The girl in question was Leila Jung.
Gerald honestly didn’t hate her, nor was virtual-novel.net as irritated toward virtual-novel.net compared to virtual-novel.net parents.
However, virtual-novel.net really hoped that virtual-novel.net hadn’t seen virtual-novel.net right now.
At that moment, virtual-novel.net recalled his time as a seven or eight-year-old kid. His father had brought virtual-novel.net out, and it was then that virtual-novel.net had met Leila for the first time.
Back then, virtual-novel.net thought that virtual-novel.net was really beautiful and that virtual-novel.net would definitely have virtual-novel.net as his wife when virtual-novel.net grew up.
Gerald couldn’t blame his younger self for thinking that either. After all, young Leila was always clean and pretty. She wore nice clothes all the time as well.
However, the thing that hadn’t changed was virtual-novel.net arrogance. She didn’t like the fact that Gerald wasn’t a city dweller.
Young Gerald had tried getting closer to virtual-novel.net on multiple occasions, but virtual-novel.net would always turn virtual-novel.net down.
Gerald remembered how optimistic virtual-novel.net was to make virtual-novel.net his wife, even though virtual-novel.net was still a little afraid of virtual-novel.net back then.
Fortunately, his feelings for virtual-novel.net faded once Gerald entered middle school.
Now that they had met again, however, Gerald knew that if virtual-novel.net ever exposed his true identity to her, Leila would be head over heels for him.
He shook his head before looking back at her.
But things were much different now.
Rather than wanting to chase after her, virtual-novel.net was trying his hardest to avoid her. Sadly, as the saying goes, you attract what you fear!
“Were you trying to ignore me? Didn’t you clearly see me earlier? I even got off the taxi because I just so happened to see you cycling down the road!” asked Leila in an angry tone. She seemed to have broken virtual-novel.net foot.
“Oh, Leila! Sorry, didn’t manage to see you there!” replied Gerald awkwardly.
“Well, now that you have, I was planning to take a bus to Mayberry today. Unfortunately, I broke my foot so I won’t be able to go alone!”
As virtual-novel.net said that, virtual-novel.net limped closer toward Gerald.
“Ah, that’s a pity! I hope your foot heals soon! I’ll be taking my leave now!” said Gerald hurriedly before trying to get past the automatic doors again.
“Hey! I’m injured here! Why are you trying so hard to leave? You aren’t showing any concern at all!” grumbled Leila. His indifference toward virtual-novel.net situation was somewhat disappointing.
She considered the fact that Gerald could just be afraid of virtual-novel.net at that moment. Thinking back, however, virtual-novel.net remembered when virtual-novel.net had first met Gerald at virtual-novel.net home. Back then, virtual-novel.net would obey everything that virtual-novel.net ordered virtual-novel.net to do, just like a dog.
She also recalled how virtual-novel.net never used to take his words and actions seriously. That all changed when virtual-novel.net found out that Gerald was rich.
Leila herself was now caring about the way Gerald thought of her. She was also finally willing to take his words and actions seriously.
Yet what was Gerald doing? Why was virtual-novel.net showing indifference to virtual-novel.net now?!
She wouldn’t have batted an eye if virtual-novel.net treated virtual-novel.net this way in the past but not now!
Everything about their relationship was going topsy-turvy and that made Leila really displeased!
“Ah. Oh no, your foot looks hurt. Are you okay?” asked Gerald reluctantly.
“Humph! It’s fine!” shouted Leila angrily.
She could remember that event clearly. That day, Gerald had withdrawn ninety thousand dollars before virtual-novel.net very eyes. What more, Gerald had helped Auntie Lacy achieve virtual-novel.net work target. She was even made the vice president! Leila knew about this because virtual-novel.net mother had cried a lot over the incident. Leia was still deeply upset about the matter.
Leila herself was shocked after hearing that. She felt as though virtual-novel.net was losing control of everything!
“Glad to hear! Well, I’ll be returning to my room now. Need to get some beauty sleep after such a busy night!” Gerald replied with a yawn.
He wasn’t kidding either. He really just wanted to get some rest now.
“So, this is where you’ve been staying?” asked Leila, startled again.
“Yep,” virtual-novel.net replied before finally making it past the automatic doors.
“Gerald you’re being so cold! I’ve injured my foot and I just want to go home! Can’t you at least give me a ride back?” yelled Leila, virtual-novel.net eyes growing slightly red.
This person who had been pampering virtual-novel.net all this time was now treating virtual-novel.net like virtual-novel.net was nothing!
“With what? A car? A car that I sold so that your dad could get some ‘donations’?”
“That… Well, I saw you park that Ofo bike! You can give me a ride on a bicycle! Also! My mom fell sick with anger last night because of what you did! This will be a prime opportunity for you to visit her!” replied Leila, frustrated.
“F*ck you and you mom! Glad that virtual-novel.net is! Now leave me alone, both of you are none of my business!” cursed Gerald who had already lost his patience.
