Vince is caught between a rock and a hard place. After all, he was the one who invited Gerald. But now his two best friends were fighting with each other, so it was only natural that he started to feel anxious about it.
“Trivial affair? Vincy, do you think what happened during our High School days was just a trivial affair?”
It seems Xyla still harbors hatred for Gerald for what happened centuries ago.
“You remember the competition we participated in that year, and we won. After we returned, the school bought us both a meal in the city. After eating, there were only a few of us left. Therefore, we play the truth or the challenge. I was defeated, so I had to choose someone there to declare my love. Did you forget about that?”
said Xila.
“Of course I remember it. I know you didn't like Gerald back then. But to play it safe, you declare your love for her. Still remember how he just came back from helping the teacher when you did that. You told him you liked him!
Vince recalled the events that happened in the past.
“But in the end, Gerald said that we don't fit in with each other in front of everyone. I was speechless and helpless. I can't believe that losers really think that I like it! I get angry every time I remember his face when he says it to me. All the students in our class pointed their fingers and laughed at me. They joke that even people like Gerald don't like me. The boy I really had a crush on was beside her. Do you know how much humiliation I was forced to accept? ”
said Xila.
“But do you know why Gerald claims that you don't fit in with each other? It's because Gerald feels that he's poor and he's no match for you. You think too much about things. In addition, he also knows that your feelings are insincere, so maybe he says things he doesn't want to say. Didn't you always dislike him because he was poor? You don't even want to sit next to him in the car. That's why Gerald is afraid of you!”
Vince quickly makes an explanation to calm Xyla down.
"What's? That loser! I have to make him regret! Besides, it's not just me who doesn't like him because he's poor. Vincy, aren't you the same? Don't think that I didn't notice. You liked Gerald during that time. But you don't want to be in a relationship because of how devastated she was back then, don't you!?”
Xyla's just a bullshit. When he started talking, he would talk about everything literally.
What he said made Viny blush. He just said the thing that haunts Vincy's mind to this day.
On the other hand, Lennard's facial expression suddenly turned sour. 'No wonder Vincy rejected me when I confessed to her at the time. I didn't know that he liked Gerald at the time.'
Later, he remembers how well Vince treats Gerald. So that's why she acted in such a friendly manner towards him?
Lennard's eyes were filled with a jealous tone.
That's really a different thing now. Previously, Lennard had not interfered when Vince was kind to Gerald. That's because he doesn't even see Gerald as a rival in love. There's no way in a million years Vincy's gonna fall in love with Gerald, right?
But now, that realization made Lennard's heart beat fast.
Apparently, it's been like that all along.
Lennard looked at Vincy. His face flushed, which only served to confirm his fear.
Xyla's right. Vincy did like Gerald in high school.
But Gerald was poor. Vince tried it. But doubts began to appear as he thought about it further.
'How do my classmates look at me? What will they say about me?'
In the end, she did not reach that stage, and she gave up the opportunity to deepen her relationship with Gerald.
But that didn't stop Vince from hoping for Gerald to get much better.
Doubt, even if it is only present in the mind of one of the parties in a romantic relationship, is enough to sink the ship sooner or later.
At that moment, the atmosphere became strange.
Gerald doesn't hear the conversation between Xyla and Vincy.
But the driver beside him said, “Isn't that the son of Chairman Brighton—Leon? My chairman said that Leon came today, representing his father. He asked us to go and be nice to him, wanting us to thank him. After all, Chairman Brighton is the reason why we have so many projects waiting for us. People like them will forever rule us, ordinary people, thought doncha?”
"That's fine. Chairman Wacket even explained that we should at least go and toast to show our sincerity and gratitude!”
Some drivers and secretaries were discussing.
The Leon family owns their own company. It is rather normal for them to have certain types of cooperation and partnerships with other companies, it is not uncommon for these companies to become dependent on them for financial support or capital.
In other words, it wasn't a bad idea to suck him up.
"good. Since they already said it explicitly, let's go there together before the event starts!”
A female secretary said.
Then, the group of people immediately stood up.
"Why don't you come with us, brother?"
At that moment, the driver sitting beside Gerald patted Gerald lightly on the shoulder.
Obviously, Gerald was treated as a driver by these people ...
