Chapter 22: Offer 3

Sophia emerged from her room a little while later. She was prepared for the celebration. She was dressed simply but elegantly. She had a stunning appearance.

She looked at Adam’s door as she locked the door to her flat. It was quiet and closed. With a little groan, she turned to leave.

Adam returned to the apartment complex late that evening. Shopping bags filled his arms. He has made numerous purchases. He had purchased pricey items that he genuinely desired for the first time in his life.

He had purchased new shoes, new clothes, and a cozy chair for his room. Most significantly, he had purchased the most recent PlayStation model. He had wanted to have it since he was a young child. He had never thought he would be able to buy it, even though he had often seen it in store windows.

He went upstairs with his fresh finds. He could hardly wait to configure his new gaming system. He saw something as he made his way to his room along the hallway. In Sophia’s apartment, a light was on.

The door stood open a little. From within, he could hear voices. He walked more slowly. He wanted to know. He should just head to his room, he knew. However, he was powerless to stop himself. He walked stealthily to her door. He peered through the narrow opening.

He noticed Sophia seated on her sofa. She was not by herself. She was accompanied by Robin. They were seated beside one another. They were laughing and conversing. They appeared at ease. They appeared close. Adam felt a bolt of anguish in his chest. It hurt physically. He lost all of his previous resolve to remain buddies.

This was far worse than the jealousy he had experienced previously. This was a more intense and agonizing sensation. He thought he was a fool. Their little acquaintance had brought him much joy. She obviously had someone else, though.

Silently, he moved away from the door. He wished they would not see him. A deep sense of defeat overcame him. He unlocked the door to his own room. He entered and shut it after himself.

He no longer felt the thrill of his new goods. The new PlayStation seemed weighty and useless in his hands. He let the shopping bags fall to the ground. He gazed at the wall while seated on his bed.

He could not shake the picture of Sophia and Robin together. He experienced intense loneliness, as if he were gazing in from the outside. He was the wealthiest person in the planet. However, it was unable to purchase the one item he really desired. He was no longer even aware of what that was. He only knew that he was by himself. And it was painful.

Adam returned to his chamber. A deep aching ran across his chest. The happiness he had experienced moments earlier had vanished when he saw Sophia and Robin together.

His shopping bags fell to the ground. He did not even glance at the just released PlayStation. He simply picked up his phone and headed to his bed. He launched the app called One-Click Billionaire. He began to tap. There was nothing else he could do to take his mind off the pain.

For several hours, he tapped. On the screen, the number increased steadily. A further $100,000 was earned by him. However, he was not satisfied with the money. It was a sense of emptiness. pointless. He shut down the application. At last, he opened the package that held his brand-new PlayStation.

It was put up by him. He plugged it in to his room’s tiny television. He played games for the remainder of the evening. The game’s loud noises and flashing lights provided a pleasant diversion. He played till his mind went numb and his eyes turned crimson. He eventually dozed off on his bed in the wee hours of the morning while still holding the controller.

He was awakened the following morning by a continuous buzzing noise. His alarm was not it. The doorbell was the culprit. It was being rung repeatedly by someone. Adam rolled over with a moan. He was still slumbering. The late-night games had left his brain hazy. Who might be at his door at this hour, he wondered? He got out of bed with a stumble. He gave his eyes a massage. He approached and opened the door.

His drowsiness was gone in an instant. There stood Sophia. She had on all her clothes and was prepared for the day. She had a stunning appearance. She seems really impatient as well.

Adam could only stammer because he was so shocked. "What... what... what is the matter Sophia?" inquired the man.

Sophia was taken aback by his unkempt appearance. She examined his disheveled hair and rumpled t-shirt. She had a disappointed expression on her face. She said, "You are not ready yet?" She spoke sharply. "We must visit the school. Have you forgotten?

The words were as frigid as a pail of water to Adam. He recalled. The work. He had agreed to accompany her to the interview at the school today. He would forgotten all about it. A rush of shame and guilt washed over him.

He felt awful as he saw Sophia’s dissatisfied expression. His words were, "I am sorry," Remorse filled his voice. "Give me five minutes, please. I will get ready and come."
