Everyone in the lobby fell silent. Their eyes widened in disbelief as they tried to take in the scene right in front of him.
Who even is this man? This was way too much!
Then, a man in a suit carefully made his way through the pile of money and entered the lobby.
He then approached Gerald and whispered into his ear, “I have done as you asked, Mr. Crawford.”
“Ah yes, good job. I’ll leave the rest to you guys. I had already chosen the buildings I wanted. Miss Nicki here will tell you what else we’d need.” Gerald said as virtual-novel.net patted Nicki on virtual-novel.net shoulder.
On the other hand, Nicki gulped and dared not to say a word. If virtual-novel.net could have these two buildings signed, the commission fee would be out of this world!
Nicki felt as if virtual-novel.net had ascended to heaven and found paradise.
Luna, still stunned, was now drowning in fear and regret. She didn’t expect virtual-novel.net to actually buy it. If it wasn’t for virtual-novel.net attitude, virtual-novel.net could’ve been the one earning such a large amount of commission fees.
She didn’t even have to work for the rest of virtual-novel.net life after this! But unfortunately, it was just twenty minutes ago where virtual-novel.net had already assigned Nicki to Gerald…
Luna’s face, which was blushing red from laughter earlier drained of all its color, was now pale with fear.
The employees who ignored Gerald were too shocked to their core. As for the Millers, they stood frozen with their mouths wide open, staring blankly at the piles of cash.
What a shame! Gerald had wanted to keep a low profile. Even if Luna had given virtual-novel.net a little attitude, virtual-novel.net didn’t want to humiliate virtual-novel.net any further.
However, these people continued to treat virtual-novel.net like dirt, and virtual-novel.net just couldn’t let it slide. If virtual-novel.net did, they probably would’ve crushed the little self-esteem virtual-novel.net had within himself.
But with everyone staring at virtual-novel.net with such shocking expressions, Gerald felt a little embarrassed for causing a scene.
Hence, virtual-novel.net decided that virtual-novel.net should leave. It would be quite awkward if someone virtual-novel.net knew noticed virtual-novel.net now, but fate was just funny like that.
As Gerald turned around, his eyes stumbled onto a few familiar faces.
In the VIP area stood all of his old classmates, Sharon, Lilian, Morgana and Howard, and a few other girls. All of them stared at virtual-novel.net in horror, still frozen in place.
“Gerald… y-y-you…!” Even Lilian was stuttering over virtual-novel.net words.
They had been observing Gerald from the very beginning, especially when virtual-novel.net said he’d buy two whole buildings and made that phone call.
Just a few moments ago, the girls had laughed at virtual-novel.net as well. Once they saw what went down, fear rose within them.
They have never seen Gerald being this aggressive, although they’ve known virtual-novel.net for years. It was as if they were looking at a stranger.
Clunk!
Howard’s phone fell to the ground as virtual-novel.net lost his grasp on it. Beside him, Sharon started hyperventilating. It felt like virtual-novel.net heart was being stung by a hive of bees. Although virtual-novel.net had anticipated this, the most horrifying thing had just happened.
Oh Sharon, would you ever regret what you did to Gerald when virtual-novel.net becomes very powerful? No, why would I? Most virtual-novel.net could do is win a lottery and make new connections. How big of a deal can virtual-novel.net be? He could never compete with Hayward! However, these were all just excuses Sharon made for herself.
All virtual-novel.net excuses shattered into pieces like glass as if a humongous boulder had crashed down on her.
“Oh sh*t, when were you guys here?” Gerald took his hands out of his pockets immediately.
Just a few seconds ago, Gerald was at his last straw, which caused virtual-novel.net to act the way virtual-novel.net did. However, with Lilian and the others around, virtual-novel.net didn’t feel the need to pretend like virtual-novel.net was some sort of influential figure. He didn’t like acting like that anyway…
“Gerald, my man, we’ve been here since the beginning!” Howard gulped.
