Sybil said, âJulian definitely has to bring Annalise to the bonfire together.â She knew Julian very well.
Although he looked cold, once he set his heart on someone, he would treat her very well. He would definitely want to bring Annalise to participate in the bonfire dance just to make Annalise happy. Henry smiled slyly. âWhy donât we make a bet? I bet they wonât come.â âOn what?â Sybil was very confident in this bet. âYou tell me!â Henryâs smile widened.
Before Sybil could think of a bet, he gently nudged her with his shoulder and said jokingly, âIf they donât appear, be my girlfriend.â âPfft, are you really going to target someone youâre so familiar with? Besides, what if I win? Could it be that the bet I win is for you to be my boyfriend?â Sybil said. âHaha, good call!â
Henry laughed out loud. Sybil rolled her eyes. âOf course, you would think itâs a good call. The results of you winning or losing is the same.â
âThen tell me, what do you want to bet on?â Henry asked. Sybil thought for a moment and suggested playfully, âIf I win, you have to shout âHenry Dalton likes menâ loudly.â âFuck, are you really going to go this big? But I like women though,â Henry said. âThatâs why I asked you to shout it. Otherwise, why would we make a bet?â Sybil smiled brightly. âWhat if you lose?â
âIâll say out loud that âSybil Xander likes women.â Sybil was fearless. âChange another one.â This wasnât lethal to her at all. âFinished 10 servings of shrimp cocktails?â âChange another one. Everyone knows you like your shrimps.â Henry said. âI canât think of anything.â âCome knock on my door tonight and stay in my room for ten minutes,â Henry said. âWill others actually misunderstand since ten minutes is so short? Hahahahahaâ¦â Sybil Xander laughed wildly. Henry Dalton, Iâm really speechless!â.
However, from the looks of it, she really did not have any feelings for him at all! He still had a long way to go before he could call her his. âStay half an hour then,â he said. âLetâs have supper. If I lose, Iâll treat you to shrimp cocktails when we get back. The all-you-can-eat kind.â Sybil said. âDeal,â Henry replied.
If she wanted to eat shrimp cocktails, so be it, since they would be doing it together anyway. The closer you were, the easier it would be for you to get the prize. The bonfire dance began.
Everyone enthusiastically formed a circle and began to jump. The rhythm was very strong, and everyone kicked in unison with the rhythm. âItâs starting!â Henry immediately reached out to pull Sybil.
Sybil joined the bonfire dance with Henry. The weather had now turned cold and with the bonfire lit with everyone dancing together, it was a very warming sight. âWhat time do we end our bet?â Sybil asked.
âAt the end of the bonfire dance.â âAlright.â Sybil was very satisfied.
She felt that Julian and the others might have gone to the hotel to rest before coming over. Nancy was currently dancing with Chloe Knightly. Every time she turned around and faced the entrance, she would look around and wonder why Julian wasnât there yet. Minaâs character was eccentric, and she was dancing between Chloe and Alan Jones. While kicking her legs to the rhythm, she chatted with Chloe.
âMs. Chloe, what style of clothes does Ms. Annalise like?â
After thinking about it, she realized that her mentor, Annalise was not short of money at all. She had once given her a necklace, but she did not want it. So, she asked around to see what kind of clothes Annalise liked so she could design them for Annalise personally. Although she could not compare to famous designers, she wanted to do it herself to express her gratitude. âShe likes it simple and comfortable,â Chloe answered. Okay. Ms Chloe. What about you?â MÃna asked again.
âIâm alright. Anything is fine.â Chloe said. Frankly, she liked formal clothes. Wearing formal clothes would make her more confident. âOkay!â Mina was very happy. As Nancy listened in to Mina and Chloeâs Conversation, she felt contempt in her heart. She really did not expect that someone like Annalise Barton would have someone else sucking up to them. Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, more than an hour had passed.
The bonfire dance was over, and everyone. was exhausted. Mina was shrieking as she plopped onto Chloe. âMs. Chloe, I canât take it anymore. Iâm going to collapse from exhaustion.â Nancyâs eyes flickered, and she immediately said to Chloe, âLetâs help her back to the hotel to rest.ââOkayâ Chloe nodded and helped Mina up with Nancyâs help Henry looked at Sybil smugly. âJulian and his wife didnât come. Hehe!â âTil treat you to a shellfish feast when we back,â Sybil said readily. get Henry smiled and asked Sybil Xander, âDonât you want to know why they didnât turn up?â âWhy?â Sybil was surprised.
âHahahahaha, theyâre just busy with that little thing.â âWhat is it?â Sybil asked. She suddenly understood what Henry meant and said exasperatedly, âIâm going back to rest!â She ran as fast as she could as if an evil spirit was chasing after her. âHaha!â Henry laughed again. He did not expect Sybil, who had always been carefree and daring, to be so thin-skinned. Nancy and Chloe helped Mina back to the hotel.
When they arrived at Minaâs room, Mina invited Chloe in for a chat session. âItâs still so early, Ms.
Chloe. Are you tired? Do you play games? Letâs play games! Iâve played a particularly fun game called Legends these few days. Do you want to play as well? Letâs go up ranks together!â Nancy was also very excited. âLetâs go!â Chloe had a good impression of Mina, so she quickly agreed and played games with Mina. Mina was a small character with huge reactions. âQuick, donât wait here now! Aim at him, aim at him!â The three women snuggled under the covers and played their game until three in the morning.
âIâm tired. Iâm not going to shower now. Iâll wash up tomorrow morning.â Mina threw her phone aside and fell asleep. She muttered, âMs. Chloe, donât go back. Just sleep here. There are two beds anyway.â
âIâm going back to my room to sleep. Have a good rest.â Chloe smiled and got up to leave. Nancy yawned and fell asleep beside Mina. The next morning. When Nancy heard movement in the room.
next door, her eyes flashed. After leaving Minaâs room, she stood at the door with her phone in her hand.
Hearing the sound of the door opening in the next room, she immediately said into the phone, âHow is that possible? Julian Parks and Annalise Barton are so in love. Julian Parks is so loving to Annalise Barton. How can she be just a substitute for someone else?â Chloe was caught by surprise. âWhat substitute? âWhat did Nancy mean?â Chloe thought. She was never, the one to eavesdrop on other peopleâs calls behind their backs.
However, the content of the call today got her stuck in her spot. She quietly retreated back to her room and left a crack on her door. She pricked up her ears to listen to Nancyâs call. Nancy continued to act. âI wonât believe it. Who could she be a substitute for? Iâve never heard of Julian Parks having someone he liked before this!â âThe little girl who saved his life? âHe had been looking? âNo way. He had been looking for her for the past ten years? âIf thatâs the case, Annalise Barton is a little pitifulâ¦â
