C1 I Am Your Secretary

"Hello, is this Lloyd? I'm your secretary, Camryn Whitaker. I'm calling to inform you that you have a large amount of money to inherit. You..."

Lloyd hung up before the woman finished her words. All these telephone scams, I'm not going to fall for it.

Standing outside the school coffee, Lloyd took a deep breath before he went inside. Today, he would take a chance on love: he was going to tell Lorelei Lambert his true feelings.

Lloyd saw Lorelei by the window. "You can do this, Lloyd!"

Lloyd mustered up all his courage and walked towards Lorelei.

"Hi, Lorelei. Are you willing to be my girlfriend?" said Lloyd aloud.

"What are you doing? This is so humiliating!"

Not the reaction Lloyd expected.

"I thought you broke up with Adrian." Adrian was Lorelei's ex-boyfriend, who was rich and arrogant.

"So?”

Lorelei eyed Lloyd and a trace of disgust appeared in her beautiful eyes.

“I fall in love with you the first time we met. You even smiled at me. Don't you remember?"

"The hell I did. Look at yourself. What makes you think I would even look at some pathetic loser like you with no money, no power."

Lloyd looked flustered but he still hadn't given up.

"It's true I don't have rich parents like Adrian does, but I can give you things that Adrian couldn't, happiness. Here, I bought you a present."

In the meantime, a white BMW stopped in front of the coffee shop and out walked a fashionable young man with dazzling blonde hair. The Louis Vuitton bag in his hand was eye-catching.

"Hey, babe, who is this pauper?"

Adrian gave Lloyd a disdainful look.

"Don't call me babe! We aren't not together anymore!"

Lorelei pouted angrily.

"Still angry with me?"

Lloyd, who was completely ignored by them, was about to leave when Adrian snatched the gift from his hands.

"What's this?" Adrian tossed the gift about.

"Give it back to me!"

"How did you have the face to use such a cheap stuff to pursue girls? Are you really that poor?"

"None of your business! Being rich doesn't give you the rights to do whatever you want." retorted Lloyd with a reddened face.

"But I can do this."

An evil smile crossed Adrian's face and he let go. The crystal necklace splintered into pieces.

"Opps! You should be more careful."

Without sparing Lloyd a second look, Adrian put the Louis Vuitton bag on the table.

"See, I got my babe a limited-edition Louis Vuitton bag. Do you know how much it cost? Thirty-two thousand dollars. Can you afford this kind of stuff?"

Lorelei's eyes lit up when she heard what Adrian said.

"You bought this for me, honey? I love you so much!"

Lorelei gave Adrian a big kiss.

The scene hurt Lloyd harder than Adrian humiliating him.

"Now you see what money can do? I get that, man, I do. In you pathetic, low life, you dream that girls would like a poor man like you. Well, time to wake up. If I ever see you around Lorelei, I'll beat the crap out of you."

With that, Adrian left proudly with Lorelei.

Lloyd couldn't remember how he walked out of the coffee shop and how he got back to his dormitory. All he could remember was the countless ridicule.

Everybody was mocking him for even thinking he could land with a girl like Lorelei.

So what I don't have money? Can't poor people have love?

Lloyd felt so unfair!

Could it be that I would remain a loser for the rest of my life?

Hell no! I won't allow it!

Just as Lloyd was still lost in his thought, a black Bentley pulled up beside him.

"Who is that gorgeous?"

"Oh my god, look at her long legs! Is she a model?"

The beautiful woman getting off the Bentley immediately attracted people's attention around.

"Mr. Walker. Mr. Walker!"

Lloyd paused when he heard a woman's voice from behind him.

"Are you calling my name?"

"Yes, Mr. Walker."

Her respectful manner confused Lloyd.

"I haven't introduced myself. My name is Camryn Whitaker. I'm your secretary. We talked on the phone an hour ago."
