The Secretly Rich Man

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 511
Gerald was in a great rush. He knew that this should’ve been over and done with two days ago.
However, due to that hiccup with Xeno, this dorm project was delayed.
Since some of the areas were chosen explicitly by Gerald, he decided to pay a personal visit to the real estate center.
Gerald entered the center and immediately approached the front counter.
The moment the real estate agent noticed Gerald, her expression immediately darkened. She was filled with awkwardness and
dejection.
She had thought that Gerald was just another poor idiot without enough money to afford a property. Hence, when he had come
by under the company of Leila Jung, she insisted that Gerald take up a loan.
Her attitude towards Gerald was cold as well; she thought he wasn’t worth the effort since he didn’t seem to be the wealthy type.
Then the very next day, he decided not to take up a loan. Instead, he wanted to buy the property with full payment. This would
mean that the agent would have earned the lowest possible commission fees.
She immediately put off her professional attitude and scowled at Gerald, “Are you an idiot? I said you should take up a loan! Are
you stupid, or are you just plain dumb? Do you really think you’re all that with just this bit of money?”
Those were indeed very harsh words.
Gerald, however, would have none of it, throwing a bag of cash to her feet.
“Quit wasting my time and get on with it!”
As his voice echoed through the lobby, everyone was stunned in place. All of them shot dirty looks at the real estate agent, and
she was humiliated thoroughly this time around.
Seeing the very man who humiliated her in public, mixed emotions flooded the agent.
“I’d like to ask. Oh, just before that, I’d like to ask you another thing. Why wouldn’t you reply to any of my texts? You wouldn’t
even answer my calls! What kind of customer service is this? Am I no longer your customer after I’ve bought the property?”

Gerald was slightly annoyed as she had been actively ignoring him for the past two days.
“Hmph, what do you want this time? Did you change your mind and would like to take up a loan now? Oops, too bad, that’s not
possible. Also, if you’d like to furnish the property, you’d have to wait till the grant deed is registered. Now that I’m done
answering your questions, do you still need anything else? If not, I have other customers to tend to. I’m a very busy woman, after
all.” Agent Luna rolled her eyes at Gerald.
Other agents who were present giggled softly in the back. They seemed to be enjoying the show.
Everyone in the lobby knew that Luna Maddison was the feistiest agent out of all of them.
Of course, she would want revenge after being humiliated. With swift movements, Luna gathered all her documents and went to
the other side of the counter to continue her work.
“Don’t you dare give me an attitude! I am a customer!” Gerald scowled.
“Hah, what attitude? What kind of attitude would you like me to have? All you did is buy a house, get over it! I wasn’t even able to
earn much commission from you. Three hundred dollars of commission? Oh please. If you want it back that much, I literally don’t
give a damn! Have it and never come back! Hmph!” Luna spat and turned away.
If he were to apply for a mortgage, she would’ve been able to earn much more than merely three hundred dollars. She would’ve
even made a bonus after successfully selling the property. Without this, Luna’s salary might even be deducted.
“Where is your manager? Are you all just a bunch of animals without supervision?” Gerald didn’t expect that Luna would be
giving him such a nasty attitude this time around.
The employees at the front counter just kept their heads low, ignoring Gerald as well. It was clear as day that he was being
looked down on.
Suddenly, a middle-aged woman walked into the lobby, “Hey Luna, what is the meaning of this? You were the employee with the
most amount of sales last year. How are you publicly arguing with others now!”
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 512
All of the employees at the front counter instantly stood up at attention and greeted her politely.
“Ah, Mrs. Millers, welcome!”

“Wow, Mrs. Millers, still as beautiful as always!” everyone chimed.
Luna smiled brightly, saying, “Mrs. Millers, it was just this man over here, causing a nuisance. If my cousin hadn’t asked me to
help him, I wouldn’t have even talked to him in the first place. So Mr. Millers, how many properties would you like to buy this
time?” She turned to her husband and asked.
Mr. Millers, an interior designer, was the type to buy many properties and give them a whole new look.
These properties would then be rented out. Hence, he was one of the biggest customers of the company.
“I’d just like to buy just one this time, but I need it done fast!” Mr. Millers said as he hugged his wife by the waist.
The couple then shot Gerald a dirty look; it would seem that they have developed a sense of superiority. Everyone was flocking
towards them but ignoring Gerald after all.
In the VIP area, all of Gerald’s old classmates had witnessed the whole incident. Lilian wanted to go up to him, but it would seem
that Gerald had gotten himself into an argument with the agent.
After hesitating briefly, Lilian decided to stay put. Moreover, it was way too awkward to approach him, now that he has been
humiliated. If anyone were to approach him directly, his self-esteem would probably be shattered.
Luna, still seemingly angered, handed Mr. Millers a few documents.
She then turned to a petite girl behind her and handed her the remaining documents in her hands. “Hey, Nicki! You’re going to
have to handle this customer from now on. All you need to do is change my name to yours! Oh, and I’ll transfer the three
hundred dollars of commission to you later through Paypal. He’s yours to deal with now. Bloody hell.”
After making sure that Nicki had made the correct changes, she glared at Gerald then turned to Mr. Millers with a cheery smile
plastered on her face.
On the other hand, a soft voice spoke out, “Mr. Crawford, I’ll be working with you now. If you have any questions, you... erm...
feel free to ask!” Nicki seemed to be very timid, and she was very young for an agent; she was at most 21 years old.
She was most likely new to the job. However, she seemed to be passionate about her job despite the hint of nervousness in her
eyes.

Gerald glanced at Luna coldly, then smiled softly to Nicki, “Okay then, can you show me the layout of these two buildings? B1
and B2, please.”
“Okay, sir, I’ll give you a brief introduction!” Nicki nodded.
“Hmph, Nicki, he already bought a house. He’s probably just trying to waste your time. Why do you even bother? Tell him to
leave if he doesn’t have any other business here, and get a life!” Luna scoffed upon hearing their conversation.
“Oh Luna dear, why bother conversing with him? Hah, he probably doesn’t even own more than three properties. That’s why he
keeps wanting to look at different properties! It’s wishful thinking, I tell you!” Mr. Millers snickered.
“Honey, you don’t say the prices for properties in our city have inflated so much. Being able to buy a property is probably the
greatest achievement for them in this economy!” Mrs. Millers added sarcastically.
Despite the ridicule, Nicki still dug out the layout for B1 and B2 and handed them to Gerald. Both of these buildings were new
projects. Hence they weren’t for sale just yet.
Nicki then explained to Gerald thoroughly and patiently. Gerald nodded, closed the documents in his hands, and said, “Okay, I’ve
decided to buy both of these buildings, bring me the legal documents!”
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 513
“What?!”
Everyone in the lobby, including Luna, was stunned.
What followed after was a room full of laughter. Especially Luna and the Millers, they laughed so hard that tears were welling up
in their eyes.
“Hahaha, holy f*ck my dude, you can’t just go around bluffing like that!” Mr. Millers laughed, holding his abdomen.
“Is he insane?”
“Yeah, two whole buildings! I thought I f*cking misheard him, hahaha!”
“Yo... do we need to call for security?”
Even the employees at the front counter seemed to be running out of breath from all the laughing.

Suddenly, the manager walked into the lobby with a stern expression.
“What happened? Where is everyone’s sense of professionalism? Just look at all of you! Ridiculous!”
Luna bit her lip to keep her composure. “No... No sir, this man over here, Gerald Crawford, he... he said he wanted two of our
buildings! Hahaha!” Tears streamed down her bright red cheeks.
The manager seemed to be more professional than these agents. He took a deep breath and stared at Gerald for a brief moment
before approaching him with a bland expression.
“Mr. Crawford was it...? Pfft!” Although he hadn’t said much, the manager could not help but let out a loud chuckle too.
What Gerald just said was just way too hilarious. Their principle was to always remain professional front no matter how ridiculous
their customers are unless they couldn’t hold in their laughter any longer.
“You’re laughing?” Gerald said coldly as he brushed the tip of his nose. These people were getting on his nerves, but he knew
just how to shut them up.
“Tell me, how much for one building, Nicki? Are you done calculating yet?” Gerald asked with a cold expression.
“Oh, I know! One building has around a hundred units, and the total for one is a million dollars. After our promotion, it will be two
million for two buildings, sir!”
Nicki replied professionally. She was the only one not laughing in the room.
Gerald then thought to himself, half of these units can be used for the employees’ dorms while the other half can be rented out.
This would work out just perfectly.
“Right then, I’ll have someone wire the money over now. Bring me the documents!” Gerald said as he took out his phone.
He then made a phone call and said, “Send two million over to that real estate center I’ve been to, in cash!”
Gerald leaned on the front counter after hanging up, still observing the group of people laughing hysterically. He wondered if
they’d continue laughing at him later on.
“Sir, please calm down. You can’t simply just sign these documents!” The manager was able to catch his breath and advised.
Gerald ignored him and looked away.

Twenty minutes later, a big truck had parked itself in front of the real estate center, and not even security could stop it.
“Huh? What’s happening?” Everyone was stunned and flooded the lobby entrance out of curiosity. Even the manager tried
squeezing through the crowd, he too was curious as to what was happening.
Just at that very moment, Gerald’s phone rang. It was a call from his underlings.
“Mr. Crawford, we have arrived with the money, all in cash as you requested. Do we send someone to bring it in, or do we
request someone on their side to do so?” The underling asked.
He knew that something was up when he heard Gerald speak in such an annoyed tone during the phone call. Hence, he decided
to cause a scene on purpose.
“To hell with that!” Gerald said as he signed the documents. He then threw his pen to the ground, “Dump it all at the front
entrance!”
“Yes, sir!” As soon as he hung up, the truck’s trunk opened up, and within it, a mountain of cash.
The compartment then slowly raised up, and stacks of cash tumbled out of the truck, right onto the pavement in front of the lobby
entrance.
“Jesus Christ!!”
The manager fell to the ground in shock. The documents in Luna’s arms slipped to the ground as her arms weakened. She stood
there, her face drained off all color.
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 514
Everyone in the lobby fell silent. Their eyes widened in disbelief as they tried to take in the scene right in front of him.
Who even is this man? This was way too much!
Then, a man in a suit carefully made his way through the pile of money and entered the lobby.
He then approached Gerald and whispered into his ear, “I have done as you asked, Mr. Crawford.”
“Ah yes, good job. I’ll leave the rest to you guys. I had already chosen the buildings I wanted. Miss Nicki here will tell you what
else we’d need.” Gerald said as he patted Nicki on her shoulder.

On the other hand, Nicki gulped and dared not to say a word. If she could have these two buildings signed, the commission fee
would be out of this world!
Nicki felt as if she had ascended to heaven and found paradise.
Luna, still stunned, was now drowning in fear and regret. She didn’t expect him to actually buy it. If it wasn’t for her attitude, she
could’ve been the one earning such a large amount of commission fees.

She didn’t even have to work for the rest of her life after this! But unfortunately, it was just twenty minutes ago where she had
already assigned Nicki to Gerald...
Luna’s face, which was blushing red from laughter earlier drained of all its color, was now pale with fear.
The employees who ignored Gerald were too shocked to their core. As for the Millers, they stood frozen with their mouths wide
open, staring blankly at the piles of cash.
What a shame! Gerald had wanted to keep a low profile. Even if Luna had given him a little attitude, he didn’t want to humiliate
her any further.
However, these people continued to treat him like dirt, and he just couldn’t let it slide. If he did, they probably would’ve crushed
the little self-esteem he had within himself.
But with everyone staring at him with such shocking expressions, Gerald felt a little embarrassed for causing a scene.
Hence, he decided that he should leave. It would be quite awkward if someone he knew noticed him now, but fate was just funny
like that.
As Gerald turned around, his eyes stumbled onto a few familiar faces.
In the VIP area stood all of his old classmates, Sharon, Lilian, Morgana and Howard, and a few other girls. All of them stared at
him in horror, still frozen in place.
“Gerald... y-y-you...!” Even Lilian was stuttering over her words.
They had been observing Gerald from the very beginning, especially when he said he’d buy two whole buildings and made that
phone call.
Just a few moments ago, the girls had laughed at him as well. Once they saw what went down, fear rose within them.

They have never seen Gerald being this aggressive, although they’ve known him for years. It was as if they were looking at a
stranger.
Clunk!
Howard’s phone fell to the ground as he lost his grasp on it. Beside him, Sharon started hyperventilating. It felt like her heart was
being stung by a hive of bees. Although she had anticipated this, the most horrifying thing had just happened.
Oh Sharon, would you ever regret what you did to Gerald when he becomes very powerful? No, why would I? Most he could do
is win a lottery and make new connections. How big of a deal can he be? He could never compete with Hayward! However,
these were all just excuses Sharon made for herself.
All her excuses shattered into pieces like glass as if a humongous boulder had crashed down on her.
“Oh sh*t, when were you guys here?” Gerald took his hands out of his pockets immediately.
Just a few seconds ago, Gerald was at his last straw, which caused him to act the way he did. However, with Lilian and the
others around, he didn’t feel the need to pretend like he was some sort of influential figure. He didn’t like acting like that
anyway...
“Gerald, my man, we’ve been here since the beginning!” Howard gulped.
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 515
“Gerald, we’re having a little gathering, and we were going to invite you along with us!” Lilian rushed to his side and explained.
Everyone was now staring at Gerald, waiting for a response.
It would seem that being able to even stand next to Gerald would help heighten your status. Sharon stared at him, blankly. Still
being doused in mixed emotions, she fell silent once again.
“Okay, have fun then! I still have some matters to tend to, so I have to go now!” Gerald smiled.
Without hesitation, he then exited the lobby immediately.
Sharon was mildly annoyed when she saw Gerald taking off. He didn’t even glance in her direction. Dismayed, she felt like she
could hear the sound of her heart-shattering.

As Gerald left the lobby, he slowly walked towards the road and decided to call a taxi.
However, another voice called out to him. “Gerald? Are you waiting for the bus?
A Camry then stopped in front of him, with its windows down. It was Bianca, and next to her was Ava. And for the driver, it was a
dashing man who looked like he was of the same age as Gerald.
Gerald then remembered that Bianca had wanted to treat him to dinner, but Ava insisted that she followed along. Ava, on the
other hand, did not want to invite Gerald along, which was why he ended up at the real estate center. It appeared they had just
finished dinner.
“I’m on my way home!” Gerald replied.
He peeked at Ava, who seemed to be occupied with her phone. She pretended as if she didn’t see him. Gerald didn’t want to
greet her, as she was the one who didn’t like to acknowledge him in the first place.
“Oh, okay. Sorry again for today. Let’s set up a time tomorrow; I’ll treat you to something nice!” Bianca smiled apologetically.
“Yeah, that’s quite alright with me!” Gerald smiled back.
“We’ll be off now!” Bianca didn’t dare to ask Gerald to pool with them since this wasn’t her car after all.
The driver glared at Gerald and drove off immediately.
“Bianca, who was that? A friend?” The driver asked, visibly jealous.
The main reason why Ava invited Bianca to dinner was that the vice team leader had his eyes on her ever since she joined the
team. He wanted to get to know her even more through the dinner.
However, the dinner didn’t go as well as they had planned, and his advances were rather weak.
Bianca had only responded to him dismissively, which was why he seemed slightly irritated.
When he saw Gerald being able to talk to Bianca so casually, Nathaniel Chandler was green with envy.
“He’s my new colleague, Mr. Chandler,” Bianca said softly.
“Hah, haven’t I mentioned him to you previously? He’s Gerald, my junior high classmate!” In a cold tone, Ava added.

“Oh, that’s him. Then why didn’t you greet him just now, Ava?” Thinking back to what Ava had spoken of Gerald, Nathaniel felt
much lighter with relief.
“He’s not on our level, who cares honestly. Also, Bianca, please refrain from calling him your colleague. He’s not in the marketing
department. He’s in logistics!” Ava then turned to Bianca.
“Pfft, damn! I was just going to ask which team he had joined. Logistics? Really? Haha! Bianca, you should stay away from him
from now on. You two aren’t on the same level. You’re a white-collar, you know that right?” scoffed Nathaniel.
Within the investment department, also known as Dream Investment Group, employees were separated into different teams.
There was the research team, the analysis team, etc.
As for Ava, she was in charge of all of the groups, making her the manager. In Ava’s point of view, the logistics team was nothing
but a group of errand boys.
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 516
After some small talk, the three of them then returned to their homes.
When morning came, Gerald headed to the office earlier than usual. After stepping into the elevator, Gerald realized that there
was someone else in there with him. Turning to look to his side, he found out, to his annoyance, that he knew the man carrying
the briefcase who was also staring back at him. It was Nathaniel, the man who had been clinging on to Bianca the day before.
Nathaniel immediately shot a dirty glare at Gerald once he knew who was standing beside him. An awkward silence ensued
before Nathaniel finally said, “Hey, you’re the logistics guy, right? You’re acquainted with Bianca, huh?”
“Yeah, I befriended her yesterday,” replied Gerald dismissively. Gerald had seen how Nathaniel looked at him the day before,
and he knew that the man was definitely holding something against him. However, Gerald also knew that putting up with him was
only going to be a waste of time and effort.
“Heh, sure. Just keep your distance from her. She only treated you to dinner to be polite. As if she’d ever try to impress someone
from as low a class as you are,” he scoffed. Nathaniel felt that Gerald needed to be put in his place since Bianca would naturally
only deserve to be with men like him.
“And you should learn to mind your own business. Who do you even think you are? Talking about classes like you’re the one
who gets to decide that,” snapped Gerald in return. At that moment, a ‘ping’ was heard and the elevator doors slid open. Gerald
immediately walked out without even caring to look back at Nathaniel.

“Y-you motherf*cker! I’ll make sure that your life will be a living hell if it’s the last thing I do!” yelled Nathaniel, enraged. Nobody
had ever talked to him like that before and he wasn’t going to allow Gerald to just get away with it so easily.
While the anger continued to seep through Nathaniel, Gerald had already made it to his desk.
“Good morning, Gerald!” greeted a female voice.
“Morning!” replied Gerald with a smile as he switched his computer on. When he looked up to see who had greeted him, he was
delighted to know that it was Fay.
He remembered when he had bumped into Fay Foster on the day of his interview. He didn’t know that she was also part of the
team since she was out running errands when he first joined. “Fay! So you’re here too!”
From what Gerald now knew, the logistics team consisted of three people. A somewhat chubby male, Fay, and Gerald himself.
“Hehe... Gerald, right? I knew it was you the moment I saw your name on the list! Sadly, I couldn’t welcome you yesterday since
you guys had already left by the time I got back from running my errands. It seems like we’re colleagues now!” exclaimed Fay.
Before he could reply, a woman approached them. She pointed at Gerald before saying, “Hey, you there, help me out here. Take
this USB and download at least 20 movies into it. I’ll need it back by noon!”
Gerald looked at the fairly pretty, but somewhat cold and reserved woman who had cut into their conversation. To his surprise, it
was the same woman whom he had met briefly in the elevator the day before.
He remembered her mostly for her statement claiming that he wouldn’t even have a fighting chance to get employed.
Her name was Mina Miles, and she too was born and raised in Serene County.
While it was normal for those in the marketing department to have the logistics team run errands for them... Downloading
movies? Now that was just an absurd order.
“Miss Miles, I don’t think that it’s appropriate for me to be downloading movies during work. After all, I have other work to finish
up as well.”
“Pfft. Work? You call what you’re doing work? I’m just asking for a small favor and you’re already complaining? If I end up
missing my movie hours, you can kiss your job goodbye!” huffed Mina before slamming her USB onto his desk and leaving.

After she left, Fay motioned for him to come closer before whispering, “Hey, Gerald! You know how there are hidden rules in
every company right? Well, in this one, you should try your hardest not to get on her nerves. Do you even know who she is?”
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 517
“Who exactly is she?” asked Gerald.
“Well, Miss Miles is the godsister of the vice-head of the marketing department. It’d be best if you just watched out whenever
she’s around!” whispered Fay.
Gerald simply shrugged and proceeded to do as he had been told. Since he wanted to continue being undercover for as long as
he could, he may as well just listen to her. With that, he began downloading some movies.
“Hey, hey you! Logistics guy, what on earth are you doing?” asked a middle-aged man in a cold tone. His arms were folded
against his back. Since Gerald was seated near the lobby entrance, the man must have caught sight of Gerald’s computer
screen.
Behind the man, stood another employee, but this wasn’t just any regular employee. It was the vice team leader in Ava’s group
himself, Nathaniel. He seemed to be enjoying the show and he smirked as he said, “Mr. Murphy, it seems that this employee is
downloading movies during office hours! Haha! How ballsy! And to think that this is just his first day at work! Atrocious, I say!”
In an instant, Mr. Murphy was now standing directly behind Gerald. Though Gerald had managed to minimize the tab, he hadn’t
done so quickly enough to avoid Mr. Murphy’s sharp eyes!
As Mr. Murphy clicked on the tab, Gerald knew that he had no choice but to surrender this time. Mr. Murphy then proceeded to
yell angrily, “Who told you that you could download movies during working hours? What do you take our company as? What’s
your name?”
At that moment, everyone in the lobby, including the employees of the department team, came to see what the ruckus was
about. Bianca was among them and upon seeing Gerald getting lectured, she felt slightly embarrassed for him as well.
“It’s not like I wanted to!” protested Gerald.
“Oh really? Then what made you do it?” asked Mr. Murphy as he pressed into the issue.
“Miss Miles was the one who told me to download them!” shouted Gerald as he pointed toward Mina.

Gerald wasn’t afraid to get into trouble since his true purpose wasn’t to work there anyway. Knowing this, he was definitely not
going to take the blame for anyone, especially not for Mina. He also took the opportunity to observe how the superiors were
going to handle the situation.
Mina, as expected, was outraged. She had not expected such a low-level employee to actually report her to the higher-ups. Her
first reaction was to throw a file in Gerald’s direction before yelling, “How dare you accuse me?!”
It was clear as day that she was definitely at fault this time around. However, being as arrogant as she was, she would rather die
first than to admit her wrongdoings.
As Mina lunged toward Gerald as though she had gone mad, Mr. Murphy’s brows immediately furrowed and he shouted, “Cease

this immediately, Mina! What sort of behavior is this? Take your USB back and get back to work! If this happens again, know that
I won’t let you off that easily!”
He then glared at Gerald before leaving the scene.
Gerald was left shocked. She wasn’t even given a warning letter even though she had clearly gone against the company’s rules!
Nathaniel on the other hand, simply let out a sarcastic chuckle as he looked at Gerald. He left with a smug smile on his face as
though he had just won the lottery. Once the two of them left, the racket died down as soon as it had started.
Mina now held a tremendous grudge against Gerald. From the moment Mr. Murphy left, she would take any chance she could to
say passive-aggressive things to Gerald. At times, she would also simply resort to cursing at him without any good reason.
Her main goal was to make every word she threw toward Gerald sting, and though the entire department was aware of her
verbal abuse, none of them dared to speak up. Everyone was clearly afraid of her.
Gerald however, just went on with his work.
After some time, Gerald began feeling bored so he got up and headed for the gents. He would use the opportunity to stretch a
little as well. However, the moment he stepped into the restroom, he was greeted by the strong odor of cigarettes. It would
appear that quite a few employees were smoking in there.
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 518

“Heh, hey Nate! That new guy’s really screwed up big time, hasn’t he? Wait till his trial period ends. The department head is
definitely not letting him through!” said one of the smokers cockily.
“You got that right! He dared to get on Nate’s nerves. Nate’s definitely going to make that guy’s life a living nightmare as long as
he’s still here!” added another guy.
“Ballsy to say the least! I’ll screw with him too then!” said a third person.
“By the way guys, I have my eyes set on Bianca, so make sure none of you dare to even make the slightest move on her!”
echoed a familiar, arrogant voice.
“Wouldn’t dream of it, Nate!” said everyone else hiding in the washroom. They all then left one by one after throwing their
cigarette butts away.
Gerald had been hiding in one of the stalls himself, and he had overheard their entire conversation. The Nate they were talking
to was without a doubt, Nathaniel.
It was clear that Nathaniel was the one who had summoned Mr. Murphy to the office earlier. As the vice team leader, he would
definitely know about Mina’s habits in the office. After seeing her hand her USB over to Gerald and knowing how much of a hot-
tempered woman she was, Nathaniel had used that turn of events as a prime opportunity to humiliate him. What a cunning
b*stard that man was!
Though Gerald had heard rumors of employees playing dirty within the workforce, he hadn’t anticipated facing such treatment on
the very first day of work. Nathaniel clearly saw Gerald as a love rival now, and wanted him gone as soon as possible.
‘Well two can play at that game. You’re in for quite a show,’ Gerald thought to himself.
Gerald then continued with his day, despite having to deal with the added sour remarks from Mina. Sometime later after running
some errands, he returned to the office to find everyone standing at the entrance.
None of them seemed to be planning on leaving. Rather, they seemed to be waiting for someone to pick them up and a few of
them were even on their phones. Fay and the chubby guy from his team were waiting there as well.
“What are you guys waiting for?” asked Gerald with a smile.
“Huh? What do you mean? Didn’t you receive the text, Gerald?” asked Fay in return, clearly surprised.

“Text?”
“Well, the marketing department is hosting a welcome party for the newcomers! It’s for the two of you, you know? That’s why
we’re all here. I experienced it too when I first joined, and I had a really fun time!”
“I don’t think I’ve been informed about this at all, though,” replied Gerald as he checked for any new messages in his phone.
“Let me have a look!” Taking his phone, she scrolled through his first few messages and saw that he wasn’t lying. There really
weren’t any texts regarding the party.
Fay then took her own phone out and showed Gerald the message that she had received. It wrote, “Marketing Department:
welcome party of the month. Fay Foster: Room 202.”
‘Well this is absolutely uncalled for! They invited everyone but me!’ Gerald thought to himself. Though he knew that he shouldn’t
waste his time or energy being angry over such a trivial matter, he could still feel his blood boiling under his skin.
“Which room are you in, Gerald? Are we in the same one?” asked Bianca who was walking toward him.
“I wasn’t invited,” said Gerald in a calm tone before sighing slightly.
“What? That’s not possible. Maybe Miss Miles and Mr. Chandler simply forgot? I’ll ask them immediately!” replied Bianca. She
wasn’t going to just leave him out since both of them had joined the company together. The way she saw it, there was a special
bond between them because of that.
“It’s fine, really! You guys can just go on without me,” said Gerald as soon as he realized that it was both Mina and Nathaniel who
were organizing the event. It was clear that they didn’t invite him on purpose. As some of his female co-workers snickered,
Gerald simply walked out of the lobby with a slight hint of loneliness.
After reaching his hotel, Gerald was just about to take a long shower when he suddenly heard knocking on the door. “Mr.
Crawford? Are you there? Mr. Lyle sent me here!”
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 519
When he opened the door, Gerald was greeted by Zack Lyle’s secretary. She was here to have him sign a few contracts. Since
there were several projects in progress, the number of contracts to be signed had naturally increased as well.

“Hmm? Hold on, what’s this?” called Gerald out to the secretary just as she was about to leave. He noticed an envelope that she
had left on his desk. When he opened it, he saw a stack of concert tickets inside. From what he could tell, there were
approximately fifty of them.
“Ah, well, Mr. Crawford, since seven different projects are in progress right now, the company decided to organize a concert.
Around thirty singers have been invited, and that number doesn’t include the number of bands that are participating as well!”
explained the secretary with a smile.
“As Mr. Lyle said, you have several friends living here in Serene County. Thus, he told me to send a stack of tickets your way. If
any more are needed, Mr. Lyle would be more than happy to send the amount desired over!”
“That won’t be necessary. I don’t have that many friends in the first place. This will be enough,” said Gerald in a calm tone.
The secretary simply bowed before leaving. Unfortunately, though she had made sure to expose ample of her bosom as she
bowed, Gerald hadn’t seemed to take any notice of her efforts. With her attempt failed, she left feeling both slightly embarrassed
and disappointed.
“Who should I even give these to? Heh, Zack really knows how to run a business, what a considerate guy!” said Gerald to
himself as he chuckled. “Ah, I can send some over to Xeno and Sienna! I’ll give some to Fay tomorrow as well!”
It had been a long day at work and Fay had been the nicest person to him in the company so far. Gerald figured that it was only
fair to repay the favor.
After brushing his teeth, Gerald lay on his bed and began video chatting with Mila. It had been about two months since she had
gone abroad. If things went accordingly, she would be back within another month’s time.
After talking to each other for three hours straight, the call finally ended and Gerald was able to get a good night’s sleep. Morning
came soon enough, and Gerald was up early for work as per usual. By the time he arrived, quite a few of his colleagues were
already there.
They seemed to be discussing the party last night, and their chattering echoed throughout the office.
“Haha! That was the most fun I’ve had in a while! You know, you guys probably missed it, but when we went for karaoke, Ethan
was ready to kiss Leon! My sides still hurt thinking about it!”
“Hah! Also, remember how Greg tried to confess to Fay? That pervert tried to hug her just because she looked so gentle.
Nobody expected her to smack him hard on the face as soon as his arms encircled her. It was hilarious! You should’ve seen the

look on his face!”
A girl’s hushed voice was heard next. “I heard some juicy news myself last night while I was on my way to the bathroom!”
“Spill it, girl!” said another female curiously.
“Well, you know the vice team leader of the fourth team? Nathaniel Chandler? I think he confessed to the newbie, Bianca! He
even bought a big bouquet of flowers! Not only that, Ava was there too and she was acting as their wing-woman!”
“Hot d*mn! Now that’s juicy! What happened next? How did Bianca react?”
Everyone’s ears were perked as they awaited her answer.
“I don’t know! I wanted to stick around for a little longer but their team members saw me and I was forced out of the room! My
guess is that she rejected him though!” continued the girl.
“That’s just your guess though.”
“Well it is, but you should’ve seen how desperate Nathaniel was last night. He somehow found out that Bianca liked Ashley, the
singer! He knew that Ashley, alongside several other famous singers and bands, was going to participate in a concert here soon,
so he told her that he’d get a ticket for her no matter what!”
“Oh lord, really? I heard that the pricing for that concert’s tickets is crazy! You’d need at least three hundred dollars to sit in the
last row! I’m telling you, even if he has the money, it’d be nearly impossible for him to land a ticket!”

The more the girls discussed it, the more disappointed they became. The concert was being advertised not only on every social
media platform, but also on multiple billboards. Everyone knew about it, and everyone was also aware of how the ticket prices
were skyrocketing as they spoke, even for just the final row seats.
Though three hundred dollars had been the original price set by the organizers for the final row seats, some re-sellers were
selling them for over nine hundred dollars! Even if you had the money, the market for the tickets was so competitive that the right
connections were equally as important!
Several celebrities had been invited to the concert, including the current top-ranking boy bands. Everyone wanted to snag a
ticket just to be able to see their favorite idols perform live. Most of these people, however, knew that in the end, they would only

be able to watch the concert online.
“If he really manages to get his hands on some tickets, Bianca definitely needs to accept his offer, right? Oh! And you can bet
that Mina will be trying to get herself a ticket too! She probably won’t even consider coming to work that day! She simply adores
Kai to the point where her phone is filled with reality shows and movies with him in them! She won’t let the chance slip by her
that easily!” The chattering continued to echo through the office.
Not too long after, the office started getting crowded as more and more people arrived for work. By then, Fay had arrived as well.
“Morning, Gerald!” said Fay with a weak smile. She seemed to be in a bad mood.
“Morning, Fay!” replied Gerald with his own smile. From what he had heard earlier, he knew that Fay didn’t exactly have a good
time yesterday, so he refrained from asking her why she was looking blue.
“Oh, by the way, Gerald, I seem to have bought too many buns. Have you eaten? I don’t think I can finish all of these... Would
you like some?” offered Fay.
“Why thank you! I actually haven’t had breakfast yet!” replied Gerald as he took a bun for himself and bit into it rather greedily.
As he watched her turn her computer on, Gerald noticed that her desktop background was that of a famous celebrity. Curious,
Gerald asked, “Hey Fay, do you like that celebrity? I heard that she’s going to be performing at the concert!”
Turning to look at him, she nodded with a smile before taking a sip of soy milk. “I am! And I’m excited about the concert too! You
know, back when I was still in high school, my biggest dream was to earn enough money to attend one of her concerts and hear
her sing live! However, looking at the ticket prices, it doesn’t seem like I’ll be achieving that goal any time soon... Like, for real!
Nine hundred dollars for a ticket? Are you kidding me? I can’t afford to go broke for a concert!” she said with a sigh, visibly
disappointed.
Gerald then took another big bite into his bun and with his mouth full, he said, “I actually have a few relevant connections, so if
you want, I could get you a ticket!”
Since she was a nice girl in general and she had even offered him some buns for breakfast, Gerald saw no problem with giving
her a ticket. Besides, he had so many of them that it would truly be a waste if he only kept them to himself.
“...Wait, what? For real?” exclaimed Fay. Though her eyes sparkled with excitement at that moment, they soon reflected a slight
skepticism. “Hey, you’re pulling my leg, aren’t you Gerald? Or is there some kind of catch?”

“I’m not kidding! Here, have it!” he replied as he took a ticket out of his bag and handed it to her. “That’s a ticket for the middle
row! Since that area is slightly elevated, it shouldn’t be too crowded there and you’ll be able to take lots of nice photos! What
more, you’ll be able to see your favorite singer from up there clearly!”
“...H-huh?” Fay was stunned. She hadn’t expected him to be serious.
“G-Gerald! I... T-thank you so much!” stuttered Fay as she took the ticket from him with trembling hands. She wanted to pay him
back, but Gerald simply refused, insisting that she took it for free.
After finishing his breakfast, Gerald felt slightly thirsty so he decided to go to the water dispenser. Just as he was about to get up,
another group of employees entered the office.
“Ugh! This is so unfair!” said an irritated female voice as she stomped all the way to her seat. She slammed her purse onto her
desk the moment she got to it, and everyone there was startled.
“What’s wrong, Miss Mina?” asked an employee.
The woman causing the ruckus was of course, Mina Miles.
