Chapter 4My Billionaire Best Friend's Brother is My Secret Hookup

But this was the first time I explicitly asked for a bag. We had just slept together last night, and during the day I'm asking for a twenty-thousand-dollar bag. No matter how you look at it, I seem like a gold digger only after his money.

To my surprise, he transferred the money without hesitation.

"Go spend it."

Looking at the twenty thousand, tears immediately fell from my eyes.

Maybe in Liam's eyes, this was our ideal dynamic. I was just a woman trying to get money out of him.

This was also the most comfortable arrangement for him. If I kept clinging to him demanding love, that would be ridiculous.

I cried for a bit.

Then I picked up my phone and typed again.

"Hubby is so generous. Can hubby buy me an apartment? In the Upper East Side, I want to live there."

"How much."

He replied incredibly fast.

I looked up the housing prices in that area and gasped. Ten million, starting.

"Nine million."

I let out a scoff, ultimately not typing "one hundred million."

I could already picture him frowning at the message, confirming that I truly was a gold digger.

"I'll have Mark take you there tomorrow to handle the paperwork."

???

I shot up from my crouch. Are you kidding me, bro?! This didn't even make you mad?

My mind was a chaotic mess. I simply turned off my phone, refusing to think about it anymore.

The next day, Serena asked me how my progress was.

Only then did I realize Noah hadn't even added me back.

"Progress: -1."

"?"

"He hasn't added me back."

"Ugh, he's just like that. It took him five hours to add me back too."

I patiently chatted with her for a long time.

Serena had a hangover from last night, a perfect opportunity for me to show my worth and offer some warmth.

But thinking about Liam made me inexplicably sad.

That afternoon, just as I walked out of the library, Mark called. He said the paperwork was ready and told me to come sign it.
