Chapter 58 You Are Crazy
Audrey was at her office at Forever Group, pissed off. “Gerald has no manners at all. It’s already past 10, and he is still not here. He doesn’t want this job!”
As she gathered up the files, Audrey complained, “Humph, I thought about taking him to Sacramento. Now that he is late, I will rule out that possibility.”
With that, she slumped into the sofa. “But he has a Diamond Card from New Bank. He seems richer than me and doesn’t care about the job at all.”
The thought made her irritated.
The door was pushed open. Then, Bradley came in, looked at her with a smile, and said, “Are you mad at Gerald because he doesn’t come? Do you have a crush on Gerald?”
Audrey froze. The next moment, her face turned red as she said in a sweet voice, “Dad, don’t be ridiculous!”
“You will get married one day. Gerald is a good man. If you are interested in him, be more proactive. If a woman chases a man, the chances of them going into a relationship are much higher. Plus, you are so beautiful. Gerald will fall for you,” Bradley said.
“I’m not talking to you.” Audrey turned around, blushing.
“Alright, no more jokes. How is the handover?” Bradley asked.
“It’s almost done.” Audrey nodded.
Bradley pondered, walked to Audrey, and said, “When you attend Doreen’s engagement, stay away from their entanglements and the struggle between the wealthy families in Sacramento. Do you understand?”
“I know. You have been nagging at me for the past few days.” Audrey pouted.
Bradley said, “Another thing is about Gerald. Don’t pry into his business. As you can see, Gerald is rather low–key. He hates unwanted attention and doesn’t want others to know about what he did in Los Angeles. When you are in Sacramento, don’t tell anyone, including Doreen.”
“Come on. I won’t be bothered. Plus, he has a bad reputation in Sacramento. If I say that he is my assistant, I will probably be looked down upon,” Audrey said.
“Okay. Be safe on the way,” Bradley urged.
“I know, I know. I’m leaving. Hazel and Keira are waiting for me downstairs,” Audrey said.
Gerald appeared on the sixth floor of Glory World.
The security guard at the entrance greeted him politely, “Boss!”
Gerald nodded at him before walking into the company. He went straight to the general manager’s office.
He knocked on the door and pushed it open. Tyrone was in there, pacing back and forth.
Gerald asked, “What’s wrong?”
Tyrone said, letting out a breath, “Two things. First, your mother–in–law has made quite a scene in the company. I asked the security guards to send her away, but today she came again with a lawyer!”
Gerald was lost for words. Mary was so stubborn.
Gerald knew that Trevon would talk about what happened in the company at home. But Gerald didn’t think it was a big deal as he was not affected.
To his surprise, Mary was so shameless that she hired a lawyer to divide the shares of Glory World.
In fact, Gerald would have given them shares if they hadn’t done so many bad things to him and forced him into a dead end in divorce.
He would have been willing to give Glory World to them.
Gerald was never stingy.
However, Mary and her daughter were way out of line. He didn’t think it was worthwhile to give the company to them.
