Erica had heard about Brentley from Elton back when they were at Sunshire City University. She knew very well that Brentley was just a poor guy who couldn't even afford meals at the Campus cafeteria, let alone dine at a place like Jacques Bistro Restaurant.

"You better kneel down and apologize to me right now. If I'm in a good mood, I might just let this slide. Otherwise, I'll get the manager to fire you!" Erica said smugly, crossing her arms as she glared at Brentley.

"I'm not an employee here. If you want the manager to fire me, go ahead," Brentley replied calmly.

"Heh..." Erica sneered and continued, "At this point, who are you trying to fool? If you're not an employee, are you a customer? Are you seriously going to tell me you're here to eat? Brentley, don't think I don't know about you.

    "What are your terms? Let's hear them," Brentley asked, knowing that Claire agreeing to marry him couldn't be that simple. He wasn't arrogant enough to believe that someone like Claire would fall head over heels for him at first glance.Claire hesitated for a moment before speaking softly, "First, our marriage will not be public, but privately, we have no relationship. You are you, and I am me." "Go on," Brentley replied nonchalantly."Second, you must have no improper thoughts about me. You can't do anything to violate me. We won't share the same room, and even if we do, we won't share the same bed," Claire continued, looking directly at Brentley."Any other conditions?" Brentley couldn't help but smile.

Send me your account details later, and I'll transfer your living expenses monthly," Claire said, hesitating for a moment before taking a card from her purse and handing it to Brentley."Okay, thank you!" Brentley replied cheerfully, taking the card with a smile. "How can you be so shameless? You're a grown man living off a woman's money. Don't you find that inappropriate?" Erica couldn't hold back any longer, her big, watery eyes glaring at Brentley."Being supported by a wealthy woman is a skill of mine. Do you want to be supported too? Is there anyone willing to support you?" Brentley replied nonchalantly, glancing at Erica."You... you are the most shameless man I've ever met!" Erica was at a loss for words,

He frowned and asked, "Do you know me?""Of course, I don't know you!" the girl replied nonchalantly."Then why do you want me to get in and take you home?" Brentley asked, his confusion deepening."I had a bit to drink at the bar earlier. I'm worried there might be a DUIcheckpoint ahead, so I need you to drive me home. I'll pay you..." the girl responded softly after a moment."Oh, I see," Brentley nodded slightly, his face expressionless. "Well, youshould call a driver service. I'm heading home myself.""If I could find a driver, why would I ask you? Besides, my place isn't that farfrom here. I'll give you five hundred dollars, okay?"
