The place was dead silent.
Jarvis stared at the women's clothing and wig in utter shock, dumbfounded.
Simon's face turned pale as well. He took a step back, waving his hands frantically and replying "No, no, I'm not wearing that..."
Eileen, holding up the clothing, pushed it towards them, trying to coax them into it. "It's okay, it won't get you addicted," she reassured.
Jarvis and Simon were speechless.
Did she think that was what they worried about?
Jarvis felt a headache coming on. He pressed his temples, speaking helplessly, "Ms. Lopez, I really can't do this..."
Eileen frowned, "But it's the only way you guys can get into the girls' dorm."
Still, Jarvis and Simon refused.
They were men, after all.
At that moment, Phyllis stepped over to Eileen, whispering in her ear, "They're public figures with lots of fans. They can't ruin their image by dressing in drag!"
Eileen pursed her lips, glancing from Jarvis to Simon, a look of deep disappointment in her eyes. She mumbled, "But I really thought it was a good idea..."
Simon looked at Eileen, who was pitiful like an abandoned puppy.
His heart softened. Screw being a man and all that male pride!
He gritted his teeth and firmly declared, "Fine, I'll do it!"
At his words, all eyes turned to him.
Jarvis was at a loss for words. "Bartley, don't be rash."
But Simon, wanting to support his Auntie Eileen, didn't care anymore.
He grabbed the outfit and took Jarvis by the arm, saying, "Let's go, Mr. Dave!"
Jarvis stepped back, rejecting him, "I...I can't do this..."
Simon moved forward, trying to grab and carry Jarvis into the bathroom.
He had seen Auntie Eileen do it so easily before.
But he couldn't lift Jarvis at all!
As soon as Simon wrapped his arms around Jarvis's waist, Jarvis grabbed his wrist and pushed him back, pinning him down instead.
Jarvis sighed helplessly, "Bartley, really, stop messing around."
Simon's hands were caught, and feeling a bit embarrassed, he turned for help, "Ms. Lopez, help!"
"Oh, okay." Eileen immediately stepped forward.
But seeing the two tangled up, she was a bit unsure, hesitating, "What should I do? I don't want to hurt you guys."
Simon and Jarvis were speechless.
In the end, Jarvis had no choice but to let Simon go, hanging his head in thought.
Eileen and Simon, seeing him wavering, stared at him intently.
After a while, Jarvis lifted his head, looking at the pair of pitiful eyes on the other side.
He ran a hand through his hair, finally sighing and bracing himself, "Fine, I'll do it for you guys. It will be my first time..."
His words sounded a bit strange.
But he agreed!
"Wow!" Phyllis and Jaqueline exclaimed simultaneously.
The comments section was also exploding with surprise!
Hedy, however, kept her head down, standing in the corner, appearing to be holding a small red object.
The two boys went into the bathroom to change.
The four girls waited outside.
About twenty minutes passed, but they still hadn't come out. Eileen was getting anxious and called out, "Are you guys done?"
Why was it taking so long for just two outfits?
There was no answer from inside, but she could vaguely hear the two men's conversation.
"Bartley, you're crooked here."
"I know, but I don't know how to wear a bra. How do you loosen this thing? I can't pull it down."
"You're too tense, relax a bit."
"Phew... Is this okay?"
"I meant you buttoned it too tightly, loosen it by one. Never mind, I'll help you redo it. Take off your clothes."
