Footing The Bill

Anna got to meet Michael Xufu Huang during an art show, and the two became instant friends. The successful art collector and museum founder event went with her to Italy to go and attend the Venice Biennale. His new friend raised red flags when she asked if he could pay for the flight and hotel, which he found to be “a little weird”. Still, he did not think much of this request since she promised she would pay him back for it. Besides, the amount was nothing to someone with his net worth. What do you think, did she pay him back eventually?

Bye Venice

When they were in Italy, Huang thought it was odd that she never put anything on her card. However, this was not enough for him to get suspicious either. It was only a matter of time before they had to return, however. Despite this, Anna did not seem to remember to pay him back. Nonetheless, Michael knew such behavior was common among the super-rich. These people often forgot minor details like this incident. He himself would forget all about it until he got a rude awakening. More on that later.
