Riches in Disguise

I asked, "Why haven't you given up yet?"

Seeing Crystal, I couldn't help but feel a little exasperated. Didn't she think this was embarrassing?

Crystal was wearing a white dress with her long hair down, looking every bit the innocent campus beauty.

Instead of getting her own breakfast, she walked over and grabbed the piece of bread I had already bitten into. Without any hesitation, she tore off a chunk and popped it into her mouth.

"Why should I give up?" she replied with a playful smile.

I raised an eyebrow. "Didn't you storm off in anger yesterday?"

"I got jealous when I heard how much you used to love Lina. But I've thought it over, and you and Lina are in the past. After reading the messages you sent her, I'm even more sure you're a good man. If we're together, I know you'll treat me just as well," she said with a smile, winking at me.noveldrama

She continued, "The most important thing is that you can withstand my advances. Being with you, I don't have to worry about you cheating. You're the perfect boyfriend! I can't live without you!"

I chuckled softly, shaking my head. "Unfortunately, you're too late. I already have a girlfriend. Now that you know I'm loyal, there's no point in wasting your time."

Just as I finished speaking, Felicia's video call came through.

I instantly tensed up. If Felicia found out I was being pestered by Crystal, she would definitely get jealous.

"Hello, I'm taking my girlfriend's call. You'd better stay quiet, or I'll stop seeing you altogether," I warned.

Hearing this, Crystal looked a bit hurt but still managed to smile. "Don't worry, I know my place."

With that reassurance, I pressed the answer button. Felicia's face soon appeared on the screen.

She looked like she had just woken up, lying in bed with her messy black hair spilling over her fair cheek. She looked incredibly lazy and sexy at the same time.

From this angle, I could see her perfectly curved figure under the blankets, which instantly made me feel tense and hot.

"Baby, are you awake?" I asked, trying to sound casual.

Felicia smiled and playfully tossed her hair back. The movement was so seductive that my heart skipped a beat. "Not yet," she said in a raspy voice, which made her sound even more tempting.

I immediately regretted not acting faster. If I had been quicker, maybe we could've taken things further before all of this chaos. Now, I could only watch and suffer in silence.

"I just woke up and missed you so much, so I thought I'd call. Are you in the cafeteria?" she asked.

I chuckled. "Yeah, having breakfast. I'll go to class soon. What about you? Training later?"

She yawned, still looking sleepy. "Yeah, I have training later. Oh, I need to tell you something. I'm going to a cruise party in three days. Amelia said she wants us to perform a dance on board. If I perform, I'll get a two-thousand-dollar share. Amelia also mentioned I might be the lead dancer."

Before she could finish, a cold voice came from beneath the bed. "Felicia, don't get too excited! Amelia only said she might make you the lead dancer. It's not confirmed yet!"

"Yeah, who do you think you are? You really think Amelia's just being polite? Donna is the one who's really suited for the lead role," another voice added.

"Keep stealing Donna's spotlight, and I won't be so nice!" came the third voice.
