Rudy pressed the switch a couple of times, but nothing happened.
"Uhh...." Rudy let out an angry sigh and muttered, "Angelica..."
"I know you are awake. Reply to me!" His face twitched repeatedly.
'Angelica is currently sleeping,' she said from Rudy's body.
"You watched anime all night until the phone died, didn't you?"
'No. It died while I was watching.'
"Same shit! You knew I had plans today, so why would you do this? And even if the phone had died, you could have at least plugged it into the charger. You didn't even tell me when I woke up, or I would have done it myself.
At least, I would have had like 10% charge on the phone to make important calls."
He uttered while repeatedly sighing after every sentence.
'I did plug it in, but nothing was happening. You can look at the socket on the wall...'
Rudy confirmed it and said, "Fine~ Sorry for yelling at you. I wasn't really angry, just frustrated."
'No, it was my fault too. I am sorry. I won't touch your phone ever again,' she said in a sad voice.
"Stop being a drama queen and go to sleep. We already have plans for tonight. But right now, it's time to pay off Reina's debt."
He first teleported the bags to Reina's office and went downstairs.
"Lucy, I am going out, so make sure to keep the doors locked. Mom should be home soon, and if she asks where I went, tell her that I will be back in the evening."
"Okay." After a brief pause, she asked, "Hey... do you... can I have your number?
"Oh... yes. Sure."
Rudy had texted and told his number to everyone, but not Lucy. He thought it would be strange to text her like that when they had never even had a proper conversation before.
"Here." He gave his number to Lucy and said, "You can call me anytime if you need something, alright?"
"Okay," She nodded.
After that, Rudy left the house through the front door. Lucy locked the door after Rudy left and sat on the living room couch.
SIGH!
She looked at her phone and added Rudy's number with the name R-U-D-, but she stopped and deleted the name.
After pondering for a few seconds, she smiled slightly from the corner of her lips and added his number as 'S-t-e-p-B-r-o'.
Meanwhile, Rudy teleported near Alice's house and went to pick her up. He wasn't sure if he should ring the doorbell or just wait for her as he had already texted her that he was on his way.
But he decided to ring the bell to let her know that he had already arrived. He moved his hand to the switch, but the door suddenly opened, and Alice walked out.
"I saw you from the window~" she said with a smile on her face.
Rudy kissed her on the lips and said, "Good morning."
"Are we going on a date?" she asked cheerfully.
"Umm, no." Rudy grabbed Alice's breasts and teleported to Reina's office.
"Wha--! Don't do that suddenly without warning!"
"I wanted to see your reaction. Do you feel okay, though?"
"Yeah. I feel like I just got off a ride."
Rudy glanced around Reina's office, but Reina wasn't there and nor were the briefcases.
"Where did she go?
Rudy was about to leave the office and search for her, but she came with the briefcases in her hands and closed the door.
"Did you send them?" she asked with an anxious look on her face.
"Obviously," he replied with a shrug.
PHEW!
"There is so much money in there!" She placed them on the table and opened them, revealing thousands of notes of $100.
"Wow! That's so much money!" Alice grabbed one of the notes and checked it while asking, "Are they real?"
"No."
She squinted her eyes and said, "I just checked, and they are real."
"How did you get so much money?" Reina asked curiously.
"Heh!" Rudy sat in a haughty position on the couch and said with a proud and confident look on his face: "I have my secret ways."
"Wait a minute..." Alice raised her brows and squinted her eyes as she asked, "Don't tell me the bank robbery was done by you."
"Wow. You made me a criminal. How rude. I won that money in gambling." Rudy turned to Reina and said, "Didn't I tell you about it?"
"Yeah, but this is so much money. How much is it anyway?" she asked curiously.
"Why don't you guess."
Reina pondered for a while and said, "Fifty thousand in one briefcase."
"What about you, Alice?"
"Umm... around five hundred thousand in one briefcase?" Alice guessed.
"It's one million in one briefcase."
"What?!" Alice and Reina exclaimed in unison.
"Anyway, Alice. Reina and I are going to the bank to pay off her loan. Can you take care of this place in her stead?" Rudy asked calmly.
"But... I don't know what to do..."
"Just give tickets until you run out of them. You don't have to leave the office. In fact, I advise you to keep the door locked," Reina responded.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah. If Rudy trusts you, then I do too. And besides, we are now sister wives, aren't we?"
"Well, he only married the two vampire sisters. The rest of us are still his girlfriends," Alice asserted while shooting a soft glare at Rudy.
"What? If you girls want to get married, then sure. Let's go, I am ready anytime," he shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly.
Both of them averted their gazes and said, "We are not ready yet."
"Yeah, yeah. I will be marrying you all soon."
"Oh? What will you say to my dad? And your mom?" Alice asked with a judging look on her face.
"That's..." Rudy dodged the question and turned to Reina. "Shall we go? The earlier we go, the earlier we will return."
"Umm... I..." She squirmed a little with a flushed face and said, "Can we... go on a date today?"
