Ch 186

[Chapter 186]

"Why are you in such a rush? I haven't even finished filling in the form yet. I'll answer it when I'm done!"

There were a lot of people who would call him up. Normally, Gerald would answer the call right away.

But he did not want to do so, seeing how anxious Jacob became.

By the way, Gerald had eaten twice with Mr. Raine before. They knew about each other well.

They did not have to be so civil toward each other.

"Why are you still filling in the form? Go and pick it up! Why is Mr. Raine calling you up? Faster pick it up!"

The call went dead.

Nobody answered the call for a long time, so it was hung up directly.

Jacob sneered. "Gerald, you're indeed a dumb person! You deserve it for being…"

The phone rang again.

"Come! Faster pick up the phone!"

This time around, Jacob quickly snatched the pen in Gerald's hand away directly.

He then helped Gerald to answer the phone and put it near his ear.

However, Gerald did not even stretch his hand out to take the phone from Jacob. He sat there just like that. On the other hand, Jacob leaned toward Gerald and held the phone in his hand, holding it near Gerald's ear. That scene appeared rather hilarious.

But Jacob could not care less about other stuff for the sake of his future.

He did not care what business Mr. Raine had on his mind, calling Gerald up. He decided to greet Mr. Raine at the end of the call.

"Mr. Raine, hello!"

Gerald smiled slightly.

"Gerald, I called you just now. Why didn't you pick it up? Are you busy?"

Bernard smiled and said.

Bernard had met Gerald a few times, and he had quite a good impression of Gerald.

The moment Gerald heard about the project of doing charity by establishing Scothow Elementary School, he promised to take the whole project over without any hesitation. He even provided the funds immediately.

Besides, a rich youth like him was such a friendly and humble person. Bernard soon got quite close to him.

"Hmm, I was busy filling in the drop out application from just now. The department director has prohibited me from studying here from now on! By the way, Mr. Raine, what's the matter?"

Gerald smiled. He thought that it was a call from Zack, but he never thought that it was Mr. Raine after all.

"You…"

Jacob wanted so badly to cover Gerald's mouth.

From the way Gerald addressed Mr. Raine, Jacob started to feel quite nervous.

'Oh my God! They have quite a close relationship."

Hearing what Gerald said, Jacob became much nervous.

"It's like this. Our project regarding the Scowthow Elementary School has been delayed before because of insufficient funding.

Now it's almost fully built. We'll be able to use it after two more months. I called you up just to see if you're free tomorrow. Please come over because we'll have a small function here!"

"Fine, no problem!" Gerald nodded.

"No, it seems that something is wrong. Gerald, what did you say just now? A drop out application form?"

Only now did Bernard recover his senses and realize what Gerald had said just a while ago.

"Hmm? That's right! My department director expelled me from college. I'm now filling in the form before him."

At first, Gerald planned to fill in the form and tackled Victor after that. Only then he would go and meet Jacob again to see if he could take some senses into him. He just wanted to see if things were still the same.

But now he wondered if he could ask Mr. Raine to say something in his favor.

"Gerald, give him the phone!"

Gerald smiled and nodded. "Here you are! He wants to talk to you!"

"Sure!"

Jacob soon straightened his body up and smoothed his collar slightly. "Mr. Raine, hello. You… Yes! It's nothing but an absolute misunderstanding! Sure! What? Is he that Mr. Crawford? Oh my God! Of course! I'll definitely keep it a secret! Sure! No problem!

Don't worry about it!"

Jacob swallowed slightly.

What Bernard said at last shocked Jacob tremendously.

Certainly, everyone knew or had heard about Mr. Crawford of Mayberry.

Besides, Gerald was that Mr. Crawford.

"Are you done?" Gerald smiled and said.

"Mr. Crawford… Yes!"

Jacob's facial expression became so interesting all of a sudden. He was filled with contempt at first. Now, he was trying his best to fawn on Gerald.

"Oh, then I'll continue with signing my name here. I've done filling in the form now, except signing my name."

Gerald took up the pen again.

"No!"

Jacob shouted loudly. He then grabbed Gerald's hand tightly.
