The boss gave me a month off and gave me 500 million yuan, asking me to spend it within a month.
I woke up to my boss handing me half a billion dollars.
In a rush of adrenaline, I blurted out, “Hubby!”
He just chuckled, a glint in his eye. “Only half a billion and you’re calling me ‘hubby‘? What if it was five billion, would you marry me then?”
My eyes widened. “Is that even an option?”

Early that morning, a text notification jolted me awake.
Still half–asleep, I picked up my phone, then practically shot up from bed the moment I
saw it.
My bank account. Half a billion dollars.
The sender? My boss, Damon Thorne.
Was my boss kidnapped? Did he lose his mind? Why would he randomly send me half a
billion? My hand trembled as I dialed Damon Thorne’s number.
The second he picked up, my nerves got the best of me, and I stammered, “B–b–b–boss…
hubby…”
The moment the word left my lips, I wanted to bite my tongue off.
Just because half a billion landed in my account didn’t mean I could abandon my
principles and call my boss “hubby.” There was a long silence on the other end.
“What? I just gave you half a billion and you’re calling me ‘hubby‘ already?”

Me: “…”
My bad, sir! My bad!
“Five minutes. I’m waiting downstairs.”
Classic domineering CEO vibe.
I rushed downstairs. A Rolls–Royce was parked by the entrance–the same car I’d helped him choose.
I stood in front of the car, bowing slightly. “Good morning, Boss.”
Inside, a man with sharp features and an undeniable aura of power sat. He gave me a
cool glance, then his thin lips parted. “Get in.”
My heart hammered in my chest as I cautiously slid inside.
“Starting today, until midnight on the 10th of next month, you must spend all half a billion dollars I’ve given you.”
His words were concise.
Me: “?”
He added, “Don’t ask why. Just spend the money. If you fail to complete the task…”
His eyes narrowed slightly. “You’ll have hell to pay.”
I instinctively touched my neck, a shiver running down my spine.
Half a billion dollars! This wasn’t just a few thousand. I was just an average person; I’d never seen so much money. How was I even supposed to spend it all? I had absolutely no
clue.
“Can I buy a house?” I asked cautiously.
He shook his head. “No. Property purchases are invalid.”

“Then, stocks?”
“Stock purchases are invalid.”
“What about-”
My boss seemed annoyed by my questions. He simply tossed a document at me. I
opened it and my face just fell.
It was full of legal jargon, but the gist was clear: “I cannot use this half a billion to
generate personal assets, nor can I donate it…”
This was impossible!
“Boss, what am I supposed to do then?”
Damon was ruthless. “I’m only responsible for giving you the money. The rest is up to
you.”
He gave me a month off from work.
My sole task for that month was to spend all half a billion. Not a single cent could be left
in the account.
I sent a SnapChat to my best friend, Chloe, asking for help: *Hey, girl, how do I spend
money?*
*Spend what money? You’re the kind of person who only has five bucks and change in
your account, can’t even get extra cheese on your bagel!*
I paused for a moment: *Actually, I probably have enough money to buy every bagel shop in the world now. Chloe, calm down. I need to tell you something. I have half a billion
dollars.*
Chloe: *What kind of dream are you having in broad daylight?*
I screenshotted my bank balance and sent it to her.
Five minutes later, Chloe replied.

*Alright, smarty pants, you’ve learned to Photoshop. And it’s not April Fool’s Day, sis.*
*I’m not lying! I really have half a billion.*
Chloe rushed over to my place. After calling the bank and confirming I wasn’t joking, her eyes looked at me differently. Her eyes practically screamed, “Sugar Mama, feed me!”
“There’s a job for you. Are you interested?” I asked.
I raised my hand. “I’ll pay you this much.”
Chloe: “Five thousand a month?”
I replied, “Five million a month.”
Chloe nearly fainted. When she came to, she grabbed my hand. “Girl, from today on,
you’re my breadwinner, my lifeline!”
