The Invisible Rich Man's
Chapter 562
“Oh? Are you busy or what? Oho! Don't worry, it'll be Chase's treat today! Even if we have to settle our own bills, I will support you, okay?” lolita said while assuming Gerald's concerns.
Of course, this is not about monetary matters. It's just that Gerald still has to celebrate his own birthday today!
Even if Gerald refused his invitation, it would not be a problem for Lolita. However, since he now knew that Mr. Weiss would be present as well, he could not help feeling that he would let down his former teacher if he did not join the meeting.
“No, this is not about money. To be honest, I originally planned to invite you to celebrate my birthday with me today! But since you've already mentioned Mr. Weiss, how about this? I'll just go with you for a quick chat with him. After that, I will return and return to my own celebration!” answer Gerald.
"…Oh? Is it your birthday today? Well this is embarrassing! All right, I think your plan sounds good. We'll go there, chat with Mr. Weiss and our other classmates, then we'll go together and celebrate your birthday! What about Xeno? Have you invited him?” ask Lolita.
“Already, but he said he can only come during the day. His business is still new, and he hasn't had time to hire more employees. He has to deal with a lot of things!”
"Good! And yes, he is impressive now! Although my father used to underestimate his family, he personally brought some presents for them yesterday!” lolita replied, a little envious.
Gerald simply nodded without adding anything.
By the time their plan was completed, it was already approaching eight o'clock.
The two then rushed to the designated restaurant in the city. Since Gerald lived in the main village, the main street in the city was within walking distance.
Meanwhile, some of their former Junior High classmates were already at the entrance of the restaurant.
They all gathered together as they chatted amongst themselves. After all, isn't this the purpose of all the class reunions? A meeting like this will always be very friendly.
The content of their conversations largely considers their current status quo as well as much reminiscing about their shared past.
"See there! Lolita is here!” said a few classmates while pointing at him and Gerald.
"…Huh? That's Gerald, right? Well d*mn! I don't think he'll be here today! ”
“You know, I heard the news that Gerald was living a miserable life at university. He even struggled to pay his own tuition fees! Another friend of mine told me that while she was eating with her own friend in Mayberry City, she saw Gerald washing dishes in the kitchen! It was too embarrassing for him to even go to Gerald and say hello!
“Heh, after all he was always poor. He had no choice but to take any job he could find!”
When everyone saw Gerald, he instantly became the main topic of their conversation and they just laughed.
Within the group, one of the girls clearly stood out among her other classmates due to her incredible temperament. He had just been chatting with his friends when he heard Gerald's name being mentioned.
She immediately felt goosebumps on her skin as she blushed and turned to look at Gerald who was still walking.
“Hehe... You used to date Gerald, right Sherry? Don't try to deny that you two have ever dated!” said one of the girls while covering her mouth with her hands, trying not to laugh.
“Do not talk nonsense! When did we ever get into a relationship?” sherry replied as her cheeks became as red as tomatoes.
“You two must have been in a relationship at one point. I remember you exchanging letters with him! You used to be very close to Gerald!” adding the same girl from before.
"That's not true…!" sherry replied in a softer tone.
“Sherry, don't you remember why Xeno beat someone…? Anyway, let's forget about that. Let's talk about something else!”
Realizing that she was about to step on a landmine, the girl quickly tried to change the subject while sticking out her tongue somewhat awkwardly.
“By the way, did you still see the man who tried to defeat Gerald back then?” ask another girl.
“We have long stopped meeting..” replied Sherry while blushing.
After saying that, he turned to look at Gerald again. He hasn't seen her in six years.
