Gerald Crawford: The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 517

"Who exactly is she?" asked Gerald.

"Well, Miss Miles is the godsister of the vice-head of the marketing department. It'd be best if you just watched out whenever she's around!" whispered Fay.

Gerald simply shrugged and proceeded to do as he had been told. Since he wanted to continue being undercover for as long as he could, he may as well just listen to her. With that, he began downloading some movies.

"Hey, hey you! Logistics guy, what on earth are you doing?" asked a middle-aged man in a cold tone. His arms were folded against his back. Since Gerald was seated near the lobby entrance, the man must have caught sight of Gerald's computer screen.

Behind the man, stood another employee, but this wasn't just any regular employee. It was the vice team leader in Ava's group himself, Nathaniel. He seemed to be enjoying the show and he smirked as he said, "Mr. Murphy, it seems that this employee is downloading movies during office hours! Haha! How ballsy! And to think that this is just his first day at work! Atrocious, I say!"

In an instant, Mr. Murphy was now standing directly behind Gerald. Though Gerald had managed to minimize the tab, he hadn't done so quickly enough to avoid Mr. Murphy's sharp eyes!

As Mr. Murphy clicked on the tab, Gerald knew that he had no choice but to surrender this time. Mr. Murphy then proceeded to yell angrily, "Who told you that you could download movies during working hours? What do you take our company as? What's your name?"

At that moment, everyone in the lobby, including the employees of the department team, came to see what the ruckus was about. Bianca was among them and upon seeing Gerald getting lectured, she felt slightly embarrassed for him as well.

"It's not like I wanted to!" protested Gerald.

"Oh really? Then what made you do it?" asked Mr. Murphy as he pressed into the issue.

"Miss Miles was the one who told me to download them!" shouted Gerald as he pointed toward Mina.

Gerald wasn't afraid to get into trouble since his true purpose wasn't to work there anyway. Knowing this, he was definitely not going to take the blame for anyone, especially not for Mina. He also took the opportunity to observe how the superiors were going to handle the situation.

Mina, as expected, was outraged. She had not expected such a low-level employee to actually report her to the higher-ups. Her first reaction was to throw a file in Gerald's direction before yelling, "How dare you accuse me?!"

It was clear as day that she was definitely at fault this time around. However, being as arrogant as she was, she would rather die first than to admit her wrongdoings.

As Mina lunged toward Gerald as though she had gone mad, Mr. Murphy's brows immediately furrowed and he shouted, "Cease this immediately, Mina! What sort of behavior is this? Take your USB back and get back to work! If this happens again, know that I won't let you off that easily!"

He then glared at Gerald before leaving the scene.

Gerald was left shocked. She wasn't even given a warning letter even though she had clearly gone against the company's rules!

Nathaniel on the other hand, simply let out a sarcastic chuckle as he looked at Gerald. He left with a smug smile on his face as though he had just won the lottery. Once the two of them left, the racket died down as soon as it had started.

Mina now held a tremendous grudge against Gerald. From the moment Mr. Murphy left, she would take any chance she could to say passive-aggressive things to Gerald. At times, she would also simply resort to cursing at him without any good reason.

Her main goal was to make every word she threw toward Gerald sting, and though the entire department was aware of her verbal abuse, none of them dared to speak up. Everyone was clearly afraid of her. Gerald however, just went on with his work.

After some time, Gerald began feeling bored so he got up and headed for the gents. He would use the opportunity to stretch a little as well. However, the moment he stepped into the restroom, he was greeted by the strong odor of cigarettes. It would appear that quite a few employees were smoking in there.
