Everyone was now staring at Gerald, waiting for a response.
It would seem that being able to even stand next to Gerald would help heighten your status. Sharon stared at him, blankly. Still being doused in mixed emotions, she fell silent once again.
“Okay, have fun then! I still have some matters to tend to, so I have to go now!” Gerald smiled.
Without hesitation, he then exited the lobby immediately.
Sharon was mildly annoyed when she saw Gerald taking off. He didn’t even glance in her direction. Dismayed, she felt like she could hear the sound of her heart-shattering.
As Gerald left the lobby, he slowly walked towards the road and decided to call a taxi.
However, another voice called out to him. “Gerald? Are you waiting for the bus?
A Camry then stopped in front of him, with its windows down. It was Bianca, and next to her was Ava. And for the driver, it was a dashing man who looked like he was of the same age as Gerald.
Gerald then remembered that Bianca had wanted to treat him to dinner, but Ava insisted that she followed along. Ava, on the other hand, did not want to invite Gerald along, which was why he ended up at the real estate center. It appeared they had just finished dinner.
“I’m on my way home!” Gerald replied.
He peeked at Ava, who seemed to be occupied with her phone. She pretended as if she didn’t see him. Gerald didn’t want to greet her, as she was the one who didn’t like to acknowledge him in the first place.
“Oh, okay. Sorry again for today. Let’s set up a time tomorrow; I’ll treat you to something nice!” Bianca smiled apologetically.
However, the dinner didn’t go as well as they had planned, and his advances were rather weak.
Bianca had only responded to him dismissively, which was why he seemed slightly irritated.
