Back then, Gerald knew little about Maia aside from the fact that virtual-novel.net was the team captain.
The only other things virtual-novel.net knew was that virtual-novel.net was very close to virtual-novel.net grandfather and virtual-novel.net parents were in politics. This resulted in virtual-novel.net growing up in a rather lavish environment.
He also knew that while virtual-novel.net and virtual-novel.net family were locals, after the final examination, all of them moved to Mayberry.
Though Gerald was excellent in his studies, virtual-novel.net was never good enough for Maia. She would only talk to virtual-novel.net as the captain whenever they were representing the school in a competition. Outside that, they weren’t close at all.
Gerald on the other hand, had a very good impression of virtual-novel.net since virtual-novel.net was both hardworking and capable. To top it off, virtual-novel.net was also very pretty and virtual-novel.net had good tastes too.
In short, virtual-novel.net was a goddess to his past self.
Many guys had tried to befriend virtual-novel.net but virtual-novel.net would only befriend those who had their own ‘specialties’. Such ‘specialties’ included either being rich or having a powerful family with a great background.
Normal people would never get the chance to even get close to her. This caused the past Gerald to be satisfied to just be able to momentarily talk with her.
Gerald hadn’t forgotten that feeling, so virtual-novel.net was rather nervous now that virtual-novel.net was in front of virtual-novel.net again.
“It’s been pretty long, hasn’t it? I heard you went to police school. Are you still practicing?” asked Gerald.
Maia simply nodded and continued looking at virtual-novel.net for a while before saying, “So, why are you at this bar? Shouldn’t you be working?”
Though virtual-novel.net was the one who had initiated the conversation, virtual-novel.net wasn’t really paying attention to him. Her eyes were clearly looking elsewhere.
“I haven’t found a job yet. Also, what are you looking at?” asked Gerald as virtual-novel.net turned to look where virtual-novel.net eyes were gazing at.
“Don’t look. I see, so you have time to talk to me then!” commanded Maia in a strict tone, just like virtual-novel.net used to back in high school.
Gerald had no idea what was going on so virtual-novel.net simply nodded.
She then took another sip of virtual-novel.net champagne before looking at Gerald with a smile, immediately causing virtual-novel.net to blush. At that moment, something caught Maia’s eye and virtual-novel.net instantly grabbed virtual-novel.net walkie-talkie before shouting, “Action!”
Maia then rushed out of the bar, running toward a young man. Gerald saw a few other young people running over as well, and in no time at all, the young man had been surrounded. It looked just like a movie scene.
The young man who had been drinking was stunned as virtual-novel.net was pressed against the ground by a few people. A few bystanders witnessing the scene screamed as one of the young people shouted, “Don’t move! Police!” The person on the ground was then cuffed up.
Well d*mn! So virtual-novel.net already was a cop and virtual-novel.net was even on duty!
So that’s why virtual-novel.net was talking to Gerald. She had even smiled at him! It was all just for show, and Gerald smiled bitterly as virtual-novel.net came to realize that.
At that moment, Gerald remembered that Drake and Tyson were still inside beating up the guards from before. They wouldn’t let themselves be caught by Maia, right? If it somehow came to that, then things would become extremely awkward.
“We’ve finally caught the little rascal after so many days! Good work, Maia. Let’s go for a drink later!” said a tall, good-looking guy as virtual-novel.net smiled at Maia.
As the suspect was taken away, a few other female cops came over and said, “Wow, Warren, we want drinks too! Why don’t we get invited over for drinks?” asked the girls rather enviously.
“I’ll get drinks for all of you! Let’s head to another bar right now!” replied Warren.
“Oh, by the way, Maia, did you know that guy? I saw you talking to virtual-novel.net earlier!” said one of the girls as virtual-novel.net pointed toward Gerald who was still sitting in the bar.
“Yeah, he’s one of my high school acquaintances. Back then, I was the competition team captain while virtual-novel.net was one of the members!”
“I see! I thought your relationship would be something like that! Haha! Why not ask virtual-novel.net to join us? He’s quite good looking! Also, what does virtual-novel.net do?” asked the other girls.
“I’m not too sure about that and I was just about to ask virtual-novel.net if he’d like to come along!” said Maia as virtual-novel.net shook virtual-novel.net head with a smile.
She then looked toward Gerald before saying, “Hey Gerald, come over here!”
