The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 548
Since Jarvis didnât try to stop her, Yolanda continued making rude remarks from time to time. Gerald on the other hand, was being treated as though he didnât exist.
After two long hours of shopping without stopping to rest, it was already close to eleven at night. Since there were several restaurants in the building, Jarvis suggested for them to find a place to have supper.
They would be able to talk more while seated anyway.
Naturally, Michelle and her friends accepted the offer and they soon found a nearby restaurant. Finally able to take a seat, Gerald put their bags down and sat at one of the tables as well.
âAnd who said that you could sit here?!â screamed a voice just as Gerald sat down.
âArenât we eating? Is it wrong for me to take a seat?â asked Gerald, clearly annoyed.
The voice had belonged to Yolanda and she was at her limit. Her jealousy had overpowered her rationality since she had to watch Michelle talk to Jarvis this entire time. Since she wasnât being noticed enough, she decided to cause a scene and simply yelled at Gerald.
âJust look at you! Who do you even think you are to sit with us? As if you could ever be at our level!
Save yourself the embarrassment and stay in your own lane!â screamed Yolanda again. She was clearly referring to someone else at the same time.
âNow what do you even mean by that?â snapped Gerald.
âGerald Crawford, why are you even fighting her? Just leave her be, plus, sheâs telling the truth anyway! Seriously, fighting with a girl. What kind of man are you?â said Queeny. She knew Yolanda was upset so she ended up scolding Gerald as well.
âGerald Crawford?â At that moment, Michelle turned to look at Gerald. Wasnât that the name of her blind date? Was this person before her really her supposed blind date?
âOh, you probably have no idea who he is. Heâs my grandpaâs neighbor and heâs rented our unit. I invited him over so that he could carry our bags! Iâll treat him to lunch later on as thanks,â said Queeny.
She was afraid that Yolanda would end up fighting with Michelle, so she quickly tried to change the topic.
âAh, I see!â replied Michelle as her cheeks flushed in slight embarrassment. She took another glance at Gerald and felt extremely awkward.
She had imagined what Gerald looked like before, and she thought that heâd at least look decent and have a great personality even though he came from a humble background. However, here he was, carrying bags for a mere meal. He looked rather decent, but didnât his actions mean that he was just some lowly pushover?
She then turned to look at Queeny who didnât seem to know anything about the blind date. If neither Queeny nor Gerald brought the topic up, Michelle preferred taking that knowledge with her to her grave.
âExcuse me, miss! This is quite hot!â
The voice came from a waitress whose path was being blocked by Yolanda. As Yolanda turned around, her arm hit the corner of the tray and the waitress almost lost her grip. Thankfully, she was able to hold on to it. However, a bit of soup ended up getting spilled onto Yolandaâs elbow.
âIâm terribly sorry, miss! Are you alright?â apologized the waitress immediately.
Her apology, however, was only replied with a tight slap on the cheek from Yolanda.
âWhy donât you watch where youâre f*cking going? How dare you spill soup onto me!â Yolandaâs rationality had long set sail, and only anger resided within her now. She had been humiliated in front of Jarvis for far too long, thus she directed all her anger toward the waitress.
The waitress herself seemed quite young. She bore the look of someone who had just finished high school. The slap stunned her, and she was now only staring at Yolanda in disbelief. Gerald and the others were stunned as well. Nobody had expected Yolanda to actually hit someone.
âNatalie? Natalie, what happened? Who hurt you?â
At that moment, the manager of the restaurant ran out to help. Following him were a few other waiters and waitresses. As they helped her up, the few who followed the manager out and even the manager himself looked terrified.
âShe did!â shouted Natalie as she pointed at Yolanda. Her other hand was cupping her now swollen cheek.
âHow dare you! Do you even know who she is?â scowled the manager as he glared at Yolanda.
