Hello, Melody. Today is Celine’s first day at Yorhine University. How is she?" Carly asked.
Melody smirked. "Carly, why did you waste your time on Celine? She's not even anywhere near your level! Celine became 'popular' on her first day."
Carly chuckled. "Melody, come to the bar tonight. Adam will bring me; we'll play games. You can tell him and Benjamin the news."
After Celine got enough sleep, classes ended. She went to her dorm. Two occupants shared the room: Celine and Hailey Young.
Hailey looked at Celine happily. "You're Celine, right? I'm Hailey. We'll be roommates."
Hailey was happy-go-lucky. She had a large birthmark on her face, contrasting with her fair cheeks.
Noticing Celine looking at it, Hailey wasn't embarrassed. "I was born with this. Doctors said it's unremovable. People call me ugly, and nobody wants to room with me." She shrugged. "If you don't want to, then…"
Celine smiled. "That's great. I'm a country bumpkin. We're a match made in heaven!" She reached out to shake Hailey's hand.
Hailey smiled and shook her hand. They quickly became close. Celine liked Hailey. Despite her birthmark, Hailey was open, sunny, and positive.
Hailey linked arms with Celine. "Celine, come on, I'm taking you to a bar!"
Celine hesitated, but Hailey pulled her along. They arrived at Club 1996. Hailey confidently waved to the waiter. "We'll take the most luxurious VIP room!"
Celine pulled Hailey aside. "Do you even have the money for that?"
Hailey patted her chest. "I'm the sugar mommy here!"
Celine was speechless.
The waiter apologized. "Sorry, ladies, our most luxurious VIP room is reserved for Mr. Goodwin. Tonight, he's entertaining Mr. Alvarez."
Club 1996 was a Goodwin family property; Benjamin was the heir. He was hosting Adam.
Hailey raised an eyebrow. "Mr. Alvarez is here?"
"Yes, with his girlfriend, Carly, to play cards. Mr. Goodwin and other rich heirs are with them. That's Mr. Alvarez's private VIP suite."
Celine's heart skipped a beat. She hadn't expected Adam and Carly to be there playing cards. What a coincidence!
She saw the luxurious VIP room at the far end—Adam's suite.
Hailey tugged Celine. "Let's take a look."
She pulled Celine to the door. Celine peeked inside. It was lively; people played cards. Adam sat at the head of the table.
He looked like the perfect gentleman in a white shirt and black trousers. The top two buttons were undone, revealing his collarbones. He exuded effortless charm. He was incredibly handsome.
Carly sat beside him, stunning in a strapless floral dress. Their beauty complemented each other perfectly.
Benjamin and two other young men were laughing at the card table.
Benjamin smiled. "Adam, you're going to lose again. You've already lost a lot of money tonight."
