“Trevor, I know you well enough. Everything here is luxurious, including the lingerie. The Hermès bag costs fifty thousand dollars and this ribbed sweater costs thirty thousand dollars. Even if you wash laundry for the basketball team for an entire year, you still won’t be able to afford a thing here!”
