Chapter 238: Chapter 238

Chapter 238 Best Friend?

After washing up, Gerald went to the sofa. Although it was very late, the girls did not have any intention of sleeping.

In fact, as Watchmen, Valery and the girls were all night owls and often operated at night.

So usually, Valery slept very late at night.

She spent most of her time studying medicine in her room, and she seldom came out.

However, she had been resting recently. She began to like watching the drama with other girls.

Putting aside her identity as a Watchman, she was nothing different from ordinary girls, speaking of watching drama and discussing gossip.

But they did not have much time to pay attention to these things.

They were out on missions all year round. Sometimes injury and recovery were counted as a holiday for the Watchmen.

Gerald did not disturb them. He went to the sofa and lay down, closing his eyes.

Valery thought for a moment. She walked to Gerald and said, “Put your head on my hand!”

“What are you going to do?” Gerald asked, startled.

“Do it. Why are you asking so much?” Valery glared at him.

Gerald gave in and then poked his head over.

Gerald could be arrogant and kill in the field. But when he was injured, he had to be treated by Valery.

When facing Valery, Gerald had always been a coward.

When Gerald put his head on her hand, Valery snorted coldly. She raised Gerald’s head with both hands and placed it on her legs.

Gerald immediately felt a soft touch and smelled a fragrance. Gerald was stunned.

“Shut up. Close your eyes and sleep,” Valery said.

Gerald obediently closed his eyes.

At this time, Valery placed her hand on his head and gently began her massage.

As a doctor, Valery was good at massage.

She thought that Gerald had experienced so much today, so she wanted to give Gerald a massage to relax.

A comfortable feeling occurred. Somehow, Gerald completely put down the vigilance in his heart at this moment.

Yes, vigilance!

He had carried a lot of pressure these years.

Three years ago, he was seriously injured and lost his memory. In the Everett family, he was almost like walking on thin ice. To earn money, he was tired every day. To avoid being scolded by Irene and her mother, he was careful at home, afraid that he would offend them by saying something wrong.

Later, after he recovered his memory, he was filled with hatred.

For too many reasons, he could not directly take revenge. This hatred was like a mountain pressing on his heart and upsetting him.

Every day, he was thinking about tasks and so on, rarely lowering his guard.

At this time, Valery’s gentleness made Gerald completely calm and relaxed.

When he relaxed, he felt tired and slowly fell asleep.

When he woke up the next morning, the three girls were asleep.

He washed up and rushed to the company. When he arrived at the company and punched in, he planned to visit Ingrid with Catherine.

At this time, Jenny came out and said, “Gerald.”

“What’s up?” Gerald turned around and asked.

Jenny looked at Gerald and said, “Weren’t a lot of people dismissed yesterday? Right now, the positions of the ten sales team leaders in the headquarters have been vacant. Now, the salesmen from the major branches are coming over. Mr. Thomas asked me to handle this matter. I am wondering if you want to appoint anyone.”

Gerald looked at Jenny.

He found Jenny quite clever. Yesterday, she found that Gerald exerted a lot of influence on Marty, so she chose to build a good relationship with him.

Gerald smiled and said, “I don’t know much about this. You’re the professionals. You can decide what to do.”

“Good!” Jenny said, “If you need any help in the company, just tell me.”

Gerald nodded and said, “No problem. Then I will go to the company with Catherine!”

Jenny quickly said, “Okay, go ahead!”

Gerald and Catherine went downstairs. Gerald said, “Anyway, I have to come back at night. Why don’t we just drive one car? It’s quite troublesome to drive two cars.”

Catherine nodded obediently. “Okay!”

Gerald opened his car and said, “Alright, get in!”

After getting in the car, Gerald started the car and asked, “How is it? Is the surgery date settled for your mother?”

Catherine nodded and said, “I have talked with the doctor. After work yesterday, I took my mother to have a full body checkup.

Then, she has made an appointment for the surgery this weekend.”

Gerald was stunned. “Why did you wait so long?”

“My mother didn’t want to affect my work. Plus, it would take some time for the surgery arrangement. I discussed it with the doctors and waited until now.” Catherine pursed her lips and said, “Gerald, when my mom is taking her surgery on the weekend, can you ... go to the hospital with me?”

“No problem.” Gerald smiled at her and said, “We are friends. There’s no need to be so polite. Are you moving to a new apartment? Is it going well?”

“Yes. I found a moving company to help me.” Catherine said, “By the way, I only found out about one thing last night.”

“What?” Gerald asked, “What is it?”

“My dad knows that I work here and knows my salary. It was Melody who told my dad,” Catherine said with a sullen expression.

“Your best friend?” Gerald asked, “Doesn’t she know that your father treats you badly? Is there something wrong with her?”

“Alas!” Catherine sighed and said, “I didn’t expect her to tell my dad, either. I share everything with her, but yesterday I learned from Colt that Melody never liked me that much.”

“Damn, so scary. If she doesn’t like you that much, why did she become your best friend?” Gerald said as he drove the car, “This woman is so scary!”

“According to Colt, she is jealous of me because I am good–looking, have good grades, and work in a good company. This time, when I tell her and Colt about the money I’ve earned, she privately complained to Coit that I must have slept with a man or something.” Catherine sighed and said, “I didn’t expect it to be like this.”

Gerald almost understood what was going on.

This was a typical case of jealousy. Melody hoped that she would live better than her best friend, but in the end, she failed. Then, she viciously hoped that her friend would be worse off.

Then Melody told Catherine’s father Ronin about her salary. She knew that Ronin would come to find faults with Gerald.

What upset Gerald more was that Catherine went to tell Melody about everything.

“Then what do you plan to do?” Gerald asked.

Catherine let out a sigh and said, “What else can I do? I’ll stop contacting her. She is so scheming and tried to hinder my mother’s surgery. I don’t want to contact such a person at all.”

Gerald looked at her in surprise. Catherine looked soft and weak, but in fact, she was a strong–willed person.

“Well, just stop contacting her, but there is no need to blacklist or delete her.” Gerald smiled and said, “Let her see in the Timeline what a good life you will be leading.”

Catherine was stunned for a moment. She nodded and said, “Alright!”

It was only a matter of time before Catherine became a higher–up in the company. She intended to cooperate with Ingrid’s studio.

When Ingrid’s brand was released and generated profit, Catherine could naturally become a higher–up of Wisdom Group.

Just as they were talking, the car headed towards Ingrid’s studio.
