Chapter 72 [Bonus Chapter]Big Bro Gustav
"Who is this? Your girlfriend?"
"Yes!" Roland answered without any hesitation unlike the previous times where he would only stay silent.
Yesterday, his relationship with Stacey has basically been confirmed with that sweaty session.
On the other hand, Stacey visibly blushed at how swift Roland answered the question. It made her heart flutter as her hand unconsciously moved to grab Roland's thigh tightly.
Roland ignored her actions, but his hidden dragon actually reacted without any thought.
It's as if it sensed an invasion to its territory, his dragon slowly rises up in vigilance.
Of course, Roland did not show it on his face as his face remained as straight as ever, as if nothing was happening behind the scenes.
Gustav did not notice anything wrong too as he stared at Roland with an unhappy face, "Good kid! To think that I was even worried about you, it turns out that you were just actually spending your time with a girl. Tsk! Tsk!"
Roland ignored his teasing as he explained, "It's actually nothing like that. I already bought a new phone and sim card, so I just discarded the previous one directly."
Gustav rolled his eyes at his explanation, "Who are you fooling? With how thrifty you are, how could you think of buying yourself a phone?"
"You always mention that you want the best for your girl, so you want to save up to buy her some things…" Gustav paused for a moment before he looked at Stacey with an obvious disapproval on his face.
"So? How could you afford to buy yourself a phone, if all you do is work for her? Tsk! Tsk!"
'What a simp!' He muttered under his breath, but Roland actually heard it.
Roland has already mentioned this girlfriend of his quite a lot before.
Gustav knew exactly what kind of girl this was. He was sure that she was only using Roland as her slave. He has already warned Roland about it before, but the kid just won't listen to him, so he ended up staying silent as Roland's wage after wage was spent on his girlfriend.
In other words, his girlfriend was a gold digger, but it was the type of gold digger that wanted to benefit from the hard work of others.
Thinning of gold-digger, the face of Anna suddenly popped out of his head, making Gustav's mood turn even worse. Recalling that greedy face, Gustav just wanted to vomit in disgust.
At this time, Gustav had still not realized that Stacey was not the girlfriend that Roland was talking about.
And at the same time, he was also not aware that the gold-digger girlfriend and Bryan, and the gold-digger girlfriend of Roland was just one entity.
Meanwhile, Stacey who got subjected to Gustav's disapproving gaze felt quite confused and awkward.
Just as she was about to explain, Roland had already beaten her to it.
"Stacey is not the same girl that I was talking about before. We already broke up like a few days ago," Roland said with a straight face.
Now that his insecurities were slowly erased, Roland has become more confident in answering questions. Before, if he was met with such a question, he would surely stutter and might even try to discredit himself.
Roland thought that the word 'simp' that Gustav muttered truly described his previous self a hundred percent.
However, times have already changed.
Upon hearing that, Gustav's eyes also widened in surprise, "Hahaha! Good decision kid! Did you finally realize how you were exploited? Hahaha took you long enough!"
He then looked at Stacey and said, "As expected of you kid, this lad's quite pretty."
His mood changes like a five-year-old kid. Last time he was still looking at Stacey with a disapproving gaze, now, he now looked at her as if he was a proud big brother when the younger brother scored a goal or a basket.
Roland only shook his head at his reaction, Gustav has always been like this to him. He recalled how many times he advised him to break up with Anna, but he just did not listen as he thought that Gustav was only overthinking things.
From the looks of it, it looks like he was just blindly in love. And Gustav, who was outside their relationship, saw through the entire situation clearly.
"Well, back to the topic. I have indeed bought a new phone, here, save my new number," as he said that Roland took the brand-new Ay-phone 18 and showed it to Roland.
"Holy shit that phone is glistening!" Gustav exclaimed in surprise the moment took out the phone.
His surprise was not only due to the phone being brand new but also due to the fact that Roland was truly able to buy one.
He knew Roland as a miser, and he knew how broke he was. His eyes landed on the Ay-phone logo and that's how he knew that it was an expensive brand.
He himself actually has an Ay-phone but it was only the Ay-phone 7 Plus version which he bought for 95 Global Dollars.
On the other hand, the moment Gustav's eyes landed on his phone, Roland had already received a System prompt from the System.
He only took a glance at it before confirming that it indeed came from face-slapping Gustav for his remarks earlier that he would not be able to afford a new phone.
With Stacey as the witness, he earned a total of 20 Face-Slapping Points this time. Although it was not a lot, Roland was still happy about the increment on his FS Points.
And without thinking about it, Gustav took out his Ay-phone 7 Plus and saved Roland's new phone number on it.
At this time, he finally recovered from his initial shock.
"What model is this? It's quite slim and it looks neat as well," it was apparent that he liked the phone's appearance a lot.
As she knew that Roland was not knowledgeable regarding these things, it was Stacey who answered his question this time.
"Oh, it's the latest, Ay-phone 18," she said calmly.
Gustav's eyes went wide like saucers as his ears twitched like a rabbit.
"A-a-ay-phone 18? The one with a thousand Global Dollars as its starting selling price?"
"Roland, where did you get such a lot of money?" Gustav had a frown on his face as he asked sternly.
