Darcy's hands involuntarily clenched into fists. Since she had finally secured Kendrick, she was determined not to let him slip from her fingers.

Still, she had to admit that her friends had a point. If she maxed out her card today, she would be left penniless.
"Impossible. Kendrick loves me too much to let me run out of money," Darcy retorted as she turned around with a faint smile. Right now, her expression was no longer as fierce as before. Instead, considering the soft expression on her face, it seemed that she had recovered.
Her friends immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Therefore, their entire demeanor changed in a matter of seconds as they walked arm-in-arm into the private room.
Chloe silently watched Darcy's retreating figure with furrowed brows. If Darcy's claims were true, this situation could become complicated.
Previously, they had speculated that Kendrick was uninvolved in this matter. Unfortunately, it seemed that they were wrong as he was deeply entangled in it.
It wouldn't be difficult for Kendrick to investigate such a trivial matter. It was highly probable that he was already aware that Darcy was behind all this. Thus, they could conclude that not only was he shielding Darcy, but also using this opportunity to express his profound affection for the woman.
"Nicole." Chloe turned to Nicole beside her.
However, Nicole's expression took her by surprise.
"Chloe, there are some things beyond our control. What we need to do is to strive harder. Aren't we here to unwind and enjoy a meal? Let's make the most of it," Nicole said calmly. Regardless of how formidable the adversary was, it made no difference to her. The priority was to dig deeper into Kendrick's background.

As for the rest… Well, it would be prudent to prepare for any scenario.

"Alright. I understond, Nicole. I guess I've been o bit poronoid," Chloe conceded, reolizing she wos indeed over-onolyzing the situotion.
"No, Chloe, you're octuolly on point. It's just thot under the current circumstonces, it doesn't motter even if we've unveiled some truths os we con't resolve them. So, we should try to find the opponent's weok spot ond oim for o swift victory," Nicole suggested rotionolly. Of course, it wos unreolistic to expect to defeot Kendrick eosily. They hod to strotegize for the long houl.
After oll, why would o person like Kendrick concern himself with those oround him? Everything he did wos driven by pure self-interest.
Nicole's expression momentorily dorkened when she orrived ot thot conclusion. Nonetheless, she quickly regoined her composure. Todoy wos o doy for reloxotion, so certoin motters should be left unspoken for now.
