Chapter 152: Hate The Game.
Hugo followed Collins down the stairs to the underground car park, his sneakers making soft squeaking noises with each step.
The dim lighting cast long shadows, and the faint hum of distant engines filled the silence between them.
Hugo’s mind raced as he tried to piece together what exactly Collins was up to. ’Why are we even going to the car park? This dude better not be pranking me. Could it be... nah, that’s impossible’
He shook his head, his thoughts becoming more ridiculous by the second. ’What if he’s secretly in the mafia? Or worse, what if he found a way to get the man to pay off his student loans?!’
Collins seemed oblivious to Hugo’s inner panic. He was practically bouncing as he led Hugo through the maze of parked cars, his grin widening with every step.
Hugo trailed behind him, narrowing his eyes suspiciously. ’Why is he so happy? This guy looks like he just won the lottery. Or ate the last slice of pizza without sharing.’
Finally, Collins stopped in front of a sleek white car. Hugo’s breath hitched the moment he saw it. It was a Benz. Not just any Benz.
Hugo froze. His jaw dropped, and his brain short-circuited. He blinked a few times, hoping his eyes were playing tricks on him. But no.
The car was still there, gleaming under the fluorescent lights. It looked exactly like his Benz.
Except it wasn’t black anymore. It was white.
"What the hell?!" Hugo blurted out, stumbling forward like a man who had just seen a ghost. He hadn’t expected them to fix it this fast!
But...
He pointed a trembling finger at the car, his voice rising with each word. "Who... who told them to paint my car white?!"
Collins turned to him, looking genuinely confused. "Huh? What are you talking about?"
Hugo gestured wildly at the car. "This is my car! My Benz! I paid $28,000 for this baby, and I just spent $3,500 on repairs! Who told the repair shop to change the colour?!"
Collins shrugged. "Hey, don’t hate the player. Hate the game. Some of us are just blessed."
Hugo groaned and paced back and forth, muttering under his breath. ’This isn’t fair. This is so unfair. I work hard, I struggle, I make sacrifices, and this guy just gets a Benz handed to him like it’s a pack of gum. What kind of twisted reality is this?’
Says the guy who got 50 grand as his winnings from a dumb bet.
Collins laughed and threw an arm around Hugo’s shoulders. "Come on, don’t be salty. Look, I’ll make it up to you. Drinks are on me tonight. Let’s hit the club and celebrate."
Hugo raised an eyebrow. "Celebrate what?" ’The fact that the universe clearly hates me?’
Collins smirked. "Celebrate the fact that your best friend just got a Benz and is about to throw the biggest birthday party of the year. You’re helping me plan it, by the way."
Hugo sighed, his shoulders slumping in defeat. "I don’t even have the energy to argue with you right now."
Collins grinned and patted him on the back. "That’s the spirit. Now let’s go. The club’s waiting, and I’m feeling generous tonight."
Hugo followed him reluctantly as they left the car park, muttering under his breath. "I need new friends. Normal friends. Friends who don’t give me heart attacks every five minutes."
