“She has something for me? What the ... is she up to?” Connor looked puzzled when he heard Mina. After hesitating for a moment, he got dressed, pushed the door open, and walked out.
Mina was so beautiful. Even if she was up to no good, he had nothing to lose.
After Connor gave a few knocks on the door, Mina came to open the door with a smile. “You’re here. Please, come in.”
Connor realized that he had overthought when he saw a table full of delicious food.
“Are you having a party or something? Why did you suddenly invite me over?” Connor asked.
“I want to share my happiness with someone today. Since I know no one else in Porthampton, I asked you over. Besides, it was my fault for hitting you with cosmetics today. Think of this as an apology.” Mina said with a smile and told him everything that had happened in the livestream today.
Connor listened silently and occasionally pretended to be surprised. After all, she still did not know that CeeM, whom she kept mentioning, was him.
“I wonder who CeeM is. He is so generous,” Mina said bashfully to Connor as she chewed on her snack.
“Who else could he be? He is some rich guy,” Connor said flatly.
“I am sure he is. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible for him to tip me with that kind of money. Did you know that when he tipped me today, I was really moved? It would be even better if he is handsome. I admit I would not hesitate to marry him.” Her face blushed as she spoke.
Connor was startled, and then, he frowned when he heard that. “Aren’t girls all gold diggers?”
“What are you talking about? When did I become a gold digger?” Mina was not too happy.
“Didn’t you just say that you were moved by that rich guy?”
“I was moved because he helped me,” Mina hurriedly explained herself.
“He helped you?” Connor asked in puzzlement.
“Yeah. After graduating from high school, I left home and came to Porthampton alone. I don’t have any skills, and I can only make two or three thousand dollars a month. To support myself, I became a streamer. But, I never sold my dignity and body for money. I have my principles. People insult me and say that I’m a whore online. No one had spoken up for me until I met CeeM. He is the first person to help me online.” Mina’s voice was filled with emotions.
“Then, why did you run away from home?” Connor asked after being amazed for a moment.
“Nothing.”
Mina gave a perfunctory reply. “Don’t just talk about me. How about you? I don’t even know what you do for a living.”
Connor briefly introduced himself and talked about himself and Mandy.
Mina’s situation was similar to Connor’s in the sense that they were both alone in this bustling metropolis. Mina might have done better than Connor did, but they both had so much more in common and shared many common topics.
Mina went on to tell Connor more about herself, and Connor listened attentively. It was not until l:oo AM that he returned to his room and crashed.
10:00 AM the next day.
After getting out of bed and freshening up, Connor left on his electric bike.
He had not bought himself clothes for the past half-year because he had to support Mandy back then. So a yellow T-shirt was all he wore all day, and his college mates derided him because of that.
Therefore, when he woke up in the morning and saw his shabby uniform, he decided to head to the largest shopping mall in Porthampton and bought himself a few decent outfits.
After arriving at the shopping mall, Connor found a designer clothing store and walked straight in. The salesgirl did not look down on Connor, but instead, she served him with passion.
He chose one set of each clothing style, totaling five sets of clothes, costing nearly $30,000. But such an amount of money was nothing to Connor now.
After settling the bill, he kept one set for himself and asked the salesgirl to send the remaining sets to his rented place. He then went into the fitting room with the clothes and changed.
The saying “clothes makes the man” could not be more accurate than this. Connor was by no means unattractive, and he was full of masculine charm. Just that the delivery uniform that he wore previously covered up his charm, making him look uncool. But now, after changing into some designer clothes, he looked like a changed person. If a man’s charm was worth anything, the current Connor could feed the entire world’s population with his handsomeness.
There was no doubt that Connor was rich now, as he had spent over $30,000 at once. Coupled with his charming appearance, he had completely captured the heart of the salesgirl. She had stars in her eyes and even winked at Connor when he left.
Connor took a deep breath once he was out of the fashion store. He had never felt so good at spending money in his entire life, paying $30,000 just like that without batting an eyelid. Before this, it would have hurt him to death if he had spent a few hundred dollars.
But now, he could not help himself. He had the right to overindulge now..
