I didn’t come from money, so everyone in Colton Moretti’s circle decided I was only with him for his. Especially his friend Bianca. She was always saying she’d been the same way once, so she understood women like me better than anyone. To shut them up, I spent three years with Colton without ever accepting a single expensive gift. Bianca still scoffed. “She says no out loud because she’s waiting for him to up the ante. It’s what her kind always does.” Then, on Colton’s birthday, I spent six months of my savings on a watch for him. I was almost at the private dining room when I heard Bianca’s laughter drift out. “I knew she’d buy something expensive.” “Women like that are master calculators. Spend a little now so you can take a lot more from him later.” Colton was sitting right beside her. He didn’t argue. Someone else laughed. “Colt, your girlfriend really knows her angles.” Then another person spotted me and held up a hand, silencing the table. “She’s here.” Bianca let out a cold little laugh. “Some people are just brilliant actresses. But a straightforward woman, like me? Men actually prefer that. Don’t you think?” Colton was quiet for a moment before his eyes lifted to meet mine. “You’ve been pretending in front of me for this long. Were you just waiting for a bigger payout?” I stood in the doorway, the watch box in my hand suddenly feeling impossibly heavy. I didn’t say a word. I just turned and walked away. If he saw my sincerity as a joke, there was no point in offering it. After leaving the restaurant, I went straight back to the store where I’d bought the watch. The saleswoman recognized me. Half an hour earlier, I’d been smiling as I accepted the gift-wrapped box from her. Now, without even untying the ribbon, I was asking for a refund. “Ma’am, the back has already been engraved. We can’t offer a full refund. We can only buy it back as a secondhand item.” “How much?” “Seven thousand dollars.” I had saved for half a year to spend ten thousand dollars on that watch. The moment I sold it back, I was out three thousand. I nodded. “That’s fine.” The saleswoman had just taken the box when Bianca’s laugh echoed behind me. “See? I knew she’d return it.” Colton and the others from the party had followed me. They stood in a cluster just beyond the counter, watching me like I was a sideshow. One of them even pulled out his phone and snapped a picture of the refund slip. “Ten grand on a watch. Next, she’ll probably expect Colt to trade it up for a Porsche.” “That’s a better return than you’d get on Wall Street. Maybe she should give seminars.” “She clawed her way into Colt’s life from some hick town. She’s got to have some moves.” The words hit me one after another, and I felt my fingers begin to tremble. Bianca walked over and glanced at the buyback receipt. “You’re all still so naive.” “An ordinary gold digger just asks for money.” “She’s playing a smarter game. Spend a little, then create a scene, ......
