The Invisible Rich Man's
Chapter 16
He's very disturbed right now.
He didn't even realize that his broom swept a girl's leg as he sat on the pulpit.
“Ah!”
Gerald only realized what he had done when the girl shouted out loud.
Chapter 16
Gerald inadvertently swept the broom over the girl's feet.
He was wearing a pair of white shoes and his calves were very bright. He also carefully listens to Victor as he talks about his car, his undivided attention to Victor's words.
Unexpectedly, Gerald actually swept a dirty broom onto his shoes, soiling his white shoes with dust.
He could not help but yell as he realized what was happening.
His screams suddenly caught the attention of Whitney, Victor, and the others who were in the auditorium at the moment.
“What's up, Mila?”
Whitney rushed over before she asked Mila with a worried look on her face.
Victor also approached Mila.
“No, no, I'm fine. No problem at all.”
Mila Smith tucked her hair behind her ear and she picked up some wet wipes before she leaned over and tried to wipe the dust off her shoes.
However, the more he tried to wipe his shoes, the dirtier the shoes were.
Mila is also obsessed with cleanliness. Therefore, he could not help but frown when he saw his white shoes falling apart.
"Gerald, did you do that to Mila's shoes?" Whitney asked while glaring at Gerald.
He had a cold and aggressive expression on his face.
Moreover, Victor was also very angry at this moment.
“Damn it, you poor man! Do you know how much Mila shoes cost? You will never be able to pay for it!”
After which, Victor stepped forward before he grabbed Gerald's collar.
"No, no, it's not him!"
glaring at Gerald.
He had a cold and aggressive expression on his face.
Moreover, Victor was also very angry at this moment.
“Damn it, you poor man! Do you know how much Mila shoes cost? You will never be able to pay for it!”
After which, Victor stepped forward before he grabbed Gerald's collar.
"No, no, it's not him!"
When Mila saw that Victor was about to beat up Gerald, she quickly stepped forward to prevent him.
Actually, Mila's been watching Gerald for a long time. He felt that he was a very different person compared to everyone else.
Moreover, he could tell that he was not from a rich family background.
Perhaps that was the reason why Victor and the other boys always bullied him.
However, despite being bullied and humiliated all the time, Mila could not see the slightest hint of inferiority in Gerald's eyes. He was completely indifferent and the fact that he was poor did not seem to bother him in the least.
Gerald always had a very humble and sincere look on his face.
Even if Mila wanted to lose her temper, she could not force herself to do so.
Because of this, Mila quickly defends Gerald when he sees that Victor is going to hit him.
“Don't worry, Mila! We should at least make sure that this poor man pays you back for your shoes!” Victor replied cruelly.
Mila is not from the Language Department, but she is a student from the Broadcasting and Media Department.
However, she had been friends with Whitney since they were young and the reason why she came to the auditorium today was because she wanted to have fun.
Although Victor likes Whitney, he is even more interested in his best friend, Mila.
"Oh no! There was no need for him to pay me back for the shoes. I'll go back to the dorm and change my shoes!” Mila said in a hurry.
He also slightly nodded at Gerald.
"You're lucky today, son!" Victor said as he glared at Gerald. In fact, Victor is happy to be able to play a hero in front of two beautiful girls today.
When he saw that Mila was leaving, he quickly approached her.
“By the way, Mila, why don't we go out and eat together after you change new shoes?
After all, everyone must be tired from the training today. I'll treat everyone to a meal at Orchard Gardens!”
"Wow! Garden Garden? I heard that the fruit salad and steak there are very tasty but eating there is also very expensive!”
"Brother Victor, I also want to come!"
"Sure!" Victor answered while clenching his hands together.
At this moment, Whitney grabbed Mila's hand before she smiled and said, “Mila, we will wait for you under your dorm!”
In fact, Gerald knew that Mila did not want to leave at all.
However, Mila can see that everyone is very excited to go there and Victor has just had a fight with Gerald because of him.
Therefore, he could not force himself to refuse his invitation.
Milea nodded small.
“Oke, I'll drive! See you there!”
Victor was very happy because his strategy to get Mila out seemed to work. Therefore, he glanced at Gerald before he exited the auditorium.
Whitney turned and looked at Gerald before he said, “What do you see, Gerald? Do you really think that you are invited to join us for lunch as well? Let me tell you, your subsidy is unconfirmed! You better stay back and make sure you clean this auditorium properly! Otherwise, I will make sure to teach you a lesson when I return! ”
Gerald remained silent as Victor and Whitney continued to mock him together.
In fact, he was very angry at this moment.
However, he knew that he would gain nothing from losing his temper and he would only give Victor a chance to beat him up.
It was really unwise to ask for a beating. Therefore, Gerald decided to just let go.
“Come, Milea! Let's enjoy the ride with the new Audi A6 Victor later!”
Whitney pulled Mila out of the auditorium after glaring at Gerald with a disdainful expression on her face.
Other people also walked out of the auditorium, one after another.
They definitely wouldn't be able to get there with one car so Gerald couldn't help but wonder how they would get there.
Gerald thought to himself as he cleaned up the mess they left behind.
Should he get a car too?
He kept thinking to himself.
When Gerald finished cleaning the auditorium, it was almost noon.
At this moment, Gerald suddenly received an incoming phone call.
It was a call from Harper, the head of his dorm.
"Gerald, are you done cleaning the auditorium?"
Gerald nodded. "Yes." Yeah."
“Is Whitney crazy? We have already discussed this matter among ourselves and we have decided that if he dares to reject your subsidy application, we will take this matter to the rector!”
Gerald felt a warmth in his heart as he said, "Thank you for taking care of me!"
“Gerald, if you are free, come and join us for lunch!”
Harper invites Gerald to lunch, but Gerald can hear a sudden change in his tone.
It sounds like Harper is a little embarrassed.
Gerald is very close to Harper and he naturally knows that something is wrong. This man was usually very manly, so why did he sound so embarrassed and embarrassed today?
"The bingo! Gerald, do you remember that girl named Hayley who was with Alice at Naomi's birthday party last night?”
All the girls from Alice's dorm attended Naomi's birthday celebration last night.
Gerald had a faint impression of Hayley Ians. She has short hair and she looks very cute and petite.
However, her character and personality were similar to Alice's.
He kept rolling his eyes at Gerald last night even though he didn't say anything.
“Yes, I know who he is. Wh why? Did you ask her out?” Gerald asked with a surprised look on his face.
“Yes, I was heading back to the dorm after class today when I met him. She lost her phone in the cafeteria and I offered to help her find it. Fortunately, I was quite familiar with some of the workers in the cafeteria. After checking the CCTV and looking through the cafeteria, we finally found his phone!”
“I feel it is destiny because I was actually quite interested in him when I met him last night. Therefore, I gathered the courage to take her to lunch with me and my friends today. He instantly agreed!”
Harper was excited on the other end of the phone.
To be honest, Gerald was very happy for Harper when he heard his words.
However, Gerald really did not want to date Alice and her friends.
He could not tolerate them rolling their eyes at him!
“That's great, brother! I wish you the best! I thought I would skip lunch because I didn't want to be a light bulb!” Gerald replied with a laugh.
"Damn! How can you do this to me, Gerald? All our brothers have agreed to come with me. Naomi will also be here today! Looks like Naomi is going to introduce someone very important to you today. If you take advantage of this opportunity and make the most of it, you might be able to change your life in a heartbeat!”
Harper is also very concerned about Gerald.
"A very important person?"
Gerald couldn't help but think, Damn it. Don't tell me Alice will be there today?'
