I cut her off. “Are you buying or not? If not, I
will.”
I told the salesperson to pack them all up for
Seeing that she failed to show off in front of
me, Millie gritted her teeth. She quickly
grabbed the salesperson’s hand and pointed to a ruby set. “I want this one!”
Chad was still hesitant and tugged at her
sleeve, whispering, “Five million, isn’t that a
bit too much?”
Millie was furious and insisted on buying it,
telling the salesperson to wrap it up and take
her money.
But their credit cards all showed insufficient
funds. In the end, they emptied their accounts
to barely pay for it.
Three days passed quickly. Millie had enough
money to buy the house, found the realtor,
completed the transfer, and got the keys.
When it was almost time, I went to the
neighborhood.
The coworkers were already there, eager to
see how Millie was going to get rich.
Soon, Millie and Chad arrived. She looked
around at everyone there, and after
confirming I was there, she nodded in
satisfaction. “Okay, let’s go up together.’

Along the way, the coworkers looked at the
neighborhood and were puzzled. “Millie, this neighborhood is old. It can’t be worth much.”
“Yeah, there’s no greenery, and it’s full of old people.”
“There are no schools around. The only good thing is that it’s close to the company, but
you quit, so that’s useless.”
Listening to their chatter, Millie looked at
them like they were idiots. “This house is
cheap and not worth much, but there are
valuable things inside. Now that the house is
mine, everything inside is mine too.”
Hearing this, some coworkers thought of the
news they had seen online about people
finding millions in foreclosed houses.
They were shocked, but some were still rational. “You haven’t even been to the house
yet. How can you be sure there’s something
valuable inside?”
Even if Millie was dumb, she couldn’t say she had been reborn. She could only say, “It’s a secret.”
Her mysterious manner actually convinced
some coworkers, who immediately flattered
her. “Millie, when you get rich, don’t forget
about us.”

Millie’s vanity was at its peak, and her face was beaming.
When we got to the door of the house, Millie

took out the key and tried to insert it, but it
wouldn’t open.
Her smile froze, and she repeatedly turned
the key, but the door still wouldn’t open.
The coworkers noticed something was wrong and asked, “What’s going on?”
Millie forced a smile. “The key might be rusty
and hard to open.
