I didn’t want to ruin the mood. Even though Isaac seemed nice, he gave me a strange feeling, but I couldn’t figure out what was wrong. Isaac clearly panicked when he heard me. He quickly put his phone back in his pocket. Frank: “Uh… nothing, I was just checking T*****r.” Liliana: “Isaac, don’t stay glued to your phone while we’re eating. We haven’t seen each other in so long. Don’t you want to spend more time with me today?” Liliana looked at Isaac. She pouted unhappily, and he tensed up a little. My instincts told me he was hiding something from Liliana. However, with Liliana’s carefree personality, she certainly wouldn’t suspect Isaac of anything. I didn’t want to doubt him either, but I couldn’t bear the idea of Liliana suffering a betrayal like I had. I didn’t want my best friend to experience that kind of heartbreak. Yet Isaac kept checking his phone, sending messages on W******p from time to time, while Liliana congratulated me on my new job. At one point, Isaac excused hims

two hundred dollars Me: “Nathan, I don’t think we need a five-star hotel to have sex. It’s not worth it—it’s just for sex.” I turned to look at Nathan and said that hesitantly. My only intention was to sleep with him, not to stay in a luxury five-star hotel. That would be far too extravagant. Nathan: “Actually, it’s better for us to come here, because it’s free.” Nathan turned to look at me as he said that. Me: “Free? Why?” I asked quietly. Then I followed Nathan into the hotel. Nathan: “Because this hotel belongs to me. Do you think I still need to spend money to rest here?” He stopped walking and looked at me helplessly. Me: “What? This hotel belongs to you?” I stared at him in shock. This hotel belonged to him? This was a five-star luxury hotel! I had heard there were 86 branches across the country, but I never imagined Nathan owned them. What must the monthly revenue of these hotels be? He was unbelievably rich! I knew he had businesses in many fields, but I didn’t expe

Me: “Alright. Don’t worry, I won’t bother you.”I understood perfectly what he meant.I wasn’t stupid. He wanted to hide our relationship and only saw me as a sexual partner.It would damage his reputation if anyone found out about us.People in high society were all hypocrites. I wasn’t surprised at all.In fact, I was relieved, because I didn’t want anyone to know I was his sexual partner.I let out a long sigh of relief and went upstairs after he left.I was happy that I had managed to gather the money despite all the difficulties.Now, I was thrilled that Dad could finally be saved. I would do anything for my parents.I was deeply moved when I found out Liliana had been going around asking for money to help pay for the surgery.After all, she was the only one helping and encouraging me during such a hard time.I called her and told her to come home immediately because I had finally gathered the money.Half an hour later, she finally came back. She rushed to the refrigerator and to

Nathan: “Why are you staring at me like that?”I snapped back to reality and quickly turned to look out the window, embarrassed that I had been stunned by his beauty a moment earlier.Me: “So… why did you want to meet?”I stared straight ahead, avoiding Nathan’s eyes.Nathan: “Are you still involved with Perry?”His voice was cold as he turned to look at me. His question startled me, and once I processed what he had just said, I couldn’t help but frown in displeasure.Me: “What do you mean, ‘I’m still involved with Perry’?”Who was he to question me like that? I was already irritated from what happened earlier, and now he was seriously getting on my nerves with that kind of question.Nathan: “Explain yourself clearly, right now! I don’t want a frivolous woman.”His voice was low, but even behind his sunglasses, I could feel the anger radiating from him.Me: “Didn’t you investigate my relationship with Perry? He was my ex-boyfriend. We broke up—you know that. I can’t help it if you can

Coworker 1: “Really? Irene seems so innocent, and she’s serious and hardworking. How could she do something like that?”Coworker 2: “People these days will do anything for power and money. The moment Irene joined the company, I knew she wasn’t as innocent as she looked. But I didn’t expect her to be so low as to seduce an old man.”Coworker 1: “Exactly. Michael is already over forty and he’s not even attractive. Irene must have gone all out just to sleep with him.”The more I listened to their conversation, the more my pride hurt.How could they say I seduced Michael?Were they even there? Did they witness anything?People these days really judged a book by its cover.In reality, Michael was the one trying to force himself on me.So why was I suddenly the one being called a whore?They were truly good at talking nonsense, weren’t they?Forget it, Irene… You know you’re innocent. There’s no reason to stress yourself over this.Even though I kept trying to comfort myself, my tears still
