Chapter 53 Flirting
Ebony heard his words, keeping silent for a while.
After looking at Lloyd and then looking at the 2,500 yen for a while, she finally took back her hand, putting all the money together in her bag, and said, "We can keep it for the next task."
Lloyd agreed.
"Then we go back?" said Ebony.
"Well," Lloyd said lightly.
The bus stop was not far away.
Next to the bus station, there was a small cart selling Cloabia pie.
When the two of them passed by the stroller, Ebony suddenly felt that Lloyd didn't follow her.
She looked back and saw Lloyd standing beside the cart, watching the vendor mix the dough for the pies.
Ebony, "..."
Lloyd glanced down at her little hand holding him, and looked up again, pursing his thin lips slightly. He thought about it for a while, and asked in the end, "If there is money left, then, can you give me some pocket money?"
Ebony, "..."
In the end, Ebony bought one for Lloyd, which cost one hundred and fifty yen.
Lloyd got the warm paper bag, tore a little piece of pie, put it in his mouth, and chewed it. Then he handed the pie to Ebony. Ebony shook her head and said, "I don't eat it." Then, she walked into the platform.
They waited for a long time but the bus didn't come.
Five minutes later, Ebony tasted the pie, nodded, and said, "It tastes good." Then she stood on tiptoe, tore a piece from the paper bag in Lloyd's hand, and put it in her mouth.
Lloyd was not eating anymore, but he took the remaining half of the pie and stretched out his hand from time to time to make it easier for Ebony to eat.
--[…]
--[? ? ?]
--[? ? I am so confused...]
--[The interaction between these two is too...]
--[They are eating a piece of the pie together?]
--[Hey hey hey, what are you thinking? No, no, no, you don't think they are flirting, do you? These two look like buddies!]
--[? ? ? buddy?]
--[Yep, Ebony is a "man"!]
--[Pfft, as Lloyd's fan, I was a little angry. But after reading the previous words, I was speechless... Yes, my Ebo is exactly a "man"!]
--[She can fight and curse. She also knows her way about knives and tends to cover friends' mistakes. She is stingy, sort of, a diligent and thrifty housekeeper. And when she goes out, she is just like a navigator. Can't she be considered a man?]
--[Yes, yes, Ebo is a "man". Oh my husband, my Ebo, come and marry me!]
After waiting for a few more minutes, the bus finally came.
They got on the bus, found adjacent seats and sat down. In the end, Ebony took the rest of the pie.
After she had eaten up, she returned the empty paper bag to Lloyd.
Lloyd took the paper bag, glanced at her, and threw the bag into the trash bin with the same expression as usual.
After returning to the hotel, what they didn't expect was that Belinda and Victor had come back first.
Seeing them, Belinda stood up from the sofa on the first floor and walked toward them with a smile.
Ebony glanced at Lloyd, gloated happily, and walked directly to the elevator entrance.
Unexpectedly, Belinda didn't come for Lloyd but stopped her. "Since the mission has been completed," she said, "Miss Housekeeper, the three teams should integrate, right? I heard that during the first two episodes the boys were in one room and the girls shared one room. Victor and I have already checked out, and we will follow suit. Miss Gibson, I will share a room with you and Teri tonight."
Ebony, "…"
When Teri came back at night, she almost exploded on the spot when she saw Belinda in the room.
Smashing the handbag on the sofa, Teri walked into the bathroom with a poker face, closed the door, and stared at Ebony who was brushing her teeth.
Ebony was forced to stop brushing her teeth, and said innocently, "It is not what I want either."
Teri asked angrily, "What should I do now?"
"Now I'll sleep in the same bed with you tonight." Ebony spat out the foam in her mouth and said, "In fact, even if we don't live together now, we will in the next episode..."
"I won't come next time," Teri said directly.
Ebony was stunned and looked at her.
"It's impossible for me to get along with her." Teri said coldly, "If she is a permanent guest, I won't come. I can afford the penalty."
Ebony frowned.
Teri closed her eyes and rubbed her eyebrows. "I shouldn't embarrass you," said Teri, "after all, you have no grievances with her. Forget it. I still have some money left, and I'll order another room."
Teri said, walked out, picked up the handbag on the sofa, and left the room without looking at Belinda from beginning to end.
After Ebony washed up, she came out with a towel, wiped her mouth, and glanced at Belinda who was sitting on Teri's bed and reading a magazine smugly.
Seeing Ebony, Belinda smiled smugly at her.
Ebony didn't understand why she looked so proud. She turned around and walked out of the room too.
Teri went to the first floor to book a room.
There was still one thousand yen left in the travel funds, but it was not enough for a room. She was communicating with the staff and tried to get back her wallet.
Ebony was in pajamas with a towel hanging around her neck. She appeared behind her carelessly and casually, bumped Teri's body with her body, and handed a room card to her.
Teri was stunned and looked at the card. Then she looked at Ebony again and said, "This..."
Ebony smiled, "I don't like her either, so I'll move out with you."
Teri looked at Ebony in shock. After a while, she hugged her tightly and said, "Ebs, you are my lovely sister!"
Five minutes later, Belinda, who was sitting on Teri's bed and riding the high horse, saw Teri and Ebony come back one after the other.
She put down the magazine in her hand, with a reserved smirk on her face, and said softly, "There are only two beds, how are we going to sleep tonight? I don't like sleeping with other people very much, and I want to sleep by myself."
Teri ignored her, took out her suitcase under the bed, dumped the cosmetics on the table into the suitcase, got up, and asked Ebony, "Are you ready?"
Ebony has less luggage. She grabbed the luggage lever and said, "Okay. "
The two of them didn't look at Belinda at all. They pulled their luggage one after the other and left without looking back.
It wasn't until the two of them left that Belinda surprisedly found that they had moved out to hide from her.
"Humph!" Belinda clenched her fists heavily, feeling aggrieved, and immediately got off the bed and went to the boys' room next door to complain.
She wanted to let the boys know that she was excluded.
But Belinda didn't expect that as soon as she left the room, she saw a hotel staff walking towards her, who talked to her with a smile, and pointed to the room door behind her from time to time. But she didn't understand the staff's words.
The staff kept speaking. Belinda waved her hand and said hurriedly, "Wait a minute."
She hurriedly knocked on the door of the boys' room.
The door opened quickly. It was Victor who opened the door. He was surprised to see Belinda, "Belinda?"
Belinda waved her hand to him. Seeing Lloyd in the room, she shouted, "Mr. Vasquez, this man seems to have something to tell me, but I don't know what he said. Could you please translate it for me?"
Lloyd was wiping his hair. He glanced at the two people outside the door and finally turned to look at the staff.
The staff explained again at this time. Lloyd heard about the situation and was stunned for a moment. Then he lowered his eyes and laughed silently.
Belinda was puzzled, "Mr. Vasquez?"
Lloyd said without emotion, "He means that you have to leave that room as soon as possible because that room has been checked out. If you don't leave in ten minutes, they will call the police."
