The boy was dressed presentably in a suit and looked rather handsome.
Though Giya gave a slightly cold impression toward him, Yacob wasn’t angry at all.
“Oh, Giya! Your bracelet’s broken!” exclaimed Tammy. She had looked at the floor to see what had caused the shattering sound earlier and found that it was the bracelet.
“Gerald, how could you be so careless? Is it because you’re unhappy that Yacob’s here to be concerned about Giya?” asked another girl.
Her words caught Yacob’s attention.
Though the boy liked Giya to the point of infatuation, Giya wasn’t interested in Yacob at all.
Despite him having a very good family background, she still didn’t have any feelings for him. She knew what she liked, and she didn’t like him that way at all.
Naturally, it was impossible for her to have feelings for Gerald just because he saved her once.
Giya’s roommates knew this and they were simply just playing around with Gerald.
Everyone had clearly seen that it was indeed, Yacob who had yanked Gerald away earlier which caused him to accidentally drop the bracelet.
“It’s fine, it’s just a bracelet. I’ll just buy another one!”
Giya felt slightly embarrassed. After all, her friends were still making fun of Gerald now even though he was the one who had helped her.
“Yacob! You and Gerald are the reason the bracelet’s broken! Both of you will have to pay for it!” said Tammy.
The girls obviously had to speak a bit more respectfully toward Yacob.
“Heh, I’ll just buy a new one without his help. How could he possibly even afford to pay for half?”
Yacob scoffed as he looked at Gerald, displeasure clearly reflected in his eyes.
“Well, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be taking my leave first. Please, take care Giya!” said Gerald.
Gerald knew that he would continue to be teased as long as he stayed here. What more, Yacob was glaring daggers at him.
Gerald didn’t really want to hold it against the girls either.
If he really wanted their respect, all he needed to do was to drive his own car and park it in front of them.
After all, people just found him fun to bully because they all thought he was poor!
It was just a coincidence that Gerald had stumbled into Giya today, and he really didn’t want to get entangled within the situation.
