Chapter 119 - 119: Pretending To Be A Boyfriend
When everyone heard this, they turned to look at Connor with puzzled expressions.
They felt that Natasha wasn’t the only abnormal person today. Connor was also acting very abnormal.
When Cindy heard Connor allowing her to order whatever she wanted, she was also very surprised.
She had ordered so many things not because she wanted to eat but purely because she wanted to make things difficult for Connor.
However, she realized that Connor was unperturbed. She was disappointed and said, “Do you think I’ll order just because you want me to? 1 won’t order then!”
After saying this, Cindy handed the menu to the waiter beside her and said softly, “That’s all for now!”
“Alright, i’ll get the kitchen to prepare it immediately!” the waiter replied respectfully, leaving with the menu.
“I’m going to the restroom!” Natasha stood up and whispered to Connor.
“Sure!” Connor nodded.
After Cindy saw Natasha leave, she hurriedly followed Natasha to the restroom.
After Cindy left, Dominic asked Connor, “Connor, what’s going on between you and Natasha? Why do 1 feel that there’s something wrong with the two of you today?”
“That’s right. Didn’t she just leave at the bar that day? Why does she seem to be closer to you today?” Spencer asked.
“After i left the bar that day, i secretly added Natasha’s WeChat and explained everything to her. She forgave me!”
Connor naturally wouldn’t say that Natasha treated him like this because she knew his identity as a rich heir. He could only find an excuse to deal with it.
“I didn’t expect you to be so influential!”
Dominic looked at Connor and smiled. Then, a trace of helplessness flashed across his face as he said softly, “Connor, do you still have money on hand? Is it enough to pay for today’s meal? It’s the end of the month now, and I just paid the class fee today. I don’t have much money left!”
“Don’t worry. Ms. Wallace introduced me to a part-time job in a bar. 1 have some money now, so it shouldn’t be a problem for me to pay for it!” Connor looked at Dominic and said with a smile.
“Oh, that’s good!”
Dominic looked at Connor and nodded, not saying anything more.

Meanwhile.
Cindy and Natasha went to the restroom.
“Natasha, what’s wrong with you today? Didn’t we agree to humiliate Connor together? Why did you suddenly become a different person? Not only did you not help me humiliate Connor, but you even asked me to apologize to Connor!” Cindy pouted as she looked at Natasha, who was touching up her makeup in front of the mirror.
“When did I say I wanted to humiliate Connor?” Natasha replied nonchalantly.
“Natasha… Didn’t you come here today to humiliate Connor?”
Cindy was stunned for a moment.
“i didn’t come here to humiliate Connor!”
“So why are you here?”
Cindy looked at Natasha and asked, puzzled.
“I came here today to ask Connor to be my boyfriend!” Natasha said methodically as she touched up her foundation.
“Ask… Ask Connor… To be your boyfriend?”
Cindy was stunned when she heard Natasha’s words.
“Natasha, are you crazy? Why do you want Connor to be your boyfriend? He’s just a poor loser who delivers food!”
After Cindy heard Natasha’s words, she couldn’t help but inhale sharply as she exclaimed.
” Yeah, i know he’s a poor loser who delivers food, but I want a poor loser to be my boyfriend now!”
Natasha put away her compact powder and said calmly.
“Why? There are so many rich kids pursuing you in our school! Why do you want a loser to be your boyfriend?” Cindy asked hysterically.
When Natasha heard Cindy, she couldn’t help but laugh secretly in her heart.
Compared to Connor, those rich kids were on a completely different level!
Of course, Natasha didn’t want to expose Connor’s identity yet, so she could only reply casually, “Because… 1 don’t really want Connor to be my boyfriend, but 1 want him to be a temporary placeholder…”
“Temporary placeholder? What does that mean?”
Cindy was still confused.
“What else could it be? Leon Lynch from our school has been harassing me. Although Leon’s family background is not bad, he’s too ugly. To stop him from pestering me, 1 decided to ask Connor to be my boyfriend. This way, Leon would leave me alone. Do you understand what 1 mean?” Natasha said helplessly.
“Oh, 1 see!”
Cindy nodded in a half-understanding manner and continued, “But Natasha, even if you want to find someone to pretend to be your boyfriend, you don’t have to find someone like Connor. Connor is just a delivery boy. How embarrassing would it be if word got out?”
“I chose Connor because i was embarrassed. 1 want Leon to understand that I, Natasha, am not a materialistic girl. No matter how rich his family is, if 1 don’t like him, 1 just don’t. 1 don’t want him to send me roses every day in the future. I’m going to be annoyed to death by him!”
Natasha had been thinking about this excuse for a long time. Just now, she was too enthusiastic toward Connor, which would arouse Cindy’s suspicion.
The entire art academy would know if Cindy found out about Connor’s identity. That was why she made up such an excuse.
“Oh, 1 understand what you mean!”
Cindy nodded at Natasha, then said regretfully, “Actually, 1 think Leon is quite good. Isn’t he just a little ugly? But he’s honest. At least he won’t sleep with other women behind your back. Besides, his family is rich!”
“Although Connor doesn’t have money, he’s quite good-looking. That’s why 1 chose Connor to be my boyfriend. After Leon completely gives up on me, I’ll just dump Connor, right?”
Natasha stood in front of the mirror. After confirming that her face was flawless, she turned to look at Cindy in satisfaction.
Cindy still couldn’t understand Natasha’s actions. After all, in her eyes, it didn’t matter whether a man was handsome or not. The key was money.
If a rich kid like Leon would take the initiative to pursue her, Cindy would agree without thinking.
“By the way, don’t tell Connor about this. I’m using him now. He won’t agree to be with me if he knows the truth!” Natasha whispered to Cindy.
“Natasha, don’t worry, I know what to do! And even if Connor knew, what can he do? He’s just a poor loser. To find a girlfriend like you, he can wake up laughing even in his dreams!” Cindy pouted and said disdainfully.
After Natasha heard Cindy’s words, she couldn’t help but snicker in her heart.
If Connor could become her boyfriend, the person who would wake up smiling in her dreams would not be Connor but Natasha herself.
The naive Cindy thought that Natasha was only doing this to make use of Connor, so she didn’t think much of it..
