Gerald hung up the phone. Instead of going back to the dormitory, virtual-novel.net went straight to the driving school.
In his hands, virtual-novel.net held the new dress virtual-novel.net had bought for Mila.
The dress was carefully packaged in a luxurious box.
Gerald was planning to give it to Mila when virtual-novel.net got the chance.
It would be easy for virtual-novel.net 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, virtual-novel.net got nervous when virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net liked, and virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net gave virtual-novel.net the gift. Would virtual-novel.net be surprised? Or would virtual-novel.net turn virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net walked toward them.
“It’s… nothing!” Gerald looked awkward.
Looking at the man beside Mila, virtual-novel.net could guess that virtual-novel.net was about their age, and virtual-novel.net 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, virtual-novel.net is Mila’s cousin?’
Gerald’s heart felt light again as if virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net wanted to introduce a good friend to him.
She had told virtual-novel.net that virtual-novel.net friend was a good man and virtual-novel.net had won a jackpot recently.
Thus, Kyle had thought that it was not a bad idea to meet a new rich friend.
But unexpectedly, Gerald had come to meet virtual-novel.net in such a shabby outfit. He’d had enough.
Ugh, was virtual-novel.net a hillbilly?!
He did not look rich at all!
Kyle was rather disappointed.
“I’m Gerald.”
Gerald nodded to virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net birthday.
“Kyle, you brat!” Seeing virtual-novel.net close cousin being so rude to Gerald, Mila became irritated.
“I’m so sorry for my cousin’s attitude, Gerald. I will give virtual-novel.net a good scolding when I get back!” Mila said apologetically.
