Gerald felt a slight pang of guilt. He felt sorry for Mila.
But on second thought, he knew that this was not for real. They were just going to meet each other for a while, and that was not a big deal.
On the other hand, in the room.
Michelle hung up the phone and began removing her makeup.
Her younger sister, Xabrina was eavesdropping on their conversation while lying on the bed.
She then chuckled. “Sister, so you’re going to meet each other tomorrow. By the way, what’s his name? Do you know him?”
“He’s Gerald Crawford. He studied in First Middle School before. Hmm… but why do I feel that his name is so strangely familiar? Seems like I’ve heard it somewhere before.” Michelle said as she continued removing her makeup.
Both sisters had quite a charm to themselves.
Xabrina scoffed and laughed, “Geez, how much dumber can you get? Sister, he’s one year younger than you, and he studied in First Middle School. You can simply just get somebody to inquire about him from your juniors in the school. Then you’ll know more about him, right?”
“You’re right. I’ll inquire about it then!” Michelle jumped up and immediately started making phone calls.
She called a few female juniors to inquire about Gerald.
The moment she was done, her face turned pale.
“D*mn it! How dare grandpa introduce such a person to me?” Michelle voiced out anxiously.
“Eh? Sister, what’s wrong?”
“Sister, you don’t know about this. Gerald is an infamous poor student back in First Middle School. His family is so poor, so much so that his parents and elder sister are out there doing manual labor. Besides, when he was studying in middle school, he was always bullied by the others. No wonder he couldn’t find a job even after he graduated from university. His family is so poor. Certainly he couldn’t find a good job!”
Michelle cried out.
“D*mn! What are you gonna do then? You’ve promised him. Besides, it’s not like you’re able to bypass grandpa either!”
Her sister replied, feeling equally exasperated.
“I don’t care. Even if I can’t find myself a boyfriend, I’ll definitely never get together with someone as such. Oh my goodness! If my classmates or best friends knew that I’m dating this infamous poor student, we would definitely be a laughing stock in no time!”
Michelle said in a worried tone.
