My Sweet Seduction novel Chapter 24

“MARGAUX, IT’S GOOD that you came. We’re all worried about you,” Julia told me with so much concern.

“Yes, it looks like alcohol was bad for you in the past, ah?” Allysa groaned as Julia stopped her by tapping her at the shoulder.

“Are you okay?” Samantha asked while keeping her eyes on her cellphone.

“I’m okay, thank you,” I shyly said, both cheeks turned red with embarrassment because of the full attention they gave me.

I also saw Cindy and Carrick coming with Elliesse and Lawrence. I didn’t want our eyes to meet this time, so I just decided to avert my gaze.

“Everything is here, come on!” William shouted before pulling his girlfriend Allysa to a mini-boat to board a yacht not far away.

One by one, we boarded the yacht that Lawrence allegedly owned. I just shook my head at what I found out. If I only knew, I would not have come and just went straight home.

We stayed in the room reserved for us because the yacht was so big that we did not have to huddle in a room.

Julia and I shared a cabin while Samantha and Allysa were in the other room.

The boys as well as the couple Carrick and Cindy also separated the room. Lawrence and Elliesse are probably in the same room. Even if it hurts in my heart, I just put it aside and shrugged.

“Wow, it’s so nice here!” exclaimed Julia before opening the room reserved for us.

Like Julia, I could not help but marvel at the shouting pomp. Just before the entrance, I was welcomed by a high-quality chandelier. There was also an amazing chair lounge with a wooden table beneath the creamy tapestry. I turned right where the door had been sliding. The development of the yacht was evident from here.

I decided to enter the room where I found Julia lying on the soft bed. I went straight to the closet to put my carrying bag there.

“Can I ask a question?”

“Sure, Julia. What is it?” I turned to face her, who was leaning in front of me.

“Have you been with Lawrence?” she curiously asked without a blinked.

I sighed as I walk towards my bed, “Nope . . .”

“Really?” She hitched her brows and mine, seemingly unwilling to believe my answer.

I sighed again and shook my head repeatedly.

“Your dare last time, hmm . . . I just noticed because his kiss to you is more intense than Elliesse,” she told me before getting up from lying down.

“Maybe it was just because of the alcohol,” I refused, but I couldn’t help but blush at what I heard.

“Why did he run after you, then?” she asked with a raised eyebrow.

“He did apologize for what happened. I was wrong. I should not have said he kissed me even in front of Elliesse, and I admit I blamed him,” I said tonelessly.

“Why did he follow you when he was next to his girlfriend? We’re puzzled, you know,” she intriguingly said and shrugged a bit.

I swallowed. I didn’t answer that because I also don’t know the answer to it. I shook again and stepped back to the front of the closet.

“Life is really unfair. You love each other, but you cannot be together,” she said in a low tone.

I turned my head to face her and smiled a bit. “Is that some kind of a wisdom?”

“Hmm, kinda.” She laughed and shrugged her shoulders.

IT WAS NOON when Julia and I decided to go out to our cabin.
