A figure rose up from a bean bag as a pack of chips fell on the floor while crumbs of it was stuck on the figures hoodie.
"The fuck!! What's your problem man!?"
"Are you a guy?"
I asked out of curiosity, since the figure sounded feminine while ignoring the figure's rant.
"The fuck? Are you gonna be one of those assholes that's just gonna tease me for having a female voice and facial looks?"
"Gosh, that's lame, I really thought you were a female."
"Sucks to be you, you horny dog."
"There's nothing wrong with that… twink."
"Nah bro, fuck you for that and what's a rich asshole doing here don't tell me you are here to experience what being broke is and mock us when you can't withstand it?"
"How could you tell I was from a rich background?"
"Just call it that I'm enthusiastic about fashion and I've perceived your cologne from a luxury store not long ago."
"Wow, that's disappointing that I was figured out easily."
"Bruh, your fashion gives it away the most. Even a layman could easily catch up your scheme with two conclusions;
Either you spend big or you're just an asshole who loves a fake life.
Accompanied with your cologne, I could easily detect that you are among the first, since even someone living a fake life would not just consider twice but thrice while purchasing that cologne."
"Smart, thank God for you, I won't be having troubles with my assignments and projects."
"In your dreams bro."
"Come on, we should be able to get along just fine with that and I never said it was just for free."
"Now we are talking, the name's Ash and you are?"
"Garfield, but just call me G."
"Okay lasagna, still haven't told me the purpose of your false pretense."
"Really? We are making jokes right now?"
"Alright, alright, just tell me your story, grab a chip in the kitchen cabinet if that makes you comfortable but do pay me back though."
"Nice!!"
With all happiness, I dropped my bags and rushed to where he pointed out as the kitchen, searched through the cabinets and got my hand on one of the chips before rushing back to the living room.
"Drinks?"
He offered and I did not hesitate to take one and find my comfort in one of the bean bags.
"So, Mr. Secret heir of a billion dollar business empire, what dragged you into living a simple life for uni?"
"My dad was from a poor background and worked his way up and now, he's been earnestly trying to get me live at least, a portion of that struggling life and according to his words, it will help mold me into a better man.
I do respect his ideas but he actually is quite forgetful that I already have a stable in flow of income."
"Damn, really? Must be nice."
"Yup, I just stole a lot of money from him to establish myself a little."
"The fuck is wrong with you?"
"Yeah, crazy right? Almost gambled it away but my butler suggested starting up a plastic recycling company and with my dad's connections, I was able to earn contracts from small establishments to at least, being a backup supplier for a major bottling company."
"How much are we talking about?"
"Oh, I laundered seven million…"
"Nah, you are one crazy fella."
"I know, so, I wasted one, paid hackers to manipulate my results in online gambling, made multiple accounts, earned more than two million in the span of a year and for four years, did everything I could to stabilize the company into a profiting one."
"Seven million is a lot for your dad to not notice, don't you think?"
"That would be stupid of him if he doesn't catch up, after all, I grew up with belt lashes and hanger flings as well, so yeah, he did know just have been silent since I did not waste it all.
And on the third year, I started paying back my debts, most especially from the online gambling and I still have three more millions to go."
"Damn, why don't you lend me some?"
"Hell nah, I might have gotten it easily but that doesn't mean ill give it away freely."
"You just spilled a lot of legit information for me to try stealing from you, don't you think?
Aren't you a bit cautious about me? I could even kill for your bank cards."
Ash asked with a raised eyebrow and a little smirk.
"If I was afraid, I wouldn't spill it all."
I responded as I sat up with a smile on my face.
"Even if I have a gun?"
"You know that I didn't stutter… Ash."
