The Invisible Rich Man's
Chapter 411
"Gerald, did you come here for lunch?" Morgana asked, with a hint of disbelief.
At the table sits Morgana, her boyfriend, Cameron, and several other people. Everyone smiles in their own way.
Mead Hall is unmistakably a top-class company, and you are paid by the chief here, starting at a minimum of thirty dollars per person. After taking into account the drinks and so on, each meal could easily cost hundreds.
Everyone knows Gerald isn't rich, so this is a pretty strange circumstance.
Gerald returned their smiles. "Fuckin' thick! I met some friends, and I thought I would treat them all to lunch here! Who would have thought I would also meet you here!”
“Pfft! We eat here all the time!”
“Ah, Gerald... It's nice that you treat your friends with something, but did you know that they charge at least thirty dollars per person here? Are you sure this is a good idea?” This came from a girl sitting next to Morgana, who also attended the same High School as them.
Sulli is her name. Not a girl who looks bad. He scrunched his mouth as he gave her that warning.
After all, this was a top-class place, reserved only for people like him, who already had a certain standing in society. Not that he's so proud to eat here, but... come on, a bum like Gerald ate lunch here? It just makes him lose his taste.
People like him should just stick with fast food and hot dog shops, that sort of thing.
That's really embarrassing. Does Gerald consider them equal?
That was why he took such a sharp tone with her.
“Hey now, Sulli! You shouldn't talk to Gerald like that—he's got a lot of pride too! If he wants to eat here, that's all. After all, this is an opportunity for us to get to know the friends he made! Ha ha ha!" Cameron sneered as he said this.
Sulli chuckles. “Yeah, Cameron... Kind of friends like Gerald—are you sure you want to shake hands with them? After all, I only said that for his own good: Without taking into account his own capacity, thinking of eating wherever he wanted? Life is beyond his own ability..no one respects such a person!”.
He hasn't liked Gerald since High School: some poor bum prancing around in front of him! He hardly cared about his feelings.
After all, for Gerald to eat at the same restaurant as him showed that he did not care about his feelings either.
“Alright, Gerald's friend will come anytime. Lower, you!” Morgana couldn't bear to watch any longer.
Gerald gave him a smile and a nod.
“Cameron, who is this guy? Classmates from High School?” A girl dressed beautifully next to Cameron asked curiously.
“That's right, ahahaha! Think he's funny? If he's your type, Gerald's still single—you could be his girlfriend!” Cameron laughed out loud.
"Hi! Cameron, you're the worst! Keep this up, and I won't talk to you again!” The girl pinched the soft part of her arm.
Everyone laughs. Gerald remained silent and continued to nod.
"Hey look! Gerald blush! I know..he must have really liked the idea of Nevaeh being his girlfriend! Otherwise, why would his face turn red like that? Ha ha!" One of them decided to join.
"Yes! Serious offer, Gerald. If this girl suits your taste, she's yours entirely. My words are good!” Cameron laughed again.
“Nothing—I already have a boyfriend!” Gerald replied desperately, though he understood that they were just making fun of him with it. It was the same in high school. Gerald knew it was better to be quiet.
