Zack was determined to play a prank on the two snobbish rich kids, Ace and Ethan.
Therefore, when he distributed the number plates earlier, he deliberately assigned number 10 to Ethan.
Think about it. Two young masters from the Great Eight Houses of Beach City kissing each other for 30 seconds. What an exciting sight that would be. It would beco a classic that would leave its mark in history.
"Who’s number 10? Please stand up!"
Zack looked at the group and asked even though he already knew the answer.
Ethan had a short temper. He imdiately stood up and pointed a finger at Zack. "Who do you think you are? How dare you embarrass my bro? Do you wanna die?"
Zack’s expression was calm. He completely disregarded the threat.
He had been involved in the legal industry for many years and had seen people from all walks of life. Even people more powerful than Ethan had to show him respect.
"If you’re willing to bet, you must be willing to pay your wager too. Since you two decided to co here to play the ga with us, you must respect the rules of the ga."
After he said that, Zack took out his phone, brought up the stopwatch, and gestured at them, "Hurry up, you two. It’s no big deal. Two beautiful young n kissing each other makes for a beautiful image."
The crowd looked at them expectantly.
The two n were under so serious pressure to kiss each other.
Ethan cleared his throat and said haughtily, "Why are you all looking at ? I’m not Number 10."
Then, he turned to Ace with a sympathetic look and said, "Bro, why don’t you take your chances. All the girls here don’t look too bad. It’s not like you’ll lose anything if you kiss one for 30 seconds. If you get unlucky and Number 10 turns out to be a guy, I’ll flip the table for you!"
"Wait, you’re not Number 10?"
Zack’s brows furrowed as he asked, "What number are you?"
"Take a good hard look. I’m Number 9!"
Ethan proudly threw his number plate onto the table.
It really was Number 9!
Zack’s jaw dropped in shock. He realized that he had made a mistake. He must have seen the number plate upside down and mistook the number 9 for the number 10.
But it’s gotten to a point where he could not back down anymore. He could only keep going." Who’s Number 10? Hurry up and step out.’
In any case, it should still be quite fun to see the iceberg-like CEO kiss soone.
"It’s not !"
"Not either!"
Everyone showed their number plates – except for Joanna, who sat still with an awkward expression and a slight blush.
The answer was obvious.
Ethan heaved a sigh of relief. "You got lucky, bro. It’s just your wife. Go ahead and kiss her."
Ace’s gaze fell on Joanna. The emotion in his eyes was unclear. In a cold voice, he said, "Since I agreed to play, I’ll accept the punishnt."
From what he rembered, her lips were moderately thick and were as soft as jelly. After having a bit of a taste the last ti, he had thought about them a lot.
He recently discovered that, although he hated intimate contact with won, he did not dislike having intimate contact with her. In fact, he looked forward to becoming more intimate with her...
Everyone looked at Joanna.
Their new boss and their old boss had been married for many years, so a kiss should be sothing completely normal between them, right?
Joanna took a deep breath and finally looked up. However, the person she looked at was Zack. She said, "I think this punishnt is so boring."
In other words, she was saying that kissing Ace was boring.
Wasn’t that, like... publicly humiliating him?
Zack notiost Joanna’s embarrassnt and wanted to help her out.
"Yeah, I think this punishnt is boring too. I wouldn’t want to offend His Royal Majesty Mr. Moran, so I decided to forfeit my punishnt right."
Many eyes were rolled in the crowd.
Zack’s double standard was too obvious. He was singing a completely different tune a mont ago. His preference for the new boss was way too obvious!
Ace’s expression did not change much, but his perfect, cold face was unreadable under the flickering light.
He stared at the woman next to him with a cold gaze and suddenly smirked. "I underestimated your charisma. You sure know how to win people over."
Joanna simply sat there. She did not know how to respond.
"Why is this guy being so sarcastic?"
She just helped him evade punishnt. Was he not supposed to thank her? Why did he look so unhappy with her?
’n are so unreasonable!’
The ga continued. This ti, the arrow pointed at Ethan.
"Hahaha!"
Ethan laughed out loud. He felt like he was about to get revenge,
He wanted to teach Zack a lesson.
The guy was too arrogant. He was also being really intimate with soone else’s wife. This made Ethan dislike him a lot.
However, when he thought of how Joanna publicly embarrassed Ace just now, he suddenly really wanted to know how Joanna truly felt about Ace.
If it was love, why was she unwilling to kiss a man she loved?
Navier turned towards Joanna and asked her directly, "I want to know if you love your husband and if your first night was with your husband?"
Another embarrassing question, but it was actually not that hard to answer.
Ace stared at Joanna, the emotion in his eyes unclear. He was waiting for her answer.
Joanna looked straight at him and said, "I refuse to answer that."
Everyone looked disappointed.
Looks like the new boss and the old boss were very alike. They had the sa reaction even when playing a ga.
"Sotis, not answering is an answer in itself. I think a certain soone should get it now."
Ethan glanced at Ace. He was feeling pity for his good friend.
See? This is the kind of woman Ace ended up with after letting his first love go.
What a sha!
Joanna could not be bothered explaining. She told the righteously indignant Ethan, "So? What’s my punishnt?"
Ethan was montarily stunned.
He had not really thought about how to punish her.
Because he felt that, although his question pried into personal matters, it was not difficult to answer.
If Joanna liked Ace even a little, or if she had given her virginity to Ace, she simply had to tacitly admit it.
But she would rather accept punishnt than do that...
Sigh. Once again, Ethan quietly took pity on his good friend Ace.
Right then, the performance on stage ended.
Ethan said, out of a lack of better option, "Maybe you can go on stage and sing a song for us or sothing"
He thought that Joanna was already good at studying and an expert gar. Surely she must be terrible at singing. Let her make a fool of herself on stage. Consider it a small revenge for Ace.
Joanna was not shy at all. She smoothened her long hair and confidently stepped onto the stage.
She sat down on the tall chair and hugged the acoustic guitar, her long fingers flicking the strings.
With just two notes, she grabbed the attention of all the guests in the bar.
">> A long, long ti ago, you’re mine, and I’m yours. A long, long ti ago, you left and flew far away... ♪♪"
Joanna’s voice flowed like water, smooth and pleasant to the ear, filling up the air in the bar.
Her voice carried a tinge of sadness, as if there were a lot of stories behind it...
Many people in the bar imrsed themselves in her song. So could not help but shed tears.
Among them was Ethan.
He wiped away his tears and said indignantly, "Bro, why didn’t you tell your wife could sing so beautifully? She’s... she’s getting all the attention. It’s so beautiful!"
"This is the first ti I’ve heard her sing myself."
Ace’s eyes had never left Joanna.
The light shone on the woman, making her look dazzling and out of his reach.
anwhile, Christopher was looking at Joanna from the second floor too. His gaze beca deeper.
No wonder Ace was able to let go of his past so easily!
After the song, Joanna gracefully stepped down from the stage. Without even looking at Ace, she said to the others, "Alright, punishnt served. I have to go. You guys can continue without ."
"If the boss is leaving, why would we stay?"
The lawyers stood up one after another and followed after her wholeheartedly.
In the booth, Ace and Ethan sat surrounded by empty seats. It was a bit awkward.
Ace continued to sit there gracefully without a word, as if he was still imrsed in Joanna’s song.
After a long ti, he said faintly, "Let’s go."
"Wait, that’s it?"
Ethan said, "Bro, what about my request? Hurry up and introduce to the lawyer called Zack!"
"What?!"
Ethan felt like crying. He should just break his legs himself instead of waiting for his father to do it.
