Gerald Crawford: The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 432

Everyone was stunned. In their minds, they were all thinking the same thing.

'...What? That's such a drastic change! And so quickly too!'

"...Xella, I definitely think that someone's been pulling the strings behind the scenes to help you... Otherwise, why would your boss even step forward to deal with the pervert in the first place? Investigating the matter doesn't require the boss's involvement and yet he still called your personal number to apologize! What more, the pervert's been fired!"

"I agree. You said it yourself that the decision was made by the superiors. Someone must definitely have used their connections to do this!"

Rae and the others were openly discussing their speculations now.

"I think that's the case as well. It's extremely difficult to get appointed as a potential trainee for the personnel department. I can't help but wonder who has that much power to make even the boss and my superiors take action..." said Xella as she rubbed her temple gently.

Suddenly, she froze before looking up and fixing her gaze on Gerald.

"Gerald!" she unconsciously shouted as she stood up.

"...Eh? Gerald?"

Everyone else in the room looked at him in shock.

Gerald had not expected Xella's reaction, even though she was right.

Earlier when the rest were discussing among themselves, Gerald had left the wardroom to give Zach a call. Zach was ordered to resolve the issue as soon as he could.

Now that everything had been resolved, it surprised Gerald that Xella could guess the truth so quickly.

"I think I know who helped me, Gerald!" she said as she walked toward him.

"You know, thinking back, on our way here you had said that we shouldn't look down on others since they may be the only people who can help us in the end, even though we had initially looked down on them. Thank you for reminding me about this Gerald!" Xella continued to express her gratitude to Gerald.

'You think you know who helped you?' Gerald thought to himself. Did that mean that the cat wasn't out of the bag yet?

She then began explaining. "I was hired by the deputy manager from the personnel department. He's a diligent young manager and every time we meet, he nods slightly and says a simple greeting. Though it doesn't sound like much, I think that he's been the one helping me a lot in secret!"

"At first, I simply thought that he was an honest and well-behaved man who only focused his attention on his work. Thinking back, however, he may be much more humble and sophisticated than I thought. I'm saying this now because I heard from my colleagues the other day that he may not be who he portrays himself to be!" said Xella.

Gerald's confusion was cleared the moment she finished her explanation. So she had guessed wrong after all, though it didn't really bother him.

Xella however, still felt the need to confirm her theory so she called up a close female colleague of hers.

"Hello? Lyla? Do you still remember our talk about the deputy manager from the personnel department? I think I remember you saying that he's a cousin to a superior? Alright. Yeah, it's nothing. Thanks! You can resume your work now!"

After hanging up, Xella looked so excited that even her eyes were now teary.

"Xella? Are you really sure it was him? Does he like you or something?" asked Rae, her inevitable jealousy firing up again.

"Whether he likes me or not, I'm unsure. However, I'm sure that he's helped me several times in secret by now. He must have been one of the first people to find out that I was getting fired! Whatever the case, I'll ask him to clarify all this when I get to work tomorrow!"

"I'm so jealous of all of you. Morgana was helped by Cameron so she's now an official doctor while Xella has both Waylon and the deputy manager constantly aiding her! Sharon even has a rich heir as her partner! I don't have anything that fancy!" said Rae while biting her lower lip in jealousy. She glanced at the tycoon once without saying anything else.

Morgana could only smile bitterly at her statement while she consoled Rae.

"Don't say that, Rae. The tycoon isn't that bad! Also, since you're so free standing there, could you get some hot water?" asked Morgana as she turned to look at Gerald. 'Really? Everyone else is standing here doing nothing too!' Gerald sighed as he thought to himself.

Still, he couldn't refuse so he simply walked over to a table with an empty glass jug on it.

"Dr. Lopez, both the president and the vice president are coming to the ward now!" said a nurse who had stuck her head into the room. After passing the message, she left. "Eh? The president is coming?" asked Morgana, shocked.

Waylon was shocked as well. "Maybe the president found out that I had been admitted to the hospital so he's coming over to pay me a visit. Xella, come help me up. My dad is acquainted with the president so I need to look my best."

Seconds ago, Waylon was honestly still angry that his moment had been snatched away by Xella's deputy manager.

However, knowing that the president was personally coming over to meet him calmed his rage slightly. As Xella supported him, he slowly got to his feet, feeling slightly excited.

Gerald on the other hand, wanted to leave the room since the number of people there was going to increase again. He grabbed the jug and headed for the door to get some hot water.

At that moment, the door opened and in front of him, was the president himself.

"Oh? Mr. Crawford, what are you doing here?"
