Until 6 p.m., Flossie Wright, who was still asleep, suddenly opened her eyes when Becca Reyes sneaked within two inches of her bed.
"What are you doing?"
Flossie, caught off guard and opening her eyes, fleetingly revealed a sharp gaze that made people’s scalp tingle. Her particularly cold voice slid across Becca’s face, causing her to stop abruptly.
Blinking, Becca’s gaze instinctively lingered on Flossie. But on closer inspection, all signs of intimidation and chill seemed to vanish instantly. She stared in surprise at Flossie, who still lay on the top bunk, and saw nothing in her eyes but languor and indifference.
It was as if what she had witnessed earlier was merely an illusion.
Yet the cold aura lingered in her heart, resilient against her efforts to shake it off.
"It’s time for dinner." Becca discreetly retreated a few steps, maintaining some distance from Flossie.
Ever since she saw Flossie choking Neal Thompson, Becca dared not follow in Neal’s footsteps. Standing near Flossie’s bed always gave her the creeps, fearing that she might reach out and choke her without a proper burial place available.
Just now, her courage had gotten the better of her, temporarily forgetting her fear of Flossie. Now she realized she needed to keep her distance.
Even Flossie, who was slowly regaining consciousness, understood what Becca was thinking by looking at her nonchalant demeanor. Lifting her eyes lazily, Flossie didn’t pursue the matter. She dressed and got out of bed with such speed that Becca couldn’t help but stare, feeling that Flossie was becoming increasingly agile.
"Where are you going?"
Just as Flossie stepped out of the door, she noticed Becca walking in a different direction. Instinctively stopping in her tracks, she called out to Becca with some vigilance.
"This... when she noticed Flossie wasn’t following, Becca muttered in frustration before she turned her head and said truthfully, "Your friend Janice Wood is in a bit of trouble, want to check on her?"
Flossie eyed Becca skeptically. The woman’s eyes gleamed with satisfaction and amusement. It felt as if something incredible was about to happen, which made Flossie enlighten to some extent.
"Did she agree to the bet?" Flossie raised an eyebrow and asked.
Janice Wood had little to do with Becca. The most Flossie could think of was the bet with Janice today. Presumably, Becca had persuaded Janice in a different way.
However, she didn’t believe that Becca’s conditions were too extreme.
"I told her, if I win you, she should do me a favor, and she agreed." Becca gave her a look, "My beauty, you’ve squandered her trust in you."
Flossie’s eyes hardened.
As expected.
No wonder Becca was so gleeful when she reached the endpoint in advance.
"I’m not going."
Flexing her wrist, Flossie dismissed Becca’s mood, declared this and headed towards the cafeteria.
"Hey, hey, hey," seeing that Flossie was genuinely leaving, Becca raised her hand to block her path, "She asked Winsley Scott out... are you sure you won’t go?"
Even Becca had noticed Winsley Scott’s little scheme, Flossie couldn’t possibly not have.
Becca wasn’t really that much into Gossip, but she found Janice amusing. Combined with her low emotional quotient, she wanted to help her. At least suggest to Winsley to courageously pursue Janice, thereby helping them form a good relationship. Besides, she herself was the kind of person who had unrequited feelings. After recognizing Winsley’s intentions, she had been mentally broken for the pair.
