Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 381
“Sir Herring Jenkins is the head of the county. Who on earth could make him wait at the bus station?”
Montana could not mask her surprise.
Was it that rich dude from the city?
No way. Why would someone as rich as him come here by bus?
“Wait here; I’ll go say hi!”
Montana’s boyfriend straightened his suit and tidied up his hair.
He was ready to go over.
“But Jonathan, will this work? Will Mr. Jenkins pay any attention to you?”
Montana couldn’t help but worry.
“I guess so. After all, he knows my dad too, and I’ve had dinner with him twice.”
Jonathan reassured Montana and headed over to the other side.
Montana, however, didn’t dare go with him. The other side was filled with big shots, and several heads of the Ministry of Education were also present.
As a fellow staff member, of course, Montana didn’t possess the courage to approach them.
As for Jonathan, he went and came back quickly.
While there, he looked very proud, thinking that he had a chance to stand out among the crowd if he just greeted everyone.
But when he came back, he was dejected and his face the color of an eggplant.
“Huh? What happened, Jonathan? Did the mayor ignore you? Ugh, I told you so didn’t I? better not go over where all the big shots are!”
“Mmhmm, it seems like the mayor and the others are indeed waiting for someone’s arrival, someone important. I heard them talking about a Mr. Crawford, the one about to bring a massive change to the entire Serene Town! He’s a big boss, but something isn’t right. If it really is Mr. Crawford, why would he come here by bus?”
Jonathan was confused.
“Hmm, the mayor probably did not tell you the truth. Let’s go now. The few heads from the Ministry of Education are also there,” said Montana in a hurry.
Jonathan simply nodded.
He hoped that Mr. Crawford could speed up his journey as well.
Gerald had been following from behind and heard them mentioning his name. Could they have come here to pick him up, he thought to himself.
But he had already told Zack Lyle not to turn his arrival into some grand event. He simply wanted to return home and get his own stuff sorted out, and he wanted to stay out of it.
Right now, though, it was a bad time for Gerald to go over and ask them.
