Chapter 11A dead silence played in the atmosphere as they all turned their faces away like Jake did not just speak to them. How were they supposed to afford such an expensive meal when they could barely raise money for their tuition fee? It's crazy how they were all bullying Miles earlier when they weren't any better than him. At least, that was when he was still poor."I don't have anything on me. I'm broke," Jess's friend was the first to quickly speak up as she scratched the back of her head, and the murderous glare that Jake threw at her was enough to kill her if look could actually kill."Didn't you say you have a rich boyfriend?" Jake scoffed unbelievably."I was just trying to make myself feel good," She muttered. Her voice was so low that Jake could barely hear, but still, he scoffed.Furthermore, he turned to Jess who quickly turned her face away and bit her bottom lip."I'm sorry... I don't have anything on me. I was waiting for Leo to send me the money he promised me," She

Chapter 13Miles breathed out in relief once he stepped out of the class. The lecture was finally over, and he could finally go back home since he had been looking forward to the time the class would be over.He walked briskly down the walkway and made his way straight to the parking lot, and when he arrived there, he hopped inside his car and the ride back home began.As Miles rode through the dark yet busy road, his new phone beeped and a text from Ashley popped on the screen. 'Why are you taking so long, Miles?' He read through the text after he pulled over at the side of the road. He replied to her and told her he was on his way back to the dormitory. After he dropped his phone on the seat beside him, he started the car and drove off.The ride back to the dorm took less than ten minutes, and when he arrived, he pulled over neatly at the spot where he usually parked his car. Furthermore, he proceeded toward the building.Miles arrived at the front of their apartment and pushed the

Chapter 15"Why is he not dropping a comment again?" Miles mumbled as he scrolled through his phone. Although comments from many users were still coming in, commending him for a job well done, but he was concerned about the man's comment and wanted to see it."Maybe he gave up," He concluded, and just when he was about to drop his phone, a comment from the man finally dropped.'You think I'm going to give up just like that? Never!' Came his comment.'Did our puppy go to borrow money to buy more gifts? I hope he doesn't end up in the police station after taking a loan''You should give up already. You can't afford anything again. It's obvious you are already broke''The next time you want to bash someone, be sure to be prepared financially so as if the same occurrence comes up again in the future' Many users bashed him.The man bought the fourth most expensive gift and sent it to Ashley.'I challenge you to beat me if you can' He dropped a follow-up comment with a few emojis smirking a

Chapter 17Miles felt his throat dry all of a sudden, his heart thumped heavily against his chest as he stared into her eyes. Slowly, his eyes diverted to her sexy lips which were pouted sexily, and for a moment, he was tempted to have a taste of them. He swallowed the lump that formed in his throat and bit his bottom lip, trying everything to resist this crazy urge in him. She was sexy, and he couldn't deny that he was moved by her body, he couldn't deny the crazy thoughts that crossed his mind."You have a fiancee already, Miles," He reminded himself, and quickly turned his face away. His body trembled as he quickly reached for the glass he had dropped on the center table. He poured some wine into it and drank everything in one shot. He put back the cup on the center table."Why are you not saying anything? I've been turned down by many guys in the past saying I was not their type of woman. Are you going to turn me down too?" Pain was written all over Ashley's face as she stared at

Chapter 19"Did you forget something, Sir?" Mr. Collins quickly stood up to his feet and asked Miles respectfully."No, I didn't. I will settle her bill," Miles replied to Collins as he took out his new phone."Your account details," Miles asked Mr. Collins, and Jess rolled her eyes. Even in this situation, she couldn't help but look down on Miles. Was he trying to brag about money now? Jess scoffed silently, looking forward to getting the hell out of this place.After Miles settled everything, he turned to Collins and asked, "Can I take her away now?""Sure, Sir. You can," Mr. Collins replied to him politely, so he turned to Jess and signaled her to stand up.Jess stood up from the floor and dusted specks of dust on her body, arranged her hair, and rolled her eyes at Mr. Collins."Can I have my phone now?" She demanded rudely, and Mr. Collins handed her the phone.She hissed loudly and sauntered out of the restaurant without even waiting for Miles."Thank you, sir," Mr. Collins said
