[Chapter 63]
"What?! Mila, you want to bring Gerald with you?" Whitney asked in surprise.
Gerald was also slightly surprised at this time. Through their short-term contact today, Gerald already knew that Mila was the kind of girl who had a very kind and gracious heart. She did not look down on the poor, and she was not the type of person who disliked the poor and loved the rich. As long as it was a good person, Mila would treat them as her good friend.
Mila was a sharp contrast in comparison to Whitney, and she was also a very considerate person.
However, Gerald was not interested in attending the dinner with Victor, Whitney, and the rest of their group of friends.
Not one bit!
Mila nodded before she said, "Whitney, Gerald helped me out a lot today. That is the reason why I invited all of you out for dinner tonight. Of course, Gerald has to come today!"
"Why don't you all go out and have fun without me instead?" Gerald replied as he smiled at Mila. Naturally, he understood Mila's intentions for inviting him to join them for dinner tonight.
"No, you have to come!" Truthfully, Mila had another purpose for inviting Gerald to tag along for the dinner tonight. How could she possibly not know of Victor's intentions and interest in her?
This was the only way for her to stay away from Victor as she did not like Victor at all.
At this time, Victor had a very ugly and dissatisfied expression on his face.
He could not say that he would not allow Gerald to attend the dinner tonight, and he could not possibly allow Mila to bear the costs.
Even if Gerald were to come for the dinner tonight, Victor would never allow Mila to pay for the dinner.
Was he that ungentlemanly?!
Therefore, Victor replied bitterly, "Mila, it's settled then. I will buy you dinner tonight. You did not follow us for lunch at Homeland Kitchen the last time, so you have to come along with us for dinner tonight. As for Gerald, he can come if he wants to…"
Mila nodded slightly.
Whitney glared at Gerald as she said, "Hmph! You're lucky that Victor is allowing you to join us for dinner tonight! However, you should remember that the only reason you're invited to dinner tonight is because you helped Mila. Otherwise, you should not even be dreaming about it!"
After saying that, Whitney turned around to look at Mila before she said, "Mila, I will see you tonight then!"
As soon as she was done speaking, Whitney turned around and left with Victor.
'Ugh!' Gerald could not help but sigh in his heart.
If this was the case, there was nothing else he could do but tag along for the dinner.
As Gerald did not want to think of anything else, he simply focused on his training.
He continued practicing his driving until late in the evening.
Whitney came to pick Mila up in Victor's car.
Quite a few people were joining them for dinner that night, and most of them were the boys and girls who were also close to Victor as they were part of the student union.
Quinn and Nathaniel were also amongst the crowd of people joining them for dinner.
They arrived at Homeland Kitchen after a short drive. Victor was very generous and had already booked a very luxurious and exquisite room for them.
Gerald simply followed them into the room without saying anything at all.
Gerald did not pay much attention to his surroundings and did not even notice a waiter glancing at him as he walked passed him. The waiter had a surprised look on his face before he hurried downstairs for inexplicable reasons.
"Mm. I guess this must be the first time someone has ever stepped foot into this restaurant. I'm afraid that he will not have a second chance to do so!"
Everyone was very excited at this time. Moreover, Quinn was glancing at Gerald as she targeted her sarcastic remark at him.
"Quinn, you're wrong. Gerald has already been here before. He bought his classmates dinner here last time, and I heard that he spent a lot of money here that night!"
Whitney quickly replied as she explained what she recalled the last time.
Quinn and Nathaniel were both very surprised when they heard Whitney's words.
At this time, Whitney continued talking about how Gerald had won the lottery and immediately splurged on his classmates.
Everyone could not help but stare at Gerald as though they were looking at an idiot.
Gerald could not be bothered to explain himself to them and simply sat quietly in the corner.
"Did you win the lottery?" Mila suddenly asked in surprise.
