The Invisible Rich Man's
Chapter 194
Why is such a strong man interested in his friendship?
Gerald also wouldn't just come out and say the reason. Today was just a chance meeting.
He was a gentle-hearted man and had a special sympathy for those who suffered.
Of course he could instantly solve their problems: Find a better place for them to live in, put all the children into school.
However, ever since Gerald saw Queta again, his heart raced uncontrollably. Some subtle emotions forced him to get closer to her, to get to know her better.
He did not understand this feeling.
However, recalling now, he had already known since the first time he had seen her ... Just one glance from the side and his face had burned in his memory.
A girl he met purely by chance. How could he feel like this about her?
He has no clue at all. All she knew was, ever since she met him, she felt like she had known him forever.
The two of them started talking, warming each other up at all times.
Unknowingly, the entire afternoon had passed.
“Queta, Yasmin, I'm leaving now. I will visit again in a few days!” Gerald waved at the girls and left.
After spending the day with them, his heart felt light, his soul peaceful for the first time in eternity.
Then the phone rings. That's Lilian.
When they last parted ways, Gerald asked to exchange numbers with him. Reluctantly, he agreed.
"I'm telling you, Gerald .. I'm inviting you to be a part of this meeting, and you're going to be late for the first time?" Lilian's voice was sharp with reprimand. “I told you to meet at five. Where are you?"
“Oh, something came up, so I was arrested. On the way now, maybe ten minutes!”
Without a word, he hung up the phone.
Gerald smiled wryly.
He should have avoided this 'old schoolmate' problem. What a headache!
But he had already given his words, so he had to keep it up now. He returned to the parking lot, started his car, and headed to the hotel where the reservation had been made.
“You're long enough, Gerald! You really made everyone wait for you, you know? ” Lilian's face wrinkled horribly upon seeing it.
“Yes God, this is really Gerald! After years! No patches on your clothes.Did you start dressing like a normal person?”
“Oh, Gerald, did I hear you went to Mayberry University? That's a magnificent place! How you been lately? Internship will come soon — find yourself a place somewhere, yet? ”
“Please sit down first. Gerald, tell us all about what you've been through, these last few years. ”
They were in a private dining room, with a large table that could easily hold two dozen. That's a number of 'old friends' who are present tonight, including a handful of former classmates in High School. It was a crowded and comfortable affair.
Gerald smiled at everyone, then saw a girl at the end of the table: Sharon Leslie!
The prettiest girl in class, and her best friend in high school. They always studied together.
In fact, each has stored some measure of affection for each other.
However, Sharon did not want to get involved with someone from her background.
Likewise, Gerald did not dare to get involved with someone from his background.
There was a too big a mistake in their stars.
So, they are never more than each other than friends.
“A long time ago, Sharon. Are you okay?” Gerald smiled at him. Sharon has changed a lot. She has learned how to use make-up, and her appeal now goes far beyond what she remembers.
First class beauty without question.
“I'm fine. Why don't you find a place to sit!” Sharon replied with a smile and with a tone that neither meant to be evil nor disparaging.
After three years of no contact, whatever they had between them had long since disappeared.
They're just strangers, now.
"Good!" Gerald looked at the empty chair, and he moved to pick it up.
"Who said you could sit there?" However, before she could actually do it, another girl—another former classmate— snapped at her violently, freaking her out.
