Soon, Mimi and Emerson caught everyone else's attention and the other girls began to gather around as they finished their makeup.ย
"President Wu, you no girlfriend?" Chu asked cheekily with her broken English.
Emerson looked at the young woman curiously. How did she know?
Understanding what Emerson was thinking, Mimi turned to Emerson and explained, "Avaleigh lost a bet earlier and she was told to ask you if you were single. I hope you don't mind."
Emerson smiled awkwardly and shook his head as he glanced at Avaleigh. "A bet?" he whispered to himself. The woman still had her eyes closed and appeared as though she was ignoring him.
All of a sudden, Emerson began to wonder...was she ignoring him? Or did she just not care?
He originally thought she asked him about his relationship status because she was developing feelings for him, but it seemed like that was not the case now - she simply asked him because she had lost a bet.ย
