At this table everyone had all kinds of tricks, someone said, “How about this, we’ll excuse Ernest’s girlfriend, but regarding beautiful Emily, we have a question for you.”
“We are all curious, how come you are still single?”
“So that’s what you want to ask?”
“Of course, this will affect the scale of our game.”
Emily laughed and let go of her guard, “I’m single, go ahead and ask whatever you want.”
A few of the men took out their small notebooks as this was a rare opportunity.
“Andrew…”
“I don’t play games.” Before the woman could ask, he already answered and directly turned down what could be the question.
The few women looked lost and awkward.
James walked over to warm up the mood, “Andrew, we are all friends and it’s rare that we have a gathering, why not play along?”
“This isn’t my interest.” Andrew didn’t give in a bit.
The few women were obviously wondering what was going on and they didn’t expect Andrew’s temper to be the same as before.
He was anti-social, cold, and arrogant.
“Andrew.”
Emily immediately tugged at him in front of everybody and said politely, “Let’s all play along for fun, it doesn’t mean anything, don’t spoil the mood, okay?”
She looked at him and raised her eyebrow and pleaded with him with her Bambi eyes.
James joined in, “Emily has a point, Andrew, don’t waste any more time. After dinner, we’ll still be going for a Karaoke session. Let’s see after all these years whose skills had improved.”
Andrew kept silent after all they had said.
He didn’t like all these flirtatious games because of…
Screw it, that damn woman didn’t want to come, so be it!
“Let’s begin.”
In the end, he gave in and agreed to join in the fun, much to the cheers of everyone around.
The game was ‘Truth or Dare’ and it came fast and ruthless that’s why everyone loved to play this type of game.
Some people from the next table came over.
The wine bottle spun around several times before coming to rest pointed towards Emily.
“Emily, speak up, do you want to be in a relationship?”
Since Emily has already said that she is single, they won’t ask her if she has anyone that she liked.
They could see that once Emily heard the question, she immediately looked at Andrew, causing the women to look at each other.
She replied truthfully, “I’ll say directly, yes, I very much want to.”
“Then have you thought about what kind of man do you want to share your life with?”
“Excuse me, you can only ask one question for each turn. If you want to continue to ask, then you’ll have to play the game.”
In fact, that question was pointless to a lot of people as everybody knows what kind of man Emily likes.
He was sitting right there.
The game continued.
The next spin also stopped at a woman, Anne.
“This is Ernest’s girlfriend? She’s so cute.”
“I think she is and they had been together for a while.”
“Really? Let’s hope that this will last forever.”
Anne looked at the bottle pointed at her, what’s up with this, she’s next!
Ernest looked mischievously at her, “Choose, Truth, or Dare?”
