Gerald did not answer and kept staring out the window.
“Watch your behavior!” Cassandra snorted before she finally stopped talking and focused on driving.
Cassandra was dressed attractively and provocatively today. In fact, this was Gerald’s first time being in such close proximity to her. He could smell her fragrance, and he would be lying if he said that this woman wasn’t attractive.
As Gerald was deep in his own thoughts, they had already arrived at the Mayberry commercial street’s new bar entrance.
Luxury cars large and small were parked in front of its entrance, and many people were walking in and out.
Gerald could also see that Flynn had sent the flower stand by the bar’s entrance. Whether he wanted it or not, he had to show some respect anyhow, since they were about to be working on the same street.
Even Michael, their new boss, had also sent them a flower stand as a blessing.
It was apparent the new bar’s owner must have very good and powerful connections too.
“Cassandra, why have you just gotten here? I have been waiting for you!”
A pair that held hands emerged from the crowd of people as they came over to greet Cassandra.
“I’m sorry! I’m a little late, thanks to those jams. Congratulations, Qassie! I hope that your business will keep prospering!” said Cassandra to the woman who was obviously the wife of the bar owner.
“Hahaha. I am just happy that you can make it here today. By the way, did you bring someone to help me out?”
“Yes, I did. He’s right here!”
The two continued their chat.
Gerald was bored, looking at the flower stands to see if there were any names he recognized.
Cassandra suddenly dragged Gerald over to Qassie.
“The lady boss is calling you.”
“Oh! Oh! Hello! I’m Gerald.”
Gerald reacted quickly, subconsciously extending his hand for a handshake.
Things had started to become awkward.
Qassie and her lover stared at Gerald’s hand with stiff expressions on their faces.
