked down the stairs
together much to the horror of the crowd of people.
“This, this, this…” Xavia was
very anxious at this time.
What had that woman called him?
Mr. Crawford?
Moreover, Gerald had even said
that his minimum consumption limit was at least thirty thousand dollars! This
proved that Gerald still had a lot of money!
She was certain about that.
Gerald had more than thirty
thousand dollars. He definitely had more money than that!
Those two dresses alone cost
more than fifteen thousand dollars!
Xavia suddenly felt that Gerald
was truly shrouded in mystery now.
It was even more awkward and
embarrassing for Yuri to stand here at this time, and he wanted to pull Xavia
away.
“Sir, we have already wrapped
up the two pieces of clothing you wanted earlier. The final bill is five
thousand and three hundred dollars. Would you like to pay using your bank card
or cash?”
The
salesgirl standing in front of Yuri quickly asked at this time.
In the current situation, it
would not be plausible for Yuri not to buy the clothes today.
To be honest, the only reason
Yuri was willing to spend such a large sum of money today was simply because he
wanted to impress Xavia. He originally thought that he would be able to open a
room and make love to Xavia today if he could coax and impress her enough.
However, the atmosphere did not
seem right anymore!
Even if he bought these two
dresses worth more than five thousand dollars for Xavia, he would still be
losing to Gerald.
Yuri had no choice but to buy
those dresses since there were so many people surrounding them at this point.
Yuri gritted his teeth and paid
the five thousand and three hundred dollars before he left with Xavia.
At the gift shop downstairs.
Harper had already left, and he
was waiting for Gerald at the entrance of the university.
At this time, Elena was still
holding onto Gerald’s arm as they walked along the roadside.
“Mr. Crawford, can I ask
whether you picked these dresses out for your girlfriend? Can I know who the
lucky girl is?” Elena asked Gerald the question with a little jealousy in her
heart.
In truth, Elena had been
observing Gerald ever since the opening ceremony of the Grand Marshall
Restaurant.
She
knew that Gerald was not an ordinary rich second generation. He was different.
He was calm, simple, and he was also very sincere toward others.
If Gerald truly started a
relationship and made someone his girlfriend, he would surely stick with the
same girl. He would not be like the other rich second generations who would
change their girlfriends as they pleased.
If this girl got married to
Gerald, she would become the future wife to the heir of the Crawford family in
the future!
“No, I am planning to give this
to my friend. She’s not my girlfriend!” Gerald smiled as he replied. He felt
very grateful because Elena had really helped him out and saved him a lot of
face today.
At the same time, Gerald was
also very curious and confused. “Elena, it seems as though that gift shop
belongs to the Larson family?”
Elena was very pleased to hear
that Gerald did not have a girlfriend.
Therefore, she smiled as she
replied, “Yes, the Larson family owns many gift shops like this near all the
universities around the entire South Province. This is just one of the many
gift shops that we own! I had nothing to do today, so I decided to come and
walk around while I take a look at this shop!”
Elena did not reveal that the
only reason she had come here was because she knew that Gerald was studying at
this university. Moreover, she came here to walk around because she was
secretly hoping to run into Gerald!
At this time, Gerald quickly
thanked Elena as he turned around to leave.
After all, it was too
eye-catching for him to be hanging out and walking with such a beautiful girl.
“Wait a minute, Mr. Crawford!”
Elena yelled as she tried to stop Gerald from leaving. “There will be a
carnival sorority party next week. Aiden and the rest of the group will also be
going together with me. Mr. Crawford, will you be free, then? Do you want to
come out, have some fun, and hang out with us?”
Elena
bit her lower lip gently as she invited Gerald to join them for an outing. She
knew that there was an eighty percent probability that he would turn down her invitation.
After all, what was Gerald’s status?
However, to her surprise,
Gerald nodded before he said, “Okay, then! I will be free next week, so we can
all hang out together then!”
After all, Elena had really
helped him a lot today.
What was even more important
was that Gerald genuinely wanted to change himself.
He did not want to be so shy,
humble, or conscientious anymore. The only way he could change himself was if
he could get to know more people!
“Alright, it’s settled then!” Elena
replied as she waved excitedly at Gerald.
Gerald and Harper then headed
back to the dormitory.
Harper naturally went to look
for his girlfriend as soon as they got back.
Gerald also wanted to go after
Mila, but he did not know how to do so.
After all, he had had very few
interactions with Mila. He was afraid that she would dislike him if he acted
too rashly.
Just as Gerald was thinking
about it, he suddenly received a phone call.
Gerald was a little happy and
excited when he saw the name on the caller ID.
It was Mila.
“Gerald, are you busy now? If
you’re not busy, do you want to come and practice Subject Two with me?”
“No, I’m not busy,” Gerald
replied as he smiled.
“Okay, then!
I’m already at the venue for Subject Two. Come here! I will introduce a friend
to you when you get here!”
