"Didn't he say that he couldn't live without you? You just bought him a pair of 3,000-dollar sneakers last month. I believe he would give you the money."
Millie hesitated and said, "But he's a man. He has a lot to spend money on. It's not good to do this..."
I turned my head slightly and rolled my eyes imperceptibly.
How did I not notice that she was so hopelessly romantic before?
Taking a deep breath to fight the nausea, I held her sweaty hand and advised her, "How about this? Just say you need it for your meeting. I believe he can afford the money."
Millie thought for a moment and texted the man as I said.
Maybe it was true love, or maybe it was just the excitement of them being newly in love, the man transferred Millie 200 dollars through WhatsApp after a while.
He texted Millie. [Spend it all!]
Seeing that, Millie shook my body excitedly.
"See, Cora, my boyfriend loves me so much!"
Haha, I can see that you love him a lot too.
After a few days, Millie quickly got bigger like an inflated balloon after eating the meals to which I added hormones. Even walking became a bit difficult for her.
On the eve of meeting her boyfriend, she was choosing clothes in the dorm and asked me which one was better.
I sat silently and occasionally responded with a few words. At that moment, the door was opened and another roommate, Isabel Peterson, came in with a cold face.
She threw her phone hard on the table, but the phone fell to the ground beside me.
After thinking for a moment, I bent down to help her pick it up.
The phone screen was lit up, and I accidentally caught a glimpse of her WeChat interface, with a heart as the nickname.
But the avatar of that chat partner seemed a bit familiar.
"Why are you holding my phone!"
Isabel's face changed. She quickly snatched the phone from my hand. Seeing Millie trying on clothes, she said with a mocking smile, "Being so fat, it doesn't matter what you wear. Why bother dressing up?"
Millie was so angry that she was panting heavily, but Isabel quickly stormed out.
Isabel was a rich girl in the city, looking down on every roommate, especially me, whom she saw as a show-off for studying in the library from morning till night.
In my previous life, I had almost no interaction with her, and I couldn't understand why she would listen to Millie and deceive me to the rooftop in the end.
"I don't know why she's so high and mighty. Bah!"
