Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 199
At present, Mila and Gerard were in a relationship one level beyond friendship. However, Gerard had yet to pursue her in earnest—all they really did, for the most part, was chat.

Mila kept joking about how Gerard was her pretend-boyfriend, giving him the impression that she had never thought about going any further with him.

And yet, she was always throwing these little tantrums.

Basically, their relationship status was unclear.

Mila’s latest message to him: “I’m asking you a question. Why aren’t you replying? Have you been chatting with another girl these days?”

Girls are sensitive creatures, able to detect the slightest change in the wind.
