Now, Lucinda had a lot of money and also won over a lot of readers, who've showered her with gifts. So her income next month would surprise her.
Lucinda said to Stefan, all generous-like, "Stefan, I've decided to give you a bit of a bonus. When I get all this cash from the readers next month, I'll give you a bonus, get you some new threads, a bed, some good grub. Then, I'll rent a bigger place, one room each, so even if we're not playing house anymore, we can still be roomies."
Stefan's eyes were all mysterious, which Lucinda had gotten used to. He said, "Cool, I'll look forward to the bonus, and the new clothes."
They're not playing house anymore?
She thought she could just marry him and then leave him?
Dream on!
But Stefan wouldn't say that, of course.
That night, Lucinda was all smiles, even in her dreams.
No, she thought she was dreaming, that's why so many readers were tipping her.
When she woke up, the first thing she did was to log onto the website, open her own article, and found out that the number on the gift leaderboard had increased from the night before. But it wasn't skyrocketing like before, so it didn't give her such a shock.
She nibbled her finger gently.
She could feel the pain.
"Turns out I'm not dreaming, I really did struck gold!"
In no time, her article dominated all the gift leaderboards on the website.
By then, Stefan had prepared breakfast.
When he saw Lucinda came out, he took off his apron and greeted her, "Honey, breakfast is ready, all your favourite foods."
"Stefan, stop calling me like that. My parents aren't here now, we don't need to put on a show."
