| took a deep breath and said, "Lina, calm down and listen to me. I'm out of money now!"
Lina, who had been agitated this whole time, froze when she heard what | said. Her demeanor changed
completely, and she stared atwith wide eyes.
"What do you mean?"
| scoffed inwardly. As | thought, she was just after money.
"I said I'm out of money. | lied last time, but this time, it's true. You already know about the money | donated and
the amount | spent on Felicia's clothes.
"I've also been spending a bit on food and dates with her, so I'm running dry. | only have about 8,000 bucks left.
If you want to borrow money, | can only spare you 2,000 dollars."

She stared at me, dumbfounded. The affectionate and pitiful mask she wore earlier has been replaced by shock
and disbelief.
"You've spent all the money?"
I nodded. "All of it."
Lina stood there, speechless. A moment later, her eyes lit up again. "Hang on, didn't you also win a Rolex
yesterday? That watch could fetch quite a hefty amount."
She said, "Sell it to helpout for now. We can buy it back later, okay?"
I silently sneered. First my money, now even my watch? | had underestimated how greedy she truly was. Since |
wasn't wearing the watch, | flat-out lied, "I gave it to my dad. It's not withanymore."
Lina looked utterly stupefied. "W-What? William, are you an idiot?" she shrieked, dropping the act. She had rarely
cursed in all the years I've known her, so she was clearly losing her composure.
| burst out laughing. "How does giving my watch to my dad makean idiot? It's my watch, and | can give it to
whoever | want."
Lina frowned, clearly annoyed. "Fine, then. I'll stop arguing with you. Just givethe 8,000 dollars you have
left."
As if I'd do that! | gave her a cold stare. "I'd really be an idiot if | gave you my money."
She seemed stunned by my words. "What do you mean by that?"
| smirked. "I was going to ask you the sthing. Where'd you find the nerve to
askfor money? Who do you think you are?
"Be glad I'm not asking you instead," | retorted.

"Are you saying that you won't give it to me?" Lina seethed.
gave her a blank stare. "Sorry, no can do." Even if | hadn't seen through her or if she was genuinely sorry, | still
wouldn't have lent her any money. | knew all too well that | would never get that money back, and | wasn't
generous enough to fund my ex-girlfriend for free.
"Fine! | was wrong about you, William!" Lina spun on her heel and stormed off.
| shook my head as | watched her retreat. | felt guilty that my resolve had nearly wavered earlier. It seemed like |
needed more practice in resisting urges.
Just then, | received a call from Matthew.
"Hey, William. Where are you right now? If you're free, cto the bar," he said. "It's closing down soon, so let's
have one last drink there."
"It's closing down?"
| was surprised.
