Chapter 20 She Wants to Play, Just Let Her Play
-- "I like Rita Obrien, and finally someone disses Ebony Gibson. Watching this woman bossing people around, I have long wanted to get into the screen to hit her."
-- "Why don't you give Venny a mask? Do you know that Venny has many European and American fans? Ignoramus."
-- "Rita Obrien is only being protective and does not mean to be close to Venny. Well, we will forgive you for the time being since you speak for Venny."
"Rita, stop talking nonsense!" Teri Holland chided severely.
She knew that Rita Obrien was often dissatisfied with Ebony Gibson, but this was the first time that Rita Obrien had openly confronted Ebony Gibson, not for herself, but for Vernon Hale.
Teri Holland frowned and glanced at Vernon Hale on the sofa, who had a helpless smile on his face.
Whether it was an illusion or not, she felt that Vernon Hale was a little strange today.
Jacob Silva quickly followed suit.
Ebony Gibson's cold eyes swept around Rita Obrien. After a while, she took out a mask and handed it over.
"You should've given it earlier," Rita Obrien ran over to get it.
Rita Obrien failed to grab it and said, "Are you kidding me?"
Ebony Gibson looked at Vernon Hale and said, "Have you broken your arms or your legs? Wouldn't you come over and get it yourself?"
Vernon Hale looked innocently at Ebony Gibson with an aggrieved expression.
-- "Is Ebony crazy?"
-- "I am annoyed when I see Ebony Gibson now."
-- "Why should Venny suffer this kind of grievance from Ebony Gibson? Can't the production team dismiss Ebony Gibson?"
Rita Obrien's mood was exactly the same as that of the real-time comments.
She roared, "I just like to help Vernon carry things! It's none of your business! Give me the mask!"
"Tsk," Ebony Gibson glanced at Rita Obrien irritably, but in the end, she threw the mask at her with a stern face.
Rita Obrien took the mask, and ran over to give it to Vernon Hale with a caring look.
Vernon Hale said gently to her, "Thank you."
Rita Obrien blushed immediately.
After a while, they got into the bus. Ebony Gibson was sitting alone in the last row of the bus. Lloyd Vasquez got onto the bus with his long legs and sat next to her.
The bus moved, and the people in front were chatting.
Lloyd Vasquez said suddenly, "Do you know where Rita Obrien went last night?"
Ebony Gibson was taken aback and looked at him.
"She was taken to the back stairs by him," Lloyd Vasquez's black eyes swept over. That "him" was referring to Vernon Hale.
Ebony Gibson frowned and mocked, "Women in love really have no IQ."
Lloyd Vasquez laughed softly.
Ebony Gibson asked, "What are you laughing at?"
"I just don't think it's love."
Ebony Gibson also thought of Vernon Hale's flirtatious and provocative look yesterday. She stared at the back of Rita Obrien's head in front of her. After a long time, she pouted and looked away, "It's none of my business."
Lloyd Vasquez glanced at her and said nothing.
Everyone was having a great time throughout the day's journey, except that Rita Obrien was coming to Ebony Gibson from time to time to ask for money.
The others were joking around along the way.
However, when they went back in the evening, Rita Obrien said suddenly, "I want to be the team leader tomorrow."
Ebony Gibson, who was counting the remaining funds, looked up.
Teri Holland turned and said, "Rita, don't fool around."
"I'm not fooling around. Why is she the team leader? I can treat her not as a servant, but why does she have to be the team leader? We don't even get to eat what we like, and we have to eat what she thinks is inexpensive. If it goes on like this, there will be no fun in traveling. Vernon has hurt his head and he's in bad shape, but she wants to take the bus, which makes people dizzy with the transfers. How much money can this save? It makes Vernon feel unwell! I don't care! I will be the team leader tomorrow. If you don't let me be the team leader, give me and Vernon our money. We'll go by ourselves."
Teri Holland's expression became more and more serious, "Rita, 
this is no joke. You cannot speak English. Even if we let you go by yourselves..."
"Teri, why do you always side with her? You are my best friend, why do you always speak for Ebony Gibson? Have you ever cared about me?"
Teri Holland stood up, "I do care about you. That's why I advise you..."
"I don't want your advice. I'm here to travel. I'm not here for a military training. I don't need an instructor telling me what I should do and what I can't do. If you all really can't accept me, you can ask the production team to replace me with someone else!"
"Rita Obrien!" Teri Holland was really angry.
Ebony Gibson stood up, stopped Teri Holland, and looked at Rita Obrien, "You want to be the team leader?"
"Yes!" Rita Obrien was not afraid of Ebony Gibson, and raised her chin provokingly at her.
"Okay," Ebony Gibson handed the money in her hand to her.
"Ebony, don't be serious with her," Teri Holland wanted to stop her.
But Rita Obrien took the money, counted it, and said, "Tomorrow everyone can sleep until ten o'clock. We will go sightseeing in the afternoon. I am not like someone who wakes people up early in the morning. We are here to travel and have fun. I respect everyone's sleep quality."
Ebony Gibson sneered and nodded lazily, "Whatever you want."
Rita Obrien ran over to the boys' room with the money to inform them of the good news.
As soon as Rita Obrien left, Teri Holland grabbed Ebony Gibson and said bitterly, "She's just a little girl. Don't be angry."
The more time she spent with Ebony Gibson, the better Teri Holland could find out about Ebony Gibson's ability to coordinate and take charge of everything.
Among them all, only Ebony Gibson could control the scene. The seven of them in this trip each had their own character and temperament, but Ebony Gibson could control everyone and make the show progress smoothly .
It was the greatest feat to be able to do this.
Teri Holland did not know what happened to Rita Obrien all of a sudden. She only knew that Ebony Gibson should never be offended.
"I'm not angry. She wants to play, just let her play. I don't care," said Ebony Gibson, who was picking up her towel and toothbrush, and then she went into the bathroom.
It seemed that she really did not care about this.
Teri Holland stood outside the door, looked at the closed bathroom door, and sighed heavily.
--"Although I also want to diss Ebony Gibson, I thought of Victor Torres' incident on the first day in the previous episode."
--"Rita Obrien won't spend the money so recklessly, right? She has seen the example of Victor Torres."
--"Speaking of which, someone who doesn't even speak English serves as the team leader of the New York trip? ? It's just..."
--"I support Rita Obrien. Venny has suffered too much today. He's just a guest on the show, a guest, and look at what has become of him in one day! I nearly die crying. "
--"I feel sorry for Venny too. He's injured. Isn't it their responsibility to be nicer to him?"
