"Regine, if you don't believe me, then take a look at this," Chuck handed over the contract.
Regine was very impatient. "Enough! I can't believe you're such a person. What's the point? You were a young an innocent boy back in high school. What happened to you now? Now that you've become a kept man, you've become so arrogant! I'm so disappointed in you!"
Regine slammed her foot on the accelerator, driving off to attend to her own matters. Her family owned a commercial street and she received a call regarding a complaint at a restaurant there. If Regine recalled correctly, that restaurant belonged to a lady called Zelda Maine...
After Regine left, Chuck was dumbstruck. He could only put the contract away.
"Are you trying to court Regine? She's a rich heir. There are so many people who want to be with her. Moreover, she does not believe in having a kept man..." The other classmates had come to see Regine off. After all, she paid for all their expenses, and they could enjoy themselves at the farmhouse for one more day.
"That's right. Are you trying to be Regine's sugar baby? You should look at yourself in the mirror!" They ridiculed Chuck endlessly.
Chuck had not yet left, which meant that he and the beautiful woman had spent the night together. Perhaps Chuck and the woman had made love during the night. At the thought of this, the classmates were jealous. Why was Chuck so lucky to have met such a rich and beautiful woman?
Chuck glanced at them and said, "F**k off!"
Chuck was in a hurry to send Willa back home. If he didn't go home today, Yvette would misunderstand him, so Chuck didn't want to waste time on his annoying classmates.
Chuck got on the car. Then he drove away with Willa.
The classmates were angry!
"D*mn! How dare he swear at us? He's really rude!"
"He's a gigolo! Why would you want to comment on his manners?"
"That's right. People like him are so shameless. I feel disgusted when I talk to him. Let's not waste anymore time. Let's go to the hot spring!"
"It's good to have a rich friend like Regine. We have three days to spend here. Is anyone else here wealthy? Don't forget to bring us to have fun!"
"No... How could anyone else be rich here?"
"Didn't Chuck say that he came from a rich family too?"
"Haha, that's funny! You got to be joking!"
The classmates ridiculed Chuck endlessly. They then made their way to the hot springs. What a joke, how could Chuck be a rich heir?!
They wouldn't believe it unless they saw it for themselves!
Chuck drove back with Willa. He was still very happy today. Willa had been smiling the whole time. To be honest, his life would become a much brighter place if he got to see her beautiful smile for the rest of his life.
"Auntie Logan, please rest well," Chuck said. After all, he was a little reluctant to part with her.
"Okay. Drive carefully." Willa smiled and opened the door. Chuck said that he would take Willa to tour other spots the next day as he didn't know how long she would stay.
"Alright, anything you say!" Willa nodded.
Chuck breathed a sigh of relief. Willa closed the door and Chuck headed back downstairs. However, when he arrived at the elevator, the doors opened and revealed a haggard-looking Zelda. She didn't notice Chuck and walked out of the elevator in a daze.
Chuck was surprised. "What's wrong with Zelda? What happened to her?"
"Zelda, are you alright?" Chuck asked with concern. Zelda looked exhausted, and Chuck felt his heart ache for her.
"Huh? Chuck." When Zelda regained her senses, she realized it was Chuck speaking to her. Suddenly, she felt hopeful.
The previous day, Zelda arrived at the restaurant and realized that the landlady was evicting Zelda's business. The lease had expired, but Zelda's restaurant had just been renovated the year before. At that time, the landlady had promised to extend the lease, and that was why Zelda had decided to renovate the shop. But now, the landlady reneged on her promise and came to demand Zelda's restaurant to move out.
Zelda went looking for the landlady to no avail. She was very dejected. Meanwhile, her other restaurant, an employee accidentally spilled food on a patron. The patron happened to be an influential person and Zelda had to compensate 30,000 dollars for that incident. It was not a serious issue, but Zelda was concerned if there would be more consequences from that...
"Zelda, what happened?" Chuck asked with concern.
"Everything's wrong..." Zelda felt exhausted after those unfortunate events. Those were her best-performing outlets. But now, two separate incidents had happened at those two outlets. Zelda sighed as she recited the story in full. Chuck felt worried after listening to her.
"Don't worry about it. I'll go with you to see the landlady tomorrow," Chuck said. "We'll go first thing in the morning. I'll ask Auntie Logan to wait for me."
He couldn't just stand by and watch Zelda get into trouble.
"Thank you. I have an appointment with the landlady at eight o'clock in the morning." Zelda was moved.
