"So, don't worry. If anything comes out of that gate and it's too much for you guys to handle," Alice beat her chest with her right hand and her lips curved up in a confident and wide smirk. "I'll take care of it just fine. So, count on me."
*Wow, look at you making the hero speech.* Leo said with slanted eyes and an irk formed on her forehead.
'Shut it!'
Devon and Mark looked at her for a while, shocked or surprised, any word that could express their expressions from being stunned by her words. She was such a charmer, did she know that?
"Why aren't you saying anything?" Alice suddenly asked, folding her arms. "Do you know how hard it was to say that? No, did I just make a fool of myself?"
They laughed and Mark raised his hand to pat her head and said,
"You were just too stunning." He smiled and Alice's eyes grew. A thud in her heart made her realize the kind of reality she was in.
