Invisible Rich (The Invisible Rich Man 2)

Chapter 773

The person in question is Alice!

He hasn't seen her in a long time.

After all that happened, Gerald heard that Alice had gone to Northbay. Since he was from the Broadcasting and Hosting Department, it was only natural for him to intern there.

However, he really did not expect to meet her here!

“By the way, can you clean the items on the floor while you do it? Thank you!" said the other girl without bothering to look back to look at her.

"Will do!"

Xara has made all the arrangements for some reason, both Drake and Tyson are left unemployed whereas Gerald is appointed as a handyman who has to do all sorts of odd jobs! Was it just his destiny to carry out the task?

After all, it didn't really matter to Gerald because he was used to it.

“Suppose this as a small vacation of all your problems and frustrations, Alice. After all, you finally managed to leave Mayberry, a place where you have experienced so many disappointing memories, and start again on Northbay! But who ever expected something like that to happen? Everything should really be yours! If everything goes like that, then we will be able to enjoy the benefits as well! ” said another girl while continuing to remove their makeup.

Peering at them, Gerald felt that a common trait among most girls was the fact that they would apply their makeup during the day and remove it at night.

“Don't talk about it again, Hillary. Although I might look fine on the surface, I am still filled with regret deep down in my heart. It's hard not to feel sorry because at first, I had a pretty good impression of him. Not only did he treat others well, he also looked pretty good, to say the least. However, he was really too poor! I'm not too sure when or even why, but eventually, I started to hate it!”

Back then, Alice had stopped removing her makeup. Her head was lying on the dressing table as she wrote in her hand using her eyebrow pencil.

“Do you sometimes feel that women's feelings are really strange, Hillary? It's not that I just started to change and love it once he's rich. Well, for starters, it all started when he started a little better. Doesn't mean he's someone rich during that period of time. However, he is clearly not poor anymore and I realized it because he does not have to be as hungry as he used to be. That was when I slowly started trying to accept it again! I even want to be friends with him!”

“You know, she was standing in front of the corridor door with a bouquet of flowers in hand on that day. My roommate and I had just returned after class at the time and you can't imagine how touched I was then! That's the reason why I agreed to be with him. I think I can finally be in a decent relationship!”

Seeing that, the other girl stopped removing her makeup, choosing to pat Alice on the shoulder gently.

“Yes, we girls are always destined to be cheated by men like her. We can't help it, especially if our loved ones are as rich as him! Although I guess he only did that to get revenge on you.”.

"Revenge? Why would he need to do that? Was it because I looked down on him earlier? Is it because I refuse to date someone like him? Let me ask you something, Hillary. Which girl on the planet doesn't want her partner to have at least some money? And I'm not saying that couples should be rich too. I said he just needed to have enough money to give him basic food and comfort. After all, it is only natural that a girl feels safer knowing that her partner has a stable income! I am not very materialistic, but money is a necessity in life and I cannot ignore that reality!”

“I have never regretted hating and underestimating him from the start. He really did look very unpromising back then! ” said Alice among her sobs.

“Sorry to have broken your bubble, Alice, but your hopes of coming back with her are too slim. After all, he seemed to be very loyal to that Mila Smith girl! You really missed the chance to get into the Crawford family, and I can understand why you are so upset about it.” replied the girl while trying to calm her down.

“I still want to work hard and try my best.. If I don't try at all, then there will be no possibility of that happening.. Ah.. The more I talk about it, the more anxious and frustrated I become… I like to drink, Hillary... Want to come have a drink with me?”

“It just so happens, I want to drink too! Let's use this as our chance to celebrate our early departure from our damned youth! Can you bring us some bottles of red wine, brother? Thank you!" hillary said as she looked at Gerald.

“Mm!” muttered Gerald while nodding in agreement before exiting the room. He did not even dare to speak.

At first, Gerald finds Alice's story quite interesting, thinking that she has already started a new relationship.

To his surprise, the further along the story goes, the more he realizes that he is talking about her. Hearing things from his point of view, Gerald couldn't help but feel a little guilty now.

After all, he had only experienced all of this now because he did not immediately clarify the situation to her back then. In a way, it was his fault for causing Alice to misunderstand that he was the one she was trying to pursue back then.

As a result, he was greatly injured once he told the truth only after the two of them became a couple.
