Thus, instead of continuing to act presumptuously, she smiled brightly before saying, “Beautiful young lady, please don’t get me wrong, but this young man here is just a handyman who does odd jobs for us!”
“A handyman? Are you even that worthy? What exactly is going on here, Gerald?” asked Mindy in a puzzled tone.
She knew for a fact that he was a dignified, rich heir so why would he even need to serve and do odd jobs for these minor celebrities?
“I’ll… Explain everything to you in the future! For now, I really need to use the bathroom so I’ll be taking my leave first!”
Gerald could feel like his head was going to explode! If he kept dallying here then Xara’s plan was definitely going to fail because of him!
“Stop right there!” shouted both Mindy and the celebrity in unison.
Mindy could tell that Gerald was hiding something from her and she wasn’t the kind of person who liked being kept in the dark. The more he wanted to leave, the more she refused to let him go.
The celebrity herself wanted to personally deal with Gerald. However, now that she knew that Mindy was a Fenderson, she was simultaneously trying to please her so that there could possibly be a chance for her to get into Mindy’s good books.
Realizing that Mindy also seemed to have some sort of misunderstanding with Gerald, the celebrity knew she didn’t need to worry about shouting for him not to leave.
The celebrity’s friends seemed to have caught on as well, and all of them hurriedly ran over to block Gerald’s path.
“This is the Fenderson family mansion, Gerald. Where do you even think you’ll be able to escape? Now hurry up and tell me the truth! What exactly is going on here? How are you both a rich heir and a handyman at the same time? If you refuse to tell me what’s going on then I’ll call Jasmine over!” said Mindy strictly as she grabbed him by the collar. It was clear that she had no intention of hearing any more of his excuses.
While Gerald could easily get rid of these girls if he truly wanted to, he knew that fighting back now would only make matters worse. The only thing he could do now was try to delay things so that he could buy more time.
“Indeed! I feel that he’s being very dishonest! Something’s definitely up with him and we can’t just let him leave!” said Loraine, the leader of the celebrities.
