Chapter 21 A Hypocrite Matched with a Scheming Person
Within the homeowners group, Clara could still be seen speaking incessantly.
"Have you all seen the news? Our country has the power to handle this snow disaster completely!"
"Don't worry, all issues will be resolved."
"Um, if anyone needs supplies, let's do our best to help out if we can. After all, the snowstorm will soon pass, no need to hoard supplies."
However, there were not many people responding to her.
Obviously, it had been two days already, and there was no sign of the snow disaster ending, causing many people to start worrying.
Alice messaged Steven again.
[Steven, are you okay?]
Steven raised his eyebrows slightly. Alice probably thought she was beaten up by Andrew.
However, he didn't think Alice's concern was genuine.
[I'm fine.]
[That's good, then.]
Deep down, Alice was actually somewhat disappointed.
But soon, she said: [We're out of food at home. I remember you bought a lot of things. Can you give me some?]
[I'll treat you to dinner.]
A chilly smirk tugged on Steven's lips.
Sure enough, this woman must have a purpose for contacting him.
He remembered that the last time he went grocery shopping, Alice and Ivy also bought some things.
Although Alice didn't buy as much as he did, it wasn't to the point where she couldn't last two days as she claimed.
[You're talking about the past. I didn't keep those things at home, and actually, I don't have much food either.]
Alice was persistent.
[Then can you give me a few pieces of bread? You're in charge of the warehouse. Your house can't possibly lack food.]
Steven was very cold.
[I really don't have any bread left. Look, this is all I have.]
He took a picture of the foie gras and steak on the table and sent it to Alice.
On the other hand, Alice was very angry when she saw the photo.
[Damn it, Steven, what do you mean! Are you trying to provoke me on purpose?]
Beside her, her best friend Ivy popped her head out from under the covers.
It was too cold, and the two of them slept on the same bed.
Ivy saw the delicious food in the picture, and his eyes lit up with envy!
These girls usually never cook.
They either order takeout or let the guys pick up the tab.
With the city snowed in these days, they were very hungry.
They could only eat some bread and canned food that they normally wouldn't touch.
Seeing Steven still able to eat foie gras and steak, the two women felt both angry and envious.
Angry because Steven was eating alone without a thought to share some with them!
Ivy immediately said sourly, "Steven is really too much! He actually has these delicious things at home without considering sharing any with you!"
"He used to say he liked you. I think he doesn't really like you at all!"
Alice was also very unhappy.
This wasn't the first time Steven had sent her a photo.
She also knew that Steven was deliberately trying to provoke her.
But she believed that Steven still liked her, just trying to get her to compromise through provocation.
"Foolish! Just a little food, and you want me to be your girlfriend?"
"Steven, you're really naive!"
Alice's words were full of disdain.
As a proud material girl, she had to maintain her lofty image.
But looking at the photo Steven sent, the longing in her eyes was hard to hide.
Ivy naturally understood her.
So she said, "Alice, why don't you tell Steven that you can have dinner together, but he has to provide the food!"
"This way, you can maintain your pride while getting to eat delicious foie gras and steak."
"I believe he will be excited to agree immediately!"
Alice frowned and thought for a moment.
In her eyes, Steven was nothing more than a backup option, albeit a top-tier one.
Although he was handsome and had some wealth, he was still far from her ideal prince charming.
Normally, she would never give up her pride.
But now,
she couldn't stand eating bread and canned food every day.
"Then give him a chance to have dinner with me!"
Alice pursed her lips and said somewhat reluctantly.
She picked up her phone and messaged Steven.
[Steven, it's been a while since we got together. How about you come over tonight for dinner at our place!]
Steven saw the message and smiled.
[You're treating me to dinner? Alright, thank you then!]
This sentence made Alice pale with anger on the other end of the phone.
But she might also be feeling cold.
She angrily said to Ivy, "Steven is so ignorant! I gave him a chance to treat me, and he actually expects me to pay!"
Ivy was stunned.
She didn't expect that Steven, who had always pursued Alice, would suddenly become so selfish.
Strange, could it be that Alice's extremely loyal pursuer was finally waking up?
Alice threw her phone to the side in anger.
She said angrily, "This Steven, I was planning to keep him as my backup plan. Now his importance in my heart has decreased!"
"I'm really angry this time!"
"From now on, I won't even talk to him. Even if he comes to beg me, it's useless!"
Although Ivy was greedy, she joined in criticizing him.
"That's right, he doesn't even know what kind of person he is!"
"If he wants to pursue you, he's so stingy, he should stay single forever!"
The two of them continued to curse Steven for a while.
During this time, Alice picked up her phone, thinking that Steven would message her to apologize.
But Steven didn't send a single message, which made her face darken with anger.
However, Ivy had some mischievous thoughts.
She secretly messaged Steven.
[Steven, why are you so stupid! Alice is upset now. Do you know how serious the problem is?]
After receiving the message, Steven habitually glanced at it.
For him, reading various chat messages had become a form of entertainment.
What could be more exciting than human nature in the midst of doomsday?
Seeing that it was a message from Ivy, Steven glanced at it and then smiled.
"One plays the good cop, the other plays the bad cop, right? The drama between you two is truly exciting!"
Steven had long seen through this combination of a scheming person and a hypocrite.
Usually, Ivy would help Alice in these situations because Alice needed to maintain her pure goddess image.
So, asking for gifts and hinting for men to spend money on Alice were all things Ivy could handle.
