Chapter 3461 If I Dare to Accept, I'll Probably Lose My Life

Gerald walked over. "Ms. Sanchez, what's wrong?"

He was eager to get back upstairs and stash his cigarettes before someone noticed and took them.

Hera yanked open his bag, glanced at the cigarette brand, and scoffed. "I thought it was some expensive brand. But it's just this? And you're acting all deferential to her over this?" Gerald was rendered speechless. "I knew Ms. Craw was going out, so I asked her to bring these back for me. This is the brand I'm used to. Maybe it's not expensive to you, but for me, it's what I can afford."

Realizing she had misspoken, Hera felt a bit awkward.

She quickly changed the topic. "Still, is a pack of cigarettes really worth you being so grateful to Luca? How much could it have cost?"

"It's not about the money,” replied Gerald. "It's just a nice surprise. I never expected to get anything out of helping Ms. Craw, and this kind of unexpected gift has nothing to do with the price. Besides, I'm not being overly grateful. I'm just happy."

He was baffled. All he had done was say a simple thank you, hoping that Luca might help him again in the future. Why did Hera exaggerate it so much?

Hera shifted in her seat and frowned. "Fine, I just made a comment. Do you really need to argue with me over every little thing?

"Besides, I already said I wanted to give you something to thank you for taking care of me these past few days, but you refused. It makes me feel like you're looking down on me."

Gerald frowned and explained, "Believe me or not, it's not about looking down on you. It's just that luxury goods don't mean anything to me. I don't care about luxury brands, only cigarettes. And you're using the boss' money to buy me gifts. What do you think he'd say if he found out?"

Hera was stunned for a moment.

He continued, "So, Ms. Sanchez, I appreciate the thought, but I don't want to cause trouble. Thanks, but no thanks."
