Chapter 021: Thanks to Mr. Smoke for Granting the Emperor
Jessica was just about to leave.
But when she turned around, she saw Charles nonchalantly giving away the sausage she brought him to someone else.
Suddenly, there was a tinge of discomfort in her heart!
For a long time, she had been accustomed to guys treating her like a goddess.
As long as she showed even a little interest, the other party would be deeply moved, even grateful.
She thought Charles would be the same in front of her.
Although this guy was very rich, he was essentially no different from other men.
All were equally captivated by her charm.
But now, Charles didn't seem to treat her any differently.
In his eyes, she was not different from Lisa or Pamela.
Jessica hated this feeling.
She turned and left with big strides, her face visibly unhappy.
"Charles, I think Jessica is mad. I mean, a Prom Queen brings you breakfast, and you just give it to someone else? I'd be mad too." Robert shook his head with a sigh.
"Exactly, even I, a single guy, understand this. How could you not? While it's great that you're good to your friends, you can't ignore your love!"
Eric Ward patted Charles on the shoulder, speaking earnestly.
It sounded like he was consoling himself.
"Jesse, haven't you had a crush on Jessica for a long time? Are you really okay with your goddess being snatched away by Charles?"
Tom chimed in.
"Bullshit, as the saying goes, bros before hoes. I'm not the kind of guy who values romance over friendship."
"Jesse, are you sure it's not because you can't get Jessica, so you're saying this to console yourself? We're all brothers here, so there's no need to hide it!"
"Dammit, can you give me some face?"
...
After Jessica left, Lisa and Pamela also left one after another.
It was the first official showdown among the three women.
Originally, it seemed like Jessica would crush Pamela and Lisa, but in the end, no one really gained the upper hand, mainly because Charles's attitude was ambiguous.
It was impossible to tell who he actually liked!
Since last night, after learning about Charles's background, Lisa had completely made up her mind.
No matter how Charles treated her, she vowed to win him back.
If Charles could chase her for three years, then she could chase him back for three years.
She was determined to reclaim what she had lost.
She might not have realized it, but her behavior was increasingly resembling how Charles had pursued her back then.
Pamela felt that Charles had feelings for her.
Otherwise, why would he casually lend her $800,000?
Moreover, a rich man never lacks women around him. Charles was so outstanding and wealthy that it was normal for some women to like him.
She would compete for a man that many women liked rather than those loses..
The more women liked a man, the more outstanding he was. Even Jessica liked Charles, so she was even less likely to give up!
Retreating in the face of difficulties was the lament of the weak.
The strong only rise to the challenge!
...
In the classroom, Charles took some time to set up the new Apple phone Jessica had given him.
Just logged into Facebook, several messages popped up.
Lisa: [Charles, let's go see a movie tonight. I've already bought the tickets for the 10 PM show. After the movie, we can grab some late-night snacks. I've been feeling really down lately, can you keep me company?]
Lisa's message was quite straightforward, leaving little to the imagination.
A 10 PM movie, wouldn't it end around midnight?
And then grabbing a late-night snack would make it even later.
At least until one or two in the morning, right?
By then, the school would be closed.
Where would they sleep?
Wouldn't they have to find a hotel?
A man and a woman getting a hotel room wouldn't get two rooms, would they?
That would be a waste of money!
Getting one room would be perfect for talking and even sleeping together!
Charles: [No, I need to study tonight. I'm graduating next year and planning to go to grad school!]
This excuse was so unconvincing that even Charles himself didn't believe it, but he still sent it to Lisa.
Lisa: [You're planning to go to grad school? I knew you were a hardworking guy. If you're going to grad school, I can study with you!]
Charles: [I was just saying. I don't really want to see a movie!]
Lisa: [That's okay. If you don't want to go today, can we go tomorrow?]
Lisa: [Or the weekend?]
Lisa: [Why aren't you replying to my messages?]
Lisa: [Can you at least acknowledge me?]
...
Lisa sent dozens of messages.
Charles didn't reply at all.
At this moment, she finally understood how Charles felt when he sent her dozens of messages, and she didn't reply for hours.
It was so damn torturous!
Jessica: [My Top Patron, see you in my livestream at 8 PM!]
Charles: [Okay!]
After replying to Jessica's message, Charles opened Pamela's unread messages.
Pamela: [Charles, I'm cooking at home tonight. I'm really grateful for your help. Would you be willing to honor me with your presence for dinner?]
Pamela: [By the way, I've printed out the loan agreement today. Even though it's your help, an $800,000 loan needs a formal agreement, otherwise I won't feel at ease!]
Charles: [Are you cooking yourself? Then I must try your dishes!]
Pamela: [I guarantee you'll be satisfied, Charles!]
Pamela replied instantly.
Closing the Facebook chat page, Charles, feeling bored, opened the Shark Live streaming app.
He originally intended to watch some game streams.
But somehow, he glanced at the beauty streaming section.
He saw Mia was live streaming.
He casually clicked in.
This time, Charles was no longer a low-level viewer; he was a max-level, 120-level big shot. Although he hadn't bought the Emperor status, he still made an impression.
"Damn, Mr. Smoke is here; the man himself is here!"
"Welcome, Mr. Smoke!"
"Welcome, Mr. Smoke!"
"Welcome, Mr. Smoke!"
"Mr. Smoke, you're already a 120-level advanced user. Have you considered getting the Emperor status?"
"Emperor status is for small-time rich guys to show off. Do you even know who Mr. Smoke is? He doesn't need to show off!"
"Mr. Smoke is here. I sent you a private message the other day, but I didn't get your reply. I even asked to add you on Facebook!" Mia pouted.
"Wow! Thanks to LonelySmoke for getting the Emperor status!"
