Riches in Disguise

"Three iced black coffees, please. No sugar," the woman said.

I frowned lightly, looking at her in confusion. What was the point of treating me to coffee out of the blue? Besides, I didn't even like black coffee.

I figured they were two bored women who picked random people to mess with. Relying on their looks, they thought they could do whatever they wanted. After all, guys wouldn't really do anything to them.

Even if the guys got mad, all the women had to do was act cute, and they would get away with it every time. I had seen plenty of people like that.

Honestly, I found it dull and uninteresting. I stood up and left without hesitation. There wasn't much point hanging around outside, so I decided to head back to campus and spend some time in the library.

But just as I got up, that woman stood up as well. As I walked away, she followed me. I was stunned. Was she that bored?

Even the lady who was with her looked confused. "Crystal, what are you doing? Why are you following him?"

"Don't worry about it. You do your thing. I have something to discuss with him."

"You don't even know him. What could you possibly have to talk about?"

"I do know him!"

Hearing their conversation left me even more puzzled. This woman knew me? That couldn't be right. I had no recollection of her at all.

While they were talking, I quickly hopped into a taxi by the roadside and headed straight back to campus. It wasn't until I got back to the university that I finally felt relieved.

Whatever was going on with that woman, it definitely wasn't anything good. Wouldn't she have introduced herself right away if she knew me? Why would she act so mysteriously?

But then, I suddenly caught a familiar whiff of perfume. I turned my head, and what I saw nearly made my jaw drop. "What are you doing here at my school?"

The lady grinned cheekily. "Who says I'm following you? I'm also a student here, you know?"

"Oh, sure. Of course."

Even if that were true, she obviously followed me back here. I quickly walked ahead, trying to lose her. She followed me with every step. Lended up ducking into the nearest men's restroom.

After waiting awhile, I washed my hands and exited, only to find her standing outside the restroom.

"And what's your excuse for this?"

"What excuse? The women's restroom is right next to the men's. The women's restroom is full right now, so I'm waiting for a spot. Makes sense, doesn't it?" "Sense, my foot," I thought to myself.

I didn't know if she was playing some dumb game or if this was part of a truth-or-dare punishment, but didn't want to bother trying to figure it out. Ignoring her entirely, I headed straight to the library, focusing on my original plan. sŵnovel

I realized I had left my ID in another jacket when I reached the entrance. Withoutnoveldrama

it, I couldn't get in. Returning to the dorm to grab it would take at least an hour round trip...

I thought about it and decided to text Benjamin to see if he was nearby so I could borrow his ID instead.

Before I could pull up his number, the woman suddenly placed her hand on my shoulder. Flashing a flirty smile at the security guard, she asked, "Hey, handsome, could you let my elder brother in, please?"
