Essie waved her hand again. Although Zac was unpredictable, he was certainly not a bad person. When it came to sex, they benefited from each other. But when it came to money... "He gave his credit card to me. Only I can rob him. He can't rob me," Essie said with a smile.
"What?" Mandy and Eva exclaimed at the same time.
"You are just roommates. Why did he give you his credit card?" Mandy frowned.
"It looks like he is interested in our Essie," Eva said with a laugh.
Essie hastily waved her hand and said, "You've got the wrong idea. When we dine in the same restaurant, we pay fifty-fifty. But since I'm buying all the food from the market now, of course he has to pay me. Also, his card's monthly limit is only 3,000, so he won't lose much even if I use all of it up."
"It's awesome that he gave you the card! There is no other handsome guy like him! Just let him be your boyfriend." Eva snickered.
Mandy rolled her eyes at Essie, feeling very depressed. He was her prince charming. Should she be clear about who she was? She took the cup of lemon tea from the table, but just as she was about to take a sip, she decided to put it back down. 'Forget it. Don't drink any more. The more you drink, the worse you will feel,' she thought to herself.
"Essie, show us the card."
Mandy tried her best to wear a smile on her face. A bank card could reveal a person's identity. If it turned out just a common card, she wouldn't struggle with it too much. She could just let Essie have the card and let her have him. If the man did not have much money, then just like a laptop with limited memory, he would not improve even when installed an advanced software like her.
"What's so good about a card? You have your own," Essie said hesitantly.
"That is my dream guy's card!" Mandy grabbed Essie's arm and started shaking it. It was obvious that she was not going to stop until she got what she wanted. Essie sighed and took Zac's credit card from the room.
Mandy took the card and looked at it carefully. The surface of the card was silver and black, and in the middle of it was a low-key, simple, and unique character. Just as she was about to turn over the card, Eva snatched it away. "Wow, this card is so unique. Can you get your name carved on a card? Is that a symbol of his last name? Where can I get one? I want to get one too!"
"You can look at it as custom tailoring. It must be commemorative edition. The character on it means prosperity and joy. It's a just a coincidence," Essie said, pouting. That guy was so lucky. How come she wasn't lucky?
Mandy's eyes flashed. Other people wouldn't have a clue, but she knew better. Her father was the senior manager of a bank, and she was absolutely sure that this was not just an ordinary card, and the person who owned this card was not an ordinary person as well. She already knew that her prince was not some mediocre man, but... She looked at Essie with a mysterious glimmer in her eyes. "If you are not interested in him, I will make a move," she said deliberately.
"It's really none of my business even if you kill him or something," Essie replied directly with a lighthearted smile.
