Damon glanced at Lovie like a child who had been handed candy. "Are you that happy?" Lovie inquired.
"Of course I am; I know we are one step closer to marriage."
Lovie wonders why Damon is so fascinated with marriage. She turns to Damon and says, "We are not going to get married for like the next four years. I understand that you are at the marriage age because you are twenty-five years old, but you need to understand that I am only eighteen... I still have to go to university and establish a job for myself; therefore, I apologize."
Damon grimaced and thought to himself that Lovie was despising him for being too old and wondered why Lovie could not be his age; he thought to himself that it was not his fault that he is old. "Can't we change that to two years? You will be older then since you will be twenty years old; we will only live together during marriage; I won't force you to give me a child because I know you're not done with school and you still have dreams you want to achieve," Damon said, looking at Lovie with a pleading look.
Lovie thought Damon's pleading look was cute and agreed to the two-year arrangement because there won't be a woman in this world who isn't happy that her man is planning to marry her because there are many couples out there who will never marry or whose partner doesn't even want to put a ring on their finger, so she considered it her fortune to meet a man like Damon.
"Come bring out your exercise book; it's time for our tutoring session," Damon told Lovie. Lovie frowned at Damon and wondered why Damon wasn't taking a break from tutoring today given they had just started dating. "Hmph!" Lovie exclaimed as she stomped her leg and walked away, but not before glaring at Damon.
"Women are such strange human beings." Damon murmured to himself quietly because he couldn't understand what Lovie was upset about; before he became her tutor, Lovie told him not to be easy on her, so why is she furious now? Damon promptly followed Lovie, encouraged her not to be furious, and they subsequently resumed their tutoring sessions.
Damon helped Lovie study until midnight, and Lovie felt sorry for Damon because he had been doing it for a week. He helped her with her homework till twelve o'clock in the morning and then went back to sleep at his house, knowing that he would have to get up at five o'clock to go to work at his company. Damon has been sleeping only five hours per day because of her. Lovie made up her mind that she was going to be a nice girlfriend and would treat Damon with care.
Lovie was awakened the next day by the sound of her phone ringing; she picked up the phone without looking to see who was calling until she heard her father's voice. "Hello Lovie," the speaker stated before going on to "give me the money you earned from your novels; I need it because my company is in trouble and I need the money to solve some of the company's problems.".
Lovie wondered if there was something wrong with her father's head and if robbery had always been that easy. "Who asks for help in a commanding tone like my dad?" Lovie thought to herself and wondered how her father could just ask her for money as if she hadn't been kicked out of the house a week before. "What do you need the money for?"
"Do I need to tell you what I need the money for before you can give it to me?" Mr. Crown shouted at Lovie and continued to say, "Why can't you..." He couldn't finish his sentence because Lovie had already ended the call because she couldn't deal with her father's drama that morning, and since today was her first day of dating Damon, she had planned to call Damon first thing in the morning and tell him sweet nothings, but her father had already ruined her day.
She stood up from the bed and began making the bed; as she was doing so, her phone called again, and Lovie ended the call and continued doing her things; the phone rang again, and Lovie picked up the call furiously, "What?" When she picked up the phone, an angry voice boomed out from it. "Lovie, how dare you end the call with me? I'm your father, and..."
Lovie cuts him off, stating, "If you continue yapping, I will terminate the call once more." Mr. Crown suddenly stopped talking. "Okay, dad, tell me what happened to your company."Lovie asked her father once again.
When Mr. Crown was reminded about his company again, he redirected his rage to the person who put his company in a bind, and he began complaining to Lovie, "The gold company is really overdoing it; I've never had any business with them, but they put out word for anyone not to associate and cooperate with my company again, even though I've never done anything to them."
Lovie smirked as she learned about her father's problems since she knew Damon's sole purpose for bothering with a small company like her father's was to exact revenge for her. Lovie smiled sweetly to herself, thinking that Damon was overly attentive. And, because she knew Damon was doing it to avenge her, she refused to give her father the money to fix a problem that she had caused in the first place.
