It turned out that he was not angry at me for being "greedy for money", but was angry at Scarlett for extorting too little.
I looked up and met his face filled with greed and rage.
Using all his strength, he slapped him in the face.
Bang!
It was louder and crisper than the time he hit me.
Ryan was stunned, covering his face and looking at me in disbelief.
Everyone in the corridor gasped.
I looked at him, word by word.
“No money.”
"You can't change it even if you slap me again!"
After that slap, Ryan's world and I were completely separated.
My cheek was still aching, but my phone was vibrating wildly in my pocket.
It’s a group chat at summer camp.
I clicked it and a photo popped up.
In the photo, I was discussing the details of the activity with a male camper, and Scarlett captured it from an ambiguous angle.
The caption reads: "Some people manage money during the day and 'manage people' at night. No wonder the accounts don't match."
A group of followers followed closely below.
"Scarlett is right! I was wondering why she always talks to Mike!"
"Tsk tsk, it turns out that all the funds were spent on this."
Ryan also popped up and sent a broken heart emoji.
