“Jayce! You’re finally here! Where are your friends?”
“I asked them to go and book a hotel first. After picking up Mrs. Leny, we could bring her to the hotel to freshen up and have lunch there. After that, we’ll go out to play!”
As Jayce was talking, he noticed Alice and Jacelyn standing behind Hayley.
“Hey, pretty! I bet you girls are Hayley’s friends, right? How are you guys going?” Jayce asked.
“We were just talking about it just now. Harper doesn’t have a car, so they were planning to pick up Hayley’s mum with an Uber.” May said.
“How about you girls follow me since my car can still fit in three more passengers. Care to join us, girls?” Jayce only asked because he found Alice and Jacelyn really pretty, and he wanted to please them.
However, before Hayley and the others could say anything, May immediately rejected his offer. “Excuse me, but where will my mum be sitting if the car is full? And don’t forget that my other two roommates will be joining us as well!” May was jealous when she saw how Jayce looked at Alice and the others.
“It’s fine, May. We’ll take the Uber!” Hayley did not want to cause any trouble.
“Alright, then! We’ll head over first, so it’ll be fine if you guys are slightly late. Then, we’ll all head to the hotel that Jayce has booked, and we can have lunch over there. Since there are quite a number of us, I say we should split the bill. Is that okay?” May said.
“Sure!” Hayley nodded.
May waited for her two roommates to arrive before they left.
Meanwhile, Gerald and the rest waited until their Uber arrived and then headed to the station.
