Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 77

Gerald hung up the phone. Instead of going back to the dormitory, he went straight to the driving school. In his hands, he held the new dress he had bought for Mila. The dress was carefully packaged in a luxurious box. Gerald was planning to give it to Mila when he got the chance. It would be easy for him to tackle girls like Xavia and Quinn who always told their friends that they liked receiving gifts. However, when it came to Mila, Gerald did not think it was a good idea to do so. It might even be counterproductive. Either way, Gerald was curious about who Mila wanted to introduce to him. But as Gerald stood in front of the driving school, he got nervous when he saw the scene before him. Mila was right there, sitting on a long bench just outside the driving school, facing away from Gerald. The thing that made Gerald nervous was the man sitting closely beside Mila. Moreover, Mila was holding the man’s arm, and they looked rather intimate. They were chatting happily while leaning against each other. Dang!

Gerald felt as if his head had exploded. It was too drastic, too sudden for him. His whole mind was about to be shaken! Did Mila get a boyfriend already?! Gerald felt discouraged. He had finally gathered his courage to pursue a girl that he liked, and she was indeed a very kind girl. Even on his way there, Gerald’s mind had been running wild. He was imagining how Mila would react when he gave her the gift. Would she be surprised? Or would she turn him down politely after knowing

his feelings toward her? ‘What should I do if I am rejected?’ Nevertheless, Gerald was eighty percent sure that Mila would accept his gift. Still, Gerald had never expected to see what was before his eyes right now. “Hey! Gerald, we’re here!” Just as Gerald was standing there blankly, Mila waved at him. “Why didn’t you make a sound when you are here already, Gerald? Why are you just standing there?” Mila was still holding the man’s arm when talking to Gerald as he walked toward them. “It’s… nothing!” Gerald looked awkward. Looking at the man beside Mila, he could guess that he was about their age, and he looked rather handsome and smart with a pale complexion. When standing beside the man, Gerald felt intimidated as his outfit was rather shabby. It was only normal for a pretty girl like Mila to have pursuers. “Gerald, let me introduce you. This is my cousin, Kyle Smith. Kyle, this is Gerald that I have been telling you about.” Mila walked toward Gerald, hand-in-hand with Kyle. Gerald was startled once more. ‘Whoa, he is Mila’s cousin?’ Gerald’s heart felt light again as if he had been resurrected from death. “Ooh, he‘s the one you have been telling me about. I heard that you were very lucky to hit a jackpot, Gerald!” Kyle Smith smiled. However, his smile still could not hide the sinister look in his eyes. Let’s think about it. He had come to discuss some matters with his cousin. Then, his cousin had said that she wanted to introduce a good friend to him. She had told him that her friend was a good man and he had won a jackpot recently. Thus, Kyle had thought that it was not a bad idea to meet a new rich friend. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

But unexpectedly, Gerald had come to meet him in such a shabby outfit. He’d had enough. Ugh, was he a hillbilly?! He did not look rich at all! Kyle was rather disappointed. “I’m Gerald.” Gerald nodded to him politely and stuck out his hand for a handshake. “Alright, sister. I’ve met your friend. I need to go back to the university now. It’s Grandmother’s birthday next month, I guess we have decided on what present to give her already. So, goodbye!” Kyle ignored Gerald altogether, putting his hands into his pockets and leaving swiftly after talking to Mila. He had come here today mainly to discuss the present they were preparing for their grandmother on her birthday. “Kyle, you brat!” Seeing her close cousin being so rude to Gerald, Mila became irritated. “I’m so sorry for my cousin’s attitude, Gerald. I will give him a good scolding when I get back!” Mila said apologetically.
