Lily teases him. “Leigh, you are something! When you get married, you can invite all your twenty-six ex-girlfriends over. It’ll be a big scene!”
“I’ve done answering. Let’s go on!”
Leigh knows clearly that it’s not wise to provoke a woman. When she’s pissed off, he can’t use the hard tactics against her. Hence, he tries to change the subject with a cheeky smile, asking others to go on.
All continue with the game.
This time, the box under Leigh’s finger turns red.
“Finally it’s my turn to vent my anger!” He raises his eyebrows, as if he can do something to revenge.
Gritting his teeth, he looks over at Lily.
He hasn’t forgotten how Lily teases him just now. Now here comes the chance, he certainly wants to revenge.
Lily is not afraid, either. Her lips apart, she says, “Okay. I choose truth.”
With a cheap smile, Leigh asks, “Lily, are you sure?”
“If I chose dare, what can I do if you asks me to kiss a man in the hall?” Lily sneers. “I know your virtue very well. Truth, please!”
“Okay. It’s up to you.” Leigh rubs his chin pretentiously. Then he says with a smile, “I heard the one-year marriage between you and Jason was in name only...”
Upon hearing it, Lily’s eyelids bump.
Leigh’s smile becomes deeper, grinning ear to ear. “Where did the first time between you and Louis take place?”
“Leigh.” Louis calls him aloud.
“Louis, you can’t be so protective,” Leigh yells, “I’ve given Lily a chance. She insisted on choosing truth. So whatever I ask, Lily has to answer. This is the rule of the game.”
“Okay. I’ll answer it.” Lily waves her hand at Louis to stop him from interfacing. With blushed ear tips, she says, “Our first time was in Z&J Hotel.”
“Oh...” Leigh responses in a dragging tone. Then he says ambiguously, “No wonder Louis loves to stay in Z&J Hotel. It turns out that it’s a place full of memories.”
Louis can’t help but kick him.
He uses full strength when kicking, so Leigh almost cries in pain loudly.
Just because of Leigh’s annoying behaviors, later Lily and others all make fun of him no matter who wins.
When Leigh chooses dare, he’s asked to find a man in the hall and dance in front of him. Plus he needs to admits himself a gay for ten times to that man. When Leigh chooses truth, he’s asked who his first love is, what crime he has committed, and so on. Even Jessie makes fun of him together with others.
After several rounds of games, Leigh regrets so much and he’d rather kill himself.
He finally has understood that it’s much better to offend a villain instead of a woman who has a lot of friends.
When the women are united, it’s really horrible.
The pointer on the cell phone keeps rotating. After a few seconds, the box under Lily’s finger turns red.
Leigh’s hands tremble. He’s frightened after receiving so many tortures from the group. He says to Lily with fear, “Well... Lily, I really know I was wrong. I choose truth...”
Lily bursts into laughter. “Stupid, look at you! I won’t choose you this time.”
“Really?” Leigh immediately wears a cheeky smile. “Lily, thank you for not killing me.”
Lily turns to Louis.
Louis looks back at her, a slight smile appearing on his face. “Mrs. Smith, what do you want me to choose?”
“We’ve played for over an hour. Everyone must be tired. I won’t make it difficult for you,” says Lily, her eyes bright and sly. “Mr. Smith, I haven’t heard you sing before. Sing a song for me tonight.”
“I agree! I haven’t heard Louis sing either.” Leigh raises both his hands in agreement. “But, Lily, you have to be well-prepared. I guess Louis is not good at singing at all.”
“Ask your men to keep an eye on him.” Recalling what Lily has said to him, Louis takes a few steps back. “Take a look into the matter that he’s going to deal with. Once he’s done, guard him back right away.”
He will never let Lily involve into the war between the two brothers from the Krislier family.
“Okay.” Since Louis tells him so, David is not worried about going back to New York. He feels quite happy immediately. “I’ll go back to Yorkshire now...”
Louis interrupts him. “No need to rush back to Yorkshire. Can you sing?”
“Huh?” David is unable to react for a while.
“Can you sing?”
“Yes, I can, but...” David scratches the back of his head, feeling somehow embarrassed. “But I’m not good at it. Mr. Smith, do you want me to sing for you?”
Louis looked up at the stage and then at the group in the booth.
‘Four men should fit in,’ he thought to himself.
“There’s an event that you need to participate in.” Louis waves at him and whispers something in his ear.
David’s expression immediately changes. He mutters in depression, “Mr. Smith, am I not miserable enough since I don’t have a girlfriend at my twenty-nine? Now you want me to perform on the stage, just to amuse Mrs. Smith?”
“Two-million year-end bonus for you. Do you want it?”
“Mr. Smith, I’ve learned how to play bass!” David immediately cheers up. He says seriously, “As long as Mrs. Smith is happy, I can play for a whole night.”
Louis is speechless.
Lily is still waiting for Louis to come back. Unexpectedly, David is the only one returning to the booth.
She saw David walk straight to Leigh and Daniel and whisper in their ears. Then Leigh nods with a cheeky smile. Daniel glances at Stella, nodding with a gloomy face.
