Riches in Disguise

Though she wore a white tank top underneath, her curves swayed as she moved.

I felt my face flush, and my eyes were drawn to them.

She seemed to notice my gaze and deliberately crossed her arms, making them even more pronounced.

"Mr. White, what do you think? Do you like it?"

I found myself responding without thinking, "Yeah. I like it."

"Do you want to touch it?"

"What?" I finally looked up, shock registering on my face as I took in her beautiful features. "T-touch it? Are you serious?"

To be honest, I wasn't interested when other women said things like that. However, her figure was simply too stunning. My heart raced a little.

Lucy blinked and walked over to the front of the car, patting its surface. "I

personally picked out this sports car for you. It has excellent performance and a good price. You like it, so why not touch it?"

I nearly choked on my drink. She was talking about the car.

I glanced at the Rolls-Royce Ghost she had picked. It was a stunning car. Its

classic curves exuded elegance, and it had a solid, powerful presence with quick, smooth acceleration. My dad owned one just like it.

If I remembered correctly, this car cost over 5 million dollars. Given our relationship, I couldn't just take such an expensive gift from her.

"I appreciate your gesture, but—"

"Don't give me any buts! This car is mine. I'm not giving it to you. I'm just lending it to you. You can drive it however you want during your four years of college. When you're ready to buy a new car or leave Welsington, just return it to me."

With that, she placed the car keys right in my palm.

"This is from my dad, and he's already talked to your dad about it. If you don't believe me, call your dad and ask."

I couldn't help but question if that was really the case.

I called my dad, and he immediately said, "Just accept it. Mr. Zimmer just asked me for a small favor. He doesn't want to owe me anything, so he figured this would be a way to settle it. He's not giving it to you, so just drive it."

However, I had just begun to enjoy pretending to be poor and didn't want to reveal my true identity yet. Still, the thought of the villa I had just purchased eased my mind. I could always park the car in the garage there.

When I parked the car and took a taxi back to the city with Lucy, I noticed her expression turning frantic.

"Why are you taking a taxi instead of driving the car I gave you? What kind of quirk is that?"

I smiled at her. "You know my situation. If I suddenly showed up in a Ghost, my classmates would freak out. I just want to get through these four years quietly."

She sighed. "If you think pretending to be poor will help you make real friends, I advise you to give that up.

"Once they find out you're wealthy, their attitude will change in an instant. You and they just won't be from the same world, so why force it?"

"We'll deal with that when the time comes. For now, I'm just happy."

"Okay. As long as you're happy," she replied with a smile before looking at me. "So, do you see me as just another one of those rich women you can't stand?"

I quickly shook my head. "No, of course not! You're different!"

She raised an eyebrow. "Oh? How am I different?"noveldrama

"You're prettier, and your figure is better."

She burst out laughing and playfully pinched my cheek. "Don't flatter me like that.

I have zero resistance to sweet young guys like you. I could just gobble you up!"

My cheeks flushed as I pushed her hand away. "Don't treat me like a little boy! I'm only two years younger than you!"

"If you don't want me to treat you like a little boy..." Suddenly, she leaned in closer, blowing softly in my ear while her hand rested on my thigh. "Then you'll have to show me your manly side."
