Chapter 3

I'm working four jobs a day and I'm busy as hell.

In addition to the money owed by the company, my sister's illness requires a lot of money and I have to work harder.

Just after 800 p.m., I got a strange phone call.

I thought it was a debt collector and didn't answer, but after the other person called three or four times, I picked up anyway.

It was an unfamiliar voice, Your sister broke a gentleman's diamond necklace, and if you don't come over, your sister is going to the police station.

I panicked and grabbed my cell phone and ran out the door.

I rushed into the jewelry store and saw my sister, who was at her wit's end.

My sister has loved diamonds since she was a little girl, and when Mom and Dad were alive, they gave her a diamond necklace every year.

It dawned on me that it was my sister's birthday.

The clerk saw me and grumbled for a while, This diamond necklace was custom made for the gentleman inside, it's the only one in the entire capital city and is worth two hundred thousand dollars, see how you can compensate for it.

I shielded my sister behind me and bowed deeply, I'm sorry sir, I'll pay for it, please don't take my sister to the police station.

The other guy didn't say anything. He must have been pissed.

I'm really sorry, when I save up enough money, I'll make sure to pay you back in full.

How long

The question sounded somewhat familiar to me.

I looked up and saw Luke Miller.

While I chased Alexander Hodges for four years in college, Luke Miller pursued me for a while.

He was tall, well-built, with handsome features and eight-pack abs, which made him my ideal type by all accounts.

But at the time I had Alexander Hodges in my eyes, couldn't see past the stuffy, uncommunicative and hard-working poor boy, ignored him, even hurt him.

I was terrified.

He started his own business his sophomore year and is now a newcomer to the capital's business community.

Now he was wearing a sophisticated suit and neat tie, the wristwatch on his hand showed his nobility, and he looked like a nobleman.

His beautiful dainty eyes fell on me, his voice detached and cold, How long

I... I'll do it as soon as I can. I tried to figure out that it should be faster if I worked one more job, and busied myself with, About a year.

I can't wait that long.

With a thump in my heart, I asked shakily, How long do you want me to pay it back

My sister, who hadn't said anything all this time, held tears in her eyes and tugged at the hem of my shirt, Sister, I just came in to take a look. I didn't want two kids to chase and fight, and I was bumped by the kids before I accidentally broke this gentleman's necklace.

It's okay, I have my sister.

I mustered up enough courage to look like him, Luke Miller, could you please give me a little more time, please

Luke Miller on the couch gets up and clears everyone out.

The waitress showed her sister to the pantry.

He walked up to me, leaned in, and lowered his voice to my ear, Since you can't pay it back, you can just pay it back with your body.
