Lina's eyes widened. "You're with Crystal, aren't you?"
"I've told you, Crystal and I aren't like that. I only have Felicia as my girlfriend," I said.
Lina immediately retorted, "You're lying! You've changed, William. You want a rich woman now. You look down on girls like Felicia and me because we come from poor backgrounds. You're just using Crystal to climb up and get rich. That's what you're really after!"
I was stunned. Was that really what she thought of me?
When I had no money, I was seen as a vain show-off. Now, I was just a gigolo using rich women to get by.
I didn't know what to say.
As I took a deep breath, planning to explain myself and even reveal my true identity, I suddenly heard footsteps behind me.
Before I could react, a look of panic flashed across Lina's face.
As the footsteps grew closer, Lina suddenly slapped me hard across the face. She quickly turned and ran toward the sound of the footsteps, tears streaming down her face.
"Honey, this loser harassed me!" she said.
I was taken aback by her accusation. I turned around to see Lina already throwing herself into Dorian's arms, burying her face in his chest. She didn't even have the courage to look back at me.
Dorian and his men were glaring at me, looking ready to tear me apart.
"Well, well! Poor loser. My buddy said you two had been in the restroom too long, and something seemed off. I didn't believe it, but it looks like you're actually trying to make a move on my girlfriend!"
Dorian glared at me, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.
