So, he wanted to leave.
“Why are you leaving? Don’t leave! After all, no matter what happened in the past, we’re at least acquaintances!”
Raquel grabbed Gerald by his collar.
More likely than not, Gerald had really turned into a pauper this time.
Hahaha! Raquel felt overjoyed and relieved to see him in such a pathetic state.
“Come! Come! I want all of you to take a good look at him! Let me introduce you to this young man, Mr. Gerald Crawford!”
Raquel said as she waved her hand at the employees working in the project department.
They were all sharply-dressed folks, with all of them sporting creaseless business suits.
They had obviously graduated from university not too long ago.
They covered their mouths as they giggled at Gerald.
“Oh my god! I would kill myself if I was forced to live like this!”
“That’s right! But isn’t he being really self-reliant? To think that he came out to look for a job for himself!”
However, as executives high up the pecking order, all of them obviously despised and looked down on Gerald.
“Don’t you look down on him! Have you any idea who he is? He used to be one of the ultra-rich, Mr. Crawford! He drove a luxury car that none of you will ever be able to afford in your lifetime!” said Raquel as she cackled away.
“Ahhh? Is that true? He was actually a rich man?”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. How impressive!”
“I wasn’t able to tell though!”
The girls said as they laughed.
“Gerald, we do not have any other intentions but seeing the state you’re in right now, I believe that you do not even have a girlfriend anymore, right? Why don’t I introduce a few girls in our company to you then? Who knows, maybe one of them would be interested in you? What about you girls? What do you think?”
“What do all of you think about Gerald? Anyone who is interested in becoming his girlfriend?”
“Hahaha! Why don’t you go?”
The girls started laughing amongst themselves as they pushed one of the girls forward.
The girl who got singled-out started to sound rather anxious, “Why don’t you girls go instead? God, I hate you people sometimes!”
