WorldNovelChapter 202: Allison, you still remember me? Devin said, a hint of disbelief lacing his voice.
With his short and chubby build, people had taken to calling him Shorty, a nicknthat stuck to him like a shadow.
When he first stepped into the parking lot of the grand building, even the security guards shot him skeptical glances, as if he were a mirage in a desert of luxury.
Inside, he simmered, daydreaming of the moment when he would flip the script and put those who had dismissed him in their place.
So, when he spotted Allison making her way over, he wasted no tclosing the distance between them. Weve known each other for years! Devins eyes roamed over Allisons high-end attire and designer bag, envy twisting in his gut.
Just as Melany had said, Allison had indeed climbed the ladder of success and turned into a vision of beauty. His smile turned earnest as he greeted her.
We grew up together in the orphanage.
I recognized you the instant I saw you.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIts been ages since we last met.
Ive truly missed you.
Allison merely scoffed, casting a lazy glance his way.
Friends? You? Her eyes flicked over him with biting sarcasm.
Would a friend swipe my toys, cut my hair, steal my pocket money, and freezeout with the other kids back at the orphanage? Her voice was like a chill wind, sending shivers down his spine.
I never want to see your face again.
So, before my patience runs thin, scram while you still can.
Despite his many failures, Devin clung to a bloated sense of self-respect.
Her words ignited a fire within him, fury bubbling just beneath the surface.
But as he thought of the seven-hundred-thousand-dollar reward, he forced himself to swallow his anger, adopting a façade of disbelief and grievance.
Allison, how can you possibly think oflike that? In his mind, he cast himself as the hero of stic saga.
His eyes turned red as he tried to plead his case.
Ive never forgotten you all these years.
Back then, I was just a kid, foolish and immature.
I picked on you because I liked you I wanted your attention! Such a story might have worked on a naive girl.
Allison couldnt help but chuckle at the absurdity of it all.
Are you so broke now that you cant even afford a mirror to check yourself out? She appraised him with a critical eye.
Your pathetic little ploys wont fly with me.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmYou might want to consider a more drastic approach if you want attention.
I guarantee youll be the talk of Ontdale tomorrow if you hang yourself here.
A smirk danced on her lips.
How about it? Worth a shot? Devins face fell like a lead balloon.
When had she becso sharp-tongued? Seething with anger, Devin forced a look of deep affection onto his features. I was just being a kid, you know? Dont all guys act a little goofy when they like a girl? We tease to get noticed.
But Ive grown up now.
Be with me! Ill take care of you and make sure youre always on clouch nine! He ran a hand through his hair, projecting an air of unshakeable confidence. And Allison, I know youve got feelings for me.
Why else would you still remember me? Allison couldnt be bothered to spare him another glance.
Where had this clueless fool cfrom? Did he really have no om self-awareness? Ill say this one last time: get lost. Move aside.
