There were a lot of people who would call him up. Normally, Gerald would answer the call right away.
But he did not want to do so, seeing how anxious Jacob became.
By the way, Gerald had eaten twice with Mr. Raine before. They knew about each other well.
They did not have to be so civil toward each other.
“Why are you still filling in the form? Go and pick it up! Why is Mr. Raine calling you up? Faster pick it up!”
The call went dead.
Nobody answered the call for a long time, so it was hung up directly.
Jacob sneered. “Gerald, you’re indeed a dumb person! You deserve it for being…”
The phone rang again.
“Come! Faster pick up the phone!”
This time around, Jacob quickly snatched the pen in Gerald’s hand away directly.
He then helped Gerald to answer the phone and put it near his ear.
However, Gerald did not even stretch his hand out to take the phone from Jacob. He sat there just like that. On the other hand, Jacob leaned toward Gerald and held the phone in his hand, holding it near Gerald’s ear. That scene appeared rather hilarious.
But Jacob could not care less about other stuff for the sake of his future.
He did not care what business Mr. Raine had on his mind, calling Gerald up. He decided to greet Mr. Raine at the end of the call.
“Mr. Raine, hello!”
Gerald smiled slightly.
“Gerald, I called you just now. Why didn’t you pick it up? Are you busy?”
Bernard smiled and said.
Bernard had met Gerald a few times, and he had quite a good impression of Gerald.
The moment Gerald heard about the project of doing charity by establishing Scothow Elementary School, he promised to take the whole project over without any hesitation. He even provided the funds immediately.
Besides, a rich youth like him was such a friendly and humble person. Bernard soon got quite close to him.
“Hmm, I was busy filling in the drop out application from just now. The department director has prohibited me from studying here from now on! By the way, Mr. Raine, what’s the matter?”
Gerald smiled. He thought that it was a call from Zack, but he never thought that it was Mr. Raine after all.
“You…”
