The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 2228

Derrick himself could be seen nervously pacing at the door. After all, he was well aware of how abrupt his visit was, and he was honestly worried that this might upset Gerald. Even so, he knew he had to come over. After all, he hadn’t been able to meet with Gerald in years! With how much Gerald moved around, Derrick was seriously worried that he wouldn’t be able to see Gerald again—till another few years had passed—if he didn’t make his move now…

His fears, however, were quick to vanish when he saw Gerald walking toward him. Smiling broadly, Derrick then jogged into the manor while waving his hand as he shouted, “Brother Gerald!”

Watching as Derrick fished a pack of cigarettes out before offering one to him, Gerald accepted one before replying with a smile, “So… What brings you here on this fine day?”

“I… just wanted to see you, honestly. After all, if I missed this chance, who knows how long it’ll be before we can meet again!” said Derrick as he lit Gerald’s cigarette while grinning sheepishly.

“And here I thought you needed my help with something…” joked Gerald with a chuckle.

“Oh, please, brother Gerald! As if I’d ever ask for your help all willy-nilly! However, feel free to request for more help from me if you ever need it!” replied Derrick with a laugh.

Shaking his head, Gerald then tugged his jacket closer to him—since the early autumn morning was slightly chilly—before saying, “Regardless, let’s talk inside…”

Nodding in response, Derrick then followed Gerald all the way to the Futaba manor’s parlor. Though a few maids had been cleaning the parlor before they arrived, the second they saw Gerald leading a guest in, they hurriedly left.
