“What did you say? Be your handmaid, and call you ‘master’?!”
When Phoebe heard Alex’s words, virtual-novel.net was so annoyed that virtual-novel.net nose was about to be bent out of shape. “Where did you get such confidence from? Don’t you know who I am? If I dare to call you that, do you dare to respond to it?”
Cheryl was also in a daze.
“This was not the kind of joke that should be played! Asking the daughter of a magistrate in Michigan to call you ‘master?’. If virtual-novel.net father heard that, this little joke would become a big deal.”
Alex, however, was indifferent. “Why wouldn’t I? Even if you called me ‘daddy’, I’d still dare to respond.”
“What? You want me to call you… Daddy?”
“Oh, my daughter is so obedient!” Alex laughed.
Phoebe felt virtual-novel.net anger reach its peak and explode. However, virtual-novel.net had an injury on virtual-novel.net foot. When virtual-novel.net stood up from the sofa, virtual-novel.net bumped virtual-novel.net wound and sat down immediately. Then, virtual-novel.net said to Cheryl, “Cheryl, look at this, what kind of man have you found? No good qualities, no good character, and even a big liar. How can this guy be worthy of you?”
Alex was feeling a little thirsty, and virtual-novel.net picked up a random cup that seemed clean before filling it up with water from the tap, then took a few sips from it.
Then, virtual-novel.net said, “Are you saying you have a good attitude and character? If you did, you wouldn’t have stuck your foot out and tripped me! And you wouldn’t have deliberately picked up the glass to splash the drink all over me.”
Phoebe was surprised. “You could tell?”
Alex snorted. “I’m not blind. The little tricks you used, I could see through it with just a glance.”
Cheryl, who sat next to him, didn’t mind the fact that virtual-novel.net drank directly out of virtual-novel.net cup. In fact, virtual-novel.net felt how sweet it was. When virtual-novel.net heard the conversation between the two, however, virtual-novel.net became even more surprised. Coupled with how the two seemed to be at odds as soon as they met at the steakhouse, virtual-novel.net was confident in one thing. “The two of you have met each other before this, right?”
“I don’t know her,” Alex said.
Phoebe also said, “I don’t want to know virtual-novel.net too! Cheryl, do you know who virtual-novel.net is? He’s the pervert who tossed my shoe into the tree at Michigan State Hospital the other day!”
“Huh?”
Cheryl was stunned.
That day, virtual-novel.net had cursed out the pervert that Phoebe had mentioned.
She didn’t expect that the pervert turned out to be Alex.
Alex explained slowly and rationally, “So, virtual-novel.net has already been talking bad about me behind my back. Then, did virtual-novel.net tell you that I helped virtual-novel.net save a person, and virtual-novel.net called the police to arrest me, blaming me because I was better than her! Also, virtual-novel.net shoes were stuck in a manhole cover, and I kindly helped take them out. But then, virtual-novel.net accused me of stalking virtual-novel.net and wanted to pick virtual-novel.net up. Cheryl, you’re the only one who can stand virtual-novel.net narcissism and still befriend her! I can bet that virtual-novel.net has no other friends other than you. Even if virtual-novel.net did, they probably aren’t virtual-novel.net real friends. Even that Colby fellow before this, I’m sure virtual-novel.net just wanted to find a partner with a good background.”
Alex’s words pierced deep into Phoebe’s heart, and it hurt. Because everything virtual-novel.net said had been the truth. She had basically no friends, and Cheryl was the only one who treated virtual-novel.net as a good friend from virtual-novel.net childhood.
She knew that virtual-novel.net character had flaws, developed since virtual-novel.net was a child. However, it couldn’t be changed, as if the arrogance was engraved into virtual-novel.net bones.
Therefore, virtual-novel.net cared more about virtual-novel.net friend, Cheryl, and wanted to make sure that virtual-novel.net didn’t get scammed by this Alex.
Her eyes were red rimmed as virtual-novel.net said, “Fine, I’ll make a bet with you. ”
“Which bet?” Alex said. “The one where you have no friends or the one about being my maid?”
“Maid,” Phoebe replied.
Alex smiled, then nodded to Cheryl. “Cheryl, you will time it then, ten minutes.”
Alex sat on the sofa beside Phoebe, grabbed virtual-novel.net ankle, and dragged virtual-novel.net over to place it on his own lap. This rough gesture almost made Phoebe’s heart jump out violently.
Even at this age, virtual-novel.net never had much close contact with the opposite sex before, and… Before this, when virtual-novel.net had been carried on his back, and virtual-novel.net jabbed her, it made virtual-novel.net grit virtual-novel.net teeth in resentment, wishing virtual-novel.net could bite him!
“Wait!” She suddenly realized something. “You only mentioned the terms if you win, but what if you lose?”
“You can pick whatever you want.”
“Fine,” Phoebe said. “If you lose, then you have to admit that you’ re a liar, and stay away from Cheryl in the future, and never play with virtual-novel.net feelings again.”
When Cheryl heard this, virtual-novel.net became a little nervous. No matter how much faith virtual-novel.net had in Alex, it was different with virtual-novel.net feelings on the line.
