Gerald previously drove a Mercedes-Benz G500 at the hospital, and he even knew the county’s leader. It really surprised Xella.
Frankly, Gerald was quite charismatic that day.
That said, regardless of circumstance, Gerald was still inferior compared to Waylon and Jacky, who were standing next to her.
Waylon’s family owned a huge empire. He had also started his own company and became a boss at such a young age.
Although Waylon didn’t drive a car as posh as Gerald’s Mercedes Benz G500, he had higher prospects compared to Gerald.
As for Jacky, Xella suspected that he was the one who helped her the last time as the deputy manager of the personnel department.
He was a large organization manager, and he had very high standards in the public institution. He was also rewarded with a very high bonus and dividend at the end of the year.
Plus, Jacky also owned a business.
He was a handsome, eligible white-collar worker.
What about Gerald? What else did he have?
Although Gerald was one of the more capable ones from their class, Xella no longer had the kind of affection that she felt for him during high school.
“Yes, I know them! How unexpected that the guests’ Aunt Lacy invited for lunch today are you guys! Such a coincidence!” replied Gerald as he nodded.
Although some of them weren’t fans of Gerald, they all sat at the same dinner table, eating, drinking, and chatting with each other.
Gerald, who was sitting at the side, could sense that something was different this time.
It seemed as though Waylon and Xella were no longer as close as how they used to be.
To further explain, back then, Xella used to be really attached to Waylon, and Waylon had always been interested in Xella too.
But strangely, at lunch today, most of Xella’s attention was focused on Jacky.
Waylon would sometimes throw a cold stare at Gerald before stealing glances at Jacky, envy dripping all over his face.
It was apparent that he didn’t look happy, but not to the point of being too upset.
Cindy’s appearance really brightened up his day.
She was as gorgeous as Xella, but with a bonus look of innocence on her—pure and delicate.
Despite his jealousy toward Jacky, Waylon had put in a conscious effort to show his affection and favor to Cindy.
Milo was also captivated by Cindy’s beauty and tried to make moves too. But upon seeing the look on Waylon’s face, Milo quickly held back all of his advances.
