Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 355 “Sorry, there were just too many people in the library earlier for my comfort! I just studied in mydormitory!” replied Gerald.

“Oh, I see! Well, from now on, we can go to the library earlier. Whoever comes first can reserve a seatfor the other, alright?”

“Actually there’s something I have to attend to now, I’ll get back to you later!”

Gerald threw his cell phone aside after replying to her message.novelbin

He was indeed, trying to avoid her. In fact, ever since things had gotten better with Mila, Gerald hadbeen deliberately trying to keep his distance from other girls.

After all, once the current exams were over, Gerald and the other students from his department wouldstill have to stay back in school for another three months to deal with their thesis and dissertations.

Those from Giya’s and most other departments would have left to get their internships during that time.

He would never see her again.

Gerald also knew for a fact that he could never fit in well in Giya’s circle of friends.

With that reasoning in mind, his muddled thoughts became clear and he didn’t spend time worryingabout it any longer.

After that, two days just came and went without much of a hitch.

During those two days, Giya would always send him a message in the morning and the afternoon,saying that she had already reserved a seat for him in the library and that she was waiting for him tocome study with her.

Every time she asked, Gerald simply made up an excuse to turn her down.

Aside from that, she had also been inviting him for meals to express her gratitude. Since she knew thathe would be uncomfortable if Tammy and the other girls were around, there was even a time when sheasked if he wanted to eat with just the two of them together.

However, Gerald simply turned those invitations down as well with more of his excuses.

After that, Giya stopped asking him out. In the next three days, he didn’t hear from her at all.

It almost seemed as though she had disappeared.

Gerald didn’t think too much about it. He simply focused on studying and doing his own revision everyday. He would also spend his time chatting with Mila about her recent developments.

Everything was back to normal.

Late one afternoon, Gerald was returning to school after meeting up with Zack. He stopped by the milktea shop in front of the school as he was planning to get Harper and the other boys some drinks.

“Gerald?”

Out of the blue, a female voice called out to him.

When he turned around, he saw that it was Tammy. It seemed as though she was waiting in line to buymilk tea as well. Though she looked slightly surprised to see him there, she also had a very bitterexpression on her face.

In the past, she would always laugh and tease him whenever she saw him.

However, the only look she was giving him now, was one filled with hatred.

Gerald didn’t mind that. His milk tea was ready at that moment. He smiled at Tammy before saying, “I’llpay for this beautiful girl’s drink as well!”

“Alright!” replied the seller with a smile on his face.

“There’s no need for that! Who needs you to pay for me! Why are you so nosy?!” shouted Tammy inresponse as she glared at Gerald.

“I… Tammy, what did I do?” asked Gerald, confused.

“So you don’t even know what you’ve done, huh. Don’t you realize how many times you’ve alreadyrejected Giya’s invitations?” growled Tammy angrily as she frowned.

Gerald coughed. He knew this was coming.

“Do you know that Giya would wake twenty minutes earlier every day just so that she could go to thelibrary and reserve a seat for you? When we asked her why, she told us that you would be joining us atthe library to study together in the future. But you never came. You just kept making dumb excuses!”

“Even during her afternoon study invitations, she would always bring fruits along saying that she hadalready notified you about studying together. But of course you didn’t go!”

“You did it to Giya for two days in a row! Don’t even talk about the times Giya tried inviting you out formeals. She was so afraid that you just weren’t used to eating out, that she even ordered and bookedsome food for you from the cafeteria! She just wanted to have lunch with you and she didn’t even allow

us to join her since she was afraid that we would tease you too much. Even then, you still refused toaccept her invitation!”
