“What was that for?” Landon was very annoyed right now.

Landon had said he would give her money in a couple of minutes. He just needed to withdraw and that would be all but instead, he got slapped by Elena.

“Are you stupid?! Really a few minutes?! So is that the lie you want to tell me so that I will let you go away and I won’t see you again for a while?! You are a very terrible human being! Was I a bad person to borrow you some money?! Tell me?! You are not only poor but the worst person ever!” Elena yelled.

“But I said I just need to withdraw so that I can pay you so why do you have to slap me?!” Landon was fuming right now.

“Oh really?” Elena replied unwilling to believe him. “You want a few minutes to go withdraw the money huh?! Who do you take for a fool? If you want to pay me my money you will ask for my account details and make a transfer! You don’t need to go withdraw away to go make a withdrawal you imbecile! Just admit it you want to ditch me without paying me today!”

“That’s not true!”

“Then if so just do the transfer!”

“I can’t do a transfer right now…but I can make a withdrawal!” Landon replied calmly after realizing they Elena was simply misunderstanding him.

The truth was that he couldn’t really do a transfer because there was no money in his personal bank account.

He only has money in the black card Eve had given him which was why he needed to withdraw and pay Elena in cash. Maybe later he may decide to transfer some funds from the black card to his personal bank account using an ATM but Elena does not know this. She mistook his attempt of trying to pay her for him escaping.

“Liar! You think you can get away without paying my money but you are going to pay me today!”

“I will pay you your money just let me make a withdrawal!”

“Just a transfer goddamn it! Why can’t you transfer to me right now if you don’t have cash.”

“That’s because I can’t…”Landon did not know how to explain himself out of this situation but he could not tell Elena about his black card so he could only insist on his excuse. “Please I have the money. I can’t transfer you just have to let me make a withdrawal.”

Elena grabbed Landon’s shirt and was about to give him another slap until the young man she was with held her hands.

“Dear, you don’t need to do this. You are a classy lady. Don’t let this filthy trash ruin our day. Tell me how much he owes you?”

“Fernando this imbecile owes me 300 dollars and today he’s going to pay!”

“It’s okay dear. It’s okay.” Fernando replied. “I’ll make a transfer of 1000 dollars to you on his behalf just let the lowlife be and we will be on our way.”

At this point, people had already gathered due to the scene Elena was causing and Fernando’s gesture was instantly noticed by the ladies around.

“Oh wow, he sure is handsome.”

“He’s also a gentleman as well. He doesn’t look like a student.”

“I wish I could have a boyfriend like him.”

People started praising Fernando and it made him feel good about himself. In fact, he’s not really a student but a graduated corporate heir who loves to pick beauties on campus. Elena was indeed a beauty and he planned to take her shopping today so behaving gentlemanly was one sure way to get into Elena’s heart and then her pants. Haha.

“Fernando you don’t need to pay for him!” Elena insisted.

“Don’t worry I insist. Just let go of the trash don’t let him waste our time! ” Fernando smiled.

“Elena let go of the Low life. We still have to go out after all.”

Slap!

Listening to Fernando Elena let go of Landon’s collar but not without giving him one more slap.

“Better thank goodness you are lucky that Fernando helped you today you poor imbecile.”

At this point, Landon gritted his teeth in anger. This is the second time Elena had slapped him.

To be honest he was tempted to return the favor ten times but he decided against it because she was a woman. Before Landon even had time to react Elena and Fernando had walked away not caring about his opinion at all.

“Hahaha. Hey imbecile! Try to make some money so that you won’t be slapped like that again!”

A voice was heard among the bystanders which caused laughter to erupt among the crowd.

Landon had been placed in a bad mood because of the embarrassment he had just received. He only simply wanted to pay Elena back but two slaps was what he received in public.

Ring! Ring!

The sound of his phone ringing caught his attention from what was going on.

It was Jude.

[ “Bro where have you been all day? Are you okay” Jude asked after sensing Landon’s tonality. He could tell Landon was not in a good mood. ]

“I’m fine bro. I just submitted my term paper. What’s up?”

[“Where are you, bro?” ]

“I’m coming back to the dorm why?”

[ “Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten what today is?” ]

“Huh?….”Landon replied, feeling bewildered. “What’s happening today?”

[ “Bro come on! It’s Kara’s birthday today! It should be starting in an hour so find a way to be there! We don’t want you to be late so find a way to be there! Besides, there’s no way you are missing the fun today! We won’t be happy if you do” ]

Landon felt like he had been struck by lightning when he heard Jude’s reply. He had absolutely forgotten about Kara’s birthday.

“Don’t worry I’ll be there. I’ll definitely be there!”

[“Okay bro we will be waiting for you. I know you are going through a lot but let’s use this party as a means to forget our problems and have fun okay?!”]

Landon chuckled. “Of course, I’ll meet you guys there bro.”

Landon hung up and the minute he did his phone rang again.

It was Kara, herself!

Landon answered the call. “Hello, Kara.”

[ “Landon I called to remind you today is my birthday hope I’ll be seeing you this evening?!” ]

“Yes. I’ll be there.”

[ “Okay good. Remember it’s at Oceanic Oasis bar! I’m expecting to see you there!” ]

“I know I’ll be there.” Landon hung up and sighed.

He’s no longer going to the dormitory. Since it’s Kara’s birthday he had to get her a gift.

In normal circumstances this would’ve been a challenging task for him but was there anything normal about him anymore?

With 100 billion dollars now in his hands getting Kara a gift would not be a challenging task at all…

On that note, Landon hailed a cab out of campus on the mission of getting his dear friend something as a gift.
