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
"You really think we don't know, right?" Ben laughed. "You fake bitch, and you come up in our face to act like an IT babe."Olivia's eyes widened in disbelief. "What are you talking about? You're just drunk or high or something!"Ben sneered. "Drunk or high? You think we're just hallucinating? We have evidence, Olivia. We know you and Owen live such a fake life and act rich!"Olivia's face turned red with indignation. "Evidence? What evidence? You're just making this up! What the fuck is wrong with you silly boys? How do you come to school in the morning and have a bad bitch on your mind?"She hissed. "Well I know your friend haven't healed and moved on from me.""Healed?" Ben laughed. "No one wants a fake ass bitch like you except some ugly boys like Owen."Jacob chuckled. "Make it up? You really think we're that stupid? We have screenshots, Olivia. We are just waiting for the right time and it'll blow up in your face. You will feel the same embarrassment you gave Rob in front of the
The world seemed to have stopped when they told Olivia to check the school group. She didn't understand what was happening, so she was confused. Meanwhile, Robert and his friends who knew what was about to happen felt a bubble of positive energy down in their stomachs, but they didn't show it.Olivia's eyes narrowed, her brow furrowed in confusion. "What are you talking about, Emily? What's going on in the school group?"Emily's eyes were wide with excitement, her voice urgent. "Just check it, Liv! You won't believe what's happening! I can't tell you here now."Ben and Robert exchanged a curious glance, their interest piqued. Miss Lily's expression remained stern, but her eyes hinted at a spark of curiosity. She badly wanted to know what it was they wanted to show Olivia, but the time for her lectures was slipping away.Olivia's confusion turned to frustration. "Fine, I'll check it when I get inside. I don't have my phone with me right now," she said after searching her pockets and no
