“What did you say? Wealthy heir, are you?! Hahaha!” Irene was thoroughly enjoying herself now.
Mila had always been untouchable, beyond anyone’s reach… to think that she would have picked such
an oddball as her boyfriend! What a
moron.
Kenneth was sneering as well. “In that case, Gerald, if I may be so
bold, what sort of work do you do? Which
field is your family involved in?” As he said this, he brandished his
wristwatch again, as though worried people
might fail to notice his
Rolex.
Gerald
regarded the two of them coldly. “You don’t deserve to hear about my family
business.” “Bwahahahahaha!”
Clutching their bellies, they burst into laughter.
Mila tugged gently
on his shirt, pleading for him to stop talking.
She had said all of that
just now because
she had been in a panic.
She hadn’t expected Gerald
to take
the ball and run with
it.
Mila was well aware that Gerald came from
modest means and was always getting bullied too. It was just that he had won a lottery later on.
Still, lottery or no, he was nowhere near
someone like Kenneth Lee. She had just wanted to stand up to Irene.
Instead, this had only made
things worse!
As the four of them were wrestling with their own inner
demons…
Bang!
A bottle was hurled to the ground
in rage.
“I
don’t care, I don’t care! I just want my license! I want to start driving
today! I don’t care what you have
to do as long as it gets me
my driving license!”
Gerald glanced over.
A young woman in her twenties was throwing a
tantrum at her boyfriend, and both were fashionably dressed.
The girl had probably failed
her test, hence,
her current mood.
“Calm
down, Mina. I’ll think of something. Maybe I can pull some strings and get that
license issued for you somehow!”
“Hmph!
That’s more like it. It’s not fair that all the other girls can get theirs so
easily. Anyone could see that there
was something wrong with my car, otherwise, how else could I have screwed up
reverse parking?! Aaah! I have to be
in your Lamborghini Gallardo as soon as possible so I can show off at my old school!”
Mina was losing
her mind while the guy was just trying to reason with her.
Gerald sighed
gently. Those two seemed familiar but he couldn’t
quite place his finger on it just at the
moment.
“Sean, Mina!” Kenneth called out cheerfully.
“Oh? Kenneth,
you know that big
guy with the Lambo?”
Irene asked, combing her hair a little.
“Yup. Sean Girard, my senior back at Sunnydale University. His
family is in dairy, they’re old money. When
I checked up on him recently, he had just bought a Gallardo for almost six
hundred thousand dollars. Holy cow!” Kenneth was clearly
delighted to be acquainted with such a personage.
“Wow! Half a million
for a sports car! That’s
awesome!” Irene was seeing stars now.
Kenneth’s Ferrari
had only cost a trifling
hundred thousand or so.
This new guy sounded very sexy.
Kenneth took a moment to tidy his clothes
and then hurried over to say hi.
“Kenneth,
so it’s you!” As he approached, Mina stopped her boo-hooing instantly, and
everyone began exchanging pleasantries.
“What
a coincidence! Come to think of it, it’s been years since graduation, huh? Yo,
let’s see, here… You’ve got a Ferrari?
Looking good!” Sean laughed wryly.
“What’s
my car compared to your Lamborghini? Oh, right—have you got it here now? I’d
love to see it up close!”
Clinging to Kenneth’s arm, Irene gave Sean a little
smile.
That counted as a greeting too.
