Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 355
“Sorry, there were just too many people in the library earlier for my comfort! I just studied in my dormitory!”
replied Gerald.
“Oh, I see! Well, from now on, we can go to the library earlier. Whoever comes first can reserve a seat for the
other, alright?”
“Actually there’s something I have to attend to now, I’ll get back to you later!”
Gerald threw his cell phone aside after replying to her message.
He was indeed, trying to avoid her. In fact, ever since things had gotten better with Mila, Gerald had been
deliberately trying to keep his distance from other girls.
After all, once the current exams were over, Gerald and the other students from his department would still have to
stay back in school for another three months to deal with their thesis and dissertations.
Those from Giya’s and most other departments would have left to get their internships during that time.

Gerald also knew for a fact that he could never fit in well in Giya’s circle of friends.
With that reasoning in mind, his muddled thoughts became clear and he didn’t spend time worrying about it any
longer.
After that, two days just came and went without much of a hitch.
During those two days, Giya would always send him a message in the morning and the afternoon, saying that she
had already reserved a seat for him in the library and that she was waiting for him to come study with her.
Every time she asked, Gerald simply made up an excuse to turn her down.
Aside from that, she had also been inviting him for meals to express her gratitude. Since she knew that he would be
uncomfortable if Tammy and the other girls were around, there was even a time when she asked if he wanted to
eat with just the two of them together.
However, Gerald simply turned those invitations down as well with more of his excuses.
After that, Giya stopped asking him out. In the next three days, he didn’t hear from her at all.
It almost seemed as though she had disappeared.
Gerald didn’t think too much about it. He simply focused on studying and doing his own revision every day. He
would also spend his time chatting with Mila about her recent developments.
Everything was back to normal.
Late one afternoon, Gerald was returning to school after meeting up with Zack. He stopped by the milk tea shop in
front of the school as he was planning to get Harper and the other boys some drinks.
“Gerald?”
Out of the blue, a female voice called out to him.
When he turned around, he saw that it was Tammy. It seemed as though she was waiting in line to buy milk tea as
well. Though she looked slightly surprised to see him there, she also had a very bitter expression on her face.
In the past, she would always laugh and tease him whenever she saw him.
However, the only look she was giving him now, was one filled with hatred.
Gerald didn’t mind that. His milk tea was ready at that moment. He smiled at Tammy before saying, “I’ll pay for this
beautiful girl’s drink as well!”
“Alright!” replied the seller with a smile on his face.

she glared at Gerald.
“I… Tammy, what did I do?” asked Gerald, confused.
“So you don’t even know what you’ve done, huh. Don’t you realize how many times you’ve already rejected Giya’s
invitations?” growled Tammy angrily as she frowned.
Gerald coughed. He knew this was coming.
“Do you know that Giya would wake twenty minutes earlier every day just so that she could go to the library and
reserve a seat for you? When we asked her why, she told us that you would be joining us at the library to study
together in the future. But you never came. You just kept making dumb excuses!”
“Even during her afternoon study invitations, she would always bring fruits along saying that she had already
notified you about studying together. But of course you didn’t go!”
“You did it to Giya for two days in a row! Don’t even talk about the times Giya tried inviting you out for meals. She
was so afraid that you just weren’t used to eating out, that she even ordered and booked some food for you from
the cafeteria! She just wanted to have lunch with you and she didn’t even allow us to join her since she was afraid
that we would tease you too much. Even then, you still refused to accept her invitation!”
