I'm Trying To Go Broke, So Why Do I Keep Getting Richer?! 소설 & 이야기

If she hadn’t come along, that money would have been mine! Finally, when they’re done with the greetings, everyone settles down, and I resume talking, because I need answers, and I need them fast! “Are we going to talk about the elephant in the room? You’re supposed to be a multi-millionaire ... almost a billionaire, so how come you're broke all of a sudden? I'm still certain that this is all a bad joke.” I tell my dad, ignoring the other two, but he shakes his head, and to my astonishment, tears gather in his eyes.

They were locked on the terrifying string of zeros dangling beneath it. He wrapped his fingers around my freezing hand and held on so tight that my fingers hurt. His voice trembled as he said, "Audrey, when I finally have enough money saved up, I'm going to buy you the most beautiful ring in the world and ask you to marry me. I'll make sure everyone knows you're the most precious person in my life." The freezing wind cut against my face, but my heart burned hot like a flame. My eyes stung with tears as I nodded.

"What if it's a reward that I seek?" "Well just so you know, I'm broke so I have no cash" "I didn't peg you as a poor person" "I know , because of this face of mine, people tend to think that I'm rich. It so tiring at times to have this face of a billionaire" "Maybe I should make you my wife and reduce the heavy burdens that your face brings to you. You know, I'm quite attractive, according to the ladies and you being my wife would chase all unwantedales away"..

He bursts into laughter, his eyes looking into mine as if he’s never seen someone as imprudent as me. “Let me keep the facts straight for you, it’s YOU who need money, I don’t, I have plenty of it. So, you can’t buy me with it, okay?” Yes, obviously, or else why would I be here, what was I even thinking? “You’re rich because you’re greedy, I thought you might need more.” I try saving my pride, but it doesn’t come out as good as expected. “Your body is the only thing I’m greedy for… try trading it instead!!”

She explains why boosting her supernatural being. "Alright….. can….. gush this is just so unbelievable for me to hear Ma….. I mean if I get that money then I would become the richest woman in the entire world….. and beside fuck love". I said, before arranging my hair. "Alright, can I get a million dollars every month if I don't contact Edward?". "Is that all?. Like don't you have any other special tips?". She asked, and she was smiling wide for real. "Hmm….. that's all ma!". I started before standing up from my seat. "Let's call it a day then".

this time, her furious shouting blasted from the speaker. "What kind of trick did you pull on me? Where's my money? Where's my 50 million dollars? Why? Why am I still broke?"

Even her tears fell again. “Audrey, why would you do something this reckless? Aren't you afraid to die? I don't want to lose you! You're the only treasure I have.” With her sobs, Mrs. Hans kept trying to say the question that she had been holding back for a long time. “I'm sorry, ma'am, I don't know how to get William back. My intention was just to pretend, but it turned out to be a reality like this,” he said in a low tone because his condition was still weak.

One more limitation. He sighed and rested his head against the cold glass of the window. He pulled out his phone and checked his bank account. Up one million today. The thrill was small. He put his phone away still unhappy with the work before him. What was he going to do if this kept happening? It was the money that drove him. It was the thrill of seeing his bank accounts go up. He did everything possible to keep that happening. The last month with the RentTech fiasco bringing his numbers down had nearly destroyed him.

When would I catch a break? "The cost of living has gone up. I need money, and you're the only hope I have of getting it.” I pressed two fingers hard against my temple. “I'm broke as fuck right now. Things are really, really tight.” “Yeah, I watch the news too. I know you and your folks are going through it, which is exactly why I'm calling now and not waiting around. I want you to settle me before there's nothing left.” “You’ll get the money. Just give me time to…”

Keep availability open this week? I check my bank app. The tip is already there. It's generous enough to knock my breath sideways. Rent, groceries, a new pair of decent shoes without holes. My throat tightens, fury and relief in equal measure. Being broke makes you easy to own. I know this. I still breathe easier.
