Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 21
Gerald got out of bed before he rushed into the bathroom to answer the call.
“Good morning, Mr. Crawford!” Zack greeted Gerald respectfully.
“My. Lyle, thank you for calling today. I’d like to ask you something…” Gerald asked as he smiled.
“Mr. Crawford, please let me know what you’d like me to do. You can just give me your instructions and I’ll get it done immediately!”
Gerald told Zack all about the money that he had spent at Homeland Kitchen last night.
“Oh! Is that so? Mr. Crawford, I don’t think you spent ten thousand dollars anyway. After all, the high-end red wine that you ordered last night, which cost you nine thousand dollars, is actually produced by the Crawford family abroad. Therefore, the cost of the red wine was only a few hundred dollars. Hahaha…”
Zack smiled. To be honest, it was really a shame that Gerald had only spent so little money just like that. However, Gerald was already showing progress in the task that Jessica had already entrusted him to do.
“Mr. Crawford, what can I do for you? Do you want me to refund you the twenty thousand dollars? I’ll get to work as soon as you give me the order to do so…”
Zack listened as he said again, “Ahem. Forget it. After all, the money is also going back into my own business.”
Initially, Gerald was planning to get his money back.
However, after listening to Zack’s tone, he felt that it would be really embarrassing if he asked him to transfer that money back to him.
Moreover, he would also feel a little embarrassed if he asked Zack to do that.
Anyway, the money that his sister had given to him came from all these industries and businesses that they owned.
“By the way, is there a reason for you calling me today, Mr. Lyle?” Gerald asked immediately.
“Yes, there’s something I’d like to tell you. After finding out that your poverty-stricken days are over, the bosses of most of the major businesses on Mayberry Commercial Street would like to hold a special banquet as a celebration for you. I was just wondering if you’d have the time to attend the banquet since it is a Saturday,” Zack said in a soft tone.
Initially, Gerald had planned to go out to relax.
However, since everyone had specially put together a special reception for him, he did not want to let them down. Moreover, Gerald really wanted to get acquainted with more people. Otherwise, he would always look like a pauper and a fool.
Therefore, Gerald immediately agreed to attend the banquet.
In order to express the grandeur of the banquet, they had chosen for the banquet to be held at an exceptional and five star luxurious hotel instead of holding the banquet at one of the establishments on Mayberry Commercial Street.
It was a really luxurious restaurant!
After talking to Harper and his other roommates, Gerald went downstairs as he prepared to head out of the campus. As he was passing by the girls’ dormitory, he looked up and he saw a person walking out of the girls’ dormitory.
It was none other than Xavia.
“Huh? Why is she back at the dormitory?”
Gerald originally thought that Xavia would be spending the night out with Yuri after he rescued her from the restaurant.
In fact, Gerald was feeling a little distressed because of that.
