Broke? I'm Sitting on a 100‑Million Contract
After closing a 100-million-dollar business deal, I dip into an ordinary-looking cafe by the street on a whim.
"I'll have a cup of cappuccino, please."
The waitress, who's immaculately dressed, rolls her eyes at me before sashaying toward me. In a fake, nasally tone, she says, "I'm sorry, but there aren't any servers here. I'm the owner of this place."
She eyes me up and down before continuing, "The prices here are relatively high for regular people. Are you sure you want to order coffee from me?"
I pause in the act of massaging my temple. Finally, I scan around the cafe.
"Your cafe is nothing to look at. Are you saying that you're not going to serve regular people, then?"
The owner's friend jumps up to her feet instantly at my comment. Then, she starts berating me angrily.
"Gianna has opened this cafe just to burn her free time and contribute to the community by giving them a taste of what it feels like to be rich! How dare you question her!
"Do you even know who Gianna is? She's the successor of Luxara Corporation! Her boyfriend is Levi Anderson, the CEO of Miller Group! How dare you talk to her like this! You won't be able to make a living in Westford anymore!"
I raise an eyebrow in response.
The man who had kneeled before me with tears rolling down his cheeks while begging me to invest in his company… was the boss of Luxara Corporation, if I remembered correctly.
Also, isn't Levi that live-in husband of mine?
