"Loser? Honey, who are you calling a loser?" Lina asked curiously, turning to look at Dorian.
Dorian raised a hand and pointed directly at me. "That's him! That's Crystal's new boyfriend a complete loser
who's all talk and no substance!"
Her expression shifted tically. Her eyes widened as if she had seen a ghost, and her face turned an array
of colors, showing just how rattled she was.

Instead of getting nervous, | crossed my legs and stared back at them. "So what if I'm a loser? | haven't eaten
your food or driven your cars. I'm not even close to you. Why should you care about me?"
Oliver burst into laughter. "This kid just admitted he's a loser! Hahaha! Crystal, what were you thinking? How did
you end up with someone like him?
"He's probably just given up on life or thinks he's untouchable because Crystal's backing him," someone said.
"Crystal, get your eyes checked. This guy's got no looks, no muscles, no money and no guts. What do you even

"Nope. You're my boyfriend, and I'm staying close," she said with a smirk.

"I'm going to the bathroom," Lina suddenly said, her face pale. She turned and hurried toward the restroom.
I blinked in confusion, trying to figure out what was going on with her.
As soon as Lina left, the others quickly surrounded Dorian again.
"Dorian, your girlfriend is stunning!" someone said with a grin. "How long are you planning to keep her around?"
"Cherry was gorgeous, and you ditched her after two weeks. What about this one?" another chimed in.
"I'd bet you won't get tired of her for at least two months," another added.
Dorian suddenly sneered. "Letbe honest with you. She's playing hard to get. She won't lettouch her yet.
Once | get my hands on her, I'll make sure she can't walk for a week."
He paused and smirked. "How long | keep her depends on how long she can take it."
Oliver let out a wicked laugh. "Oh, she's got you hooked! | remember the last woman who played coy with you
