Hillary shot back, “What nonsense are you spewing? Isn’t Wendy your girlfriend?”
“When did I ever say that she’s my girlfriend?” Skylar grinned mischievously.
Hillary furrowed her brow in response. “I won’t believe it unless you show me your chat log with
her.”
Against expectations, Skylar actually handed his phone to Hillary, who quickly pulled up Wendy’s chat. However, she soon realized that Wendy initiated the conversation with him most of the time, while Skylar hardly ever replied.
Hillary ended up empty–handed and could only hand Skylar his phone back. “If she’s not your girlfriend, why didn’t you clarify your relationship with her?”
“It’s too troublesome. Why should I explain anything, anyway?” Skylar shrugged nonchalantly.
Hillary was rendered speechless. She marveled at how Skylar was so unpredictable.
Soon after, Hillary reshuffled the deck and dealt the cards once more. This time, Nancy drew the
Joker. Holding it up, she scanned the group and wondered what to do.
Hillary suggested, “Looks like you can’t decide. Why don’t we do a dare? There are plenty of cards
here. You can draw one at random.”
The bar had prepared everything thoroughly. Hillary handed a stack of cards to Nancy.
After Nancy picked one, she unfolded it and blinked in surprise. “It’s a game where one passes a piece of tissue to another, using only our mouths.”
Hillary replied, “You can choose who should start.”
Nancy looked toward Skylar. “Why don’t we start with Mr. Fuller first?”
Skylar glanced at Hillary before picking up a tissue. In that moment, he looked more charming
than usual.
When his handsome face leaned toward hers, she pressed her lips before moving in to catch the
tissue.
As their faces drew close, their breaths mingled with each other. Suddenly, Hillary jerked back, and the tissue tore apart.
Skylar looked at Hillary with faint mockery.
“I lost Hillary bit her lower lip. “I’ll drink up. Nancy, take another tissue and start with Mr. Fuller.”
Downing her first shot glass, Hillary handed Nancy a tissue. The latter bit one end and looked toward Gideon. At that moment, Gideon was sitting tall and looking at her with a casual smile.
Nancy felt her cheeks burn For a moment, she regretted choosing a dare. This was a bit too intimate for her liking

After drawing a deep breath, Nancy braced herself and leaned forward. Their gazes locked as Gideon got closer, and Nancy could feel a dominant energy coming from him.
When Gideon lightly bit the tissue from his end, his heated breath brushed against her lips. Immediately, Nancy let go and straightened up.
Nancy secretly thanked the bar for the dim lighting. Otherwise, everybody would be able to see
her flushed cheeks.
“Let’s continue!” Hillary dealt the cards again. This time, Skylar drew the Joker.
Glancing around the room, Skylar grinned deviously. “If the person you like is within these four walls, take a shot.”
The words instantly drew a hush over the room.
Hillary crossed her arms in annoyance. “There’s no way-
Before she could even finish, Gideon took his glass and downed the alcohol inside in one shot.
The air instantly grew heavier. Hillary glanced at Gideon before looking at Nancy, who was just as
startled.
There was one person in mind when Hillary attempted to guess who Gideon liked. She turned
toward Nancy, subconsciously muttering, “Holy-”
“I’ll go next,” Gideon cut her off, shuffling the cards before dealing them out.
When he flipped over his own card, it was the Joker. For some reason, Skylar suddenly felt a twinge of unease.
“Drink as many glasses as the number of relationships you’ve had,” Gideon announced.
Hillary cheered. “Nice going, Mr. Fuller!”
After that, Hillary shot a glance at Skylar, whom she thought would be drowning in drinks by now. However, Skylar merely stared at his glass and didn’t take a single sip.
