“Whoa, Madam Lewis, is this one of your students? He looks pretty good… hey, why isn’t he in a uniform?” said a woman next to Montana.
“Yeah, look, all the waiters here are in their uniforms, and he’s the only one not wearing it!”
“I guess he must be the handyman then. He’ll work wherever there’s work to be done, so he should be a temporary worker.”
Montana tried to find a reasonable explanation.
“Haha yeah, come here, little guy, come to my side. There’s an empty seat beside me. Come sit and have a chat!”
“Yeah, little cutie, don’t be shy! It’s a rare chance to dine among so many rich and young CEO today, so you’ve got to appreciate your time here!”
In their late twenties, a few women saw how Gerald looked quite handsome and cute, and they tried to tease him.
Montana rolled her eyes.
“What are you staring at? Can’t you see that they’ve asked you to sit down?! Are you that dumb? Four years of college for nothing!”
In the end, Gerald could not resist the invitation.
He was feeling good tonight, so he chose to sit with them for a little while. He would then cross over to Zack’s table once he spotted him.
Still, he was a little annoyed, mostly because Montana had been incessantly abusing him with insults.
Why?
For the sake of their teacher-student relationship, Gerald did everything that she asked had him to do, yet he didn’t even get a single thank you.
Now, she had been mocking him ever since they stepped into the place.
Gerald was supposed to attend the welcoming party. Instead, he became the ladies’ laughing stock.
He preferred to remain low-profile, but it certainly didn’t mean he was easy to be made fun of.
Unperturbed, he sat down immediately.
“Hmph, you really are pathetic and gullible, aren’t you? I can’t believe you sat down after being told to do so!”
Once again, Montana rudely jeered at Gerald.
It made the women giggle in glee.
These ladies were the wealthy spouses of Serene Town’s business elite, their husbands’ moguls involved in Mayberry’s top corporations.
Montana, on the other hand, was just a substitute teacher.
As a result, she endlessly flattered them on some occasions, hoping she could tag along too.
