Marie was filled with resentment as she saw him hold up the ten dollars.

"You don't want it? I'll take it back then." Jean saw that she did not move and was about to take back the money until she swiftly snatched it from him.

Jean smiled contemptuously.

"It's not enough," said Marie as she held out her hand.

"If ten dollars is not enough, how much do you want?" Jean frowned and was obviously unwilling to give her too much.

"Even if you're covering the costs of my stay, what about my food and daily transportation expenses? You can't leave me empty-handed. Even if I were to stay at home, I'd need money to order takeout too," said Marie.

"How troublesome." Jean took out his wallet and handed her a public transport card.

"This is..." Marie looked at the public transport card and frowned as the card could only be used for rides and not for consumption. Plus, who even took public transport nowadays?

"There are ten dollars on the card. You can take the subway when you go out. It'll last you a few months," Jean said lazily.

Marie looked at his gracious expression as he handed her the public transport card with ten dollars in it. That was it?

"My friends don't even take the subway anymore, and now you're making me take the subway? You have so much money in your hand. Can't you give me some? It's not like we eat together every day," she said with dissatisfaction.

"You don't want this?" Jean got a little impatient listening to her babble on.

If she had not gotten so much money, he would have thrown her out long ago.

After hearing that, Marie took the public transport card without hesitation as she still had to get around. Although she could not get a taxi, she could not walk everywhere either, right?

Jean looked at her and smiled scornfully, expressing his disdain toward her.

"Here's another 50 dollars. It'll cover your food costs for a week. If you don't treat others, it might even last you two weeks." He drew out 50 dollars worth of bills and placed them on the coffee table. Then, he stood up and stretched.
