Gerald Crawford: The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 526

Gerald was familiar with Waylon's family. Since when had they opened a company that was completely unrelated to their family's business?

After some thorough investigation, Gerald found that there was a problem and he immediately sent a message to Zack to have him double-check for him. "Come on, tell me. What did you find?" said Fay with a smile. It was just a background check after all. Why did Gerald make it sound so grand?

"You wouldn't get it, but just know that I've found something big!" said Gerald before chuckling.

At that moment, Gerald received a call from Ava which surprised him slightly.

"Gerald? Are you doing anything after work tonight?" asked Ava as soon as he picked up.

"Why? What do you need?" asked Gerald rather coldly.

Though Gerald used to treat Ava kindly, her constant cold behavior toward him made him want to treat her equally as coldly.

"Well, I was thinking of treating you to dinner. You've joined the company for two days now and I still haven't treated you to a meal. So... care to have dinner with me tonight?" asked Ava with a smile on the other side of the line.

"Who else will be there?" asked Gerald in return. He knew that Ava was definitely up to something. However, since Ava and Stuart were so close to each other, he felt that this would be a prime opportunity to get to know more about them.

"It'll just be the both of us! Nobody else!" replied Ava.

Shortly after, both of them agreed on a meeting time and place before she hung up.

Ava didn't return to her desk for the rest of the day. Once Gerald clocked out, he headed for the agreed meeting place. It was just a small restaurant that wasn't too far off from the office.

As he entered a small, private dining area, he saw Ava. He was surprised, to say the least. She had been true to her word, as she was the only one waiting for him there.

"Over here, Gerald! Come, have a seat! What do you think of this place? It's pretty good, right?" said Ava with a smile as she opened a bottle of red wine and poured some out for Gerald.

"It's definitely a pretty nice place. What's the special occasion though? I wouldn't have minded going somewhere cheaper!" replied Gerald with a slightly wry smile.

"How could I ever treat you to something cheap? Also, just so you know, I've constantly wanted to have a personal conversation with you in the past two days. However, the office just didn't seem to be a convenient place to talk! Now that we're alone, it's about time we both got caught up with the good old days!" said Ava as she inched closer to Gerald, her elbow gently nudging his.

What exactly was this girl up to? Gerald had not the slightest clue.

However, he did notice how flirty Ava was being with him. She had even tried to figure out how he got those tickets earlier along with his other colleagues. 'Catching up on the good old days' was definitely not her true intention.

After drinking and talking for quite a bit, Gerald's face began turning red as he grew tipsy.

"Ava, I think I've had enough. We've been drinking way too much!" said Gerald as he shook his head.

"Alright then, shall we get going? Ah, could you send me back, Gerald?"

"Sure!"

After Ava settled the bill, Gerald accompanied her back to her place.

He hadn't been able to find out what she was up to since she kept avoiding answering his questions.

After Ava arrived home safely, Gerald was just about to leave when she grabbed his arm.

"Gerald, don't leave!"
