"Job ...? Also, you still haven't told me why you came to look for my grandfather today!” cindy said, her curiosity was getting bigger.
"Nothing serious, I just came to ask for his help, not a big deal," Gerald replied.
“I understand... Oh! Since you're already here, why not enter? I'll make you tea!”
“Maybe next time, I'll be right back. I will just go to the bank now to withdraw some money, ” replied Gerald with a smile.
"What a coincidence! I would also go to the bank to give my mother's phone to her. Let's go together!" cindy said as she walked out of the store and stood beside Gerald.
Gerald could only nod awkwardly.
All he wanted to do was leave quietly after leaving the pendant for Matthew to analyze and withdraw his money. He really didn't expect to meet Cindy here today.
"So, your mother forgot to bring her phone?" ask Gerald to break the silence as they walk into the bank.
“Well, that's kind of true. Look, my mom has a couple of cell phones. The bank where he works is in dire need of funds and capital. Since my mother was the deputy director and she had to meet her target, she needed several cell phones to call different customers. He was really busy the whole time!” answer Cindy.
The two arrived at the bank shortly after.
"Mom, I brought your phone here for you!" Call Cindy to a middle-aged woman who seems to be waiting for someone.
Hearing Cindy's voice, she turned to look at Gerald and his daughter.
"Thank you Cindy, and who is this?" ask Cindy's mom.
"friends only. Name's Gerald. I thought I mentioned him to you last time! He was the one who invited me to eat French cuisine in a western restaurant. Hehe..It just so happened that we met while we were both on our way to the bank! He is here to withdraw some money!” cindy replied with a smile.
"Oh? So here's the young man. Not bad, pretty handsome too! Will you two come out together later to play?” ask mother.
Gerald didn't need to be a rocket scientist to say that Cindy's mother must have thought of him as Cindy's boyfriend by then.
“Ah, not at all! Once I withdraw some money to pay for my home, I will leave soon!”
"Oh? You have bought your own home!” said Cindy happily.
As he said that, he remembered when his daughter told him about everything that happened that night. French cuisine seems to be very expensive and this is proof that this young man is at least financially capable.
He even bought a house for himself.
At that moment, another middle-aged woman walked towards the three.
Inevitably Gerald felt surprised when he finally saw who was speaking. That's Leila's mother, Leia.
Leia also works at the bank, and she is also a leader and deputy director. She and Cindy's mother have the same rank.
"What are you doing here, Gerald?"
He certainly did not expect to meet her there.
"I've come to withdraw money!" gerald said without bothering to call her 'Aunt Leia' again.
“Oh, I see how it is. Can't even be bothered to greet me by my name now? Why bother trying to show off if you don't have money now? ”
“Also, you can start working in the labor delivery unit this month if you have just paid according to the agreed. You know, there are a lot of other people who donate more than you. Since you only donated seventy thousand dollars to your Uncle Jung, you will have to wait a little longer before you get your job!”
Leia took every opportunity she could to widen the gap between Gerald's status and hers.
“Vice Director Tolbert, what are you talking about? Poor fellow?" ask Cindy's mom for wonder.
“Oh, you don't know? So that's why you talked to him! I don't think poor Cindy knows about this either. Well, you see, Gerald's here now ... "
And with that, Leia took the opportunity to share how the Gerald family used to be so poor. He even told them about the car he was selling to buy his new home.
Naturally, he also continued to emphasize how poor Gerald was now.
'F* ck! I almost pushed my own daughter into the lion's den!' Cindy's mother thought inwardly while shuddering.
At that moment, the sound of the tire creaking was heard as the car stopped right outside the bank. When the four people turned their heads to look, they could see some men in suits running to the bank.
"Mama! Your phone is here! Let's grab!”
Leila, Douglas, and the two girls from the previous day enter the bank, with Leila calling. It seems like the group is out to play again.
Coincidentally, they were here to give Leia's phone to him as well.
“Gerald? What are you doing here?" leila asked as soon as she saw him.
