He made the promise without even the slightest hesitation.
It was much better than telling Felicity that virtual-novel.net was actually Ordinary Man.
But now wasn’t the time for that. Now was the time for Felicity to ask virtual-novel.net fans to look for Giya.
After virtual-novel.net descended the stairs, the other could see that Gerald clearly had something weighing on his mind.
As virtual-novel.net paced around slowly, both Felicia and Quade followed closely behind him.
Felicia kept alternating between poking Quade and nudging virtual-novel.net head toward Gerald’s back. It was clear that Quade wanted to say something to Gerald.
Quade, however, definitely looked like virtual-novel.net didn’t dare to go up to Gerald.
“Quade, it’s really no big deal. Go ahead and talk to Gerald about it!” said Tammy as virtual-novel.net sighed, looking at the two. She couldn’t bear seeing them act so sneakily behind Gerald anymore.
Gerald heard his name being called and virtual-novel.net turned around. Behind him, virtual-novel.net saw Felicia poking Quade while both of them stared back.
Gerald was slightly confused at the scene but virtual-novel.net shook his head before looking at Quade and asking, “What’s the matter?”
Quade coughed while adjusting his glasses. “I need your help with something, but I’m not sure if you’ll be willing to lend a hand…”
Initially, Quade had looked down on Gerald but when virtual-novel.net saw that virtual-novel.net drove a Mercedes-Benz G-Class, virtual-novel.net was shocked.
“Go on…”
“Well, my elder sister works in a leasing company. She needs to lease a Mercedes-Benz G-Class this month though virtual-novel.net hasn’t had any luck getting virtual-novel.net hands on one yet… If virtual-novel.net fails to hit virtual-novel.net target this month virtual-novel.net might get fired. You may already have guessed by now, but could you please lease it to my sister’s company for three days? Just three days. My sister will definitely pay you the leasing fee!” said Quade.
Gerald understood Quade’s situation.
Some companies specialized in stuff like that. People would sign leases for cars for different reasons such as shooting for movies.
Once the lease was signed, if anything happened to the car, the leaser would not be held responsible for it. The leaser didn’t have to bother about all the expenses either. The car would just be leased for a few days and they could earn three thousand dollars without needing to do anything else.
“If that’s the case, sure. I’ll lease it to her,” said Gerald as virtual-novel.net smiled faintly.
Gerald found no reason to decline. Quade had a hand in helping Gerald find Giya too after all.
What more, Gerald approved of him, seeing how much virtual-novel.net cared for his sister. Gerald could understand his worries since virtual-novel.net had a sister himself.
If Gerald’s sister was ever in any trouble, Gerald would rush over to help virtual-novel.net without the slightest fear or hesitation.
“Thank you, Gerald! I’ll call my sister now to tell virtual-novel.net the good news! She’ll be coming over soon with a contract for you to sign!” said Quade excitedly.
Soon after, his sister arrived and the contract was signed. Once that was done, Tammy and the others went home to try getting their connections to help resolve the issue of Giya’s disappearance.
Gerald called Zack up himself along with a few others.
They needed to find something. Anything that could give a clue as to where Giya’s whereabouts was.
Otherwise, Gerald knew that virtual-novel.net would not be able to rest easy for the rest of his life.
Night came soon enough.
Gerald was exhausted and hungry after doing all that virtual-novel.net could the entire day.
He retreated for the moment to a restaurant to fill his belly up before resuming the search.
“What do you mean? Do you think I’m unnecessary? Am I that bad?”
While virtual-novel.net was having his meal, Gerald suddenly heard arguing coming from a dining table not too far from his.
There were voices of two women and a man.
All three voices came from the same dining table. It seemed that the man had been caught red-handed cheating with another woman. The man’s original lover was the one doing most of the shouting as the cheating duo remained silent.
“I treated you so well! What do I lack that virtual-novel.net has? You loved me before this… Do you not anymore? Why do you want to be with her?” The woman continued shouting at them.
This sort of scene wasn’t uncommon. Gerald really didn’t need to look at them at all.
However, virtual-novel.net had glanced up out of curiosity since they were being so noisy. This resulted in his gaze being fixed upon the trio.
The shouting woman turned out to be Lilian.
As for the pair who had been caught cheating, they were none other than Hayward and Sharon.
Turning back the clock to the day of the class gathering, Gerald remembered hearing from Waylon that Sharon was now Hayward’s girlfriend.
Lilian must have been anxious all this time since virtual-novel.net liked Hayward too.
A slap was heard, and the shouting ceased.
The recipient of the slap was Lilian.
Sharon had stood up, a cold expression on virtual-novel.net face. “Lilian, that’s enough. Are you out of your mind?”
