Bailey raised an eyebrow as he observed the two frustrated individuals. He glanced up and noticed that Simone was engaging in a lively conversation with Zac.
He observed that the way she talked to this person was completely different from her interactions with them.
She radiated a pleasant aura.
He looked closer and realized that Zac was completely captivated by Simone.
The
way Zac gazed at Simone suggested he wanted to be by her side at all times.
There was a strong possibility that he had ulterior motives toward Simone.
After entering the private room, Zac excused himself to continue tidying up.
Andrew from outside appeared displeased.
Simone and Aaron entered the room without even acknowledging him.
She had grown distant toward him and remained silent.
However, Aaron’s behavior was going too far.
Jodie lowered her head to wipe the table, her eyes filled with resentment.
Earlier, she had asked Zac for help in lifting a table, but he ignored her.
Now that Simone had arrived, he immediately showered her with attention.
As the favored young master of the Turner Family, why did he go out of his way for Simone? What had she done to deserve it? It left a bitter taste in Jodie’s mouth.
She had been working in the restaurant for hours.
Her back was sore, and her waist ached.
Yet, Zac had previously made sarcastic remarks, claiming they weren’t doing a good job.
During their break, he even mocked them, accusing them of intentionally slacking off. He told them that if they didn’t want to work properly, they shouldn’t do it at all, as they didn’t deserve their wages.
He didn’t even consider that she would be exhausted from working non-stop.

Simone sat there, helping with makeup, simply moving her hands, yet Zac was considerate enough to let her rest.
Jodie was clearly much more tired than Simone. He was nothing but a hypocrite.
At the same time, although she didn’t want to admit it, she felt envy, jealousy, and hatred towards Simone. She hadn’t realized before that Simone could make someone like Zac, who had such a bad temper, lower himself and fawn over her.
Simone definitely had some tricks up her sleeve.
In the private room, Leon proactively handed the menu to Simone, saying, “Take a look and decide what you want to eat.”
Simone’s expression turned cold and indifferent, and she didn’t take the menu. “We’ll order when the others arrive.”
Then, she took out her phone and started chatting with Tina in the group chat.
Tina and the other three were on their way.
Instead of performing, the four of them had become extras.
There was a street in Cubilis specifically designated for filming traditional attire dramas.
Since they couldn’t find other jobs, they decided to become extras.
Each of them earned 45 dollars.
So, when Zac invited them for a meal in the group chat, they agreed and rushed over.
Leon felt a strong sense of bitterness in his heart when he saw Simone’s attitude.
Zac had asked her to order food, and she gladly agreed, but now that he was here, her attitude had changed.
“Well. Let’s wait for them,” she said with a forced smile.
Simone didn’t respond, clearly uninterested in talking to him.
Aaron saw that Leon had been defeated and wisely chose not to initiate any further
conversation.
After sending a message to Tina, Simone put her phone down. She turned to Bailey, who was sitting next to her, and asked, “Will you be staying at the inn with us tonight?”
Bailey nodded and replied, “Yes. The production team informed me that I’ll be joining all of
Chapter 286 If That’s The Case, It Would Be Terrifying
you for next week.”
Simone asked, “Since you’ve settled in Cubilis, you must be familiar with it, right?”
He replied. “Yes. I’ve been living here since I was a child, so I know it very well.”

She smiled and asked again, “Besides what is mentioned online, are there any interesting places or activities that tourists aren’t aware of?” She wanted to find an opportunity to interact with Bailey more, to observe and test him.
After thinking for a moment, he said, “There is a night market specifically for geomancy masters in the evening. If you’re interested, I can take you there.”
“But photography and filming aren’t allowed, so you won’t be able to livestream it.”
Simone had no prior knowledge of this. Since Bailey had brought it up, he must have already planned to take them there. She expressed her interest, saying, “Let’s go check it out after the livestream ends.”
He nodded and said, “Sure. I’ll take you there.”
Simone asked again, “Are there any money-making activities in Cubilis? Like competitions or something?”
Bailey, being familiar with the ancient city, answered without hesitation. “There is a polo competition the day after tomorrow, and even tourists can participate. The top three teams will be rewarded with silver coins by Cubilis. In addition to cash, gold and silver can also be used as currency in the shops of Cubilis.”
“You can use silver coins in all the shops, but if you find it troublesome, you can also exchange them for cash at the bank.”
He added, “Many tourists actually go to the bank to exchange cash for silver coins.”
“It is said that this makes them feel more immersed in Cubilis.”
I prefer using gold and silver as currency, and I’m more accustomed to it.”
Simone laughed and said, “I see.”
Do you know how to play polo? How about we form a team and give it a try?” Polo was an ancient sport where players on horseback used a stick to hit a ball.
She used to enjoy playing it in ancient times and was quite skilled.
Bailey replied, “I know how to play.”

“The competition here is in groups of six, but only if you truly know how to play. Otherwise, you won’t be allowed to participate.”
“After all, there can be dangers involved.
“If we can’t gather enough people, we can join other teams to play.”
“Of course. It would be best if we can form a complete team.” He looked at Aaron and Leon and asked. “Can you two play?”
Both of them shook their heads helplessly. “No. We can’t.”
They actually wanted to so they could play with Simone, but just then, Zac walked in with a smile and said, “I know how to play this. Count me in.”
He loved horseback riding and playing polo and would often engage in the
sport.
Apart from him, Keira, Jodie, and Andrew also walked in.
Keira smiled and said, “Although I don’t know how to play, I can support you as a cheerleader.”
Bailey smiled and replied, “That sounds good.” Then, he turned to Jodie and asked, “What about you two?”
