“Have as much fun as you’d like tonight. You can even ask Miss Jacobson out,” Jared said to his good friend, hoping that the latter would find true love soon.
Ethan curved his lips and crossed his arms as he said, “I never make the first move. Even if I were to go on a date, they would have to ask me out first.”
“Let me give you a piece of advice as someone with experience. If you insist on mmaintaining your pride, you won’t get the girl.” Jared glanced at the time, then got up and patted him. “I’ll be going back now.”

When she saw Josephine decisively getting into Ethan’s sports car before the two disappeared off the roads of the villa garden, Selena was so mad that she almost lost her mind. “You b*tch! I’ll make your life a living hell,” she muttered.
