Soon, news arrived that the wedding between the Brody and Fox families was postponed due to uncontrollable circumstances.
By then, I had already decided to go abroad for further studies.
Money talked, right? Going abroad for further studies was a breeze, thanks to my parents.
Timothy even pulled some strings to get me a spot at the most renowned design company in town.
But, when I walked into the apartment he rented for me, I caught a girl in a camisole applying body lotion.
I quickly apologized and expressed that I had the wrong room.
However, after double-checking the door number, I realized I was in the right place.
Left with no choice, I dialed Timothy.
"Son, we need to spend our money wisely. It's not that we can't afford a full lease, but shared accommodation offers better value. Alright, enough said, phone bills are quite steep."
After hanging up, I hesitated for a while before finally climbing the stairs.
The girl didn't seem fazed when I re-entered.
"Hello, I'm Olivia Munn, an exchange student staying for two years."
Her openness made it hard for me to be awkward, so I shook her hand and introduced myself.
