“Margaret, have a little decency! The scratch card isn’t marked! Whoever holds it owns it!”
Just then, someone suddenly dashed in through the doorway.
Overcome with joy, she threw herself into Bryce’s embrace. “Bryce, how true is it?!”
“You actually won a hundred million?”
The one who rushed in was my best friend, Edith Meyers. When I had been chasing after Bryce, she was the one who helped me think of all sorts of plans.
But never had I imagined that now, right before my eyes, she would throw herself into Bryce’s arms.
And after hearing about the win, the very first person Bryce shared the news with was her.
Anyone could instantly see what kind of relationship they had.
At this time, Bryce didn’t even try to hide anything. With his arm wrapped affectionately around Edith’s shoulders, he said, “It’s true, Edith. From now on, I’ll look after you, alright?”
“Edith, I think it’s you who brought me this luck!”
“It must’ve been that kiss you gave me today, that’s why I won!”
“So, it’s only right that this prize money includes a share for you!”
My mind went blank.
The scratch card had been taken from me, yet the prize had nothing to do with me at all.
