‘Regardless, it seems that Gerald is doing quite well. After all, instead of taking the normal train, he chose to take the rail instead!’
After the simple greeting, the two of them chatted for a while longer before Maia eventually stopped talking to him.
While Gerald was simply trying to be nice to her, she didn’t seem to want to bother about him at all.
Gerald was fine with that, and he simply did the same.
After all, though it seemed like Maia was heading to the Salford Province to undergo some secret mission, Gerald wasn’t interested in it in the least.
Meanwhile, Queta had just finished cutting up another fruit. She could see that Gerald and Maia seemed to know each other. What more, she was sitting just opposite them.
Sensing the opportunity, Queta smiled as she asked Maia in a kind and warm tone, “I’ve just cut up a fruit, Miss. Would you like some?”
“Thanks, but I don’t eat fruits!” declined Maia casually.
To her, Gerald was still as lowly as ever. She naturally didn’t need to show any of his friends any respect either.
It was similar to a scenario where a circle of friends would completely ignore a single person, simply because everyone else there looked down on them as well.
Since Gerald was the person her group looked down upon, any friend of his would definitely be treated the same way.
On the contrary, if the person was quite powerful within the circle of friends, any friends they introduced would definitely be respected and favored upon by the others.
Queta’s initial intention was to make Gerald seem more respectful in front of his friends. Unexpectedly, the beautiful lady seemed to dislike her right off the bat.
After hearing her reply, Queta simply blushed before retracting her hand, feeling slightly bitter.
“Maia, I’ve brought along some tangerines over. They’re from my hometown relatives and they’re quite sweet! Here, let me peel one for you!” said Warren as he smiled at her.
While it was common for others to try pleasing them, given their high statuses, they weren’t going to just give random people a chance to please them. That would clearly be giving them too much respect.
After hearing Warren’s offer, Maia immediately nodded slightly.
