Gerald was in a great rush. He knew that this should’ve been over and done with two days ago.However, due to that hiccup with Xeno, this dorm project was delayed. Since some of the areas were chosen explicitly by Gerald, he decided to pay a personal visit to the real estate center. Gerald entered the center and immediately approached the front counter. The moment the real estate agent noticed Gerald, her expression immediately darkened. She was filled with awkwardness and dejection.She had thought that Gerald was just another poor idiot without enough money to afford a property. Hence, when he had come by under the company of Leila Jung, she insisted that Gerald take up a loan. Her attitude towards Gerald was cold as well; she thought he wasn’t worth the effort since he didn’t seem to be the wealthy type.Then the very next day, he decided not to take up a loan. Instead, he wanted to buy the property with full payment. This would mean that the agent would have earned the l

“What?!” Everyone in the lobby, including Luna, was stunned. What followed after was a room full of laughter. Especially Luna and the Millers, they laughed so hard that tears were welling up in their eyes.“Hahaha, holy f*ck my dude, you can’t just go around bluffing like that!” Mr. Millers laughed, holding his abdomen.“Is he insane?” “Yeah, two whole buildings! I thought I f*cking misheard him, hahaha!” “Yo… do we need to call for security?” Even the employees at the front counter seemed to be running out of breath from all the laughing. Suddenly, the manager walked into the lobby with a stern expression. “What happened? Where is everyone’s sense of professionalism? Just look at all of you! Ridiculous!”Luna bit her lip to keep her composure. “No… No sir, this man over here, Gerald Crawford, he… he said he wanted two of our buildings! Hahaha!” Tears streamed down her bright red cheeks.The manager seemed to be more professional than these agents. He took a deep brea

“Gerald, we’re having a little gathering, and we were going to invite you along with us!” Lilian rushed to his side and explained.Everyone was now staring at Gerald, waiting for a response. It would seem that being able to even stand next to Gerald would help heighten your status. Sharon stared at him, blankly. Still being doused in mixed emotions, she fell silent once again.“Okay, have fun then! I still have some matters to tend to, so I have to go now!” Gerald smiled. Without hesitation, he then exited the lobby immediately. Sharon was mildly annoyed when she saw Gerald taking off. He didn’t even glance in her direction. Dismayed, she felt like she could hear the sound of her heart-shattering.As Gerald left the lobby, he slowly walked towards the road and decided to call a taxi. However, another voice called out to him. “Gerald? Are you waiting for the bus?A Camry then stopped in front of him, with its windows down. It was Bianca, and next to her was Ava. And for the

“Who exactly is she?” asked Gerald. “Well, Miss Miles is the godsister of the vice-head of the marketing department. It’d be best if you just watched out whenever she’s around!” whispered Fay. Gerald simply shrugged and proceeded to do as he had been told. Since he wanted to continue being undercover for as long as he could, he may as well just listen to her. With that, he began downloading some movies. “Hey, hey you! Logistics guy, what on earth are you doing?” asked a middle-aged man in a cold tone. His arms were folded against his back. Since Gerald was seated near the lobby entrance, the man must have caught sight of Gerald’s computer screen. Behind the man, stood another employee, but this wasn’t just any regular employee. It was the vice team leader in Ava’s group himself, Nathaniel. He seemed to be enjoying the show and he smirked as he said, “Mr. Murphy, it seems that this employee is downloading movies during office hours! Haha! How ballsy! And to think that this is ju

When he opened the door, Gerald was greeted by Zack Lyle’s secretary. She was here to have him sign a few contracts. Since there were several projects in progress, the number of contracts to be signed had naturally increased as well. “Hmm? Hold on, what’s this?” called Gerald out to the secretary just as she was about to leave. He noticed an envelope that she had left on his desk. When he opened it, he saw a stack of concert tickets inside. From what he could tell, there were approximately fifty of them. “Ah, well, Mr. Crawford, since seven different projects are in progress right now, the company decided to organize a concert. Around thirty singers have been invited, and that number doesn’t include the number of bands that are participating as well!” explained the secretary with a smile. “As Mr. Lyle said, you have several friends living here in Serene County. Thus, he told me to send a stack of tickets your way. If any more are needed, Mr. Lyle would be more than happy to send
