“Heh. Hey, your name's Gerald, right? Why don't you take the jade bracelet you bought for Giya and show it to us as well?”
In his mind, Yacob thought that Gerald was the surest reason why Giya had ignored him all along.
Therefore, he is targeting Gerald now.
“Forget mine! The jade bracelet I bought is not as good as yours. You don't have to see it! ” says Gerald honestly.
After all, he had just bought a jade bracelet that cost seven thousand five hundred dollars to Giya. It was simply not worth the unreasonable price of a Yacob gift.
After all, if he really wanted to mock Yacob, it would be easier for Gerald to slap him in the face instead.
However, Gerald did not want to get involved with him or Giya and his friends too much in the future so he abstained for now.
Mila was sincere with him so she wanted to do the same.
Therefore, there was no reason for him to compete with Yacob. Nothing good will come from him and he will get nothing.
“That's right, Gerald! Don't be shy, we won't laugh at you. Show us!” said Tami.
Before he could even answer, Tammy had already walked over to Gerald. He took the box out of his hand and placed it on the table.
All the girls are waiting for him.
Imagine comparing an eighteen thousand dollar jade bracelet to a bracelet that costs only a few dollars!
The difference will be like heaven and hell.
Tammy opened the box in one quick motion.
Gerald just lowered his head, knowing he would be ridiculed. After this, he just needed to find a reason to forgive himself and leave.
Everything will be settled and he will not owe Giya anything anymore.
He waited for the mockery to begin.
He waited, and waited, and waited.
But it never came. Neither Tammy nor Yacob ridiculed him at all.
Peering to see what took them so long, he saw Tammy staring at her jade bracelet, an expression of extreme shock on her face.
“Gerald..ini..this bracelet...you bought this jade bracelet?” Tammy stuttered as she finally gathered strength to speak.
The other girls were still recovering from the revelation, their mouths were wide open, speechless.
“F *ck! That's a dragon jade bracelet! I saw this thing online and it sold for about thirty thousand dollars!”
“What do you mean high-class imitation? It is easy to authenticate it from a fake so imitating it from the start is impossible!”
"That's right! Good Lord! Gerald jade bracelet worth thirty-two thousand dollars!”
If the girls had not really seen and held onto the actual product at that moment, they would not have believed the statement even if it cost them their lives.
But that's him. The dragon jade bracelet in their hands.
Gerald was also dumbfounded and he felt cold sweat begin to drip from his forehead.
Damnit damnit! He took the wrong box this morning! Although the two boxes were very similar, Gerald had marked them with numbers, seven and thirty-two, to distinguish them.
He made sure to check that he was holding a cheaper bracelet box before he went with it, so what was the thirty-two thousand dollar dragon jade bracelet doing here?
Damnit damnit!
Gerald's heart was pounding.
Everyone was still shocked speechless!
Even the surrounding female student customers had descended from their seats and gathered around their desks at this moment.
"Let me see that!" giya said as she carefully picked up the jade bracelet from Tammy's hand.
After examining her closely, Giya looked at Gerald with a look of disbelief on her face. “...This is the truth. It's really authentic. Gerald, did you buy this?"
Gerald didn't know how to answer.
While all this was happening, Yacob's face became as red as a tomato. His cheeks were flushed with surprise and anger. He felt as if he had just been slapped hard!
“H-heh! And here I think that you are an honest person. You're just one of those pretentious guys, aren't you? Saying that your own bracelet is not as expensive as mine. You did this on purpose to mock me, right?”.
Even Yacob's ridicule was uttered with a slightly trembling voice. Inevitably he felt extremely anxious seeing how he had truly lost face today.
“I... no.. mean it... I really think that mine is cheaper than yours... Who could have guessed that it is actually more expensive?”
Those words were true because Gerald did not want to compare his bracelet to Yacob's bracelet.
At that moment, Gerald suddenly remembered that he had not touched those two jade bracelets at all since he had brought them back to the dormitory. Someone must have accidentally, or intentionally changed it. He would ask Harper and the kids about it when he came back.
Hearing Gerald's honest reply, Yacob felt like he had a punch in the stomach this time. He was so embarrassed at this moment.
“Quick and answer us Gerald! Did you buy this jade bracelet?”
All the girls looked at Gerald expectantly. Their eyes were sprinkled with admiration and excitement at the same time.
