Chapter 1015 - Terry Wants To Pay, But Cant (1/2)

There was no sound from the phone. It looked like George was too dumbfounded to even say anything. JM had to wave several times and called his name before, finally, George responded.

”J-JM? Is that you?” He finally asked in a stutter. JM laughed out loud when she saw his reaction.

”Yeah.. it's me. How are you, George? I am here with Auntie Rose. She said you are a fan. So, I figure I should give you a call,” the beautiful girl said with a big smile on her face.

”I-I.. am a fan. You are amazing in every show!” George furrowed his brows. ”Why auntie?”

Rose quickly chirped, ”No.. it's just an inside joke. Don't worry about it. Hehehe.. How are you? Sorry for calling you this early. I just don't want to miss the opportunity to have you talk to JM.”

George was still in a daze, but he managed to reply with a broad smile. His eyes still looked dumbfounded though. ”No, it's fine. You can call me at any hour if it's for JM. You know how much I am her big fan.”

”Oh, George, you make me feel flattered. Thank you!” JM was really happy to hear George's obvious admiration toward her. ”Where are you now?”

”I live in New York,” George replied.

”Ah.. that's lovely! When I come to town, I mean if I have a show in New York, I'll invite you to come and we can have a drink,” JM smiled broadly. Her words made George's expression seemed like he just saw stars.

However, a moment later, her next words crushed his dreams. JM chuckled and said, ”My boyfriend lives in New York too. I come to visit him every now and then. We should hang out next time I'm in town.”

There was a moment of silence around them. Rose bit her lip, worried about George's reaction, while Rune suddenly lit a candle in his heart for George. He had met the man and knew he was a kind guy who was just unlucky enough to have a crush on a taken girl.

And Altair was a good young man who had never even noticed any other girls in his life. From the beginning, it had always been JM for Altair and Altair for JM.

Rune really couldn't imagine anyone could enter between the two. So, for this, he could only have sympathy for George and hoped the man would find another girl to anchor his heart.

”Oh.. hahaha... your boyfriend is American? I didn't know that.” George laughed awkwardly. ”Yes, please.. let me know the next time you are in town. I would love to take you both to dinner.”

”Ah, you are so sweet. Will do. I will ask your contact from Auntie Rose and hit you up when I am in New York,” JM smiled sweetly before ending their call. She waved like an angel and managed to melt the awkwardness on George's expression.

”Thank you so much! I look forward to seeing you in New York. Bye, JM,” George finally could smile again. He waved and then the connection was turned off.

”Thank you for talking to my best friend,” Rose smiled with a grateful expression to JM, and then she kept her phone back in her pocket. ”George is a really sweet guy. He let me stay in his flat in East Village for free. His family is well-off and they gave him the apartment building to do however he pleases.”

Rune coughed when he realized Rose was still trying to put on a good word about George to JM. Maybe Rose thought if JM knew how rich George was, she could be tempted? Haha.. no way!

Her boyfriend came from the wealthiest family in the world. Whatever it was that George had was pale in comparison to what Altair had.

However, Rune didn't have the heart to say anything. He only nodded to confirm Rose's words. No matter what he must support Rose. ”Yes, she is right. I am now staying in that flat with Rose for free.”

Meanwhile, Terry squinted his slanted eyes, as he observed Rose. From what she said earlier, she was staying for free in an apartment owned by her friend. Did this mean Rose was poor?

Now, Terry could totally understand why Rune was wearing those cheap outfits. He must be dressing down all the time to keep up with Rose's lifestyle.

Terry could only shake his head. He had nothing against poor people or regular humans, but he really thought dating them was a lot of hassle.

Now, Rune couldn't even be himself. How tiring would it be? And how long did he need to keep this up?
