Chapter 46
The rich always think money solves everything. They look down on ordinary people because their
lives are worthless.
I''m not surprised that he knows I need money, but I don''t think he knows about the ck card.
If he knew, he would have been more certain I was a gold-digger.
"Just curious. How much are you going to give me?" I''m not angry and ask him with a smile.
I can clearly see the disdain in his eyes. He takes out a check and puts it in front of me. It says one
million.
I slowly pick it up and give a sweet smile. That''s how much I''m worth.
Few people in the world can say no to so much money, right?
Jonah looks at me contemptuously. "I''ll take that as a yes."
"What?" I''m confused.
He seems to be pissed off, but he doesn''t lost it. "You take my check, you do what I say. No such
thing as a free lunch."
I''m kind of amused. I can probably understand why Harrison made friends with him.
This yboy is not annoying. On the contrary, he''s a bit simple, just like my friend Sienna.
It''s gonna be so much fun if Sienna meets him.
"I''ll give you the check back. Please don''te back and ask me to leave Harrison again." I ce
the check in front of him.
Jonah looks a little helpless. "What do you mean by this? Are you kidding me?"
"This is the first time I''ve seen a check for so much money. Thank you for blowing my mind. I am
poor, but you probably don''t know me very well," I say seriously.
"I''m not gonna tell you why I''m with Harrison now, but I promise I''m not a gold-digger. If I were, he
would have dumped me long time ago."
I decide not to tell him about the ck card. It''s a secret between me and Harrison.
I''m not staying with him for money. After paying off my mom''s medical bills and debts, I never used
that ck card again.
But what happened today makes me feel the need to give it back to Harrison.
I see anger and helplessness in Jonah''s face.
In fact, he''s just worrying about nothing. Harrison and I are not a couple at all.
"It''s never gonna work out between you and him. Why don''t believe me?" He sighs.
I''m kind of shocked by his tone. Just now, I thought he would beat me up in anger. "It doesn''t matter.
And we are just friends now."
"Friends? Are you sure?" Jonah asks, "Then why did hee to youst night?"
For some reason, I feel a bit nervous. "What do you mean?"
"Don''t you know what I mean?" Jonah looks at me doubtfully.
I lost my patience, so I get up directly. "Forget it, I don''t care. If you want me to leave him, go talk to
him. See you."
Then, I leave without looking back.
On the way, my mind is filled with what Jonah said just now. Did Harrison reallye to mest
night because he was worried about me?
But why? I''m not his girlfriend, or even his friend.
My phone keeps ringing. It''s from Harrison.
"Jonah just came to me and now you''re calling me. What a coincidence." I joke.
Harrison seems to be busy. He pauses for a few seconds before saying, "Why did hee to you?"
"He gave me a check for one billion and wanted me to leave you."
I said that on purpose because I''m curious about his reaction.
Unfortunately, he has little reaction. I''m a bit angry. "You''re not curious if I said yes?"
"That ck card is worth a lot more than one million grand. I don''t think you would make a stupid
choice." Harrison says with a light smile.
Hisugh is still so pleasant even over the phone, like the spring breeze.
I nod, butter I realize he can''t see it. "You know me well. I don''t like the way Jonah''s acting, but
he''s really nice to you."

"You want to know more about my friend?" He seems to have finished his work and starts to chat
with me.
I didn''t ask him why he came to see mest night until I hung up. He didn''t mention it, either.
Unknowingly, we have a tacit understanding.
What I need to worry about right now is work. Originally, I wanted to get some advice from Harrison,
but I gave up on second thought. I can''t rely on him forever, can I?
I thought aboutbor arbitration, litigation and so on. To my surprise, mypany just releases a
list ofyoffs.
And I''m on it.
There''s no turning back now. I can refuse to quit, but I can''t stop thepany fromying me off.
My boss won''t see me, and my colleagues refuse to talk to me.
I''m kicked out of thepany like a rat.
After packing up my stuff, I go to the elevator and see Sean. Instead of going in, I take a step back.
"You''re noting in?" Sean presses the button and waits for me to enter.
