She thought Brian would kiss her on the lips, but… he only kissed her on the forehead. She had no idea whether she was glad or disappointed.
‘Gosh, why am I disappointed?’
Valda Theller scolded herself in her head.
“Huh? It’s your turn, Valda. Do you want to choose truth or dare?”
A voice rang.
Valda Theller froze. She just realized that she was drawn this time, and the one speaking earlier was Patrick.
“I… I’ll choose dare,” she said, afraid of being asked weird questions if she chose truth.
Patrick was the one to give the punishment task. He looked back and forth at Valda Theller and Brian before saying, “Why don’t you do five push-ups?”
‘Only five push-ups?’ Valda Theller was instantly relieved to hear that. However, what Patrick said next made her scalp go numb. “But Brian has to lie underneath you when you do the push-ups!” Patrick said with a playful smile.
Valda Theller widened her eyes. ‘Having Brian lie underneath with me on top? Won’t I… touch his body if I’m careless?’
‘This…’
“Brian, you won’t refuse to cooperate, will you?” Patrick asked.
Brian looked at the flustered Valda Theller, hesitated for a moment, and said, “Why don’t we change it to her lying underneath while I do the push-ups? We said we could take the punishment for others, didn’t we?”
“Okay,” Patrick said readily. They just wanted to see the scene anyway.
Valda Theller was dumbfounded. Although they had switched some things, they were still the same. She just went from being on top to being on the bottom.
“Just close your eyes. It’ll be quick,” said Brian.
“Okay,” replied Valda Theller. ‘Yeah, it’s just five push-ups. I’ll close my eyes and it’ll soon be over.’
Therefore, she lay on the floor while Brian rested his palms on both sides of her shoulders. They were already so close before doing the push-ups. Now, their faces would touch at any time, when he lowered his body later.
It was a huge test! Valda Theller’s heart was now beating faster than when Brian kissed her before this!
“Here we go. Close your eyes.” His voice rang softly in her ear.
Valda Theller quickly closed her eyes. She heard the people around them shouting, “One… Two…”
As she listened to the countdown, she could feel Brian’s face approaching even with her eyes closed.
Phoebe Cross looked at the scene in front of her with envy. “Brian never did this to his previous girlfriends! He would never have done so! Does Brian really love Valda Theller that much?’
Just as the crowd was about to shout ‘five’, the private room door was suddenly pushed open. Then there was the sound of arguing.
“Miss Mack, this private room doesn’t allow outsiders in. You can’t go in.”
“Outsiders? Am I an outsider? I’m here to see Patrick!”
‘This voice…’ Shocked, Valda Theller leaned her body forward to look at where the sound was coming from. However, Brian happened to lower his body at this moment, hence her lips instantly brushed across his.
Valda Theller froze. It was a brief kiss, but it happened.
‘I just kissed… him. We didn’t kiss in the game, but it happened in such a situation!’
However, Queenie Mack’s voice then pulled her back from her trance.
“Patrick, will you help me? You’re the only one who can help me now!” Queenie Mack threw herself into Patrick’s arms, looking pitiful.
“Mr. Weiss, this…” The staff member who had stopped Queenie Mack now looked at Patrick for instructions.
“Go out first,” Patrick said to the club’s staff member.
They then left the private room. Queenie Mack was delighted. ‘Since Patrick let me stay, it means he’ll help me!’
“Queenie Mack, what do you want me to help you with?” Patrick asked lazily.
“Well… I want to speak to you alone,” said Queenie Mack. After all, it was not a glorious thing.
Especially since all his friends were here. It would be humiliating for her to say it here.
“There’s no need for that. Just say it here,” said Patrick.
Queenie Mack clenched her teeth and could only say as concisely as possible, “I… I seem to have offended the Hart family. Will you please plead with the Hart family for me?”
“Oh? Did you offend the Hart family?” Patrick smiled playfully before turning to Brian and asked, “Brian, how did this woman offend you?”
Queenie Mack was shocked. She immediately looked in the direction Patrick spoke to but saw Valda Theller being pulled up from the floor by Brian.
“Valda Theller, what are you doing here?” Queenie Mack asked in shock.
“Why can’t my girlfriend be here?” Brian asked coldly.
“She… She’s your girlfriend?” Queenie Mack’s expression changed again. She recognized the man before her as the crown. prince of the entertainment industry, Brian.
‘But… Valda Theller is Brian’s girlfriend? How is that possible?
They look like people who would never have anything to do with each other!’
However, Valda Theller was now standing beside Brian!
Queenie Mack suddenly understood why the lawyer told her that she had offended the Hart family and why Hart Group’s executive assistant came to the set with backup to save Valda Theller.
It was all because Valda Theller was Brian’s girlfriend.
Queenie Mack paled as she trembled all over. Who would have thought that she would hit a snag when she was wilfully trying to teach a comic artist she disliked a lesson?
“Valda…” Queenie Mack reluctantly forced a timid yet sincere expression. “I did some bad things to you and gave you unpleasant memories, but I regret everything now. I’ve been wanting to apologize to you. I didn’t expect to meet you here. I… I’II solemnly apologize to you right now. Forgive me. I’ll bear all your losses. Tell me how much you need for the medical fees, lost labor costs, and the like. I’ll compensate you right away.”
Queenie Mack said as she pretended to look tearful. She bowed and apologized to Valda Theller. The way she looked would probably make others think she was the one who was wronged.
Normally, the way she looked might have made heirs pity her, but =none of them said anything today.
They simply watched.
Valda Theller frowned in disgust. She was not a fool. She could naturally see that Queenie Mack did not want to apologize to her. Queenie Mack would never have given in if the person standing next to her was not Brian.
“You don’t have to apologize to me. Let the law decide what you’re responsible for and the sentence you’ll receive,” Valda Theller said coldly.
Queenie Mack stiffened. Her hands dangling beside her clenched her clothes tightly. Her resentment for Valda Theller grew deeper, but she still put on a pitiful expression. “No, I can’t go to jail. My life will be ruined if I go to jail. Valda, forgive me. Please forgive me!”
Queenie Mack said and stretched out her hand to catch Valda Theller’s arm, but Brian pulled Valda Theller aside, making Queenie Mack’s hand miss.
Valda Theller looked at Queenie Mack in silence. She had no intention to say that she forgave her.
Queenie Mack clenched her teeth before saying to Brian, “Mr. Hart, I apologize from the bottom of my heart. Please let me off this time. Aren’t you friends with Patrick? Be the bigger person for Patrick’ssake. Don’t go after a woman like me.”
Queenie Mack turned to look at Patrick as she spoke, “Patrick, say something!”
Patrick said as if it had nothing to with him, “Since you did something wrong, the court will decide your sentence accordingly. Isn’t it a given?”
“Patrick?” Queenie Mack could not believe her ears. She did not expect him to say that. “But… But I’m your girlfriend. Are you going to let me suffer?”
“Girlfriend?” Patrick suddenly sneered. “I don’t think I ever said we were a couple, right? When did you hear me introducing you to my friends as my girlfriend?”
Queenie Mack was speechless. ‘Indeed, he never said so.’
She thought she was his girlfriend because she was the only woman with him during this time.
Therefore, she increasingly thought she mattered to him. If she had a good grip on him, it would not be difficult for her to marry into an affluent family. “I thought we were supposed to be on the same page, but you seem to have misunderstood something,” Patrick added.
