Chapter 4The Billionaire Bully and His Valedictorian For Hire

Jax and Liam.

Natural enemies.

Both handsome, both rich.

In high school, people naturally gravitate toward the one with the good temper and good grades. Since Liam was Number Two, the title of "School Prince" fell on his head.

As for Jax, his temper was explosive. No one dared to provoke him.

He texted me.

[You absolutely cannot lose to Liam!]

"..."

I replied: [Even if I beat him, no one will think YOU beat him.]

[You're my girl. If you're number one, I look good! I'll give you 10k for first place this time. Next time I'll raise the stakes.]

I stared at "10k" for a long time.

Then, I picked up my pen and started grinding.

Until a girl knocked on the window.

"Excuse me, can you get Liam for me?"

I didn't look up. I just leaned forward so she could see Liam next to me.

Liam went out.

I knew who she was. His girlfriend.

When he came back, he had a carton of milk and a bag of cookies. Homemade cookies. They smelled amazing.

Maybe this was another reason Jax hired me.

Because Liam had one.

Weird competitive spirit.

The next second, my phone vibrated violently.

[I heard his girl brought him snacks?? Where's mine?? I want some!! You can't let me lose to him!]

Gossip travels fast.

I replied calmly: [No money.]

The next day, my desk was stuffed with food.

[From now on, I'll supply you daily. You just have to pretend you bought it for me. Of course, so you don't waste study time and let Liam win, I can come pick it up myself.]

Then, I waited for Jax to appear at the window every day, leaning lazily halfway inside while I put the snacks in his hand.

"Sigh, why are you so good to me? I won't starve, you know. You insist on making me come get it."

He might as well have used a megaphone next to Liam's ear.

I played along. "I worry about you."

I don't know how Liam felt, but Jax was thrilled.

When I sat back down, Liam's first words were: "You don't have to do this."

I turned and looked at him.

I remembered the milk and cookies I saw in the trash can this morning.

This guy had two faces.

Wasting food is shameful.

I said, "I like him."

"I love him."

"..."

I acted like a girl head-over-heels in love.

"I'll fight the world for him. You have a girlfriend, don't you? Don't you understand this feeling? I thought you would understand me."

Liam frowned. "But I won't inconvenience myself for your romance. Stop going out to see him. It's distracting."

I looked confused immediately. "How many times did I inconvenience myself for you, Liam? Love letters, gifts, passing messages... did you forget all that? Why is it a problem when it's my turn? My god, Liam, you have no conscience. If you keep this up, I won't forgive you!"

Liam's expression was unreadable.

I glanced at him.

I stopped talking.

My acting was solid today. I deserve every penny.
