Chapter 98 You Canât Even Afford This Little Money?
âYou wish.â Audrey smiled and said, âI will pay the fee. 320 dollars.â
âSure!â Gerald grinned.
Then Gerald looked around and asked, âWhere is Hazel?â
âShe went out to meet her friend.â Audrey said, âYou men are all lecherous. You saw Hazel is sexy and kept staring at her yesterday âEveryone has a love of beauty.â Gerald coughed and went to the bathroom to wash his face. Then, he and Audrey left Keiranâs home.
They took a taxi to a hotel for dinner When they arrived at the entrance of the hotel, Audrey and Gerald got out of the taxi. At this time, there were two women and one man standing at the entrance!
When they saw Audrey, the two women hurriedly came over. They hugged Audrey One of them said, âAudrey, long time no see. I missed you so much.â
âMe too,â Audrey said with a smile.
It could be seen that Audrey had a good relationship with the two girls, and a heartfelt smile.
appeared on her face.
âIs this your boyfriend?â At this time, a girl looked at Gerald with a smile. When she saw Geraldâs clothes, she inadvertently frowned.
Gerald clearly caught the change in her mood, but he did not care!
Beside her, another tall girl smiled and said, âYou are really lucky. Audrey is the most beautiful girl at California State University.
At that time, countless young men chased after her! You are really lucky!â
Audrey snorted at Gerald and said, âDid you hear that? This is your good fortune.â
After saying that, she smiled and said, âLet me introduce him to everyone. This is my boyfriend, Gerald. These two girls are my roommates.â
Audrey pointed at the taller girl and said, âThis is Tara. And this is Sophia!â
Sophia was a slightly plump girl. The two girls were obviously not rich people. They were just ordinary office workers. They only had the opportunity to treat Audrey to a meal at noon.
Audrey looked at the only young and thin man with glasses and said, âThis is our colleague, Brian.â
Gerald reached out his hand and said, âNice to meet you!â
Since Gerald was here to be Audreyâs boyfriend, he had to be polite.
However, Brian did not reach out. He just touched his glasses and said in front of Gerald, âAudrey, you donât seem to have a good eye for finding a boyfriend. You actually found such an ordinary. person. He looks to be twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, but he doesnât even have a car. He even took a taxi to bring you hereâ
As he spoke, Brian looked at Gerald with a smile and said, âWhat do you do? Do you have a monthly salary of over 1,600 dollars?â
Gerald felt funny Since he was pretending to be Audreyâs boyfriend, he shrugged indifferently and said, âI do not have a job. I am unemployed.â
The mockery on Brian s face deepened. He shook his head and said in front of Gerald, âAudrey, you actually found such a person. You should break up with him and be with me. Now that I have worked at the Kenneth Group, I have accumulated some resources. In two years, I will come out to work alone. In the future Audrey glanced at him and directly held Geraldâs hand. âIt has nothing to do with you. So what if Gerald is a beggar? As long as I like him! And I am sorry, I am not short of money I am very rich!â
Brian was stunned.
Yes. Audreyâs father is the richest man in Los Angeles. He wonât care whether his future son-in-law is rich or not.
Moreover, Audreyâs words made Brian embarrassed.
Brian looked at Gerald and found that Gerald had an innocent expression. Gerald shrugged at Brian as if saying, âShe just likes me. I canât help it!â
Brian was so angry.
Sophia quickly said, âOkay, Brian, you said that you wouldnât pick a fight and we are willing to let you.
come. Stop talking. I have already booked a table Letâs go upstairs and eat!â
Brian still looked angry He stared at Gerald, and then the group walked into the hotel.
The lobby on the third floor of the hotel was a perfect place. Of course, it was not the kind that was particularly expensive.
However, it was not cheap either The per capita consumption was at least 90 dollars.
It was a place where the gold collar workers usually came.
After ordering, they began to chat. Brian took the initiative to say, âAlthough the salary is good in the Kenneth Group, it is really tiring. I have to work for more than ten hours a day.â
Sophia pursed her lips and said, âYou are fine. Anyway, I am now in a company that is not big. I work six days a week, and I can only get more than 1,600 dollars a month.â
They all graduated from California State University. As one of the best universities in America, the salary of the graduates would not be too low. They had only graduated for one or two years, and their salary was already higher than many people who had worked for several years.
âI still envy Audrey. Her family is so rich. Tara looked at Audrey with a grin.
Audrey did not say anything and just smiled Audrey was smart. If she talked about her family, the others would feel uncomfortable.
Brian said again, âBut itâs good. I get the promotion quickly these two years. The Kenneth Group is about to take the test. If it goes well, I can become one of their managers in the next few days.â
âItâs difficult to be in the management in such a family business,â Sophia said.
âWell, but itâs just a transition for me anyway. After accumulating the social resources, I will definitely start a business,â Brian glanced at Gerald and said proudly, âWhen I become one of the management, my annual salary and dividends have to be millions of dollars. I have bought a car and a house now. Iâm just accumulating some money and social resources and I will start a business later â
Sophia and Tara both showed envy on their faces.
The look in their eyes made Brian very happy. He looked at Gerald next to him as if he was showing off to Gerald.
In the end, Brian found that Gerald looked completely uninterested and was looking around.
Country bumpkin/Brian cursed in his heart.
At this time, the waiter served the dishes. They all ordered steak Brian looked at Gerald with a faint smile and asked, âDo you know how to use knives and forks?â
Gerald raised his eyes and glanced at Brian. Audrey glanced at Brian coldly and said, âDonât go too fariâ
Brian was very angry. Then he thought of something and smiled coldly. He looked at Gerald and asked, âGerald, todayâs meal was invited by their girls. As men, we have to pay something. Letâs treat them to a bottle of red wine, okay?â Brian asked.
As he said that, Brian said lightly, âThe red wine here is quite good Shall we have a bottle? We each have half How about one bottle?â
In his opinion, Gerald would probably not be able to afford a bottle of red wine Brian wanted to embarrass Gerald.
Gerald narrowed his eyes. Sophia hurriedly said, âI have to go to work in the afternoon, so I wonât drink.â
âItâs okay to drink some red wine âBrian grinned and looked at Gerald. He asked, âHow is it? We each pay half You canât even afford this little money, can you?â
Gerald looked at Audrey, then looked at Brian!
The mockery on Brianâs face deepened. Sophia and Tara were a little embarrassed Of course, they were also looking forward to it Their income could not support them to drink some more expensive red wine âSince you said so, I naturally canât refuse you,â Gerald said with a smile.
Brian looked happy Then, he looked up and said, âExcuse me!â
Soon, a waiter came over and asked, âSir, is there anything I can help you with?â
Brian was about to speak when Gerald said, âOpen a bottle of the most expensive red wine here.â
âHuh?â Brianâs pupils suddenly shrank when he heard this. His heart also beat violently The red wine in this hotel restaurant was about 80 thousand dollars!
