It was at that moment when Gerald finally arrived.
In his hand was his own bracelet which virtual-novel.net had bought the day before.
Though Giya had said that breakfast was going to be on her, Gerald had given it some thought while virtual-novel.net was on his way there. Since virtual-novel.net was planning to leave the girls alone once the bracelet had been handed over to virtual-novel.net anyway, virtual-novel.net might as well treat them to one final breakfast.
He was prepared to pay the bill no matter what.
However, as virtual-novel.net approached their table, virtual-novel.net noticed that Yacob was also there. What more, it seemed that Yacob had just given Giya his own bracelet gift.
“Gerald! Over here!”
Giya had not wanted to look at Yacob so virtual-novel.net had been staring at the staircase. The moment virtual-novel.net saw him, virtual-novel.net smiled and waved virtual-novel.net hand to call Gerald over.
“Why’s that kid here too?”
The expression on Yacob’s face instantly soured the moment virtual-novel.net saw Gerald.
It was a rare occasion for virtual-novel.net to be able to spend time together with Giya and the other girls. However, Yacob’s jealousy evaporated the moment virtual-novel.net saw how Gerald was dressed.
However, it was still slightly troubling to virtual-novel.net since Gerald was obviously getting closer to Giya.
“Of course he’s here! Giya specially invited Gerald here for breakfast today! You’re actually sitting in his seat now, Yacob!” replied Tammy.
“Hold on… What’s that in your hand, Gerald?”
“Well, it’s partly my fault that virtual-novel.net bracelet fell out of my hands the day before so I got virtual-novel.net a new one!” replied Gerald bluntly.
“Gerald! Didn’t I say you didn’t have to compensate me? You’re spending way too much money for just a jade bracelet! I never blamed you in the first place!”
It was no secret to virtual-novel.net that Gerald wasn’t too rich since virtual-novel.net overheard conversations about virtual-novel.net from time to time.
It was too bad since virtual-novel.net was the one who had helped virtual-novel.net in the first place. However, now virtual-novel.net had spent so much just because of her.
How could virtual-novel.net possibly rest easy?
What more, Giya really hadn’t thought much about the bracelet since it wasn’t really worth much to virtual-novel.net anyway.
She felt slightly anxious now.
“Hah! How much money would this kid even have to spend in the first place? You’re overthinking it, Giya. He probably bought the gift for a few dollars at the night market!” said Yacob coldly.
“Hahaha! Don’t worry we’re aware of the possibility. How could Gerald ever afford to pay for a seven thousand and five hundred dollar bracelet?” Tammy laughed after saying that.
“Also, tell us the price of the jade bracelet already! We really can’t guess it!” virtual-novel.net continued.
“Alright, alright. I’ll just tell you the price then. It’s not too much. It only cost around eighteen thousand dollars!”
While virtual-novel.net was speaking, virtual-novel.net kept peeking at Giya to see what virtual-novel.net reaction was.
However, Giya’s expression remained indifferent.
All the other girls however, were stunned.
“Eight… Eighteen thousand dollars?!” shouted Tammy.
The other girls couldn’t say anything, their mouths wide open in shock.
Even a few other female students who were sitting close by constantly peeked at their table.
The bracelet itself already looked spectacular from every angle and felt like a rare gem.
The price reveal after was simply too outrageous and several girls in the shop ended up looking at Yacob with different expressions on their faces.
“My god, Yacob! You’re really willing to spend for Giya!” said one of the girls enviously.
After all, the man had spent eighteen thousand dollars just to buy a gift! How capable was virtual-novel.net in order to afford that without going broke?
Were there any girls who could resist this kind of temptation in the world?
“Do you like it Giya?”
Despite knowing that Giya didn’t like him, even if virtual-novel.net had a heart of stone, she’d definitely be moved by his gift this time, right?
Giya didn’t bother to answer his question. Honestly virtual-novel.net was starting to get fed up with him.
After getting ignored despite his good intentions, Yacob couldn’t help but feel slightly uncomfortable.
While all this was happening, Gerald was still standing where virtual-novel.net initially was with his own jade bracelet in hand.
