[Chapter 46]
After all, Alice was the one who had brought him here and if Xavia continued ridiculing Gerald, then it would really embarrass her.
After all, only an owner should be able to hit their own dog, right?
"Come, why don't you sit here? Since Yuri and Xavia are also from the same university, all of you should sit together!"
Quinton brought Gerald and everyone else to a huge table. After that, he assigned them one by one so they could sit down. Yuri and Xavia did not decline sitting with them because if they sat with them, Xavia would be able to show off!
However, as soon as Yuri and Xavia arrived, the table that could actually accommodate fifteen people suddenly became slightly crowded. The six of them in Alice's dormitory, five of them in Harper's dormitory, and Naomi would make up a total of twelve people. At this time, Xavia, Yuri, and Quinton would also be sitting at this table.
Therefore, this naturally meant that there would be no space for Gerald at all.
"Oh no! This is really embarrassing! Brother Gerald, I'm sorry but there isn't a seat left for you."
Quinton smiled coldly before he behaved as though he felt very apologetic at this time.
Harper hurriedly said, "Gerald, why don't you come over here and squeeze with us instead?"
"It wouldn't be nice for us to squeeze together. After all, many wealthy and powerful people come to this place. If we squeezed together, it wouldn't look good at all…"
Quinton scratched his head and he could not help but sigh at this time. "I was originally planning to sit here with all of you so we could chat and talk before I go up on stage to participate in the opening ceremony. Since I won't be eating anyway, I will just go up on stage and Gerald can take my seat instead!"
"No way! No way! Absolutely not!" Jacelyn and the other girls yelled immediately. "If you give up your seat to Gerald, then he will be sitting between Alice and I! Absolutely not! Moreover, we don't want you to leave, Brother Quinton! We still want to listen to more of your stories and gain some insight from you!"
Everyone continued speaking, one after the other and this placed Gerald in a very difficult position.
Damn it!
He would definitely take his revenge on them later.
Gerald could not help but feel a little hatred in his heart. He was about to leave at this time so that he did not need to look at their faces anymore. After all, he was already in a bad mood.
At this time, the host's voice suddenly sounded on stage:
"Quiet! Everyone, please be quiet. Tonight…"
The opening ceremony is about to begin and the host was giving his speech at this time. Everyone quickly took their own seats and the atmosphere in the banquet hall was very quiet at this time.
Gerald did not have a seat and he was standing awkwardly in the middle of the banquet hall. Naturally, he attracted the attention of many people.
"Oh my god. Look at that person. Why is he just standing there in such an awkward manner?"
"Is he a waiter? No, he doesn't look like a waiter. Just look at the way he's dressed! Do you think that he secretly sneaked in here to steal food and drinks?"
"Hahaha! This is so embarrassing. That poor man has no seat? How did the Ziegler family plan their opening ceremony? Why is their guest standing awkwardly in the center of the banquet hall with no allocated seat?"
A few of the guests started whispering among themselves.
At the same time, at one of the main tables closer to the stage, a group of young men and women were seated together at this time. This table was usually reserved for people with distinguished statuses and strong family backgrounds.
The banquet hall in Grand Marshall Restaurant was very large and even though Quinton was the one who had personally arranged the table for Alice and her friends, he could only get a table in the center of the banquet hall for her.
Therefore, this group of young men and women were obviously very wealthy and powerful.
One of the young men smiled at another young man who was dressed in white before he said, "Brother Aiden, Sister Elena, look at that! I think that Grand Marshall Restaurant messed up today! Hahaha! Someone had actually come in here to beg for food!"
The young men dressed in white quickly raised his head as he glanced at the direction that his companion was pointing at.
After that, he rubbed his eyes to confirm that he was not seeing things before he exclaimed, "Damn it! It's Mr. Crawford!"
As soon as she heard the words 'Mr. Crawford', Elena, who had always been very cold and indifferent, suddenly raised her head because she was startled. In fact, Elena could still remember how Gerald looked when she saw him the first time.
"It's really him!" Elena muttered to herself.
