“What about it?” I looked down at myself.
“That top is.. is an underwear.” He shook his head,
“It is called a corset and that is in fashion right now. Don’t even get on this subject with me.” I scoffed at him.
“How do you have a designer bag?” He muttered as he noticed my cute hand tote beside me and I got sheepish.

“I use this app where you can rent
“Interesting, well you can go buy your own.” He said and I laughed out loud.
Do you know how much a bag like this costs?” He shrugged.
“Not in the slightest.” I rubbed my bag like it was my
child.
“It cost three thousand.” He nodded and then shrugged again.
“It could be your birthday gift.”

“You have that kind of money? Seriously, Bryce what the hell do you do for work? That apartment building is really expensive and now you causally want to buy me a thure thousand bag?” | mumbled, I had forgotten Callan was even present because I was so engrossed in this conversation with Bryce.
“You ask too many questions.” Callan’s deep voice interrupted
My head snapped over to him, I didn’t know what to say and in my silence, he continued.
“juu accept the money, Harold Group of Company is successful, that is how he can afford it
like this man stepped in to close the subject, like he didn’t want me asking too many questions and getting to the root of things, the same way Bryce

the threat of seeing him all this time,
I was lucky when we entered the apartment and it was dark inside meaning Callan wasn’t home. I went up to my room and took off my heels before remembering that stack of cash in my bag. I pulled it out and counted it, only to realize it was five thousand that he dropped in front of me as a birthday gift. 1 have never received that much money from anyone and I gaped at it. A knick smsiniled on my door, it was my brother so I let him in.
“Your birthday present.” He handed me money again
I have never been given money this way, I looked down and counted it, three thousanil.

I guess we will see what I will spend my birthday money on tomorrow when I go shopping before work. The thought thrilled me
I spent
the rest of the night thinking about the cash in my bag that Callan gave me. I decided to try my luck at giving it back when I heard the elevator ping later on at night. I was still in my pajamas but I figured he wouldn’t care, I walked downstairs quietly since my brother was already in her.
