Chapter 522 - Friends No Matter What (1/2)

”Hey.”

”What took you so long?” Jack asked Benjamin who is now panting with both his hands on his knees.

”Sorry, I had to finish my thesis. I'm not like you two scholars who are smart enough to finish their thesis in just one night.” Benjamin said sarcastically still catching his breath.

Alexander scoff. ”Says the top student of the Department of Medicine.”

”Ha-ha! I told you, you should have let me do your thesis. I won't charge you too much.” Jack said with a smug smile.

”What... isn't too obvious if a business management student does the thesis of a medical student?” Benjamin replied.

”Huh! Are you doubting my capabilities? Of course, I can do the thesis of a medicine student even if I am a business management student. In fact, I already did one.” Jack said with a smile waving a thick stack of papers on his hand.

Benjamin's eyes widened. ”No way!” Then he snatched the papers in Jack's hand and scanned every page of it. ”I can't believe it! You really did it! It's like the work of a medical student! Did he really do this?” He asked Alexander who was just silently sitting on the grass throwing stones on the river.

Alexander nods his head. ”Yes, he did it last night.” Alexander and Jack live in an apartment that they rent together so he knows that he really did that thesis.

”You're freaking awesome!” Benjamin is grinning as he gave Jack a high five. ”Tell me, how much do you earn in doing papers from other students?” Benjamin said as he sits beside Alexander.

Jack shrugs his shoulder. ”Hmm... not that much. Just enough.”

”Thou seriously, you came from a well off family. You don't need to do extra work to earn. Aren't you planning to work in your family business once we graduated?” Benjamin asked which made Jack's mood darkens.

Yes, he did come from a wealthy family but no one knows that his family business back in Crocus is already bankrupt. Because of that, his parents got sick and now he has to work extra to support his parents and his younger brother.

”He is saving so that he could marry Sylvia,” Alexander stated indifferently. Among the three he is the coldest and a total introvert.

”What? Seriously? Sylvia? The daughter of Senator Wells? Damn! Since when did you start dating her?” Benjamin exclaimed. Thou he already knew about Jack and Sylvia, he still acted surprised.

Hearing the name, Jack's mood became better. He scoffs, ”As if you didn't know!”

”Isn't she too high maintenance?” Benjamin asked with concern. He knows that the girl came from an elite family and has such high standards.
