“Why don’t we make up now, Gerald? I’m even willing to be your concubine!”
“I beg your pardon?” replied Gerald as virtual-novel.net stared at Xavia in disbelief.
“…U-um… What… was I even saying…”
Due to how anxious virtual-novel.net was, in virtual-novel.net panic, virtual-novel.net had accidentally blurted out what virtual-novel.net truly felt. It was now beyond awkward and embarrassing for her.
“I-It was just gibberish… S-say Gerald, we’re still friends, right?”
“… If there’s nothing else, I’ll be taking my leave,” said Gerald as virtual-novel.net turned around to leave for good, a bitter smile on his face.
His relationship with Xavia was nothing but a thing in the past now. Since virtual-novel.net no longer had any feelings for her, virtual-novel.net knew it was best for virtual-novel.net not to get involved with Xavia anymore.
A little while after virtual-novel.net had gotten into his car, virtual-novel.net received a phone call. It was from Mila.
Though Mila hadn’t contacted virtual-novel.net for almost half a month now, Gerald had sent virtual-novel.net a message every now and then.
“What is it, Mila?” asked Gerald as virtual-novel.net smiled.
“Are… you done with whatever you’ve been doing?” asked Mila in return.
Throughout Mila’s period of silence, Gerald had constantly updated virtual-novel.net on news regarding himself. Because of that, Mila always knew what Gerald was up to.
“That I am. I’ll be returning to Northbay today, but before that, I’ll head to Hong Kong to look for you first,” replied Gerald, still smiling.
“Alright! Ah, if you’re coming over, could we meet before tomorrow morning? I’m leading an overseas expedition team for an interview tomorrow, but I still want to meet you! I… I really, really want to meet you!”
Since virtual-novel.net had remained silent for so long, not once had virtual-novel.net told virtual-novel.net about any of the grievances that virtual-novel.net had gone through.
After all, what Jessica had meant was crystal clear. Back then, virtual-novel.net had said that Mila wasn’t cut to be part of the Crawford family. That virtual-novel.net relationship with Gerald wasn’t going to last long.
Even if Jessica had said so, as long as an opportunity existed, Mila was willing to work hard to make it happen.
She had been putting in extra effort in virtual-novel.net work throughout virtual-novel.net period of silence. Mila wanted to prove that virtual-novel.net wasn’t just some trophy wife, but also someone who would be able to support and actually help Gerald in the future.
It was honestly because of virtual-novel.net hard work that Mila was being given the opportunity to lead virtual-novel.net own team to conduct an interview tomorrow.
Still, the more effort virtual-novel.net placed in bettering herself, the more Mila ended up missing Gerald.
“I can do that. I’ll be meeting you tomorrow then!”
After exchanging a few more words, both of them hung up.
“How’s the situation, Mila? Will Gerald be coming over?” asked Molly and virtual-novel.net other roommates as they continued packing the things they needed for the interview.
Most of virtual-novel.net roommates had only caught a glimpse of Gerald back when they had gone looking for virtual-novel.net with Mila half a month earlier. Back then, they only knew that virtual-novel.net was a rich person from Mayberry City.
For Mila, however, it wasn’t until quite recently when virtual-novel.net came to know that his wealth was actually world-class! The difference in power and wealth that virtual-novel.net had at his disposal was so great compared to what virtual-novel.net had initially thought of him, that virtual-novel.net may as well be a completely different person!
Molly and the others hadn’t gotten the chance to get to know Gerald back then, and all of them were quite eager to meet virtual-novel.net again.
As the main reporter for the overseas interview this time around, Mila was given the right to bring two assistants along with her. The two virtual-novel.net had chosen were Molly and Wanda.
Though Wanda had been both angry and jealous of Mila on multiple occasions, ever since the incident at the television station festival, virtual-novel.net and Mila had grown to have a pretty good relationship.
“He said that he’s coming!” replied Mila as virtual-novel.net smiled sweetly.
“Wow! That’s great to hear! Since he’s personally coming over, I can only imagine the scene that will play out! Our boyfriends will also be coming to see us off then! Think you could use that opportunity to introduce virtual-novel.net to them, Mila?” asked Molly with a smile.
“Of course!”
As the three girls continued chatting happily among themselves, a sudden knock was heard on the door.
The moment the dormitory room door was opened, the girls saw that it was Narissa.
“I saw a few express delivery packages for you downstairs, so I’ve brought them up!” said Narissa as virtual-novel.net handed the three small packages over to them.
“Humph. Thanks, I guess!” replied Wanda with a cold sneer.
After all, everyone was pretty much still angry with virtual-novel.net for siding with Hallie to set Mila up back then.
Naturally, after hearing virtual-novel.net part of the story, Mila herself didn’t hold anything against her.
