Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 313 “Gerald, are you busy later?” Naomi asked, when Gerald took her call.novelbin

“Who, me? No, I’m not busy!” He was sending Queta back to campus. Once she was in class, he’dobviously be free.

“Oh. I’ve found you some side income. A thousand bucks for a day’s work. It’s a simple job: Felicityneeds a driver. I know you’re not hurting for money these days, but a little extra scratch never hurts,right? What do you say?” Naomi presented the proposal delicately.

She knew he’d just about used up his windfall already, but she spoke with tact nevertheless as she wasalso aware that Gerald had become an image-conscious person. He’d even developed a taste for fineclothes!

But for all that, he was still a bro and nothing had changed that between them.

Honestly, when Felicity’s name came up, Gerald had wanted to decline—not least because he knewYvonne and Cassandra would probably also be involved. It would be a madhouse, being caughtbetween those chattering hens.

Yet, he couldn’t bring himself to turn down Naomi’s goodwill.

After a slight pause, Gerald nodded his head and agreed after all. It was all for Naomi’s sake.

“Alright! First, I’ll need you to get back here. We’re going to buy you some things and dress you up!”Naomi laughed happily over the phone.

Gerald sighed in exasperation and turned the car around.

As the girls’ captive, he was given an expensive suit and a pair of leather shoes, all of which he had toput on right away.

It had to be said that Felicity, despite her aloofness towards him all this while, had to admit to being alittle smitten when she saw Gerald in those handsome clothes. She almost complimented him, even…

But then she saw him carefully folding up his old clothes, as though intending to take them with him.

Oh, dear…still just a loser, after all.

“These are fine clothes. Don’t wear them out in a hurry, Gerald! Between the cost of this outfit andsome spending money for you as our driver, you’re getting well over a thousand bucks out of this!”Cassandra remarked with arms folded.

“Yes, I see.” Gerald could only smile and nod.

“Oh? Gerald, is that your new phone?” Naomi had just now spotted what he held in his hand.

He nodded. “Yup! Just got it a few days ago!”

“Whoa, that looks pretty sweet! Pass it here!” Yvonne peered at the device, her interest piqued. Withoutwaiting for permission, she reached over and snatched it away.

One look at it, and she squealed. “My gosh…Felicity, Cassandra, look at this! This is the latest model,new on the market…it goes for over four thousand bucks! Gerald, is this yours?”

As a matter of fact, the most expensive smartphone she’d ever owned, she’d paid for it by installments,to a total of one thousand dollars.

Gerald, the poor man of their class, used a phone worth four times as much?

“No kidding!” Felicity gasped when she saw it, in spite of herself.

“Gerald, I don’t know when you’ve become such a show-off—but for a guy like you to buy a phone likethis, what were you thinking? Felicity is at the top of her game right now and her phone only costs halfas much! You’re just a student with no steady income, so how can you splurge like this? How manytimes must I tell you?” This came from Cassandra, the counselor.

It was as though someone had stepped on her tail.

Only a moment ago, she’d been lecturing Gerald about a set of clothes worth a few hundred bucks…and then he’d whipped out this four-thousand-dollar phone! Where did that leave her?

“Exactly! Why did you get something so expensive? Were you trying to impress some rich kids? Ahh…some people simply don’t have class. Don’t you know, Gerald? Only poor people go for things like this,people with money just buy the cheaper models!” Having suffered some affront from this, Yvonneeagerly joined in the harassment.
