CHAPTER 79

Maria rubbed her nose in embarrassment. "It's not much. It's just over 100 dollars. I can treat you to a good meal."

At this point, she suddenly exclaimed and stood up. She picked up her phone and sent a message. "We agreed that I would treat Dwayne tonight, but I drank too much and forgot to pay. He ended up treating me again. I must return the money to him."

A moment later, Maria said, "Gosh! He refused to accept it again. He said I can treat him next time."

Avery smiled and did not speak. Dwayne's tricks did work very well on inexperienced girls.

Maria smiled in embarrassment. "Dwayne is really nice. He knows how to take care of people. He always said it's not easy for people like us who started working at a young age, so we should take care of each other."

Avery observed Maria's expression. "You like Dwayne, don't you?"

"N-no," Maria explained with a red face. "I only like him a little."
