I also laughed when I heard what had happened.
So they skipped the complimentary breakfast and insisted on the paid one? Were they out of their minds?
My family had gone on countless trips and stayed in numerous hotels. Despite having plenty of money, we never looked down on the complimentary breakfasts.
I had previously called them nouveau riche just to irritate them, but now, I genuinely thought they acted like it. They definitely were like nouveau riche to me.
Just because they got a bit of money, they acted like they had all the money in the world to burn, finding joy in stirring up unnecessary drama.
"Let's go, Felicia and Mrs. Cylon. I'll take you out for some sightseeing."
To give Mrs. Cylon a good travel experience, I specifically asked Victor to arrange some itineraries and even hired a tour guide. So, for the next few days, Felicia and I did nothing but accompany Mrs. Cylon and follow the guide around Welsington City.
We indulged in food, entertainment, and sightseeing—all thoroughly enjoyable.
After a few days, Mrs. Cylon's initial awkwardness finally eased. She smiled more and spoke with greater confidence.
However, our frequent absences from class displeased Tom. He called Felicia and me separately, warning us that continued truancy would result in credit deductions.
His tone wasn't harsh. He was just being professional and exercising his authority as a counselor.
Ever since Ryan was arrested and the truth about the stolen money was revealed, Tom seemed to avoid me. During meetings, he never made eye contact with me and preferred to relay messages to me through others instead of interacting with me directly.
At this moment, Louis suddenly approached the seat before me, looking distressed as he asked Zack for a loan.
Zack frowned, looking troubled. "I'm broke, too."
Louis pleaded pitifully, "Just a few hundred will. Help me get through this month. I don't even have money for food now."
"Then eat less! You still haven't paid me back the 200 dollars you borrowed last month."
"Loan me 800 first. Once I get my allowance next month, I'll pay you 1,100 dollars in return."
Hearing this, Zack finally took out his phone to transfer 800 dollars to him.
