Chapter 8
I was about to nod off at my desk when Savannah showed up with a basket of goodies and a stack of invitations.
"My boyfriend and I are getting engaged this Sunday. You're all invited!"
As she handed out the invites, she gave each person a Dior lipstick.
"Oh wow, Savannah, you're so lucky! You're really getting engaged!"
"And a lipstick? That's so generous! Your boyfriend must treat you so well!"
Savannah beamed with happiness. "Yeah, he's always so sweet to me. He even said we're going live on TikTok this Sunday to stream him collecting his lottery winnings!"
Livestream the lottery collection? My ears perked up.
Going to collect that non-winning ticket? This was going to be good!
Then she came over to me, handing me an invitation and a lipstick. "Harper, if you want to witness what true happiness looks like, you should come. You may not be the star, but you can still dream about it."
I pretended to be impressed. "Wow, I've never been to a rich person's engagement party. I'll be there for sure."
Savannah smirked. "Good. Don't act like you've never seen anything like it."
Soon after, a message popped up in our group chat:
Chase Collins: Meeting people is fate. Having it all is luck. I feel so blessed. Ever since I met my baby Savannah, I won $4 million in the lottery. I hope all my friends and family will come to the Grand Palm Hotel this Sunday to witness our happiness.
We'll be live-streaming the lottery collection. Don't come if you're just here to mooch off our good luck. Not everyone can be as fortunate as me.
P.S.: You have to let go of the wrong person to meet the right one. So my ex, stop contacting me. I only love Savannah now.
I nearly choked. Chase was so good at pretending to be deep and romantic. Jay-Z could write three albums from this guy's stories alone.
Thank God I'd snapped out of it. I must've been temporarily blind to have fallen for him.
But honestly? I was starting to get excited.
I was really looking forward to Sunday!
