532 Aren't You Afraid She's A Fraud? Franz, Anthony's college roommate, was standing in the living room with a pink towel in his hand.
"What are you doing here?" Anthony asked.
Franz replied, "I'm here to surprise you. | heard you saved a homeless girl from the beach and brought her home. Look what | discovered! A pink towel!"
Before Franz could finish his sentence, he found a girl standing behind Anthony. Raising his brows, he yelled, "What? Are you serious?"
Antony's face flushed. He yanked the towel from Franz's grasp and grumbled, "Don't be ridiculous, Franz. Leave us alone now. I'll explain this to you later."
Refusing to leave, Franz fixed his gaze on the girl.
"I'll give you two some privacy," the girl said coldly.
"OK. I'm so sorry, Chelsea. Please ignore him," said Anthony.
Only after Chelsea had closed the bedroom door behind her did Franz return to attention. He immediately grabbed Anthony's shirt collar and asked, "Are you two dating? | can't believe | didn't know you moved in with your girlfriend! No wonder you haven't returned to your dorm for a long time."
"That's not true! She's not my girlfriend! "Anthony said, yanking Franz away.
"Really? Then who the hell is she?"
"I'm not sure who she is." Anthony sighed as he sat on the couch.
When he went to the beach to watch the sunrise the day before, he 531 Aren't You Afraid She's A Fr. =
"picked up" this girl. When he saw her, she was sitting beside a sunk boat. She was shivering all over and appeared to be about to die. She was drenched in mud and even had shells in her hair, so Anthony was taken aback at first sight of her.
His friends advised him to leave her alone or call the police. On the beach, however, there was no signal. That day was bitterly cold. Anthony believed that if he had left her on the beach alone, she would have died of cold when the police arrived. So, he brought her back to his apartment.
When she arrived at the flat, the first thing she did was take a shower. He almost didn't recognize her when she came out of the bathroom. She became beautiful and clean. The girl did not tell him who she was or ask him who he was. Instead, she just asked, "Can you find me a place to stay other than a hotel?"
Her beautiful wet brown eyes locked on Anthony, making his heart race. As a result, he allowed her to stay in his apartment.
"You brought a stranger into your home? Anthony, have you gone insane?" Franz expressed his surprise, pulling Anthony's mind back to the present.
"She didn't have a place to stay, so | had no choice."
"Jesus! You should watch the news more often! Have you ever considered the possibility that she is a fraud?"
"No way, she doesn't look like a..."
Franz said, shaking his head, "What do you want to say? You should let her explain who she is. In fact, | think | should call the police right now. She appears to be in her twenties, so she can't possibly forget her name! She even asked you to find her a job, right? That is insane!"
Anthony immediately stopped Franz and prevented him from walking to the bedroom. "Don't go! You'll startle her." 531 Aren't You Afraid She's A Fr. =
The girl emerged from the bedroom while the two were arguing. She stood in the doorway, calmly looking at them. Her eyes were as limpid as the purest snow. She gave Franz a mocking look because she had just heard what he had just said. Then she approached the two men calmly and placed a necklace on the table, uttering, "| want to pay my rent with this."
Antony and Franz were both taken aback. Franz yelled, "Wait! Are you sure? How do we know if the necklace is a real one or not?"
"You could have it appraised at jewelry stores." The girl then returned to her room without saying anything. Anthony and Franz stood there in disbelief, staring at each other.
The next morning, the city became even colder.
Yesterday, Matthew realized that something was wrong with the project's planning, so he worked all night. Yet, he felt he couldn't even finish the project because of the accident yesterday.
Maria expressed concern as she watched Matthew put on his jacket and leave, "Matthew, you haven't slept all night.
Why don't you go to bed? I'll go to the mall for you."
Matthew shook his head before striking out. Looking at his back, Maria felt like she had traveled back in time. She remembered that Wayne always stayed up late working a few years ago, too. And Maria was both relieved and worried when she realized this.
On his way to the mall, Matthew received a phone call from Anna.
"Hello? Mom."
"What are you doing, Matthew? Have you had breakfast yet?"
As a person who rarely smiled, Matthew smiled and answered, "Yes, | have. I'm going to the mall to check out their operation." 531 Aren't You Afraid She's A Fr.
"How is the project? Where's your dad?"
"Everything is in order here. Aunt Maria was worried too much. And Dad should be home soon," Matthew replied. He then asked Maria to forgive him for his words.
"Tell him he doesn't need to return so soon! He can stay and help you for a while. He'll only irritate me if he stays at home, son."
Matthew burst out laughing. "No, | don't think so. No one will know how Tammy is doing at school if he isn't home."
