The rich folks then hastily, but excitedly rushed forwards to welcome the newly-arrived guest.
“D*mn! Why is there an electric tricycle parked at the entrance? What are you doing? Get lost kid!”
The security guard came over and shoved Gerald aside forcefully.
“Oh God, how embarrassing!”
Feeling humiliated, Xyla covered her eyes.
“If there’s anything you’d like to say, say it nicely. Why did you push me around? I’ll leave now, alright!?”
Gerald stepped on the gas pedal and left.
After the convoy rolled to a stop, a couple of middle-aged businessmen got out of the vehicles. There were their rich daughters and sons too. It quickly became clear that these were their most distinguished guests today.
The other presidents lined up to welcome them. Pleasantries and greetings were exchanged.
“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for giving me the honor to attend the party this time around. But it’s a slight misfortune that we failed to invite a very distinguished guest today. We cannot express how regretful we are in relation to this situation!”
All of them stood along the side of the red carpet and listened to the president who appeared to be the organizer as he spoke.
There was a lot of discussion going on among the crowd. “Who is that?”
“Who’s that big shot? Chairman Gordon!”
The others asked.
Vincy had already been led into the hall of the hotel by Xyla.
At that moment, they looked at Chairman Gordon, who was standing on the stage.
Subconsciously, fear had started taking hold of her heart.
She was slightly anxious as she tugged at her boyfriend—Leon’s arm, who was standing next to her. “Leon, who is the guy that he said he wanted to invite?”
“How would I know? Didn’t you see how clueless we all were?”
Leon was not being nice. After all, his father had already been informed of the mess which Xyla had stirred up.
Xyla felt bad for it, so she shut her mouth up immediately.
Prior to that accident, she was excited to be able to attend such a grand occasion. She thought that she’d get to know lots of rich people.
But deep down, she was feeling slightly insecure about herself.
It was because Gerald seemed to have answered a call just now, and the one who called him was also a person named “Chairman Gordon”.
She wondered if it was the same person.
But the more she thought about it, the less plausible it became.
Who was Gerald? At most, the only explanation she could come up with was that his childhood friend had introduced him to Chairman Gordon. Without that friend, he was just another nobody!
