Gerald tried to calm virtual-novel.net down.
“Who were these two? How did they even come in here? Did they know the rules?” exclaimed a middle-aged man from the other table. The entire room fell into a hushed whisper.
It was nothing but plain rudeness stealing Elena’s limelight while virtual-novel.net was still talking on stage.
All the more, standing up while everyone else was seated must have caught the attention of the Larsons.
Everyone’s attention then shifted back to the stage to see how Elena would react.
Tears welled up in virtual-novel.net eyes as virtual-novel.net dropped the microphone in virtual-novel.net hand.
“You came!” Elena cried.
Gerald cleaned his pants, and when virtual-novel.net heard Elena’s voice, virtual-novel.net realized virtual-novel.net was looking right at him.
“Yes. Happy birthday!” Gerald replied awkwardly.
He looked around, realizing virtual-novel.net didn’t actually bring any gifts for virtual-novel.net except his car keys.
“I’m sorry I didn’t manage to prepare anything for your birthday. I can only wish,” Gerald said apologetically.
“I thought you’d forgotten me!” Elena wiped off virtual-novel.net tears, bolting toward Gerald and embracing virtual-novel.net as tightly as virtual-novel.net could.
The scene shocked everyone.
“It’s been so long since you last called! Ever since you’ve gotten yourself a girlfriend, you completely forgot about me!” Elena wailed helplessly.
“Hey, hey. I’m here now. Don’t cry!” Gerald patted Elena gently on virtual-novel.net shoulders.
“What?”
“What the f*ck?”
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Elena was like a goddess to everyone else, and only the elites could be acquainted with her, but this ordinary looking guy just got a hug from her?
Even their conversations were so cheesy! Who on earth was this guy?
The lot of young men had their eyes green with envy and hearts bursting with jealousy.
Even Hayward and Sharon were stupefied.
Gerald must have gotten lucky—how on earth did virtual-novel.net ever get that likeness of a goddess?
Hayward failed to comprehend, and even Leila and the others could not believe their eyes.
“I’ll celebrate with you again tonight!” Gerald smiled.
Gerald had made an effort to be present, only to shut Hayward up and the rest. But this wasn’t what virtual-novel.net had in mind, and all turned out to be a mighty embarrassing affair.
“Alright. Now’s your chance to make it up to me.”
Elena’s tears stopped falling.
Once virtual-novel.net had calmed down, Gerald left the scene with Lilian.
The two walked in front while Hayward, Leila, and the rest tagged behind.
They felt really embarrassed by what happened earlier, but they were very curious about who Gerald truly was. How could virtual-novel.net do that to Elena?
After walking for some distance, they finally reached the car.
“Ms. Cole, I’ve been waiting for you but couldn’t get hold of you through your phone.”
Quartney was waiting next to the car, in virtual-novel.net hands, laid the contract…
