The others started to discuss ceaselessly.
“Mr. Crawford, you must’ve been so busy that you’ve forgotten about it. You might have forgotten about me. You don’t know me, but I know you. Haha! Here is my name card.”
Chairman Gordon smiled happily and said.
Before this, it would’ve been impossible for him to have any kind of contact with Mr. Crawford. But he was the host of this event today, so the tables have turned in his favor. Surprisingly, Mr. Crawford chose to attend this event of his without prior notification.
Gerald took the name card and glanced at it. Chairman Gordon was involved in the development of real estate.
He found the name of Chairman Gordon’s company rather familiar.
“Mr. Crawford, we met each other during Miss Larson’s birthday party the other day. We attended that party too. We gained three projects in the development of Serene County as a result! Haha!”
Chairman Gordon said.
“Oh! I remember you now. Chairman Gordon, nice to meet you.”
Gerald still did not remember who he was. But it would have been rather awkward if they continued to dwell on that issue.
Hence, he started putting up an act.
“Mr. Crawford, let me give you a toast!”
“Mr. Crawford, let me give you a toast too!”
At that moment, the chairmen raised their wine glasses to give Gerald a toast.
After Gerald took a sip of his drink, Chairman Gordon invited Gerald to take the front seat, but no matter how they persuaded him, he didn’t seem like he was interested.
Gerald claimed that it was fine sitting at his current spot.
Seeing how reluctant Gerald was about switching tables, Chairman Gordon found it a pity, but he did not continue to persuade Gerald.
Gerald then asked Chairman Gordon to go ahead with his business. They could interact with each other later if there was anything else.
Chairman Gordon agreed to his suggestion in less than a second.
After clinking glasses with Gerald one last time, they left.
Xyla was stupefied when she saw that.
“How is this even possible? Why does Chairman Gordon know Gerald? And why is he so respectful of him?”
Xyla wanted to make use of such a grand occasion to humiliate Gerald that day.
She wanted to take revenge on Gerald for humiliating her in the past.
But now, Xyla became the one who was humiliated.
The more she yearned to take revenge on Gerald, the more humiliated she felt.
