My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 1627

Gemma just wanted someone to vent to. Nonetheless, Ryan did not give her the chance to continue venting. Instead, he Venmo-ed her 500 dollars.

At that moment, Gemma was shocked. 500 dollars was nothing to her. Back in Horton City, she would spend several thousand or even tens of thousands on a single meal.

However, after spending a summer in Bint City, she realized that 500 bucks was not a small amount for ordinary people.

The part-time job ads posted on the roadside only paid about 12 dollars per hour. She could not believe that a stranger from a game would give her 500 bucks.

Even so, Gemma did not accept it immediately. Instead, she screenshotted it and asked: [What's this for?]

Ryan typed back: [Consider it payment for playing games with me. I often look for gaming buddies when I'm bored!]

After much thought, Gemma accepted the money and replied: [What do you do for a living?]

Ryan: [I work as a club attendant!]

At 17 or 18, it was the age of budding romance.

Gemma quickly became infatuated while chatting with Ryan. Later on, she fell deeply in love.

When she started college, Ryan gave her 20,000 dollars to help with tuition fees. In fact, with the help of her brother, she had already regained financial independence. However, she wanted to see how far Ryan would go for her, so she blocked him.

She only unblocked Ryan the next day and teased him: [Did you get scared, Ryan? Did you cry a lot?]

Ryan was confused: [What?]

Gemma: [I blocked you!]

Ryan: [When?]

Gemma: [Hmph, you didn't send me a message all day yesterday?]

Ryan: [Ah… I got drunk with some buddies yesterday. I just woke up!]

It was not until later, during a game of Truth or Dare, that Gemma brought up the old story again. She found out that Ryan had not actually been drinking that day and had realized she blocked him.

He even cried and skipped work for the whole day. Gemma could not help bursting into laughter. She then apologized sweetly to the big fool.
