Chapter 3:An Unexpected Request

Lily stepped into the cozy cafe and spotted James sitting by the window. She walked over to him, curiosity etched on her face.

"What brought me here?" Lily asked, getting straight to the point.

The waitress interrupted, "Welcome to Cafe Bliss! Can I take your order?"

James smiled mischievously. "I'll have a strawberry ice cream with extra cream mousse, rainbow sprinkles, and a cherry on top."

Lily ordered simply, "Just coffee for me, thank you."

As the waitress left, James turned serious. "Lily, I need your help. I require seventy thousand dollars today."

Lily's eyebrows shot up. "What's this for? Didn't I give you one hundred thousand dollars just last week? And aren't you working?"

James looked sheepish. "My salary is too low."

Lily's expression turned stern. "Your salary is five hundred thousand dollars, courtesy of my conversation with your boss. What more do you want?"

James' eyes widened, and he protested, "I...I didn't know."

Lily's tone softened, "Fine. I'll transfer sixty thousand dollars. Find the rest yourself."

James beamed with gratitude. "Thanks, Lily!"

As Lily paid for their orders – three hundred dollars for the coffee and ice cream – James couldn't help but think, "She's not only stunning but also a jackpot." He left the cafe, feeling relieved.

Lily, meanwhile, remembered her meeting with Jenny at Amazing Park. She hastily paid, using her card, and rushed out. Her luxurious car roared to life as she sped away.

Little did James know, Lily's wealth was merely a fraction of her remarkable life. With over nine hundred billion dollars in her account, she was a force to be reckoned with. Yet, her boyfriend's humble job and James' relentless requests remained a puzzle.

"Cale, calm down, son," his stepmother, freya, implored.

Cale's response was icy. "You're not part of this conversation."

Williams, Cale's father, intervened, his anger rising. "That's your mother you're speaking to, young man!"

Cale snapped back, "I think you forgot she's my stepmother at this point."
