Chapter 5 By coincidence, Alexander and his three best mates all stay in NYC upon graduation. They keep a good relationship and often go out to play or dine together. Alexander was one of Camilla’s suitors in college and all his friends helped him to get her. Though the result was that Alexander and Camilla were not together, he and his friends still hung out with Camilla These years, Camilla has been in several relationships. She said her boyfriend was different from her friend and that Alexander was always her good friend. Camille broke up in the earlier days and then she came back to them again. In the past, every time I saw Alexander taking care of her, my blood pressure would go up. I argued, and fought but it didn’t work at all. Since then, I refused to join their pa Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates… rties anymore. ‘Have a good night. Could you send me home first?” I ask him. There is not even a bit of me wanting to go to their gathering. Alexander says, “We will be back soon after dinner. It won’t last very long. Charles especially says he wants to invite you because he hasn’t seen you for a long time. ‘Alright then,” I stop insisting. Then we stand in front of Charles’s new home. After the doorbell rings, the door opens. Behind the door runs out a person who jumps right to Alexander’s back and wraps his neck. She is so quick that Alex even can’t stand still but he seems to get used to this situation and holds her unconsciously ‘Ha. ha… Alex, you are late. Punish you to do ten push–ups with me on your back,” Camilla says proudly. After Alexander makes his steps steady, he freezes for a while before turning to look at me. Seeing the anxiety in his eyes, I give him a smile. He seems to be nailed to the ground and instantly looses his grip. Then Camilla falls from his back, off guards. she patted Alexander hard and complained, “I was so scared! Why did you let me go?” know she has always liked turning a blind eye to me. Until now, she raises her head and looks at me in pretentious urprise, exclaiming, “Charlotte, you are here too! I was just kidding. It’s just a punishment for people who lost the game when we were together. You won’t mind it, will you?” No, I don’t mind it at all. You can play whatever you want. I don’t care. To be honest, I prefer to watch TV now,” aying this, I pick up the remote control and shift the channels. Charlotte, you know what? Alex is great. He can do a dozen push–ups consecutively with me on his back!” Really? I don’t know that. How about you two do it right now to broaden my horizon?” I put the remote control down and looked at Camilla and Alex with curiosity. I’ll go to the kitchen to help Charles,” Alexander suddenly stood up and on his way to the kitchen with an expressionless face. The rest of us remain in the living room, staring at each other. During the dinner, I am sitting to Alexander’s left and Camilla to his right. Oops, I don’t like mutton,” said Camilla who put the mutton on Alexander’s plate. Chapter 5 It is not new to me that they act so intimately. I am different now. I won’t be angered by this. Charles can cook so I’d rather bury my head on the plate, eating until I am full. After dinner, Camilla advises them to play a game together. Thinking I haven’t reviewed my materials, I want to go back home. “Have a good night. I gotta go,” I stand up. “I am with you. I will drive you home,” Alexander also stands up. “No, thanks. I can go home by taxi,” I really think I don’t need Alexander to take care of me. But I don’t know why Alexander’s face sinks when he hears what I said. He put on a long face and said with a tough voice, “Go back home now, right now. ” “I will go with you two. Would you like to give me a ride?” Camilla asked.
