Jacelyn wanted to return Gerald all the humiliation he had made her suffer in the past.
Of course, Gerald simply ignored her as he continued eating his food.
Alice naturally noticed what Jacelyn had been doing.
In fact, Alice had already noticed that Gerald was here when she entered the cafeteria just now.
However, she simply glanced at Gerald before she looked away in a huff.
Speaking of how Alice had gotten acquainted with Silas, this also had something to do with Gerald.
Hadn’t Gerald dumped Alice in the small park the other day before he went to pursue Mila instead?
She had felt very ashamed and angry at that time, and she had happened to meet Silas by coincidence.
After Silas had added her as friends on WeChat, both of them had become good friends.
It was also precisely because she had met Silas that the damage to her self-esteem because of Gerald had completely disappeared.
Therefore, Alice did not feel the need for her to talk to Gerald anymore!
She could also find other boys who were a hundred times better than Gerald! Hmph!
“By the way, Mila, didn’t you say that you had something to tell me? What’s the matter?” Gerald withdrew his thoughts and asked Mila the question as he continued eating.
“Oh, yes. It is about me going to the Hong Kong Television Station for a three-month study plan. I will be leaving the day after tomorrow. I’ve already registered and would like to go there so that I can learn and study more. After that, I will come back to Mayberry City to look for a job internship!” Mila replied.
“Oh my! Why is it so sudden?” Gerald was taken aback.
“I received the notice this morning, and then, I began to proceed with the registration. After signing up, I’ve been attending the meeting for the whole day. The study period is for three months! I also want to stay in Mayberry City, but I do not want to constantly be living under my family and your shadow! I want to be able to prove myself!” Mila replied firmly.
Gerald was slightly dejected as he nodded. “It’s okay. We should be learning more since we are still young. It is not only you, but I will also have my own study plans.”
On the third day, Gerald sent Mila off on a plane.
After sending Mila off, Gerald calmed himself down completely. If he had nothing to do, he would learn about the relevant knowledge of economics and management or he would take a look at the development issues of Yorknorth Mountain.
Time flew by quickly, and soon, it had already been three days since Mila had left.
It was a Friday afternoon and Gerald was lying on his bed as he was playing with his cell phone as he was being idle. Harper suddenly came in and asked nervously, “Gerald, Gerald, have you seen Benjamin?”
“No. Didn’t you guys go to the internet café together?” Gerald thought that they would certainly be at the internet café at this time.
Over the past two days, something had not been right with Benjamin. He had been extremely depressed every day, however, he would not say anything at all when Gerald or the others asked him about it!
In short, a person who had always been very lively had suddenly become very weird.
When they were having lunch together at noon, Harper had asked Benjamin to go to an internet café with him to relieve some boredom.
However, he could not be found anywhere at all in the evening!
