Chapter 4
I was too shocked to speak. I stood there dumbfounded as Liv entered the passcode and walked into my
home.
The passcode was my birthday.
I couldn’t even react to what was happening, just stared blankly as Liv proudly gestured toward my massive living room: “What do you think? This is the best location in LA.”
I followed her pointing finger to see the space carefully decorated with birthday balloons and fairy lights, plus a giant cake from Tiffany Blue Box Cafe with a card reading:
‘Happy Birthday, Baby!”
My classmates gasped in unison: “Holy shit, this living room is bigger than my entire home!”
Joe stroked my dad’s imported Italian leather sofa with naked envy: “This must be expensive. So nice.”
You’re seriously living the dream-you’re gorgeous, you come from a rich family, and you’ve got an wesome boyfriend. Damn.”
iv basked in the praise, her smile never fading. She lifted her chin slightly and pointed to the sofa: “Have a
eat, I’ll make coffee.”
he headed to the coffee machine but fumbled with it, unable to figure out how it worked.
iv became embarrassed, muttering: “What’s going on? I saw him do it like this last time…”
Expressionless, I walked over and pressed a button on the back.
The coffee beans began roasting and grinding, releasing a rich aroma.
Liv smoothed her hair, her face flushing: “I forgot how to use it… it’s been so long. Go sit down, my
boyfriend will be back soon.”
I didn’t move, instead asking: “Does your boyfriend drive a black Aston Martin?”
“A… a what?” Liv stuttered, then quickly recovered. “Yes, an Aston. Black. I posted about it before.”
I nodded and turned to sit on the sofa.
The roommates around me continued marveling at my apartment’s decor while I looked out the window, inwardly laughing coldly.

Chapter 4
Well, now I understood what was happening.
My boyfriend was using my apartment, my car, and my money to hit on girls, and he’d targeted my
roommate.
No wonder I couldn’t find my Fob card-Drew had stolen it.
He’d memorized my passcode and now borrowed my car to play big shot.
I didn’t think Drew genuinely liked Liv; he probably saw her Instagram or social media and, being shallow, thought he could snag a rich girl.
I’d only moved into the new dorm recently and hadn’t mentioned my roommates to him. He had no idea Liv
and I were roommates.
It made sense-between a genuine rich girl carrying Hermès and me, supposedly borrowing cars and apartments from “friends,” his choice wasn’t surprising.
These two were perfectly matched-a fake tycoon and a wannabe socialite.
They truly were made for each other.
}ut using my things to impress? That crossed the line.
didn’t expose Liv right away. I was waiting for Drew to return.
was really looking forward to seeing his face when he saw me.
didn’t wait long. Drew seemed eager to secure his relationship with the “rich” Liv and returned quickly.
When the elevator stopped at the door, Liv excitedly ran to open it. A massive bouquet of flowers appeared, 99 roses wrapped into a huge bundle that completely obscured the person behind them.
silently gritted my teeth.
To wonder. A few days ago, Drew told me he was short on living expenses and asked me to help him out.
genuinely thought he didn’t have money for food and immediately transferred him $500.
Turns out he was fleecing me to buy flowers for someone else.
n all our years together, Drew had only given me flowers once-a single stem that came free from a estaurant promotion.
‘d always been understanding about his financial situation, but apparently he wasn’t truly frugal-he just lidn’t think spending money on me was worthwhile.

Liv had thoroughly established her image in front of our roommates. Her face almost bloomed with
happiness as she took the roses with both hands and pulled Drew into the living room, her voice brimming with pride:
“Let me introduce you all-this is my boyfriend. His family owns a chain of five-star hotels. If you guys ever need anything-”
Before she could wrap up, I got to my feet and started applauding.
Awesome, awesome! You two are such a power couple, Liv. What’s his name? Your boyfriend sounds lmost too good to be real!”
