“Gerald, did you come here to have lunch?” Morgana enquired, with no small amount of disbelief.At the table sat Morgana, her boyfriend, Cameron, and several others. Everyone was smiling his way.Mead Hall was unmistakably an upper-crust establishment, and you paid by the head here, from a starting minimum of thirty dollars per pax. After accounting for drinks and so on, each meal could easily cost hundreds.Everyone knew Gerald wasn’t rich, so this was a fairly peculiar circumstance.Gerald smiled back at them. “That’s right! I’m meeting with some friends, and I thought I’d treat them all to lunch here! Who would have thought I’d run into you guys here, too!”“Pfft! We eat here all the time!”“Ah, Gerald… It’s nice that you’re treating your friends to something, but do you know they charge at least thirty dollars per person here? Are you sure this is a good idea?” This was coming from a girl seated beside Morgana, who had also gone to the same high school with them.Sully was h

“Hmph! Gerald, don’t you even know how to wait for us outside once you’ve got a table?” When Tammy reached him, Giya was by her side. The first thing that spewed out of her mouth was abuse.Gerald put down his phone and smiled faintly. He’d been preoccupied with reading investment reports coming in from Zack Lyle.Meanwhile, Sully and the others were staring as though their eyes might pop out of their sockets. “What? What! These are the friends Gerald was going on about?”Cameron still stood there, phone in hand, his face now turning blue.They ignored him, but yet, they were so friendly to Gerald? Blast! It was indeed a vicious slap across the face!“Huh? Gerald, happen to know those people at the next table?” Giya had taken a seat beside him, and she now wondered why everyone at the adjacent table seemed to be gawking strangely in his direction.“Hey, hey! Gerald, why don’t you introduce your friends to us? When I went up to welcome them, those ladies just brushed me off, you

“Mr. Lourdes…” Cameron murmured. He suddenly felt silly for waving his watch around earlier. He stood at attention, much like a misbehaving student before the discipline teacher.“Cameron, which Mr. Lourdes did you mean?” the girl beside him wondered aloud.“Who else could I have meant? Louie Lourdes, scion, and heir to the Lourdes family mining conglomerate! The big kahunas!”“So, it’s that guy!”“I didn’t know he was that handsome in person!” Morgana, Sully, and the other girls gazed with ardent admiration at the legendary character.The guys, meanwhile, seemed afraid even to breathe too loudly.Not mentioning the cashier, who was already on her feet, displaying the most professional smile she could muster.Louie had a handful of people with him, not even bothering to look at Gerald or his guests as he cut in front of them.“My bill!” Louie barked.The cashier’s smile didn’t falter. “Of course, Mr. Lourdes. Your bill this time comes up to one thousand, two hundred dollars.

The little cousin’s surprise turned into a sneer. “Who is this ‘most beloved’ Mila? Doesn’t he like you most Giya? Let’s see who she is!” Giya couldn’t react fast enough and before she could stop her, the little cousin had already answered Mila’s call. “Hello? Who is this?” asked the little cousin. “What? You’re definitely not Gerald’s girlfriend. Stop spouting nonsense!” Even though she said that, the little cousin was stunned. She then looked toward Giya before saying, “Giya! This girl’s saying that she’s Gerald’s girlfriend!” “That’s quite enough, Felicia! Hand me the phone immediately!” Giya then snatched the phone from her and hung up immediately. Giya, for one, definitely knew who Mila was. She was Gerald’s girlfriend who was in a long-distance relationship with him. However, that was all Giya knew about Mila. She had been quite curious about what Mila was like in person ever since she knew about her existence. Still, it would be inappropriate for her to say a

It was a call from Morgana. She told him that the gathering for high school friends was going to be held that afternoon. Morgana had simply called to remind him about the event and to tell him to be there early. It had been three days since Gerald had last eaten a meal at Mead Hall. So Giya had been gone for three days now. Morgana had elaborated on the event the day before. Soon, many of their classmates would start their internships or work. Therefore, the gathering was planned for old friends to catch up with one another while they were still here. At first, Gerald had not wanted to participate. However, Gerald had attended an opening ceremony for a newly invested company the day before. As he was about to leave, he bumped into Morgana and a few others who had gone to the carnival to have some fun. Tagging along with Morgana was another female high school friend by the name of Xella Jaquin. She was their assistant monitor back then and she was definitely one of the
