Chapter 195 Role Reversal
'You already got Jessica and Alice, right? So why you messin' with me? Do you like me too?' Snow's head was all over the place.
For a lotta chicks, figuring out if a dude really digs them is pretty straightforward. Just see if he's willing to drop some cash on 'em. A guy who spends might not be for real, but a guy who doesn't? No way he's serious. Facebook feed and major short video platforms are all about this kinda stuff now!
Money and love are like peanut butter and jelly these days, and even a lotta dudes are on board with this idea.
At first, it kinda makes sense, but it just stirs up more drama between guys and girls. Guys want girls to spend on them too, ya know?
So, here's the deal. Is it wrong for both sides in a relationship to want the other to invest and care? Nah, it's not wrong, but it turns into a tug-of-war 'cause everyone has their own reasons. This kinda thinking just makes everyone selfish, and relationships end up crashing and burning.
In the end, nobody wins.
Once you get stuck in this mindset, it's tough to shake it off.
Back to the story.
Snow thought if a guy was willing to spend money on her, he must be into her. It's just how girls think sometimes. And Charles? He dropped $150 million on her! Like, seriously, one hundred and fifty million bucks!
If Charles wasn't head over heels, why would he spend that kinda dough on her? Plus, he didn't even tell her; he just made this secret deal with her boss. This is straight outta a TV drama!
Right then, she remembered Charles getting all mad and asking why she didn't ask if he'd choose her. Snow had a lightbulb moment.
"So, he likes me? He really wants me? But I pushed him away!" With tears in her eyes, Snow bolted outta the conference room, full of regret.
Snow, beautiful but insecure, didn't want to get too emotionally invested before knowing Charles' feelings. She'd keep her cool and hold back. But now, she was finally sure.
Charles liked her. He loved her. He was willing to give up everything for her. Snow's bottled-up emotions burst out!

But hold up.
Was Charles really in love with Snow? Nah, not really. Sure, guys liked pretty girls, but Charles didn't need Snow. In his mind, Snow wasn't even above Alice or Jessica.
Dropping $150 million was just something Charles did for kicks, to rack up more Special Funds. And those harsh words he threw at Snow? Just to mess with her, no deeper meaning.
But Snow didn't see it that way. She thought Charles liked her. After putting up with her whims over and over, he was still willing to sacrifice for her.
If she didn't believe a guy who spent $150 million loved her, was she gonna believe those who just sweet-talked but did nothing?
Just as Charles found Alice, a bunch of system prompts went off in his head.
