Chapter 034: Bombardment of News
Charles didn't take her seriously at all.
This feeling of being unappreciated drove Jessica crazy.
It made her feel a sense of defeat.
She began to doubt her own charm.
Charles had gone to great lengths for Lisa.
Why didn't he take her seriously?
Was she not as good as Lisa?
Girls tend to compare themselves with others.
The prettier the girl, the more she likes to compare.
If Charles had met Jessica's demands today, showering her with gifts and boosting her popularity, then Jessica would have always thought that Charles was under her control.
No matter how rich this man was, he would still be infatuated with her.
From a psychological perspective, everyone has a natural instinct to "pursue what they can't get."
She would subconsciously think that anything easily obtained wasn't the best.
What you can't get is the most precious.
The less you take her seriously, the more she wants you to.
Of course, the premise is that this woman is already interested in you and has feelings for you.
Girls always say they like men who are good to them, who pamper them, love them, and never make them angry.
In reality, such men are usually single.
Because from the beginning, your status with the girl is unequal; you're just a servant to them.
It's you who want to pursue her, so you are humble!
This has little to do with whether you have money or not!
Even rich people can become servants to the women they like.
Charles got drunk because of Lisa, which led him to accidentally stand up Jessica.
Jessica was very upset.
But the more upset she was, the more she cared about him.
The more she cared, the more important Charles became in her mind.
Sometimes making a woman angry is not necessarily a bad thing.
The key is how to handle it afterward.
If it's handled poorly, it could lead to a break up!
If it's handled well, then the relationship can heat up quickly, maybe the girl will even have to chase you instead.
"Sarah, I'm not streaming anymore today, I'm not in the mood!"
Jessica said, then closed the live stream.
A sleepless night.
······
Early the next morning.
Charles stretched comfortably.
He picked up his phone to check the time.
"What the hell, why is it off?"
"No, I think I turned it off myself!"
"Wait, I think I had something important to do yesterday!"
Thinking of this, Charles immediately sat up from the bed.
Looking at the bright morning light outside the window,
Charles felt anxious.
"Damn, I missed my appointment with Jessica!"
"And Pamela invited me to her house for dinner at 8 PM, and now it's already the next morning."
"I actually stood up both of them!"
"Damn!"
Charles slapped his somewhat groggy head.
Drinking causes trouble!
Such a good opportunity yesterday, and he missed it!
Thinking of this, Charles quickly turned on his phone.
Just a few seconds after turning it on, a series of messages popped up.
There were more than twenty missed calls and over three hundred Facebook messages.
Lisa, Pamela, and Jessica had all called him.
Even Rachel?
Ignoring the missed calls, Charles first opened the Facebook messages.
Lisa: [Charles, why didn't you answer my call?]
[Charles, I'm so sad. I really know I was wrong. Please, don't treat me like this!]
[Only now do I realize I really can't live without you!]
[Don't ignore me!]
[Please reply to me, even just one word!]
"······"
Pamela: [Charles, why didn't you answer your phone?]
[Aren't you coming to my house for dinner today?]
[Charles, I've already cooked and prepared a bottle of wine, why didn't you come?]
[Don't you like me anymore?]
[Charles, do you mind that I have many male friends? Don't worry; I can delete them all!]
[I'll delete them right now!]
"······"
Jessica: [Charles, what's going on? Why did you stand me up?]
[I know you're rich, I know you don't care about me, but you should at least keep your promises!]
[How can you go back on your word?]
[······]
Rachel: [Sorry, this might be a bit abrupt, but I want to tell you, Charles, I like you!]
[Even now, I can't forget your heroic image at the internet cafe. Lisa didn't cherish you, but I can. I can give you what Lisa can't!]
[······]
Looking at the barrage of messages, Charles felt a headache coming.
These women were terrifying!
'Why are they all chasing after me like grim reapers?'
'I'm not even your boyfriend.'
'I just saw you all as tools to spend some money. Is there some misunderstanding?'
Whether it was Pamela or Jessica, Charles's initial purpose was simple.
He just saw them as doormats for spending Special Funds.
Now the money was spent.
'But why do you want to talk about feelings with me?'
'Do you all like to talk feelings with rich people and money with poor people?'
'Can you fix your standards? Let's just talk about one thing, okay?'
And this Rachel, even more inexplicable!
"Annoying!"
"Waking up early in the morning only to be pestered by the girls, it's so unbearable!"
Charles couldn't help but complain.
"Charles, are you asking for a beating? Saying such annoying things in the morning, don't you see there are three single guys in our dorm?"
"Exactly, you're too annoying. I suggest we kick this guy out of room 503!"
"Seconded!"
At this time, another message came through on Charles's Facebook.
"Mr. Smoke, it's Peter. Yesterday you said you would come to see the house. I wonder when you'll have time today?"
The message was from Peter.
Charles remembered that he had indeed agreed to see the house today.
"Mr. Thomas, I have time today. Send me the location, and I'll take a cab to find you!"
"A cab?"
Peter sent a question mark.
In his impression, Ultra-rich Patron Mr. Smoke couldn't possibly not have a car.
"Oh! My driver went home to take care of a sick relative a few days ago!" Charles quickly responded, typing.
"I see. Since Mr. Smoke's personal driver went home, I'll send my company's driver to pick you up. Just send me your location!"
"That works too!"
Charles replied.
Since he agreed to see the house, Charles naturally intended to buy the villa.
But he couldn't spend the Special Funds himself.
He needed to find someone to help him spend it.
After thinking for a while, Charles called Jessica!
"Charles, you finally decided to return my call!" Jessica's voice was cold as she questioned.
"Sorry, Jessica, I had something to deal with yesterday. I'll explain later. Can you come out now? I have something important to discuss with you!"
"What is it?"
"Come out first, and I'll tell you. Main gate of the school at 9:30. Don't be late!"
