Kaitlyn was shocked.
The vanity from her face was thoroughly washed away.
“Pfft! Why are you showing off when you have no money? Why bother ordering something that expensive?” mocked Kaitlyn.
The other two female colleagues who felt the burn also chimed in as they mocked the pair.
Gerald and Queta were really eating very well. Both of them ordered the expensive and large portion of foie gras, while the other four only ordered a small serving to share among themselves.
As the waiter served the dish to them, he could not help but give them a look.
Gerald chose to keep quiet because Queta kept persuading him, and she didn’t want him to confront them directly.
They simply continued chatting as they ate.
Once they were done eating, he then realized that Kaitlyn and the others had already left.
They obviously couldn’t take the humiliation, so they left in a hurry once they were done with their meals.
“Let’s leave too,” said Gerald while rubbing his belly.
He then ushered Queta out.
“By the way, Queta, where are the clothes that I bought you before? Why aren’t you wearing them?”
Gerald asked and smiled as he looked at Queta.
Back then, he bought a lot of clothes for her.
Queta blushed slightly, and she lowered her head as she said, “I feel a little embarrassed to wear such beautiful and nice clothes!”
Gerald couldn’t help but smile.
She was so similar to him. Back then, when he was poor, he felt that he only needed to wear clean clothes.
Gerald still chose to wear plain and ordinary clothes now because he wanted to maintain a low profile.
Whereas on the other hand, there was no reason for Queta to maintain a low profile.
“What are you afraid of? By the way, there is a branded shop here. Come! Let me bring you in to pick out some nicer clothes!”
“Huh? No, I don’t want to! It’s too expensive!”
Queta rejected, shaking her head.
“It’s okay. Let’s go in. I have a black card anyway!”
Gerald replied as he smiled.
He then gently pulled Queta into the shop.
“Grayson, I want this dress. It’s gorgeous. Do you think I’ll look good in it?”
Kaitlyn asked as she held a dress in front of her, gesturing for her boyfriend to comment.
