Chapter 3

Summer Alexander’s POV

“What did he do? What did he say?” Hanni asked me tons of questions.

“1 million dollars, he wanted 1 million dollars by the end of the week.” I sighed.

“He’s crazy! Why would he do that? He has that money too!” Hanni said and she drank all her water in one shot. She’s pissed and I am too.

“Hanni!” I heard someone calling her.

“Hey Wesley!” Hanni hugged the man and I turned to see a really good looking man in his mid-twenties, I assumed.

“How are you?”

“Good, pretty good. How about you?” Hanni asked.

“I’m good.” Wesley turned his head to me and gave me a big smile. “Mind introducing your friend?”

“This is my best friend, Summer. Summer, this is Wesley.” Hanni introduced us and I can tell by her voice that she likes this idea of hers.

“Nice to meet you, Summer.”

“Likewise!”

“Hanni! Hanni, darling! Let’s go on stage! Sorry, I have to steal her for a while!” Hanni’s mom came and dragged her away. I gave Hanni a goodbye wave.

“So… are you the same age as Hanni?” Wesley asked.

“Yes, twenty.”

“Ah, I see. In college then?”

“Yes.” I nodded.

“I saw you slapping my friend earlier.” My eyes widened and I turned to him in disbelief.

“You’re Darren’s friend?”

“Yes and I heard you crashed his car too.” He chuckled.

“It was an accident and it was raining!”

“What did he want? Did he make you his errand girl?”

“No, he made me go into debt.”

“How much?” I turned away and sighed.

“I don’t want to say it.”

“Really? Too bad, I know the expense of his car.” I turned to him and he gave me his sweetest smile. I don’t know if it’s a joke or not.

“He asked me to give him 100.000 grand but now it turns to 1 million dollars after I slapped him.”

“He made you pay that much?”

“Just tell me the expense, Wesley.” I said, sighing.

“You’re an interesting girl, Summer.” I glared at him for saying that instead of telling me the expense.

“60.000 dollars.” He chuckled because I bet he finds me amusing.

“That idiot!” I hissed.

“You should go kill him, pay him 60.000 dollars and move on.” I raised my eyebrows when he said that.

“Why are you on my side?”

“Because I want someone who can smack him in the head.”

“Thanks, I’ll be back!” I said and he nodded. I walked through the crowd to find Darren. How dare he ask me for 1 million dollars when the expense was only 60.000 dollars?

After roaming around for a few minutes, I found him currently talking to a beautiful jet black haired woman. Clearly that he’s flirting with that woman.

“I’ll pick you up at 7.” He said.

“Can’t wait!”

“Darren, baby, who is this?” I said as I linked my arm with his and smiled at the woman.

“Oh?” The woman looked at me confused.

“She’s-”

“I’m Darren’s girlfriend.” I said as I put my hand in front of her and the woman’s face changed.

“Can’t believe you asking me for a date when you have a girlfriend.” She hissed and slapped Darren’s cheek. I was holding back my laugh and when she left us, Darren turned to me. He was already glaring at me.

“You really want me to add to your debt huh?”

“I’m not scared about it anymore, the expense was 60.000 dollars right?” I said and he looked at me like I grew another head.

“I never knew a man like you would lie for something like this. You have a lot of money to begin with.” I hissed.

“It’s a brand new car.”

“But it doesn’t reach a million dollars, you stupid bastard!”

“But you still have to pay for it.”

“No!”

“Pay it or I’ll throw you to jail.” He said, looking at me seriously.

“I’ll pay 60.000 dollars, give me your bank account.”

“Go to my office tomorrow and I’ll decide about it.” He said as he pulled his arm away from me.

“You don’t need to decide.”

“I’ll be the one who decides this.” He said, looking at me coldly.

“I’m not as wealthy as you, Darren Conte. I’m willing to be responsible for what I did and pay the amount for your expensive car!”

“You slapped me earlier and then you made the other woman slap me too. One million dollars is equal to it.”

“Do I look like I care about it?” I raised my eyebrows.

“Ah… you want to play games with me huh?” He leaned his head closer to mind and whispered it to my ear.

“Listen asshole, I’ll transfer the money tomorrow and let’s never see each other again. I hate your guts!”

“Let’s see about that!”

“Hello my friends!” I turned to see Wesley.

“I see you already met Summer.” Wesley said to Darren and Darren looked at me like he’s going to kill me.

“You’re the one who told her, didn’t you?” Darren asked and Wesley smirked.

“You’re an idiot.”

“Sorry, dude.” Wesley said but I knew he was not sorry at all. I chuckled at him and Darren turned to Wesley for a second before turning his attention back to me.

“Ah… you’re trying to seduce Wesley now?”

“I’m not a gold digger.” I hissed and I swear I want to slap him again.

“You’re really immature for someone your age, judging people easily.”

“You will pay for this.” Those were his last words before I left the scene.
