The Invisible Rich Man's
Chapter 560
This time, it was a call from Giya.
"Tomorrow your birthday, don't you, Gerald?" giya asked as soon as she picked it up.
"Hmmm…"
“Huh! Why don't you invite me to celebrate with you? I've been waiting all day for you to call me today! It's been this late but you still haven't invited me.. Could it be that you've forgotten me?”.
"Absolutely not. It's just that since I returned home, I only plan to hold a simple birthday celebration!” obviously Gerald.
To be honest, Gerald had absolutely no plans to invite Giya.
Even though she's very nice to him, Gerald just wants to be with Mila now. He didn't want to get too close to other girls. Therefore, he concludes that continuing a complicated relationship with Giya will not work.
Moreover, Giya got into trouble when she was here with him last time. Gerald was embarrassed to even invite him to come again.
“Whether you invite me or not, I'll come to your house to look for you tomorrow. Except... You don't consider me your friend at all..?”.
Giya leaned her head against the head of the bed as she spoke over the house phone. He was currently in a room in a villa.
Through the phone, Gerald could only agree helplessly as he nodded. Soon after, he came up with a pretext that said he was busy and ended the call.
“Huh! You b*star! You are completely heartless towards me! ” Giya said with a sad expression on her face before hanging up the phone as well.
He initially expected Gerald to take the initiative of inviting him to celebrate his birthday with him. Instead, he now felt that if he did not call her, he would definitely not invite her at all.
Moreover, ever since that big incident, every time he tried to find Gerald just to have a simple chat with him, he always replied nonchalantly. At most, it was common for him to reply with just a few words.
This made Giya a little uncomfortable. The more he felt uneasy, the more he couldn't help but think too much about the matter.
At that moment, a knock could be heard on the door of his room.
“Giya? Are you asleep? Your father and I have some things to discuss with you!” said Giya's mother from behind the door.
Both of his parents then entered his bedroom. Giya could see that her father had a very sad expression on his face.
“Giya, I know you don't want to hear this, but the Quarrington family in Yanken gave us an order this time. They want you engaged to the third young master of a long family in the Yanken. There's really nothing more we can do about this. ”
"Trs. Crawford has helped us solve our family's economic problems last time. However, the Quarrington family still pressured us until now. We really can't do anything and we can't always count on Mr. Crawford to help us. So tell us Giya, what do you think about the marriage contract with the long family?” ask Giya's father.
Giya's mother sighed before saying, “Although we have already ended our relationship with the Quarrington family, the influence and power they have over us is simply too great. Please don't blame your father, he's done everything he can. You should consider how this staked the interests of the company here. Besides, it will also affect your uncle and all the other employees who work for our family too!”
“Is there really no other way? You know, we can still beg Gerald to help us! He will definitely help me!” giya replied, her eyes glazed over.
“Giya, although Mr. Crawford is very capable, Mayberry Commercial Group is only influential in Mayberry City. The Quarrington and Long families, on the other hand, have larger groups and companies in Yanken!” his father said while sighing.
“What's more, the third young master of the Long family might even come to visit us tomorrow. You should stay home and be prepared to meet him. If he leaves a very bad impression on you, we might still have time to think about the solution!” added Giya's father.
"No! I'm not free tomorrow! It's Gerald's birthday and I'll celebrate with him!” giya replied angrily.
“Tomorrow you don't go anywhere. You should not bother Mr. Crawford's about our problem again. You're just a young girl who doesn't understand anything!”
As soon as she finished her sentence, Giya's father immediately pulled her mother out of her bedroom.
Giya was so anxious about everything that she was ready to cry.
Moving back to Gerald, he woke up at six in the morning the next day.
Gerald called Zack last night. He wants to celebrate his 22nd birthday.
Since the guests could arrive early, Gerald decided to tidy up the place first.
At that moment, a girl suddenly entered through the front door.
“Gerald! I've heard from my mom that you've come back, but I've tried looking for you several times and you've never been home!”
