Slumdog Billionaire Husband by Rayden Berg

Chapter 748 Stunned

Gerald was a little annoyed.

It was not a big deal to bring a best friend for a blind date, but Elsie’s best friend Carlos was a male.

Furthermore, after they arrived, Elsie only said a few words, but Carlos kept asking questions all the

time. Gerald had naturally neglected Elsie. He just wanted to end this blind date quickly and wait to

meet the next lady who had been arranged at night.

Elsie noticed that Gerald seemed to be a little unhappy, so she tried to break the ice and said, “Oh,

Carlos is just worried that I will not live well in the future. Please excuse him.”

Gerald glanced at Elsie indifferently. Just then, the dishes had been served gradually.

At the same time, Gerald’s phone rang again.

Gerald looked at the phone screen and found the caller was Valery again.

When he just picked up the call, Valery hung up again.

Gerald frowned. He sent a Line message to Valery. It read: “What’s up? Why did you hang up again?”

Valery did not reply to his Line message.

Meanwhile, opposite him, Elsie and Carlos had already started eating, without saying anything to

Gerald.

Gerald was dumbfounded that they were sharing food on their plates with each other. Gerald did not

know what to say. He felt like he was the third wheel, and they were more like a couple.

Gerald cleared his throat and said, “Ms. Rubio, excuse me.”

Elsie looked up and said, “Huh?”

Gerald said calmly, “Well, I don’t think we match each other. After this meal, we can go back and

explain to the elders. You can just tell your parents that you don’t like me. Is that OK with you?”

Hearing that Gerald took the initiative to reject her, Elsie, who had looked down on Gerald during the

process of questions and answers, suddenly had a little bad mood.

Carlos tittered and then said, “it doesn’t matter. I’ll introduce you to someone rich and handsome

another

day.”

Elsie glanced at Gerald indifferently and said, “Okay, then you go to pay the bill.”

“Pay the bill?” Gerald curled his lips and said, “We three should split the bill. I’ll settle one-third of the

bill. No

problem, right?”

Elsie and Carlos were stunned. Then a trace of displeasure appeared on Elsie’s face. Beside her,

Carlos tittered and said, “So you’re a pauper. Unexpectedly, you request to split the bill on a blind date.

Well, you are already 27 or 28, so you’re probably just a common employee at Universe Group.”

Gerald did not bother to argue with Carlos. Looking at the food on the table, he felt a little hungry. Then

he

took off his mask and was going to have some bites.

When he just took off his mask, his phone rang. It was another call from Valery.

Just like the former calls, when Gerald picked up. Valery directly hung up again.

It seemed that Valery didn’t want to talk to Gerald but just wanted to disturb Gerald’s blind date and

screw it

1.

Gerald had a strange look on his face. Just then, Elsie and Carlos, who were sitting opposite Gerald,

shrank their pupils slightly and fixed their eyes on Gerald.

Gerald knew that they would recognize him when he took off his mask.

“You… really are… Gerald!” Carlos was shocked, with a trace of horror on his face.

Elsie’s pretty face was also full of astonishment.

Gerald looked at them indifferently, grabbed some food on his plate, and ate them up quickly. Then he

looked up at Elsie and said, “I will pay one-third of the bill and leave the rest to you. We are indeed not

a good fit. Please go back and tell the introducer.”

With that, Gerald cast an indifferent glance at Carlos and said, “In addition, if you go on a blind date

next time, don’t bring your close guy friend with you. He is just like a fucking fly that keeps buzzing

around. It seems he is the one on the blind date. Of course, I think you two are a good match, so you

don’t have to go on

blind dates.”

“He…” Elsie got anxious immediately.

Elsie thought, this is not anyone else but Gerald!

Putting aside his status as a hero for mankind, the assets behind him were huge. Regarding Gerald’s

assets, when Night Watch put a commercial to attract young people to join them previously, many of

Gerald’s assets were announced to the public, including the shareholders behind Universe Group.

“Carlos is just my best friend. There is no other relationship between us,” Elsie hurriedly explained.

If Elsie did somewhat look down on Gerald previously, she regretted it the moment she saw Gerald

taking off

his mask.

Elsie regretted the interrogation of Gerald by Carlos just now, as well as bringing Carlos here.

Elsie had her own thoughts about bringing Carlos here.

Carlos was handsome and kind of rich. Elsie wanted to make a comparison during the blind date, and

at the

same time, show off her advantages to the blind date.

However, she had never expected that her blind date was Gerald.

Gerald had no interest in Elsie’s explanation. He did not want to speak to the two weirdos at all. After

eating

a little food, Gerald put on his mask and sunglasses, went to the cashier’s counter, and directly paid

one-third

of the bill.

Carlos was completely stunned, and his back was covered with sweat.

Carlos’ mind was full of scenes of Gerald fighting with the Elite Ghosts. In his heart, Gerald was simply

a

fierce warrior.

And just now, Carlos was aggressively interrogating Gerald.

Fortunately, Gerald did not make things difficult for Carlos but just embarrassed him with a few words.

Seeing Gerald leave, Elsie pursed her lips, looked at Carlos, and complained, “What are you doing? He

is such a nice blind date, but you irritated him. If I had known, I would not have brought you here.”

It was not until then that Carlos recovered from the shock. He smiled bitterly and said, “Didn’t you ask

me to come over and inquire about his background? I didn’t expect him to be Gerald, either.”

Elsie stamped her feet, with her face full of regret.

Gerald was naturally not interested in their later reactions. He paid one-third of the bill and walked out

of the restaurant. Gerald was going to find an internet café to play games for a while and then wait to

go on the other blind date in the evening.

The blind date in the evening was also appointed in that restaurant. Gerald prayed that he would not

meet any weirdo again.

“Beep, beep, beep…”

Gerald’s phone rang again. He picked up the phone. It was called from Valery again.

“Hello,” Gerald just answered, and Valery directly hung up again.

Gerald was speechless. He called back, but Valery directly hung up.

Gerald walked to the side, opened the chat group of Team 11762, and texted: “Shit! I met a weirdo.

She is quite beautiful, but she brought her male best friend to come on the blind date with me. Damn it!

It seemed that it was that guy who was on a blind date with me. He was interrogating me like crazy,

and I was pissed off. So I directly paid one-third of the bill and left.”

Theo cursed, “What the hell! So you failed just like that? Didn’t they recognize you?”

“We took the seats in the hall. I was afraid of causing a commotion, so I didn’t take off my mask, Gerald

said

with embarrassment.

“What a pity!”

“I’ve seen many women like this. They feel embarrassed to ask about the blind date’s situation, so they

bring

their besties to go on blind dates. But it’s the first time I’ve heard of bringing a male best friend!” Theo

said

with a chuckle.

In the headquarters of Night Watch, Valery looked at the constantly beating words on her phone. When

she saw that Gerald’s blind date had failed, a hint of a smile appeared on her cold face. Then, she

snorted coldly

and thought, did he say that he would go on another blind date tonight?

Thinking of this, Valery frowned. In the end, Valery seemed to have made up her mind to do something.

She took out her phone, found Gerald’s phone number, and dialed again.

On the other side, Gerald looked at the flashing caller’s name on his phone and answered the call

again, “Dr. Manning, stop playing with me.”

“Humph, why did you go on a blind date? You break your word,” said Valery in a cold voice.

“My family is pushing me hard. I can’t help it. I wanted to…”

Valery interrupted Gerald and said indifferently, “Don’t go on the blind date tonight. Let’s get married.”
