"Fine! For f*cks sake!" Chris sat on the couch, glaring at Cathy.
"Ohh, good morning to you too." Cathy smiled warmly, making Chris want nothing more than to throw away his ethics and punch that smile up her face.
"Now now, No need for the glare...Uhh, no need for the finger either, Chris..." with a troubled wry smile, Cathy closed the middle finger Chris was showing her.
"I am not going to go work today, I am gonna quit my job," Chris suddenly dropped a bombshell upon his two siblings.
"W-What?! Why?!" Cathy's mood suddenly took a 180-degree turn from playful to pissed off.
With her good and cute looks, Cathy dread to beco a successful Actress. However, just like Chris, she also had to drop her dream and work hard to get their family out of the debts their parents left them in.
Unlike Chris, she wasn't able to bury her desires deep underground and still coveted her only dream. But, after looking at Chris working so hard, She couldn't bring herself to ditch her responsibilities and she continued to work.
That was until...Chris suddenly called quits on his responsibility. Various emotions raged on her face and the most dominating ones were shock and anger.
"Hey Cath, You always wanted to beco an Actress right?" Chris didn't answer her question and pulled her to sit next to himself.
"I wanted to, so what?!" her anger was completely obvious, she shouted.
"Then, Go Chase your Dream."
"What do you m-"
"My friend offered a partnership in his business. Money is no longer an issue, Cath," Chris gave a bullshit excuse for his ever so increasing bank balance and smiled.
"W-What?...T-That is true??..." Cathy's eyes teared up, unable to handle such a big switch in her fickle emotions.
"Shh. It's true, Cath." Chris hugged her gently and stroked her hair, consoling her yet again for the 3rd ti since the day before yesterday...
"Brother..." Cassie also joined in the hug, she didn't understand what was exactly going on. But, sohow she knew it was a good thing.
... a Few Minutes Later.
"Sniff, Sniff, How dare you hug when you stink so much?!" After having her emotions her cald down and her ntal balance sowhat sane, She pushed Chris away after noticing his foul body odor.
"Yuck, Brother!" Cassie also followed Cathy's lead and pushed Chris away.
"You ungrateful brats, This is how you thank ?!" Chris held his heart, faking to undergo a terrible heartache.
"Hahaha" Both Cassie and Cathy laughed upon seeing Chris's Oscar-winning performance.
"Well, I got to go to school Bye, love you two." Cassie was first to take her leave, She quickly chugged her milk and ran out of the apartnt after equipping her school bag.
"Well then, Chris. I won't doubt you anymore either, I will be quitting my job too. Maybe search for so acting auditions along the way." Cathy smiled at Chris.
"Yeah, leave it to , Have fun." Chris smirked at her and waved his hand to bye her.
"Finally alone." Chris sighed in relief, unable to hold his curiosity any longer, He quickly picked up his cracked-up phone from the ground.
The blueish hologram also opened up in front of his face.

"Cough! Cough!" Chris's eyes widened as he stared blankly at the hologram. The last ti in his life when he saw this much money was when he sold off all his inheritances...and since then his life made him yearn for every single dollar...
"I expected this amount, But it still feels surreal..." Chris gulped his saliva and spoke dryly.
Finally, after overcoming his initial daze, Chris pressed the sweet Upgrade button twice.

"Aweso~" Chris smiled widely and got up to take a shower.
...Nearly 30 Minutes later
"Yep, the first priority will be to buy clothes." Chris nodded to himself while dressing in a plain faded shirt and trousers. He looked once more in the mirror and fixed his ssy hairstyle a bit.
Standing in front of a mirror that reflected his above-average visage, Chris smiled slightly.
Excusing his lack of decent clothing, His Long jet-black hair, deep hazel eyes, sharp jawline, and red thin lips earned him a right to call himself 'handso'.
On the other hand, his body was h. 181 cm height, 66 kg weight, and no apparent muscles.
Couple this with his lack of clothing and you get the answer why he was single.
After being satisfied with his looks, Chris equipped his old shoes and headed out of the apartnt. Going through the gloomy surroundings again, Chris soon reached the main road and stopped himself a taxi.
... Soti later
"Sir, We have reached the Glorr Mall." The taxi driver stopped the cab in front of a big wide building, that was painted in an inviting light-toned coloring sche, its walls adorned with countless posters and banners of many brands and products.
"Thank you." Chris opened the cab's door and got out after transferring the displayed amount on the ter to the cab driver.
Chris looked at the Glorr Mall with a complex look, He rembered the last ti he visited here with his parents at the age of 11.
A rush of nostalgia drew Chris in, making him appear gawking blankly at the building and getting tagged as a country bumpkin by others.
'Get ahold of yourself, Chris!' Chris scolded himself and entered the mall, throwing away all that grief and nostalgia.
Curiously looking around the bright stores and walking on the pearl-white tiles of glorious Glorr Mall, Chris found what he was searching for.
M & H STORE
M&H was a multinational clothing store chain that was famous for its wide range of products. With a lot of capital in hand, Chris proudly walked into the store...
