"I actually have a bit of money saved."
Slowly, after holding back for what seemed like an eternity, Sophie finally disclosed her secret stash of cash.
This amount was not large, but it had been accumulated through years of strict living on frugality.
"How much?" Vicky eyes immediately flashed with greed, though he soon tried to conceal his eagerness, making an effort to keep a nonchalant tone in his voice.
"Not much… only just a bit over fifty thousand dollars," Sophie answered truthfully.
She had intended to hold this money as her final safety stash in case of any emergencies for her security.
"I cannot take that much money from you," He spoke firmly, his head shaking as if in righteous denial. "I am a man with feet and hands, how could I spend the money you struggled so hard to save?
I have not even done anything for you, yet you're going to give me a helping hand when things are tough… i will feel guilty for it."
