Becoming the Richest Man Alive

As she thought about it, her face reddened. It sounded so foolish in her head. He’s my student! Surely he’s just joking!

“Casper, what’s up with you these days? I haven’t seen you in class lately.”

Giselle changed the subject to ease the awkwardness.

Casper brushed it off. In a way, he had been really busy.

“Say, Ms. Clauder, do you take to live-streaming regularly?”

Giselle was apparently taken aback by his words. but she quickly understood what he meant. It was true that she had made a name for herself on the internet. It made sense that he knew about it.

“What about it?” Giselle asked.

Casper hesitated for a moment. He wanted to enlist Giselle’s help to direct some traffic to his live-streaming app.

“Well, the thing is, Ms. Clauder, how would you like to take the next step on a different platform?”

Giselle blinked in surprise, not quite catching on.

“Why would I want to do that? What are you up to?”

Casper did not want to hide the truth anymore, so he told her everything.

“You see, I know you’re quite popular online, Ms. Clauder. I’ve recently started an entertainment company, and I’ve developed my own live-streaming app. I’d like to invite you to join my venture.”

He was actually panicking when he extended his offer. He did not know what Giselle would say or how she would react after hearing about his entrepreneurship.

In other words, he was somewhat anxious, which soon turned into regret.

What if our relationship worsens because of this? What if she thinks I’m money-minded?

Strange thoughts began to form in his head one after another.

“Ms. Clauder, it’s okay if…”

Giselle cut in before Casper could withdraw his invitation.

“Sure, I accept your offer.”

Casper froze for a brief moment. He did not expect Giselle would take up his offer so decisively.

Then, Giselle added, “You’re rich, aren’t you? You must have been following me for a long time now, right? Could you be that Mr. Simpson?”

Giselle stared straight at Casper.

“I hope you’re not lying to me.”

She spoke again.
