Fatty Mike: Your Diet Starts Now!

Mike Peterson, the convenience store owner, stared at the messages in the group chat, his eyes wide. Olivia! Jealousy burned in his heart. He wouldn't even dare think about a rich, fair-skinned beauty like Olivia, yet now she'd actually been tricked and taken by Jake! As the convenience store owner, he knew that [Room and board included] was Jake. This group was originally for convenience store deliveries.

Mike Peterson said jealously: "Lots of stuff at Jake's place... I sold him half-price!" He never expected those expiring foods would become Jake's life-saving tools now.

Mike Peterson's fiancée, Michelle, was very beautiful. Even with her pretty face pale from hunger, she still had a touch of haggard allure. Michelle's eyes widened in surprise when she heard this: "You sold them? Go ask him for them!"

Mike Peterson hesitated. "This..." Those expiring foods were indeed things he had forced Jake to buy. But in this situation, if Jake wasn't stupid, he wouldn't possibly sell them back to him!

Michelle's beautiful eyes widened in anger, and she cursed: "You useless good-for-nothing, you're not even as capable as a store clerk!" Saying that, she kicked him hard.

Mike Peterson looked sheepish and didn't dare resist. He smiled ingratiatingly like a lapdog: "Baby, easy, don't twist your foot."

Mike Peterson felt he was lucky to marry a beauty like Michelle, and he had always taken her beatings and curses submissively. How would he dare resist? Michelle was his goddess. They were about to get married, yet Michelle wouldn't even let him touch her, saying she was saving herself for marriage. Usually, she only allowed him to hold hands at most. Mike Peterson was very happy about Michelle's demands. To marry such a traditional girl, it's truly the luck of a lifetime!

"Humph!" Michelle scoffed, saying exasperatedly: "Mike Peterson! I've lost weight from hunger these past few days! Now there's no food left at all at home, what else can we do but find a way to buy some? Do you want me to starve to death with you?!"

These past few days, Mike Peterson had tried his best to give most of the food to Michelle, eating only the bare minimum himself. He had clearly lost some weight. Even so, they ate the last hot dog sausage at noon today. If they didn't find a solution soon, they would run out of supplies.

"No! I absolutely can't let my宝贝 (treasure) starve!" Mike Peterson became anxious. He looked at Michelle's delicate face with pity and love and gritted his teeth: "I'll call him and buy some right now."

Mike Peterson quickly called Jake.

...

Ring, ring, ring.

Jake saw it was the convenience store owner, Fatty Mike, calling and knew exactly what he wanted. No way was he giving food to this scamming boss. Fatty Mike often found excuses to deduct Jake's salary every now and then, saying the glass wasn't wiped clean or there was dust on the floor. When he couldn't even find fault with that, he would force Jake to buy expired food, using expired food to pay salary. If Jake didn't buy it, he wouldn't get paid. Even when he did pay, he often delayed it by over ten days. Jake hated his guts. If it weren't for Sophia needing money for her civil service exam preparation, he would have quit long ago.

Since you delivered yourself to my door, don't blame me.

Jake thought of the beautiful boss's fiancée, Michelle, and felt a surge of anticipation. Before, Fatty Mike often showed off how Michelle was prettier than Sophia, acting extremely cocky about it.

Very good.

Michelle was indeed very beautiful.

Now she's mine.

Jake answered the phone with a cold laugh: "Fatty Mike, what do you want?"

Mike Peterson instantly felt enraged beyond belief. He actually dares to call me Fatty Mike directly! He was 189 cm (approx. 6'2") tall and weighed 250 斤 (approx. 125 kg / 275 lbs). He hated it most when people called him fat. Ever since Michelle showed distaste for his weight, he had become even more sensitive.

But now wasn't the time to argue with Jake! When I buy your food back, I'll smack you across the face a few times!

Mike Peterson suppressed his anger and said: "Little Jake, you must have a lot of food at your place, sell me half."

Sell to you? You're dreaming! Jake scoffed and deliberately taunted him: "Oh? How much are you paying?"

Mike Peterson said carelessly: "I sold them to you at half price before, I'll buy them back at original price now, how about that? You'll make a huge profit!"

Jake burst out laughing and cursed gleefully: "Fatty Mike, are you stupid?! What was the situation when you sold them to me? And what's the situation now! It's the apocalypse! You dead fatty! It's the apocalypse now! You still want to buy at original price? Are you outta your mind?!"

Mike Peterson also got angry: "If I hadn't made you buy them back then, would you have so much food now? You should thank me! People shouldn't forget their roots!"

"Thank your mom!" Jake shot back: "You dead fatty can just starve at home. Didn't your wife want you to lose weight? Now is your chance for a good diet, go for it!"

"Damn it!" Mike Peterson was enraged beyond belief: "Jiang! Don't get carried away! If you don't sell me your stuff, I'll send your location to the whole building, see if you can hold onto that stuff!"

He dares to threaten me? A sharp glint flashed in Jake's eyes: "Fatty Mike, stop the nonsense! Send your wife over to me for food, or get lost!"

Slap!

The call ended.

"Jake! You wanna die!"

Fatty Mike was so angry he was about to explode. His wife was his treasure, he normally wouldn't even bear to touch her roughly. Jake actually dared to have ideas about his wife!

Michelle's mind, however, spun rapidly. She didn't like Mike Peterson in the first place; it was just that his family was rich and Mike Peterson was weak-willed and easy to manipulate. Michelle had always been planning how to get control of Mike Peterson's family fortune after they got married, and then get a divorce. Now, the times had changed. Mike Peterson wasn't worth a damn. The one in charge was whoever had food. That kid Jake was much more valuable. She knew Jake's personality; he should be relatively easy to control. Otherwise, he wouldn't be manipulated and confused by that girlfriend of his, actually working and supporting her for three years while she studied for the civil service exam? Foolish. Simply ridiculous!

Sure enough, that bitch Sophia, once she secured her future, immediately dumped Jake. At the time, Jake was quite disappointed. Michelle had been disdainful. What was there to be disappointed about? Heaven and Earth will destroy anyone who doesn't look out for themselves! Naive! Michelle felt utterly contemptuous and started planning.

I'm much prettier than Sophia. As long as I use a little trick, I can make Jake infatuated with me, and then get full control of the food. Relying on Jake's food, I can definitely last a long time, until the nation comes to rescue us! Michelle didn't even realize that deep down she was still very jealous of Sophia. That woman, who was clearly not as pretty as she was, actually managed to hook up with a handsome guy like Jake! Most importantly, Sophia even managed to trick Jake into supporting her for three years while she studied for the civil service exam! This made Michelle psychologically very unbalanced.

Compared to the sunny and handsome Jake, Mike Peterson was just like a black bear. This was also why she had never let Mike Peterson touch her. Mike Peterson was just too ugly. If it weren't for Mike Peterson's money, she would never have gotten engaged to him.

Mike Peterson picked up his phone, intending to send [Room and board included]'s address to the group, but Michelle held down his hand with a grab.

"Don't send it! If others know who he is, his food won't belong to us anymore."

Mike Peterson was enraged beyond belief and said loudly: "We can't get it now either!"

Michelle's beautiful eyes widened: "Mike Peterson! You dare defy me! You dare speak to me like that!"

Mike Peterson instantly lost his nerve and carefully smiled ingratiatingly: "Baby, I wasn't angry? That kid actually dared to have ideas about you!"

"Humph!" Michelle said angrily: "How could I not be angry! A store clerk dares to have ideas about me? He doesn't even look to see if he's worthy!"

"Exactly, exactly!" Mike Peterson nodded vigorously: "So I have to publish his location, so he won't have an easy time either!"

"You're stupid! Even if others rob him, we won't get the food. Won't we still starve?" Michelle scoffed, then continued: "How about this, I'll go accompany him..."

"No way!" Mike Peterson instantly jumped up, saying anxiously: "Michelle, you can't fall for his trap!"

Michelle stared with wide eyes: "Mike Peterson! You're talking loudly to me again!"

Mike Peterson sheepishly shut his mouth, feeling extremely anxious.

"Michelle, I'm worried about you, he must be lying!"

"Wait until I finish speaking!" Michelle scoffed coldly, a sharp glint flashing in her eyes: "You hide where the peephole can't see you. As soon as he opens the door, I'll jam the door, and then you charge in and take all his stuff!"
