Chapter 57Carl was surprised. The moment he stepped out of his apartment building that morning, the first person he saw was a familiar man. For a brief second, Carl thought he was imagining things. But no, the man stood there calmly, dressed in another expensive suit, his hands behind his back as though he had been waiting for him all morning.Carl's brows twitched. His mind instantly drifted back to that strange night, the night he had been stranded and was desperately searching for a cab but some ended up meeting this man with so many expensive cars behind him. At the time, the man had acted as though their meeting was nothing more than a coincidence. Yet now, seeing him standing in front of his apartment building first thing in the morning, Carl found that explanation harder and harder to believe.What's he doing here? Carl thinks that the man shouldn't have been able to recognise this place since it was in the night that they brought him home. Is it a coincidence? He sighed d

"Geez, get lost!"Carl nearly shouted as he shoved the arm wrapped across his body.Goodness, why does my morning have to start with seeing this brat?Groaning, he pushed away the sleeping Louis, who had somehow managed to throw his entire body onto him during the night.Carl was so annoyed with himself that he couldn't stop frowning.Although he had agreed to let a stranger stay the night, he had never intended to fall asleep. Worse still, he couldn't believe he had dozed off on the sofa right beside this troublesome brat.Argh!If anger could kill, Carl would have died a hundred times over in the span of a few seconds."His name is Louis... Louis..." Carl muttered while staring at the sleeping figure. "Can't you just do your job and leave, huh?"A moment later, he shook his head.Forget it. It's not like he can hear me.Rolling his eyes, Carl headed to his room for a shower.After getting dressed for the day, he went into the kitchen to prepare a quick breakfast.Since he was only

While waiting for Louis to return, and with nothing else occupying his time, Carl picked up his phone and began scrolling through it.A moment later, he checked his bank balance.“Argh! Carl, you're going broke!”After doing a quick calculation, he realized he only had around ten thousand dollars left.As for where all his money had disappeared to, he knew exactly why.That so-called largest medical supply store in the city had practically robbed him blind.They had completely drained his wallet.And then there was the room renovation.Carl had never imagined he would spend so much money furnishing a single room. Still, he had no intention of stopping midway. If he was doing it, then it had to be done properly.Rubbing his temples, he sighed heavily.Being poor wasn't pleasant.But being flat broke was even worse.“What can I do? What can I do...?” Carl muttered, staring thoughtfully at the ceiling.Suddenly, his eyes lit up.“Ah! I know.”He immediately sat upright.The next moment,

“Hello, who are you?” Carl asked, his face filled with confusion as he stood at the doorway staring at the blond-haired man before him. His mood was already sour after being dragged out of bed by the relentless ringing of the doorbell.The blond-haired man seemed completely oblivious to Carl’s frown. He casually brushed past him and walked straight into the house as if he owned the place.“Hey, I’m Louis. We chatted yesterday. I’m the furnisher,” he said as he made himself comfortable on the sofa.Without sparing Carl’s stunned expression a glance, he dropped his black backpack beside him.“You’re really the person I spoke with yesterday?” Carl asked again, disbelief evident in his voice.“Mhm.” Louis nodded. “Didn’t Fatty show you my picture?”“Heh? Fatty? Who’s that?” Carl blinked in confusion.“Fatty is the one who introduced me to you. My maternal uncle.” Louis shrugged, stretching his arms across the back of the sofa.From that description, Carl immediately realized he was talkin

Carl walked out of the store but didn't leave right away. His gaze drifted toward the security post, and after a brief hesitation, he headed in that direction."Hello, can I ask you something?" he asked the security guard."Sure." The guard nodded."I'm looking for someone who furnishes rooms. Do you know anyone?"Before approaching the guard, Carl had spent some time debating whether he should search online for someone to help design his medicine room. However, after giving it some thought, he decided it would be better to ask someone directly and get a recommendation."Hmm..."Carl stood quietly to the side, patiently waiting while the guard thought."Oh, yeah. I can give you his contact information. If you need his services tomorrow, he'll definitely come," the guard finally said confidently.Carl felt relieved upon hearing that, but he couldn't help being curious about the man's confidence."How do you know him?"He wanted to be certain that the person being recommended was reliab

“Excuse me, are you talking to me?” Carl turned toward the middle-aged pharmacist. His expression remained calm and polite because he chose to believe those rude remarks weren't directed at him.“Hmph. Of course I'm talking to you. Who else is acting so arrogantly? Everyone has been staring at you, yet you keep piling up medicines as if nobody else exists.”At the pharmacist words, Carl glanced around.Sure enough, the pharmacist wasn't exaggerating.Almost every customer in the pharmacy had paused what they were doing and was staring at him with obvious disdain.Scoff!“And how exactly is that any of your business?” Carl shot back coldly. “I'm here to shop, just like everyone else. If you don't like the way I do things, then ignore me or leave. Either way, it has nothing to do with me.”His voice carried a trace of anger.What kind of nonsense was this?Under normal circumstances, he might have politely explained that he wasn't being arrogant. But after receiving such judgmental loo
