"You ... You smoke this kind of cigarette, Gerald ...?"
Everyone felt like they had just received a mental slap on their face. This was especially so for Yura.
To think that he specifically brought a cigarette that he asked his friend to buy for him all the way from America. What he had was truly precious and expensive.
He had honestly been waiting to get past them so that the crowd would praise and admire him.
After all, when a young man comes out, the first thing people tend to notice is his clothes. Next, they would see what kind of watch he was wearing. Last but not least, if he is a smoker, they will definitely want to identify what brand of cigarette he is smoking. All of these work together to build a man's 'value.
To Yura's dismay, it was she who ended up receiving a mental slap once Gerald took out his own cigarette case!
“I usually don't smoke. I just picked this up when I headed out today! ” clear Gerald.
He didn't really expect a simple box of cigarettes to cause such a sensation. It made him feel so helpless.
“Hah! Then it might be fake! If the cigarette is really as great as you described, how could Gerald possibly get it?” replied Marilyn who still did not believe.
"Maybe? That's a hundred percent fake! Gerald may not even realize he's been tricked! If you really want to leave the house with a box of cigarettes in hand, you could just buy a box of Marlboro Cigarettes! It costs at least a few dollars! Carry fake X-One cigarettes everywhere..What a joke!” the boy sneered from before as he threw the cigarette box to the side.
Sensing the opportunity to show off in front of Giya, Yura then immediately said, “Gerald, Gerald, Gerald, but now you have to realize that we all know the ins and outs of your background like the back of our hands... There is actually no need for you to try showing off in front of us... After all, you've graduated, right? Did you find a job?”
Her tone gave the illusion that she was a knowledgeable person, and once her question ended, she looked towards Giya who was sitting right beside her.
"No!" gerald replied while shaking his head.
"Looky! Did you hear what Yura said, Gerald? His words make sense so you should make sure that you take his advice by heart! marilyn added while stabbing the back of Gerald's head with her finger.
If not for her mission, Gerald would have already given Marilyn some hard slaps on her face by now.
“While I do, you should understand that the Yaleman family is more complicated than you think. Be a little more pragmatic and realize that some things won't happen!” said Yura who just assumed that Gerald was back because she wanted a share of the family assets.
Yura wants Giya to see how small Gerald's worth is in front of a strong person like her, which is why she is openly preaching him now. He would trample all over Gerald's ego if it was the last thing he did.
At that moment, a foreign girl with golden curly hair entered the room. In his hand, there was a bottle of red wine that looked extremely expensive.
“You have always supported me, Mr Yaleman! So this bottle of red wine is at home!” announcing the girl in a broken Weston dialect.
“How good are you, Miss Delilah! Thank you!" yura replied with a smile while standing up.
“Hot b*mn! How incredible! People respect you wherever you go, Yura!” marilyn said excitedly before shaking Giya's arm.
“Do you know that the bar we are in is the most luxurious in Yanken, Giya? Miss Delilah over there is the owner of this bar! You should know that some foreigners and powerful figures often visit this place! Yet this is it, giving Yura a bottle of red wine at home!”
Hearing Marilyn's words, the other girls present felt equally honored and delighted.
Some of them even said, “Hah! But of course! It was due to the reputation of the Yaleman family and also the fact that Yura herself was very strong!”
The girls know how interested Yura is in Giya, so they now praise her in hopes that she will eventually fall in love with him.
