This was especially so for Xella, who was now looking at Gerald with a completely different expression on her face.
She had used to think that Gerald only had personal connections with average statused people. To think that he knew such a powerful and reputable individual as Jaxon!
What more, Jaxon had even taught the people who were planning to beat Gerald up a lesson. He didn’t give them any face at all!
“What a great coincidence! If it weren’t for you, I would already have been beaten up!” said Gerald with a wry smile on his face.
He had seen through Waylon’s act. If his guess was correct, then everything that had happened was orchestrated by Waylon. That was probably also the reason why both Waylon and Milo were laughing between themselves earlier.
Jaxon simply bowed slightly at Gerald’s comment.
What an awkward meal today… Gerald himself already felt full.
As for Francesca, after seeing Waylon getting beaten like that, she didn’t have the mood to continue eating anymore. With that, she decided to settle the bill first.
“Ah, Mr. Sanders, are you acquainted with Gerald? I’m the deputy director of X Bank. You seem like quite the capable man! Please don’t hesitate to contact me if any of your groups wish to use our bank for your funding and capital flow!”
Francesca wasn’t going to let the chance to befriend Jaxon slip away that easily.
After all, she knew that Jaxon had the capability to make smaller subordinate companies use X Bank for their cash flow.
Instead of discussing the matter with Francesca, he simply looked at Gerald to see his response.
Gerald simply nodded.
If Francesca hadn’t invited him to join them for lunch today, she may have been able to get through with her business negotiations with ease. Since her initial plan was disrupted because of him, Gerald thought that it would only be fair for him to help her out this time. This was the only reason why he agreed to it.
