It was much better than telling Felicity that he was actually Ordinary Man.
But now wasn’t the time for that. Now was the time for Felicity to ask her fans to look for Giya.
After he descended the stairs, the other could see that Gerald clearly had something weighing on his mind.
As he paced around slowly, both Felicia and Quade followed closely behind him.
Felicia kept alternating between poking Quade and nudging her head toward Gerald’s back. It was clear that Quade wanted to say something to Gerald.
Quade, however, definitely looked like he didn’t dare to go up to Gerald.
“Quade, it’s really no big deal. Go ahead and talk to Gerald about it!” said Tammy as she sighed, looking at the two. She couldn’t bear seeing them act so sneakily behind Gerald anymore.
Gerald heard his name being called and he turned around. Behind him, he saw Felicia poking Quade while both of them stared back.
Gerald was slightly confused at the scene but he shook his head before looking at Quade and asking, “What’s the matter?”
Quade coughed while adjusting his glasses. “I need your help with something, but I’m not sure if you’ll be willing to lend a hand…”
Initially, Quade had looked down on Gerald but when he saw that he drove a Mercedes-Benz G-Class, he was shocked.
“Go on…”
“Well, my elder sister works in a leasing company. She needs to lease a Mercedes-Benz G-Class this month though she hasn’t had any luck getting her hands on one yet… If she fails to hit her target this month she might get fired. You may already have guessed by now, but could you please lease it to my sister’s company for three days? Just three days. My sister will definitely pay you the leasing fee!” said Quade.
Gerald understood Quade’s situation.
Some companies specialized in stuff like that. People would sign leases for cars for different reasons such as shooting for movies.
Once the lease was signed, if anything happened to the car, the leaser would not be held responsible for it. The leaser didn’t have to bother about all the expenses either. The car would just be leased for a few days and they could earn three thousand dollars without needing to do anything else.
“If that’s the case, sure. I’ll lease it to her,” said Gerald as he smiled faintly.
Gerald found no reason to decline. Quade had a hand in helping Gerald find Giya too after all.
What more, Gerald approved of him, seeing how much he cared for his sister. Gerald could understand his worries since he had a sister himself.
If Gerald’s sister was ever in any trouble, Gerald would rush over to help her without the slightest fear or hesitation.
