Riches in Disguise novel Chapter 240

Benjamin and Liam continued to make their case.

"Yeah! Crystal is a literal goddess. She requested you to be her boyfriend. You must've saved the universe in a past life to deserve this blessing. How dare you reject her proposal?"

"Call her and tell her that you're willing to do it. She even made you desserts and begged you for your help. Are you even a man?"

"Why would this be a blessing? Can't I have personal matters to attend to? Does she have to be the center of my universe?" I asked.

"No, William. Crystal has stayed by your side for so long and treated you so well. She's never asked you for anything until now. She's just asking you to be her pretend boyfriend. You'd just have to be there to grab a bite and greet her grandma. That's it. Why wouldn't you agree?"

"Yeah. If Crystal could allow me to take up this job, I would do so in a heartbeat. She wouldn't even need to ask me! I'd be her knight in shining armor!"

I reflected on their words. Indeed, Crystal had been treating me very well recently.

She bought me food and drinks. Crystal even accompanied me no matter where I went.

Even though I told her I didn't need her company, it still felt comforting to have someone there when I was feeling down. It made me feel a little less alone.

I hadn't really done anything for her.

I couldn't help but sigh. "Fine. I'll help her this one time as a repayment for her support. After this, we won't be indebted to each other any longer."

Just as I was about to call her, Benjamin grabbed my hand.

"Don't call her. Just go downstairs to tell her. She's standing right there!"

"Right. Head downstairs to tell her in person and thank her for the desserts."

Benjamin and Liam glared at me as though they were minions sent by Crystal. Their loyalty to her was excessive. I couldn't remain firm in the face of their persuasions. Thus, I went downstairs in my slippers.
