Seven years ago, Lucas Reed and I broke up because we were from different worlds. Seven years later, I'm a corporate executive earning a million a year. And Lucas, bankrupt, has become a delivery guy. Looking at the still handsome man in front of me, I casually handed him a bank card. "Five thousand a month. I'll be your sugar mommy." Lucas accepted the card with utter humiliation. The day after he moved into my place, I accidentally heard him on the phone: "I'm busy, don't bother me with small projects worth five hundred million." 1 I never thought my reunion with Lucas would be so dramatic. "Hello ma'am, your delivery." Lucas held the bag with one hand, slowly putting away his impatient expression. He narrowed his eyes and looked me up and down several times before asking in disbelief: "Sophia?" I looked up at Lucas in a daze. Haven't seen him for seven years, he's still so handsome. The yellow delivery uniform worn on his broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs looked like luxury haute couture. Earlier this year, I heard classmates chatting occasionally, saying Lucas's family seemed to have gone bankrupt. I didn't take it to heart at the time. A starved camel is still bigger than a horse. No matter what happened to the Reed family, they were much better off than us ordinary people, not my place to sympathize. But I never expected Lucas to be reduced to delivering food. Graduated from a prestigious school, looking like a supermodel, what job couldn't he find? Why deliver food? Lucas, how have you been these years? Are you married? Do you have kids? A thousand words turned into one sentence on my lips: "You're late." Lucas was stunned, then chuckled, his eyes curved like crescents. "Sophia, haven't seen you for years, you're still so funny." I just looked at him silently. I understand, I understand everything. The favored son of heaven fell to the mortal world, and was bumped into by his ex-girlfriend at his most down-and-out moment. Besides using jokes to alleviate embarrassment, he could do nothing. 2 "You have an order that is late, please deliver it as soon as possible." The phone Lucas placed on his chest vibrated non-stop, interrupting my thoughts. He frowned, took out his phone, and chose to turn it off without hesitation. I was stunned by his willful operation. "I heard a late order deducts 20 bucks, you must be losing a lot of money." "Can you afford to raise a wife and kids?" Lucas put the phone in his pocket nonchalantly. "One person full, the whole family not hungry." Oh, so he is still single. My gaze slowly moved down from Lucas's face, finally settling on his lower abdomen. Haven't seen him for years, are his abs still as shaped as before? Last month I went to see a Chinese doctor for irregular periods, and the doctor suggested I find a boyfriend. He said it was endocrine disorders due to being single for too long. If I really didn't have a boyfriend, looking at handsome guys more would also work. Handsome guy, isn't he here? "Sophia, you're drooling." I flusteredly raised my sleeve to wipe the corner of my mouth, only to find Lucas was tricking me. He looked at my awkward and embarrassed appearance, chest vibrating, laughing until tears came out. "Sophia, you're so cute." Cute? Cute my ass! I turned angry from embarrassment, suddenly remembering our unpleasant breakup experience. 3 Lucas and I were college classmates. He was low-key and didn't deliberately show off his wealth. And I didn't know his family background was amazing until graduation. At that time, Lucas invited me to his house as a guest. I used my internship salary saved for several months to carefully prepare gifts. Lucas's mom threw them to the nanny casually, saying these defective products wouldn't even be eaten by their nanny, asking the nanny to give them to poor relatives in the countryside. Lucas's sister even took out a photo, telling me their family planned to arrange a marriage with this girl. In another two months, the beautiful girl in the photo would become Lucas's fiancée. "Oh, don't worry, my brother is very generous." "Before breaking up, he will definitely give you a breakup fee." I was still very young then. Except for fragile pride and self-esteem, I had nothing. When Lucas chased out from the bathroom, I had already run far away and blocked all his contact information. After the breakup, I spent a dark time. My best friend couldn't bear to see me washing my face with tears every day and went to question Lucas. But Lucas's attitude was extremely cold, saying something like he misjudged me. I gave up completely and threw all my energy into work. Men will change their hearts, work won't. All the time and energy you put in will be rewarded. Just like now. I remembered the humiliation his family once inflicted on me, and blood rushed up. That's called anger rising from the heart, evil growing to the gall. I turned back into the room, and under Lucas's surprised gaze, took out a bank card from my bag and handed it to him, with a slow and arrogant attitude. "Lucas, working hard delivering food, you can't make much money a month, right?" "Why not follow me, I'll give you a salary of 5,000 a month, how about it?" 4 Lucas didn't speak, just stared at my slender and fair fingers. Just when my arm was getting sore, he suddenly lowered his head and responded softly, almost inaudibly. "Okay." Looking at his sad and heartbroken appearance, fragile enough to shatter, I felt I was about to shatter too. 5,000! That's 5,000 dollars a month! I just wanted to humiliate him, why did he agree? Shouldn't he slap away my bank card, drop a sentence "Don't bully the middle-aged poor" and then turn around and leave? Heaven knows what I paid for this million-dollar annual salary! Although my annual salary is a million, that's pre-tax. After deducting various taxes and social security, I only get about 60,000 a month in hand. My hand holding the bank card was trembling slightly. Lucas tried to pull the card from my hand, failing three times. "Sophia, you don't actually have money, do you?" Lucas looked teasingly, the corners of his thin and shaped lips turned up, pulling a mocking smile lightly. I really wanted to admit I was posturing. But my self-esteem didn't allow it. So I let go, tossing my head arrogantly. "Work hard, serve me well, salary doubles." Lucas left with my card with an extremely complicated expression. He didn't take the card, but my heart. I decided, no matter how well he does, I will nitpick. A month later, fire him on the grounds of poor service. This way I only lose 5,000 dollars, okay okay, not too much. 5 "Where is he?" "Where is the person?!" Bestie Chloe rushed into my house with messy hair, wearing cartoon pajamas, mask not yet peeled off her face. I put down my phone and rolled my eyes at her. "You're fast enough." Just finished talking to her about Lucas, less than five minutes, she arrived. Her apartment complex isn't close to mine, takes more than ten minutes to drive, at least half an hour if there's traffic. "Cut the crap, where's Lucas?!" "Left of course, won't come until tomorrow night." Chloe bounded in front of me like a rabbit, winking ambiguously at me. "Thought about how to humiliate him yet?" "Whip, candle, and handcuffs?" "Two sets of butler outfits?" Butler outfits? What butler outfits, the kind of sexy apron revealing eight-pack abs, or... Thinking of Lucas wearing an apron with that ascetic and cold face, I felt heat all over my body. Especially in the lower abdomen, besides heat, there was a familiar soreness. I pressed Chloe's face and pushed her away, running quickly to the toilet. After a long time, a muffled groan came from the toilet. "Chloe, I got my period." "Seems like there's no pads at home, go buy some for me." Chloe poked half a head from the door, looking amazed. "My god!" "If I remember correctly, you haven't had a period for two months, right?" "Period that Chinese medicine couldn't bring down, came after seeing Lucas once?" "Exciting!" I casually picked up the tissue beside me and threw it at her face. "Get out!" 6 The next morning I was woken up by the doorbell. With messy hair, I stared dumbfounded at the row of huge suitcases at the door. Lucas raised an eyebrow, revealing a brilliant smile at me. "Good morning, sugar mommy." I grabbed his wrist, staring incredulously at the watch that looked very expensive. "It's only six in the morning, bro!" "This watch is fake, high-end imitation," Our voices sounded at the same time. Lucas withdrew his wrist, calmly took off the watch and stuffed it into his bag. "Didn't you say perform well and salary doubles?" "Of course I have to be diligent." Damn it! Actually having this kind of thought! Lucas pushed the suitcase and walked very naturally into my bedroom. Seeing he was about to hang clothes in my closet, I hurried to stop him. "What are you doing?" Lucas blinked innocently. "Didn't you say serve you?" "How to serve you without living together?" The last few words, he leaned into my ear to say, deliberately using a vocal fry. "You, you you." My face flushed red, feeling Lucas really fell. To make money, actually wanted to seduce me. Seems his life hasn't been easy these years. The flower of the high mountains fell from the altar, finally knowing the value of money. "Your room is over there, I'm used to sleeping alone." Lucas pushed the luggage and strode away, his back revealing a bit of disappointment. Disappointment? Must be me overthinking.
