Despite being a bustling city, the ten luxury cars parked in front of the ever-busy Salford High Rail Station were still particularly eye-catching.
At that moment, the rail finally arrived at the station.
Standing up, Gerald stretched slightly before getting off the rail together with Queta and Finnley.
When he passed by Maia and her group of friends, however, he simply walked past them without greeting them at all.
“Humph! Just look at that behavior! Who wants to bother about him anyway?”
‘How dare he not take the initiative to greet me?’ Maia thought to herself. She had never expected Gerald to end up becoming such a stubborn man.
It was evident that Maia had a superiority complex.
‘If you had only greeted me, I would’ve refrained from bothering you. However, for a person like you to ignore me, your actions are similar to destroying a beautiful object! How humiliating and upsetting!’
However, she would let it slide this time. After that, she too got off the rail together with her group.
“Didn’t you say that someone was going to pick us up once we arrived at the station, Warren?” asked Maia as a few of her friends started looking around.
Just as she asked that, the sound of a car honking could be heard. Seconds later, a large Land Rover drove over and stopped in front of the group.
The driver reeled his car window down and the group soon saw the young and handsome man driving it.
“Over here, Warren!” said the man.
“Jamier!” replied Warren while slightly waving his hand.
“Wow! It’s a Land Rover! What does your friend do for a living, Warren?” asked a few girls who were standing beside him.
“Ah, well, he used to be my classmate in the police academy. After he graduated, however, he didn’t become a police officer. That’s because his father had called him home so that he could inherit their family’s company!” answered Warren with a chuckle.
Seeing that even Maia’s classmates had arrived in a luxury car to fetch her, the two girls standing beside her became quite jealous.
After all, neither of them had that many classmates or friends to boast about. Even if they once had any, they had long ceased contact with them.
The greeting and introduction session then resumed, this time with two extra faces.
Since they were all successful people, they shared a lot of similar thoughts and perceptions.
“We haven’t met each other in so many years, Maia! I’ve missed you terribly! This is the perfect time for us to get together again!” said Vincy as she held on to both of Maia’s hands enthusiastically. Vincy herself looked quite charming.
All of a sudden, Vincy lifted her head as she stared behind Maia, looking quite stunned.
“…Huh? Isn’t that… Could that really be Gerald?” said Vincy as she observed Gerald and his odd group walking out of the station together while carrying their luggage bags.
“Humph! It’s him alright!” replied Maia.
