Zoe Montgomery was on speaker with some rich heir, giggling so much she could barely hold the phone. She said, "That poor loser Russell is waiting for me downstairs again. So annoying." She threw me a look. "Amanda, go tell him to leave. Just say I'm not feeling well tonight." I followed her gaze to the window. Everyone in the dorm thought Russell was just a broke, useless transfer student. But I knew better. Last month, I'd worked part-time as a cleaner at the city's most exclusive private club. I'd seen him surrounded by powerful elites, leaving a VIP room while even the club owner bowed to him. I grabbed an umbrella, slipped into a clingy white T-shirt, and headed out. Rain soaked me through, making every curve impossible to hide. I stopped in front of Russell and held the umbrella over his head. I said, "Russell, Zoe asked me to tell you to head home." His Adam's apple bobbed as his gaze lingered down my shirt. He asked, "Who are you?" I replied, "I'm Zoe's roommate. Amanda Alexander." That night, while Zoe went to sleep with the rich heir, I escorted Russell back to my off-campus apartment.
