"Who knows if it might be a fake one," Damian argued. "A lady's Rolex watch is always limited annually."

At first, no one paid attention to the fact that the watch might actually be a fake one. Just as Damian said, the watch was actually always a limited one. Only 12 pieces were released every year.

Lily quickly suggested, "You can check the validation number on the company's website to see if it's real or not!"

Sarah sighed, "That's not needed. Robert wouldn't have brought in a fake watch here." She chuckled, "This is so real, can't you see the diamonds on it?"

With a giggle, she tried to push the narrative of a fake watch away. Deep down, she didn't know if it was fake or not, but she just didn't want them to go through the stress of checking. This was supposed to be a happy gathering, not a competition over the authenticity of a gift.

But Damian felt like his ego was bruised and wouldn't let it go. He slipped out his phone and quickly logged into the Rolex website. "Okay,

    Lily stylishly grabbed Robert's arm, urging him to let Damian off the hook. He was smart to notice what she was trying to say.Robert smiled understandingly and didn't bother to taunt Damian further. The tension in the room dissipated as Lily's intervention diffused the situation. Damian rubbed his sore arm, his expression sheepish as he walked back to join his friends at the table."Thanks, Lily," Robert said, his voice laced with gratitude as he walked hand in hand with Lily. "I guess I overreacted."Lily smiled sweetly. "It's okay, Robert. We all get a little crazy sometimes. Besides, Damian started it all."They both smiled as they headed to the table.The music started again, and the party resumed its lively pace. Guests laughed and chatted, oblivious to the brief altercation. Damian and Robert shook hands, putting the incident behind them.As the night wore on, the atmosphere grew more festive. The lights dimmed, and the room glowed with a warm, golden light. The air was filled

    She knocked again and this time Robert finally calmed down and whined down his glass to hear what she had to say."Didn't you hear what I said?" She asked with a soft smile playing at the corners of her lips. "My name is Rachel," she extended her hand for a handshake.Robert couldn't help but smile - she surely didn't know it was him, the same Robert she had mocked back in high school. He wanted to burst out laughing at how the tables had turned, but he held himself back and intentionally shook her hand."Well I am Robert Edward!" He announced and held onto her hand as he removed his sunglasses.Rachel's eyes widened in shock as she recognized him. Her mind raced with memories of their high school days, and she felt a wave of embarrassment wash over her. She tried to pull her hand back, but Robert held it firmly, a sly grin spreading across his face."Rachel, Rachel, Rachel," he said, his voice dripping with amusement. "It's been a long time. You're looking...different. What do you ha

    Robert increased the volume of his music. He was playing an afrobeats mix in his mother's car. After a long drive, he finally pulled up to an eatery. He wanted to have his breakfast there since he didn't have any at home. He quickly parked his car in front of the restaurant and made his way up the stairs.Once he parked the car, passersby couldn't stop marveling over it. It was really rare to see anyone come to buy just food with a Rolls Royce. Some quietly whipped out their phones to take pictures of the car, and Robert swelled with pride as he saw them do so."This car is so sleek... It's a Rolls Royce. This guy must be filthy rich!" "I mean, it's such a flex using a Rolls Royce to come have your meal at a restaurant... That's some king shit right there!""I wish he was my man, he looks not just fine but also rich!" One of the ladies mused as she watched Robert take the stairs."Good morning, sir!" one of the receptionists greeted him as he approached. Apparently, she had seen his

    That plate number was the same as the one on his car! What?! Robert was shocked. Did that mean they had taken the photo in front of his parked car?He quickly compared the surroundings of the photo to where his car was parked, and it was exactly the same!He couldn't help but smile wickedly as an idea formed in his head. The campus favorite couple were really living a fallacy and acting up just to get some silly compliments.He quickly finished his food and called the waitress. "How much is my bill?" He asked."$1150, sir," she said. Robert dipped his hand into his pocket and took out $1500. He handed it over to her with a soft smile. "Don't worry, you can keep the rest."The lady went down on her knees. "Thank you very much, sir. I really appreciate it," she said with grateful eyes. Robert quickly helped her up. "Don't worry, this isn't needed. Get back to work, dear."With that, he exited the premises of the restaurant. Meanwhile, the lady couldn't stop looking at him. At that poin

    Gasps ripped through the crowd of students. They couldn't believe their eyes that it was Robert who had brought such an exotic car onto the school premises. How was that even possible, since they all knew he was broke - not just broke, but one of the poorest guys on campus?The whole place went silent, and only murmurs could be heard from afar, but Robert didn't care. He walked proudly out of the car, and instead of slamming the car door, he pressed the remote in his car, and the door gracefully closed down, making the students marvel at such luxury."Am I really dreaming?" one of the students muttered. "Like, Robert Edward has a fucking Rolls Royce?!""Damn, his car is really sleek. I mean, look at that car - it looks almost the same as that of Owen," another student whistled in awe."Is this a prank? Did he rent this for a music video or something?" Another student looked around in disbelief. "Did you all believe that Robert is the real owner of the car?""I mean, I am richer than h

    Robert's face fell, his eyes widening in disbelief and hurt. He felt a sting from Jacob's words, like a bee had pierced his skin. His mind raced with disappointment and frustration. Did they really think he had a whole lot of time to be playing catch up with Owen? After all these years they had known him and seen how tightly he had always scheduled his time, even when he was working, and how he spent most of his free days in the school library instead of engaging in time-consuming activities - seeing them think so low of him made him sick to his stomach. Apparently, he had made them the studious bookworms they were today. Each one of them wanted to rival each other, solely focused on outperforming the others academically through friendly competition. They were really comparing him to Owen, whose life is a fallacy.Robert sighed. "How could you think that of me?" Robert's voice was laced with disappointment, his tone barely above a whisper. "Do you really think I'm so petty, so shall

    Gasps ripped through the crowd of students as they couldn't believe their eyes that it was Robert who had brought such an exotic car onto the school premises. How was that even possible, since they all knew that he was broke? Lily, on the other hand, was equally shocked to see Luca ride into the school compounds with such an exotic car."Isn't that Owen?" one of them exclaimed excitedly."Oh, it is him! That's the same exact one he just bought, I'm sure of it!" the girl said. "I just saw Olivia in here. Where is she? She can also confirm that it's her boyfriend's car.""Oh, yes, that is Olivia!" another person pointed at Olivia, who hadn't seen the whole chaos happening outside. She was seated with her friends, engaged in normal campus gossips, when one person tapped her shoulder to get her attention."Hey, Olivia, isn't that Owen coming in?" she pointed outside, and Olivia quickly followed her hands, only to see a Rolls-Royce parking in front of the lecture hall. She was initially con

    Apparently, Ben has suggested that they post a photo of Robert with his new car in the school group and add an eye-catching caption for it. He also suggested adding Robert's license plate number so it can be visible. After Ben had posted it, he made sure Jacob also posted it, congratulating Robert on his new car. Having two to three posts up would gain more traction faster.But Ben didn't stop there. He went as far as going to Olivia's post of her and Owen in front of the Rolls Royce and debunked the rumors that it was Owen's car. For the next few minutes, the post began to blow up, and six consecutive comments dropped: "What do you mean this isn't Owen's new car, but that of Robert? I mean the poor Robert we all know?! How is that even possible?"When Ben saw the first comment, his face dissolved into a frown, but he quickly explained and asked the commenter to check the license plate numbers."Wait a minute, did you say it isn't that of Owen? Hahahaha, I just knew they were living a

    The air in the room seemed to grow heavier as the final figure was announced. Lila’s heart pounded in her chest, her mind reeling at the sheer audacity of it all. How could this be happening? Robert was supposed to be the pauper here, the one barely scraping by, not the one making extravagant purchases without a second thought.Meanwhile, Anita’s smile grew even wider, a mix of disbelief and glee painted across her face. To her, it felt as though she had won the jackpot, her wildest dreams unfolding right before her eyes.Robert, however, merely smiled sheepishly, his calm demeanor unshaken by the staggering total. He turned to Anita and said, "I hope you’re satisfied with your picks. Let’s get these wrapped up."At the same time, When the assistant called out the total—$350,000—the shock on Lila and her companion’s faces was almost palpable.

    Lila and her companion stood frozen, their eyes locked on Robert. The confidence with which he moved, the calm in his demeanor, and the absolute lack of fear in his voice were all completely at odds with the image of him they had clung to for so long. Every word he spoke, every action he took seemed to defy the expectations they had so carefully built around him.Lila's breath hitched as she watched Anita wheel the overflowing cart towards the register. Her gaze darted to the items, her mind racing as she tried to calculate the worth of everything piled inside. Her heart sank as the numbers began to add up—thousands upon thousands of dollars. The realization was like a punch to the gut. Could this really be happening? Could Robert, the man she had always considered beneath her, actually afford this?For years, Lila had carried a deep-seated belief that Robert was a nobody, someone to be mocked and dismissed. But that belief was now crumbling under the weight of what she was witnessin

    Robert let out a calm smile, his eyes narrowing slightly as a cold expression settled on his face. "You're right, why won't I?" he responded, his tone icy and composed.Lila's scorn was unmistakable. She threw her head back and let out a sarcastic laugh, her eyes gleaming with mockery. "Really? Robert afford a bag this much?" she sneered, her gaze landing on the $89,000 price tag of the bag Anita had been eyeing earlier. "You? A pauper like you? Trying to level up so bad—it’s laughable!"She continued, "You’re in way over your head, Robert. You’re just digging your own grave, pretending to be something you're not. This is going to put you in serious trouble one day, mark my words."Her words dripped with disdain, but beneath her confident exterior, a seed of unease began to sprout. She couldn’t shake the memories of her past encounters with Robert. She recalled their run-in at the Luxor Hotel—how she had expected him to be exposed as a fraud or a thief, yet, to her bewilderment, he ha

    The words hit Lila like a slap to the face. Her eyes widened in shock, then narrowed in fury, her face flushing with a mix of anger and embarrassment. For a moment, she was rendered speechless, her mouth opening and closing as she struggled to find a retort. But soon, the anger boiled over, and she exploded into a furious rant."You—how dare you!" she sputtered, her voice rising in pitch. "You think you can talk to me like that? Do you know who I am? I’ve got more class in my little finger than you’ll ever have! Those bags—those bags are worth more than anything you’ll ever touch! You’re nothing but a lowlife, a pathetic little con man who can’t afford even a scrap of what I have!"Lila’s face contorted with rage, her voice dripping with venom as she continued to rant, her words becoming more disjointed and desperate as she tried to regain some semblance of control over the situation. "You’re the joke here, Robert! A joke! And as for you," she spat, turning her glare towards Anita, "

    The tension in the air was electric, thick and oppressive like a storm cloud ready to burst. The other guests, who had been observing the escalating situation with a mix of curiosity and skepticism, began to murmur amongst themselves, their voices tinged with both anticipation and judgment."Serves him right," one diner whispered, barely hiding a smirk. "He must be out of his mind to go up against someone like Mr. Smith.""Foolish, really," another chimed in, shaking their head. "He’s asking for it. The manager’s going to toss him out on his ear, just wait and see."The whispers grew louder, with some even casting pitying glances at Robert, while others openly mocked him. "He has no idea who he’s dealing with," one person commented with a sneer. "Smith’s a regular here, practically untouchable. That guy is done for."Anita, sitting beside Robert, could feel her heart pounding in her chest. She was visibly fidgeting, her fingers nervously tapping on the edge of the table. The thought o

    Robert remained unnervingly calm as Mr. Smith's voice escalated, his threats echoing through the luxurious hall of the VIP section. His demeanor was as steady as a still lake before a storm, showing no hint of the tension burning beneath the surface. The more Mr. Smith ranted, the less Robert seemed to react, his composed expression only further fueling Mr. Smith’s fury.Mr. Smith sneered, his voice thick with venom. "You act like you’re above it all, like you own this place, you think everyone else is just as deceitful as you?"The other customers, were now turning their heads, their curiosity piqued by the growing commotion. Some whispered among themselves, while others watched intently, their food momentarily forgotten.Robert, sensing the perfect opportunity to twist the knife, leaned back in his chair, his expression calm.

    As Robert and Anita left the lively birthday party, the evening air was cool, and the city lights glittered around them. Anita’s stomach growled audibly, and she burst into laughter.“Okay, that’s embarrassing,” she said, rubbing her belly. “But seriously, I’m starving. We’ve been surviving on potato chips, cupcakes, and candy all night. I need some real food—something warm and hearty.”Robert chuckled, nodding in agreement. “I hear you. I can’t believe they called that a party spread. You know what? Let’s go somewhere special. I know a place.”Anita’s eyes lit up with excitement. “Special, huh? Fancy or casual?”“Oh, very fancy,” Robert said, a mischievous smile playing at his lips. “Trust me, you’ll love it.”Curiosity piqued, Anita grinned. “Alright, lead the way. Just don’t make me wait too long; I’m already dreaming about a perfect, gourmet meal.”They drove through the city, the anticipation growing as Robert pulled up to an elegant, upscale restaurant. The establishment exuded s
