Slumdog Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 35

Chapter 35 Even You Want to Abandon Me?

On the other side, in a slightly strange atmosphere, the dinner slowly came to an end.

On the table, Audrey and Hazel looked curiously at Gerald. The appearance of Valery made Gerald even more mysterious in their hearts.

Audrey wondered if Gerald had found a doctor for her father and saved him.

But Hazel thought Gerald was too strange. Gerald had been cowardly before, but he had acted tough in the cybercafe just now when he had been in trouble.

He had just divorced and was living with an extremely beautiful doctor.

He was simply too odd.

Henley lowered his head. Although the meal was delicious, he still had no appetite.

Henley failed to persuade Kaven, but Gerald succeeded. Henley was quite unhappy, but Doreen and Penny were quiet and ate in small mouthfuls.

In the strange atmosphere, the dishes on the table were rapidly decreasing!

Finally, Henley felt it was time for him to show off. He waved his hand and said, “Can we have the check, please?” Audrey quickly said, “Henley, you came to Los Angeles for me. How can you pay? Let me do it!”

“How can I ask a lady to pay? We guys will split the bill!” he smiled at Gerald and said, “I am not wrong, right,

Gerald?”

When Henley had just arrived, he had heard Audrey say that although Kaven did not cook much because of his hand injury, the price was actually quite high. A meal cooked by Kaven would cost at least 500 dollars per person. So, this meal would cost over 1,600 dollars.

This price was not much different from the top floor of the Marriott Hotel.

Of course, the taste was definitely worth the price.

But Henley knew Gerald’s salary was not high, so this was quite a big sum of money for Gerald.

Gerald curled his lips and ignored Henley.

When Henley noticed Gerald’s silence, he became more arrogant. Henley smiled, “Oh, my bad. I forgot you were no longer a member of the Kenneth family. Now you are working at the construction site. It is a bit difficult for you to pay half of the bill. I will pay for this meal!”

As he spoke, he looked at Gerald and said, “Come to think of it, Gerald, the construction job must be tiring for you. Why don’t I introduce you to a new job? You can go back to Sacramento with us. Our family has clout in Sacramento, so it is not a problem to give you a new job!

“But because you went to jail, I can’t give you a decent job.” Henley smiled and said, “How about you working at my company as a security guard or a cleaner? Of course, the salary will be higher than your current job. It’s 3,200 dollars a month. It should be a lot higher than your salary at the construction site!”

Henley’s words made the others frown slightly.

No matter what, Gerald worked hard to get this meal.

They all knew Henley said that only to humiliate Gerald, and Gerald could not work at his company.

Gerald looked up at Henley and said indifferently, “Did I ever say I wanted you to give me a new job?”

Henley frowned and said, “I was just being kind. Since you are not willing to accept it, then forget it. Waiter, I want to pay the bill. How much is it?”

At this time, Hamish walked out and said politely to Gerald, “Mr. Dirden wanted to express his gratitude for your help. So, this meal will be free. In the future, if you want to eat here, you won’t ever have to pay.”

Hearing that, Audrey and Hazel both revealed looks of envy.

Audrey quickly said, “Gerald, you must bring me with you next time you come.”

Gerald smiled, stood up, and said, “Then I will thank you and Mr. Dirden.”

After exchanging a few words of courtesy, the group of people walked out of the alley. Audrey asked, “We plan to go to Fragrance Mountain. Do you want to come with us?”

Fragrance Mountain was another tourist attraction in Los Angeles.
