A Bet - S01 E29

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 29

Next day

Khloe’s POV

I’m having some kind of feeling I don’t un-derstand. It’s like something bad is about to befall me but what could that be?

I’m in good terms with everyone. Everyone except….. Min Ju but does this mean she’s planning to harm me or what?

I shrugged the feeling off even though it wasn’t easy and I went to the bathroom.

I got into the bath tub and took my bath after which I wore my clothes and took a light breakfast before heading to school.

Just when I was about to get into my car, someone called my name.

“Have a nice day at school miss Khloe” Mary said and I turned back to stare at her for a while.

The feeling came again and it was stronger this time. Does she have any intention to harm me?

I know I’ve always been suspicious but then I haven’t wronged her in anyway. Fortunately, she’s not among the maids that cook my food so she can’t poison me.

Getting that thought off my mind, I got into my car and went to school.

Aubrey’s POV

I got to school a bit earlier than usual so I can read for few minutes. Khloe and Natalie were also just coming to school. Hmmph, perfect timing!

“Good morning guys” I greeted them cheerfully

“Morning Aubrey”

“I guess we all choose to come early to school” I said with a light chuckle

“That’s right!” Natalie nodded

“So……we should read right?” I asked them

“Sure. Our exams are fast approaching”

“Alright then”

We headed to the library but just when we were almost there, Liam double-crossed us

“Good morning guys” he greeted but only Natalie responded to his greeting

Both Natalie and Khloe turned to look at me like I’ve suddenly grown horns but I care less.

“I will be in the library” I said and made to leave but Liam stopped me

“Aubrey please hear me out” Liam pleaded

“Let’s go Natalie. Meet us when you’re done Aubrey” Khloe said and left with Natalie leaving me alone with Liam

“What do you want? I wouldn’t want your girlfriend to see us together” I blurted out without thinking

Samantha told me not to make it obvious I love him but that’s what I just did now. Shit!

“Are you jealous?” he asked sm-irking

“No, why will I be?” I said trying to cover up

“I just don’t want to be the cause of any break up between both of you”

“She’s not my girlfriend” he said and I felt really happy within be but I didn’t show it.

“Whatever! I just want to be alone for now. Besides, I was with my friends when you came so excuse me” I said and walked away

“How come you’re done with your lover so soon?” Khloe asked when I got to the library. Is that jealousy I sense in her voice? Whatever.. it’s better she confesses her feeling before it’s too late because if Liam asks me out, I will agree without thinking twice

“He’s not my lover Khloe, he’s just a friend” I answered her rolling my eyes

“Alright then. Let’s read”

We read for about an hour before we went for devotion after which we went to cla-ss for lectures.

Lunch time

I and my friends (Khloe and Natalie) kept our books and wanted to go for lunch when Liam suddenly showed up.

“Hi Aubrey. Can we have lunch together?” he asked

“No, I’m going with my friends” I answered smiling innocently

“Ohh … Next time then” he said dejectedly and left

Ahh! It’s really going to be ha-rd for me to listen to Samantha’s advice.

Min Ju’s POV

Mary called me when I was receiving lectures after lunch and I wonder what she has to say.

Since I sent her on that mission, she has never called me so I’m really surprised and anxious at the same time.

Has she carried out the job successfully or does she wants to quit?

I won’t be able to wait after school today because I have to call her back as soon as possible and I don’t want anyone to hear my conversation with her or suspect me.

I bade Min Seok farewell and got into my car heading home.

When I got home, I went into the bathroom to take a cool shower so as to be calm a little because I was really anxious.

I took in a de-eper breath and dialed her number.

“Hello Mary, I missed your call. Any update?” I rushed my words

“Yeah. I’ve finally gotten the pictures”

“Wow! That’s so great and kind of fast”

“I told you I won’t fail you”

“And I can see you kept to your promise. Let’s meet by 5pm tomorrow in my mansion. I will give you the remaining $500 as agreed and you will also go on a vacation”

“Sorry but there’s a change of plan. If you can give me $2500 and the three months vacation in South Korea instead of South America, then trust me, I will send the pictures to you right away”

“What?” I shrieked “that wasn’t our agreement”

“Yeah I know, but I decided to change it. Deal or no deal?”

“Are you for real?”

“Of course I am”

“Fine, I will think about it”

“Good and don’t try to play dirty with me. If you are thinking of sending someone else over to do the job, I will exp-ose the person so think twice before you take any action and don’t even think about trying to harm me. Have a nice rest” she said and hanged up

Ahhhhhhhhh! I’m so going to kill this girl.
