On the car.
Without any prior agreement, both Mia and Leo clapped in unison for Jade who was sitting at the back.
Mia asked, "Jade, are you a silver-tongued devil or what?"
With an air of arrogance, Jade fluffed her bangs and smirked. "Hmph, I already planned to expose that bastard when I heard about it from Chad last night. I'd be a sinner if I helped him cover up such shocking news. And that ungrateful jerk actually had the guts to ask me out today. Like I, Jade, would ever fall for such a bad guy."
Leo curiously asked, “Jade, how did you know about the hourly hotel room and his... short performance?”
"My brother let it slip when he was cussing him out yesterday, and I overheard it," Jade confessed, looking at her friends innocently.
Last night, in Jade's room.
She was sitting cross-legged on the bed, a pillow on her lap, arms resting on the pillow, hands propping up her cheeks, listening to her brother's rant.
Suddenly, Chad revealed that Eaton didn't last long in the hourly hotel room. Jade's eyes lit up. She asked curiously, "Chad, are you saying he's bad in bed?"
Chad lightly tapped Jade's forehead, admonishing her, "What on earth is in that head of yours?"
After that, Jade was relentless, following Chad from her room to his, sitting on his bed, pestering him nonstop.
With curious eyes, she asked, "Chad, if he's that bad, what's so attractive about him?"
At that moment, Chad wished he could smack her out of the room.
He was her brother, not her boyfriend! How could he answer that!
So, Chad wrapped Jade in a blanket and threw her back into her room.
"Chad~"
Chad shut his bedroom door and locked it, ignoring her.
...
On the way to Gold Level, Mia and Leo got a full account of Jade's story.
After hearing it, Mia thought Jade was quite a character.
Jade started pestering Leo again, "Leo, how long is normal for you guys? Is what they write in novels true, that you can stay in all day?"
Leo, exasperated, replied, "I'm still single, how would I know!"
Then, both of them turned towards the married one — Mia.
"Why are you looking at me?" Mia stuttered, caught off guard. "Just because I'm married doesn't mean I know everything."
"You could ask your husband," Jade suggested mischievously.
Leo asked Mia, "Do you remember what I told you the day we first met at my house?"
Mia nodded, she remembered it very clearly. She had even felt fortunate about it at times.
However, after a chance contact with her husband, where her hand accidentally brushed against that part of him, she started to doubt Leo's words.
"What are you two whispering about? Spill the beans," Jade, the gossip queen, chimed in.
Leo was about to speak when Mia hurriedly cut him off, "What happens with my husband is for me to discuss, none of you are allowed in on this."
