“Holy! Queeny? I already gave you an answer!” shouted Gerald with a jump. He definitely hadn’t expected virtual-novel.net to chase after him.
“What is with you? I’m just… concerned! Look, you may have won the lottery or something, and though I’m not sure how much you won, aren’t you acting a little too naively? Society’s going to eat you up! No matter how much you’ve won, be careful and don’t get tricked or you’ll end up in the streets later on!”
‘Yeah… That made much more sense. Gerald must have invested in the attraction with the lottery money.’ This was the only reasonable conclusion that virtual-novel.net could come up with at that moment. Her emotions were in disarray and virtual-novel.net was feeling extremely upset by the sudden change in power dynamic. After saying what virtual-novel.net needed to to calm herself down, Queenie immediately left the office, virtual-novel.net cheeks puffed up.
“Hah. This girl… If virtual-novel.net ever found out about my true identity, I’d never hear the end of it!” said Gerald before chuckling.
As Blake went off to run his errands, Gerald decided to get some shut-eye before leaving the attraction and getting some proper rest.
He definitely didn’t want to join Queenie and virtual-novel.net friends. Queenie didn’t want virtual-novel.net around anymore either. After some time passed, knocking could be heard on the door.
“Mr. Edward? I’ve brought the newcomer over to report to you!” It was a soft female voice and Gerald was slightly taken aback when virtual-novel.net heard it.
“Come in!” said Gerald.
The door then slowly opened and a girl in a uniform entered the office. She had long hair and a nice figure. In virtual-novel.net hands was a document and behind virtual-novel.net was another beautiful girl.
“Mr. Edward, I’m…” The girl’s voice slowly trailed off. She was about to introduce herself, but virtual-novel.net words just wouldn’t form the moment virtual-novel.net saw who was sitting in the office.
Gerald was speechless as well. He simply stared at the two girls as the awkwardness in the office grew.
“M-Mr. Crawford! It’s you! I… I didn’t know you’d be here!” said the girl as virtual-novel.net immediately lowered virtual-novel.net head in embarrassment. She didn’t dare to make eye contact.
“…Xella? Sharon? What are you two doing here in Fuenti? Aren’t you supposed to be in Serene County?” asked Gerald as virtual-novel.net continued staring at the two.
When Gerald was investigating his company, Xella had learned of his true identity. As for Sharon, virtual-novel.net knew too since virtual-novel.net was present during the incident at the real estate center. This was why the situation felt so awkward for all three of them.
Though virtual-novel.net remembered what Xella and Sharon had done to virtual-novel.net in recent memory, virtual-novel.net was still good friends with the two girls back in high school. Xella had even fought against Waylon for bullying Gerald.
He didn’t exactly have the time of his life in high school, but with the two girls around, his high school days still ended up being pretty nice. Even back then, a lot of people looked down on virtual-novel.net but not these two. They really treated virtual-novel.net like a good friend.
This was the sole reason why Gerald still felt reserved when it came to the two of them. Even though their friendship was no longer the same, Gerald still felt obligated to treat them kindly.
“Mr. Crawford, I’ll be going to the human resources department now. Sharon’s just joined the company. Oh, and since tomorrow is your birthday, the company’s assigned a few good looking girls to be escorts.”
‘Ah, so they still remember my birthday. Well this is a little weird…’ He thought to himself.
“Ah, I see… Well, Blake’s now busy decorating the place!” said Gerald as virtual-novel.net stood up. The situation was still extremely awkward.
