"What about the deal?" Looking at the excited Claudia, Ernest was curious about her background, wondering how she could still be in high spirits after losing. She even admitted her defeat without hesitation. It was all out of his expectations.
She nodded. "It's still valid, of course. I'm someone of my word."
As she spoke, she gestured toward the apartment, indicating for them to follow her.
Then, she walked straight toward the apartment.
At the same time, Gary and Kendrix were glaring at each other. Both of them looked at Claudia, then at Ernest and Sebastian.
Kendrix said unhappily, "Where are you going?"
Claudia replied impatiently, "Washroom."
"Then why ask Ernest and Sebastian to go with you?" he asked.
"They wanted to use the washroom too," she answered as she shot a sidelong glance at Ernest and Sebastion, urging them to play along.
Neither of them spoke nor looked at Kendrix.
Kendrix frowned.
Claudia paid no attention to Kendrix. She ignored him and walked away.
Ernest and Sebastian ignored Kendrix and followed behind her as if they were going to use the washroom.
The three of them left just like that.
A smug smile appeared on Gary's face. He looked at Kendrix and pointed in the direction where the other three had gone. "Did you see that? She doesn't look like she's on your side."
Kendrix's face darkened.
On the contrary, the smile on Gary's scarred face widened.
It was apparent that Kendrix was upset. He looked at Gary frostily.
Upon seeing Kendrix's expression, Gary chuckled. "Even if you're angry, it won't help. If I'm not mistaken, your fake girlfriend should have already revealed your secret."
Kendrix was not angry at Gary's words. Instead, he smirked in response.
"Is this fun for you?"
"Yes, it is. Especially after breaking into a sweat from that fight," Gary said.
Without saying a word, Kendrix left.
"What a coward. How could you leave before anything is resolved?" Gary muttered.
However, Kendrix heard him and stopped in his tracks. He turned to look at Gary closely for some time before saying, "You can't even keep your girlfriend, so you have no right to judge me."
Gary was stunned, and his smug smile froze on his face.
His face fell when Kendrix brought up Celeste. His heart was filled with pain and regret. It suddenly felt difficult to breathe as if someone had sucked all the air around him.
