Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 553 “Holy! Queeny? I already gave you an answer!” shouted Gerald with a jump. He definitely hadn’texpected her to chase after him.

“What is with you? I’m just… concerned! Look, you may have won the lottery or something, and thoughI’m not sure how much you won, aren’t you acting a little too naively? Society’s going to eat you up! Nomatter how much you’ve won, be careful and don’t get tricked or you’ll end up in the streets later on!”

‘Yeah… That made much more sense. Gerald must have invested in the attraction with the lotterymoney.’ This was the only reasonable conclusion that she could come up with at that moment. Heremotions were in disarray and she was feeling extremely upset by the sudden change in powerdynamic. After saying what she needed to to calm herself down, Queenie immediately left the office,her cheeks puffed up.

“Hah. This girl… If she ever found out about my true identity, I’d never hear the end of it!” said Geraldbefore chuckling.

As Blake went off to run his errands, Gerald decided to get some shut-eye before leaving the attractionand getting some proper rest.

He definitely didn’t want to join Queenie and her friends. Queenie didn’t want him around anymoreeither. After some time passed, knocking could be heard on the door.

“Mr. Edward? I’ve brought the newcomer over to report to you!” It was a soft female voice and Geraldwas slightly taken aback when he heard it.

“Come in!” said Gerald.

The door then slowly opened and a girl in a uniform entered the office. She had long hair and a nicefigure. In her hands was a document and behind her was another beautiful girl.

“Mr. Edward, I’m…” The girl’s voice slowly trailed off. She was about to introduce herself, but her wordsjust wouldn’t form the moment she saw who was sitting in the office.

Gerald was speechless as well. He simply stared at the two girls as the awkwardness in the officegrew.

“M-Mr. Crawford! It’s you! I… I didn’t know you’d be here!” said the girl as she immediately lowered herhead in embarrassment. She didn’t dare to make eye contact.

“…Xella? Sharon? What are you two doing here in Fuenti? Aren’t you supposed to be in SereneCounty?” asked Gerald as he continued staring at the two.novelbin

When Gerald was investigating his company, Xella had learned of his true identity. As for Sharon, sheknew too since she was present during the incident at the real estate center. This was why the situationfelt so awkward for all three of them.

Though he remembered what Xella and Sharon had done to him in recent memory, he was still goodfriends with the two girls back in high school. Xella had even fought against Waylon for bullying Gerald.

He didn’t exactly have the time of his life in high school, but with the two girls around, his high schooldays still ended up being pretty nice. Even back then, a lot of people looked down on him but not thesetwo. They really treated him like a good friend.

This was the sole reason why Gerald still felt reserved when it came to the two of them. Even thoughtheir friendship was no longer the same, Gerald still felt obligated to treat them kindly.

“Mr. Crawford, I’ll be going to the human resources department now. Sharon’s just joined the company.Oh, and since tomorrow is your birthday, the company’s assigned a few good looking girls to beescorts.”

‘Ah, so they still remember my birthday. Well this is a little weird…’ He thought to himself.

“Ah, I see… Well, Blake’s now busy decorating the place!” said Gerald as he stood up. The situationwas still extremely awkward.
