Almost everyone present at the scene was stunned speechless.
While Molly was equally terrified and sad for Mila as virtual-novel.net watched virtual-novel.net good friend get shoved to the floor, Hallie was contrastingly sneering like there was no tomorrow.
President Crawford herself, who was getting a massage at that moment, pretended like virtual-novel.net had seen nothing.
“Humph! How bold of you to offend Mr. Crawford! If I don’t personally teach you a lesson now, you’ll never learn!” shouted Yoel as virtual-novel.net raised his arm, seemingly ready to beat Mila up.
However, before virtual-novel.net could launch his first blow, virtual-novel.net paused right in the nick of time.
He had noticed just in time, that the lock screen on Mila’s phone—which had earlier fallen to the side—contained Mr. Crawford’s photograph!
“…Hmm? What?!” said Yoel, startled.
“Do you know Mr. Crawford?” asked Yoel, clearly surprised to see his godbrother’s photo in some assisting staff member’s phone.
He then picked virtual-novel.net phone up, trying hard to figure out who virtual-novel.net really was. Since virtual-novel.net wasn’t able to come up with any logical conclusions yet, virtual-novel.net refrained from beating virtual-novel.net up just yet.
“Return my phone to me!” said Mila as virtual-novel.net snatched virtual-novel.net phone from Yoel’s hands.
“I’m asking you now. Why do you have Mr. Crawford’s photograph as your lock screen photo?” asked Yoel again, his voice filled with confusion.
While virtual-novel.net eyes were closed at that moment, even President Crawford had heard his question. She then gestured for the person massaging virtual-novel.net to leave before glancing suspiciously at Mila, even scanning virtual-novel.net from head to toe.
“That’s a personal question!” replied Mila, holding on to virtual-novel.net phone carefully.
“Then what’s your name?” asked Yoel as virtual-novel.net scratched the back of his head. He seemed to have just remembered something important, which was what prompted the question.
“Mila Smith!”
Hearing that, Yoel’s eyes widened slightly.
‘Mila Smith… Why does that name sound so familiar…? Where have I heard it before…?’
‘Hold on… Aiden told me that Mr. Crawford’s girlfriend was doing virtual-novel.net internship in Northbay…’
“…Are you from Mayberry University?” asked Yoel, slightly astonished by his own conclusion.
“I am!” replied Mila with a slight nod.
“F*ck!” Yoel was even more surprised now that his deduction was actually correct!
“Then you definitely know my brother, right? Gerald? You even have his photo in your phone! Could it really be that you’re his girlfriend? Do you know who Aiden and Zack are?”
“I know them, yes!” replied Mila, giving another nod.
Yoel almost jumped in place after hearing virtual-novel.net reply.
‘Sh*t, virtual-novel.net really is my sister-in-law! What have I done? How could I nearly have beaten virtual-novel.net up?’
‘I’m screwed for sure this time!’ Yoel thought to himself as virtual-novel.net turned to look at President Crawford meekly.
Seeing his reaction, virtual-novel.net immediately stood up.
She had naturally overheard their entire conversation, and virtual-novel.net too was surprised by the revelation as virtual-novel.net walked toward Mila.
“Are you really Gerald’s girlfriend?” asked the president.
“Yes, virtual-novel.net is! She’s Gerald’s girlfriend, Mila!” shouted Molly—who had taken a step forward at that moment—out of the blue.
Seeing that virtual-novel.net could no longer deny it, Mila simply bit virtual-novel.net lower lip slightly before nodding in agreement.
Mila had been extremely reluctant to admit it since virtual-novel.net wanted to be more independent instead of solely relying on Gerald. It was the reason why virtual-novel.net had endured all virtual-novel.net hardships alone. She simply didn’t want to only be known as eye candy for Gerald if virtual-novel.net was to continue being his girlfriend.
Because of virtual-novel.net lack of reliance on Gerald’s name in virtual-novel.net workspace however, the truth only served to amplify how stunned the people there were.
“H-hot d*mn! Is virtual-novel.net really Mr. Crawford’s girlfriend?”
“I guess so! While virtual-novel.net really is beautiful, I wonder why she’s working as a receptionist here…?”
As the others began discussing the current situation, Mila noticed that President Crawford was staring at her.
“P-President Crawford, I-”
“You don’t have to call me President Crawford anymore. After all, if you’re Gerald’s girlfriend, you should be addressing me as your sister!” replied Jessica, a faint smile on virtual-novel.net face.
“Sister… Are… Are you Jessica? Gerald’s elder sister?”
At last, Mila finally knew who President Crawford really was.
