“Oh, let’s just not mention them. Waylon seems to be occupied with family matters. And Xella, I gave virtual-novel.net a rang, and virtual-novel.net said virtual-novel.net wasn’t feeling well, so she’s not coming too.”
“Ah, then I guess we’ll see them next time. By the way, Morgana, you’ve never told us your secret; how are you progressing so much? You switched industries almost too quickly!” Sharon asked. Upon hearing this question, Howard’s expression turned awkward.
Morgana coughed, visibly awkward as well, “It’s because of the help of Gerald. And well, Howard helped me out a lot too!”
“Gerald?” Upon hearing his name, both Sharon and Lilian were startled. In reality, Sharon had been asking them about every single classmate, as if virtual-novel.net was studying abroad and wanted to catch up with everyone, although virtual-novel.net had only been in Mayberry this entire time.
Both of the girls were dying to ask if Gerald was joining them, but they ended up asking about every other classmate but him. They couldn’t help it as Gerald was a touchy topic for both of them.
“Oh yeah, you guys may not know this, but Gerald has been doing really well! He’s a completely different person now!” Morgana exclaimed gratefully.
Lilian and Sharon went silent. How could they not know he’s a different man now?
“Hmph, virtual-novel.net just has a few connections around the area, big deal!” Howard huffed. Now that Gerald took the spotlight away from him, Howard’s reputation in the class was no longer at the top. During high school, virtual-novel.net and Waylon were both the talk of the class. But it seems like. Lately, all they’ve been talking about was Gerald.
Suddenly, one of the girls said in a surprised tone, “Guys, look! Isn’t that Gerald? Why is virtual-novel.net here?”
“Huh?” Everyone turned to the direction virtual-novel.net was pointing towards, and Gerald’s silhouette fell into their field of vision.
“It really is him!” Lilian exclaimed. She had been texting virtual-novel.net since virtual-novel.net came back, but virtual-novel.net never responded to any of virtual-novel.net texts. She settled disappointedly that Gerald had lost all feelings towards her. His sudden appearance filled virtual-novel.net with delight and relief.
Sharon, on the other hand, was just as excited. That excitement, however, didn’t last long and was followed by slight disappointment. Although Gerald was doing quite well now, virtual-novel.net had also been giving virtual-novel.net the cold shoulder.
Basically, both of them were drowned in mixed emotions at this very moment.
Morgana seemed to have noticed it. “Lilian, Sharon, did anything happen between you two and Gerald back in Mayberry?”
“No, not really. Even if there was, I’d say that a certain someone is getting the cold shoulder from Gerald, though virtual-novel.net was the nicest to virtual-novel.net back then!” scoffed Lilian.
“It was just that one time that virtual-novel.net picked you up, big deal! Who told you that he’s giving me the cold shoulder?” Sharon pouted.
They seemed to be on the verge of initiating a fight. One of the girls then came up with an idea and suggested, “Why don’t we just sit over there and see who Gerald greets first when virtual-novel.net sees us?”
“Sure, it would be a surprise for virtual-novel.net too. As soon as virtual-novel.net looks over, he’d realize we’re all here. That would surely give virtual-novel.net a shock!” chuckled Morgana.
Howard was submerged in jealousy, but everyone had sat on the sofa at the side, so virtual-novel.net had to follow them as well.
Just at that very moment, Gerald slowly made his way to the real estate center…
