Ginny stood outside the Triplet Towers, adjusting her dress. She looked around every few seconds, waiting. She was excited because Savannah and Dora were coming to visit, and Ginny would be able to show off.She had waited so long to be their friend. Back in school, they were the popular girls, they always dressed well and were always surrounded by others. Ginny wasn’t popular like them, but she wanted to be. She had always admired them from afar.Everything changed the day Dora had a party. Ginny wasn’t even invited, but she showed up anyway and begged Dora to let her stay. After that, she tried every day to get close to them. She even pleaded with Savannah to let her hang around more. Savannah was dating Jett, one of the richest and most handsome boys in school, and Ginny hoped that by sticking close to her, she might get lucky too. Maybe one day, she could date one of Jett’s rich friends. That was her dream.For the past few weeks, Ginny had been telling them that her family was m

“There’s a penthouse in this building?” Dora asked, her eyes wide as she moved closer to Eric. She looked surprised and excited at the same time. “You mean not just a regular apartment like this?”Eric nodded. “Yes, there is a real penthouse in this building.”Ginny’s mouth dropped open. “Are you serious right now?” she asked, clearly shocked. “I thought this whole place was just filled with normal apartments. I didn’t think there would be a penthouse here.”She shook her head. “A penthouse in the Triplet Towers, that’s crazy. Do you know what that means? That means one person is living on a whole floor by themselves! An entire floor just for one person! Just one person living on the whole top floor. That person must be super rich, like crazy rich.”“An entire floor for one person?” Dora repeated. “That’s insane. It must cost a lot of money.”Eric nodded again. “It’s more than insane. The penthouse is ten times more expensive than the normal apartments and you already know these reg

It had been fifteen full minutes since Eric went upstairs, and he knew very well that the others were probably already getting tired of waiting but how could he go back down to them without the card? What was he even going to tell them? That he lied? That he didn’t really have access to the penthouse? That would be so embarrassing, especially in front of Ginny.He had searched the drawer where his dad always kept the card, but it was still empty. He opened it again, hoping it would magically appear, but it was still not there.Eric stood in the middle of the room, breathing hard, sweat already covering his forehead. His shirt was sticking to his back and he was starting to panic a little.Where is this stupid card?! he thought, already regretting ever opening his mouth to mention the penthouse. He shouldn’t have said anything at all. He shouldn’t have tried to show off.He took a deep breath and decided to check his father’s room. Maybe his dad had moved it without telling him as tha

The door opened fully and Nolan stood there, holding two big black trash bags in both hands. He paused as soon as he saw the people standing in front of his door and his eyes widened in shock.They were his classmates and they all froze when they saw him too.For a moment, everyone just stood there, staring at each other. Nolan was the first to look away. He was confused and didn’t understand what was happening.The trash bags he was holding were full and heavy, and he had to drop them, as if it would help him to think straight. But all their eyes weren’t on the bags, they were on him and the door behind him and what that door meant. He had just opened the penthouse door from the inside and they couldn’t believe their eyes. .Ginny was the first to speak. Her mouth dropped open as she pointed at Nolan.“Nolan?!” she said loudly, stepping forward to look lat him closely. “What… what the hell are you doing here?!”She looked around at the others, then back at Nolan, looking at him

Manager Lee walked forward with a serious look on his face. His eyebrows were raised as he looked directly at Eric with questioning eyes. Eric felt nervous immediately. His legs started shaking a bit, and he didn’t know where to put his hands. He looked down, then looked at the wall, then the ceiling, anywhere but at Manager Lee.“Can I ask you a question?” Manager Lee said, walking closer to him again. “Why are you here?”Eric opened his mouth to answer but no words came out. He was still in shock and didn’t know what to say. His friends were all looking at him, waiting for his answer and waiting for him to tell manager Lee that he was related to the person that stayed in the penthouse but he couldn’t talk. If he said the wrong thing, he could get into big trouble.Then, Ginny suddenly stepped forward with her hands on her hips and a ugly look on her face. She rolled her eyes and scoffed loudly.“Do you even know who you’re talking to?” she said, pointing at Manager Lee like he was
