Chapter 2693
Cherry could not allow Tia to pass this opportunity up. After all, it was the perfect chance for them. It was something that must not be allowed to go to waste.
Tia was blushing as she looked down and replied, "D-don't say that. I just did the bare minimum."
Initially, she was just doing what she thought she was supposed to do: taking care of a person who had been hospitalized. However, Cherry's words had made very shy as her cheeks began to flush.
"Oh, sure, sure. It's just the bare minimum." Cherry smiled, while Tia was too embarrassed to look her in the eye.
After watching Cherry's antics for a while longer, Stanley could not help but interrupt her. "Don't you have any work to take care of?"
"Of course I do. What are you talking about? Do I look as though I've got nothing better to do?" Cherry rolled her eyes.
'Is it not obvious enough that I'm trying to be his wingwoman?' she thought.
Stanley understood what Cherry was trying to do, but his relationship with Tia was not as simple as Cherry imagined.
"Erm...you guys can continue chatting. I'll head out for a while," Tia said, wanting to step out because of how embarrassed she felt.
"Alright." Cherry smiled.
After Tia had left, Cherry turned to Stanley at once and said," So, shall we make a deal?"
Stanley was about to tell Cherry not to tease Tia or pass remarks about their relationship, but Cherry's act of blurting that question out to him caught him off guard right away." What deal?"
Then, Cherry inched closer to Stanley and said, "You're going to play the part of a fake boyfriend so that we can stop my family from pressuring me into marriage. In return, I'll prove to you that Tia cares about you."
She appeared as if she had just come up with a deal he could not refuse.
Stanley frowned. "Are you sure what you're doing won't cause Tia to give up instead?"
Tia had already stopped herself from dreaming about it. If Stanley were to have a girlfriend for real, she might even choose to ignore him and establish no contact completely.
"Of course not. Sometimes, a little jealousy would help offer clarity to a person's true feelings." Cherry tilted her head a little and looked at Stanley.
