Chapter 1576″Don’t worry about money, it’s so pedestrian. There are far more interesting things in this world than money.” Alaric said.
Ethan was taken aback. The typically laid-back, affluent playboy, Alaric, uttering such sentimental words was completely out of character.
It was as if he had become a completely different person.
Something must be up.
Ethan asked cautiously, “Dude, are you in some kind of trouble? Just spill it, man. We’re brothers; no need to beat around the bush.”
Ethan was sure Alaric needed a favor.
Otherwise, why the sudden philosophical musings?
Hearing the seriousness in Ethan’s voice, Alaric laughed, “Chill, man, I’m not asking for anything. Just inviting you for some grub.”
“Oh? Something good happened? Share the joy, man,” Ethan relaxed a bit.
“What else could make me happy? You know the usual,” Alaric said nonchalantly.
“About a woman?” Ethan guessed right away. He knew Alaric’s tastes better than Alaric’s own mother.
Money might not always bring joy to Ethan, but a woman who caught his eye was a different story.
“Sort of.”
“Things moving fast, huh?” Ethan’s voice came through the phone.
Alaric was pouring a drink and paused, then, with a teasing tone, said, “Ethan, be honest, did you do this on purpose?”
“What do you mean ‘on purpose’? I’m lost.”
“The apartment you hooked me up with, making her my neighbor.” Alaric didn’t hide it, openly admitting that things were indeed progressing with her.
Though it wasn’t anything official yet, just knowing she and Spencer weren’t an item meant he was already halfway there.
“What are you saying?” Ethan was both surprised and amazed. “The apartment I got for you is next to hers? That’s just too coincidental…”

It looked like fate really did bring them together. Ethan randomly assigning apartments and ending up placing him next to her.
Fate works in mysterious ways, indeed!
Alaric felt even better, his recent moodiness dissipated.
“Enough talk, lunch is on me tomorrow. A feast,” Alaric ended the call.

She suddenly understood how Alaric must have felt seeing her room’s decor, finding it both amusing and ridiculous.
Thinking about Alaric’s misunderstanding, she couldn’t help but laugh and feel embarrassed at the same time.
