It didn't come as a surprise to Sabella to see Alex staring daggers at Camille who was smiling at him. She noted Camille and Daisy were engaged in a conversation and Camille included Alex in it.
You know, you could pretend to get along with him. She sat close enough for only him to hear her. Are you meaning to tell me I should pretend to be friendly with him when I don't? Yes, just for the sake of it, they seem to have more information on where we are about. I don't see you drilling holes at Daisy like you do him.
Don't tell me the almighty Alex Vic is sulking because a random guy blew him over an art he made in secret she wiggled her brows at him. Frowning, do you think I am narrow-minded? I don't care about the art. I was meaning to give that to you and then make a new one for me. I am attracted to you he says in a way of explanation.
As for Daisy, she looks like someone who can't stand on her own so I naturally don't mind her. Amused at his confession and bluntness. No man has ever spoken so straightforwardly with her before.
I was just saying, what are you two whispering about Daisy said. I have never been to Jraif not alone in the world of Mars. Daisy snotted. The world of Mars isn't a town or village it is just a very huge building that has so many people playing video games. Oh! I don't know how to play video games but I can film the activity and post it on my blog.
You have a blog, Alex turned to her surprised. Yes, I do. "Message to the Retro's." The one who tells stories of the Gen Z's is you. This is surprising. Bemused Sabella wondered why he exclaimed loudly. I will explain later, he said when she looked at him confused.
Well, I don't think you will be accepted in it, Daisy cuts in. Why not Sabella asked. You need to pair up if you want in. If not you will be sent home sooner Camille said cutting Daisy out. You must go in as a pair, it's a mating game you know, two pairs against one another.
The game sounded familiar to him but he shrugged it off. Can you tell us more about the game? The first stage is the pairing up, Camille explained happily when Alex asked. You and your pair will be given a room in the hotel close by and you will pay as a pair too. Will you be able to afford the pay he said sizing them up, it includes your accommodation, food and transportation fee. How much is this fee? Sabella asked. About five hundred grand.
Alex smiled at Sabella, I guess you are up for that. Sabella felt that slow roll in the pitch of her stomach. We split the bills. You have such a beautiful smile Camille said to him making Sabella snort. Please share my room with me, I am alone in it.
No thanks, Alex waved his hand in front of him. Camille, he turned to him, I don't like you and I can't pretend otherwise. So, I would like it if you spoke or smile with me less. Your smile is creepy.
Sabella felt the air knocked out of her, does he ever mince his word? Camille, why are you not paired? she asked trying to dissolve the tense atmosphere. I registered as a staff member. As a developer, I am in charge of making sure no error occurs in the system.
He turned to Alex and smiled at him warmly. I like you a lot and your response just caps it. I know you are straight and that doesn't stop me from liking you less. I will try to tone my chattiness with you.
Alex nodded at him without a response. How do we split the money, he asked her. Let's use my card she said trying to keep her cool. Okay then. I will be taking a nap.
