Riches in Disguise novel Chapter 32

I sighed. I had been keeping all that frustration within me as I didn't have anyone to rant to.

Perhaps it was because of the ambient music, or the fragrance of her perfume that smelled nice, but I ended up sharing all that had happened with her.

After listening to my sharing, she was floored. "I can't believe that such a thing happened. In that case, it really isn't that suitable for you to reveal who you are.

"Shall I get my dad to give her a call?"

"No need for that. I'll just let this go."

As we neared my school, I requested her to stop the car. "I don't want people in school to see that a beauty gave me a ride back. I don't want rumors about me having a sugar mommy to go around again."

Although Joshua had been missing in action for a number of days, I still felt afraid.

Lucy burst out laughing. She took a glance at me and said, "If both of us were to get together, I can't be sure who would actually be sugaring who."

Oh?

Was she flirting with me?

Without waiting for me to respond, she opened the door and got out of the car. Then, she opened the trunk and handed a small box to me.

"This is a gift that I prepared for our first meeting. It's just some imported fruits. Don't refuse. Take it back with you and share it with your dorm mates."

Since it was just fruits, I accepted them from her.

"Thanks."

I had wanted to see her off, but to my surprise, she simply leaned back on her car and stared straight at me after handing the fruits to me.

Feeling embarrassed being stared at like that, I scratched my head and said, "I'll be heading back to school now, then."

Just as I got to the university entrance and was about to walk in, I saw Matthew, Benjamin, and Liam running out hastily. They even almost bumped into me.

"What are all of you doing this late at night?"

"Will, your timing is impeccable. Come along, Charlotte was hurt and she's been hospitalized!"

Oh?

Without giving me time to ask my questions, the three of them dragged me into a cab and rushed straight for the hospital.

Along the way, I found out what had happened.
