“As if virtual-novel.net could ever be a billionaire. Who knows how virtual-novel.net got all those tickets? Big deal! I’m leaving!” said Ava aloud as virtual-novel.net slammed virtual-novel.net chopsticks on virtual-novel.net bowl.
None of the girls even bothered to respond to virtual-novel.net taunt. They were all more focused on trying to figure out what they could do to return the favor to Gerald. They soon thought of something and by the time evening came, a mountain of snacks was on Gerald’s desk.
“Hey babes, I’m back!” said a voice out of the blue.
A dashing young man then entered the office as virtual-novel.net announced his arrival with arms spread out as though virtual-novel.net were anticipating a welcome hug. However, all virtual-novel.net heard was, “Hey, Gerald! Please tell us how you got those tickets. Come one, tell us!”
Everyone else was still focused on Gerald, and nobody welcomed the young man. Well, aside from one person.
“Oh? Stuart, you’re finally back!” said Ava as virtual-novel.net stood up and welcomed virtual-novel.net warmly.
Who exactly was Stuart?
Stuart was the team leader for the second team, and virtual-novel.net had been sent to Mayberry for training. During his training, virtual-novel.net had gone to different cities to check how well the company was doing in the other areas.
As for his physical traits, virtual-novel.net was very good looking and only seemed to be slightly older than Gerald.
He was the one who had led Ava when virtual-novel.net first joined the company, and virtual-novel.net had the biggest crush on him. This was no secret either, as everyone in the company knew how much virtual-novel.net adored him. Stuart, however, was a lone wolf. A wild man. Though Ava had made multiple attempts to woo him, virtual-novel.net had managed to deflect every single one of them. Despite that, virtual-novel.net still treated both virtual-novel.net and his good friend, Nathaniel, rather nicely.
“Hmm? Who’s that, Ava? A new face?” asked Stuart, rather irritated that his spotlight had been stolen by a small fry.
“Humph. He’s just my high school classmate. His name is Gerald Crawford, but don’t worry, Stuart. My heart will always belong to you!” replied Ava.
“Gerald huh? He’s new to the company, yet he’s already fooling around with his co-workers and not doing his work as virtual-novel.net should? How dare he?” said Stuart as virtual-novel.net nodded to himself. He looked as though virtual-novel.net was planning to do something.
Gerald was finally able to have some peace of mind when his shift came close to ending.
Just as virtual-novel.net was thinking so, virtual-novel.net was startled by the sound of a mug being slammed on his desk.
“Hey newbie, get me some hot water as soon as the water boils!” ordered Stuart.
“I don’t think that getting water involves my field of work,” replied Gerald calmly. Gerald was no pushover, so virtual-novel.net wasn’t going to back down easily.
“You’re just a newbie, so get to it!” said Stuart, his voice even colder this time.
“Oh, Gerald, it should be an honor for you to run errands for Stuart. Just do as you’re told! Who do you think you are, some kind of billionaire?” said Ava as virtual-novel.net walked over and stood next to Stuart. She seemed to be even more annoyed than Stuart himself when virtual-novel.net heard Gerald talking back to him.
“Give me one good reason why I should do so.” Gerald simply refused to give in.
“Stuart’s the king of business here, but you probably didn’t know that, right? About sixty percent of our investments were all thanks to Stuart! How’s that for a reason?” scoffed Ava.
“Also, you probably don’t even know how powerful his family truly is! Haha, I bet you really thought that you were someone special for a second there, didn’t you?” virtual-novel.net added before shooting a dirty look toward Gerald. She seemed to be extremely proud of herself whenever virtual-novel.net mentioned anything about Stuart.
Just as Mina and the others were about to stand up for Gerald, Stuart’s phone began to ring and virtual-novel.net immediately picked up the call.
“Yes, this is Stuart… Wait, what? How did this happen? That’s impossible! Could you repeat that?” yelled Stuart into his phone as the color on his face slowly drained away.
