Jade together with her friends, Nyka and Emma was hanging out at Lester''s penthouse. He invited his girlfriend, Nyka. Since it''s the weekend, Jade and Emma tagged along with her.


    Of course, John who was courting Jade rushed into Lester''s penthouse after knowing that Jade and others wereing. Lester organized ate-afternoon pool party for them. Since Marcus was having a date with Sophia, he was the only one who couldn''t make it today.


    Because he was not around, Marcus became the topic of the five people hanging out in the pool.


    "Hey, what do you think, sis? How''s Marcus doing right now?" Emma asked her friend Jade.


    They just finished swimming fiveps when they decided to take a rest on the side of the pool. Lester and John chuckled when they heard Emma''s question. They wereughing at their friend''s misfortune.


    John and Lester were both thinking that Marcus was unlucky to date a nerdy boring girl like Sophia. Lester handed over theirdies'' drinks while John joined thedies and sat down on the pooldder beside them.


    "I think you are bing harsh on your brother, Jade," Lester said teasingly to Jade.


    "So true, why did you have to sacrifice your brother like that?" John also asked Jade. There''s a glint of humor in his eyes.


    "Well, I''m not being harsh on him. It''s all about gains and benefits. Besides, a deal is a deal. I will help him with Athena as long as my brother will make our genius ssmate happy even just for one day. It''s not my fault that my ssmate fell for his charms." Jade answered them nonchntly before taking a sip on her drinks.


    "Are you kidding us? Who said it''s only for one day? Your brother mentioned to us that you also asked him to be Sophia''s partner during the uing Acquaintance Party." Lesterined to Jade in disbelief.


    Nyka pouted upon seeing the reaction of Lester. "Babe, why are you the oneining? Even Marcus didn''tin to Jade. Don''t tell me you are against the idea that Marcus will be dating Sophia again during the acquaintance party? Are you interested in that genius girl?"


    "Eh?? Me? Interested in that nerdy girl? Seriously, Babe? Are you asking me that? No way!!! I don''t want to die of boredom. I think I can''t even bear to be with her even just for 30 minutes. What if she talks to me about equations and forms? I''m gonna die from losing too much blood because of a nosebleed," Lester responded exasperatedly.


    The four of them burst outughing because of Lester''sst remarks.


    "Jade, my queen, why don''t you try to call your brother. Ask him about the updates of his date. I am also curious to know how he is doing right now," John suggested to Jade.


    "That''s right. Let''s call your brother. Let''s hear some updates from him," Emma supported John''s suggestion.


    Jade just shrugged her shoulders before getting out of the pool to pick up her phone. Since her friends made such a request, she decided to help them satisfy their curiosity by calling Marcus. When she came back, she''s already holding her phone and dialing Marcus''s number.


    It did not take long when her call was answered by Marcus. Jade put her phone on speaker mode so that the others could hear their conversation.


    After a few seconds, Marcus''s annoyed voice was heard from the other line. John and Lester tried their best to hold theirughter. They thought Marcus was in a bad mood because of his date.


    Unknown to them, Marcus was irritated because his moment with Sophia was interrupted because of this phone call.


    Marcus: "What?"


    Jane: "Hey, are you mad? Why are you raising your voice at me? How''s your date? Did you entertain Sophia very well, my dear brother?"


    Instead of answering her, Marcus asked Jade.


    Marcus: "Why did you call me now? Don''t you know that I''m in the middle of my date?"


    The five of them were confused by Marcus''s strange reaction.


    "Why is it he sounds annoyedand irritated for disturbing him during his date?" Emma couldn''t help but blurt out to them in a low voice.


    Jade raised her eyebrow and responded to Marcus, "We are just worried about you that''s why we decided to call you. I and my friends are currently hanging out here at Lester''s penthouse. Try to catch up with us when you are done with your date."


    John could no longer remain silent. He started to speak with Marcus.


    "Hey Bro, honestly I am surprised that you are still with the nerdy girl right now. I thought you will ditch her after lunch? What happened with your n? Is Sophia really that persistent, not allowing you to leave early?" After saying that, John let out a mockingugh.


    "Bro, be careful. She might put some love potion in your drinks. Hahaha," John added.


    "Shut up, man!" That''s the only word Marcus uttered before hanging up the phone.


    *Beep* *Beep*


    "Eh, what happened? Don''t tell me he hung up the phone just like that? That punk?! How dare he? We are still talking to him." Johnined in disbelief.


    Jade just shook her head helplessly. She couldn''t figure out what her brother was trying to do here as well.


    "Hmm, it seems that Marcus is working hard for our bet," Lester suddenly brought it up out of the blue.


    The threedies just looked at the two men curiously. "What bet?" They asked them in unison.


    The two men just smiled at them sheepishly. They were not supposed to tell the girls about the bet but Lester had a slip of the tongue.


    "John, spill it out now," Jademanded John with her stern voice.


    "Alright, don''t be mad at me, my Queen. I will now talk," John promptly said. Jade just rolled her eyes because he kept on calling her "my Queen".


    "The three of us made a bet. We challenged Marcus to sleep with Sophia during the Acquaintance Party. We wanted to know if your genius ssmate is still a virgin or not. Will she give in to Marcus''s charm? Ladies... Please don''t tell this to Sophia!"


    Lester and John looked at the threedies anxiously. Their n would be ruined if one of them would inform Sophia. They were also nervous that the three women would scold them because of this discovery.


    But the scolding they were expecting from thedies didn''te. They received a different reaction from them.


    "Wow, that''s a nice bet. Why you didn''t include us? It''s gonna be a fun and exciting night!" Nyka said, her eyes brimming with excitement.


    Emma also nodded in agreement. "Why don''t we record it? Hmm, if Marcus will seed then we can use the video to ckmail Sophia. She will do everything we will ask her like a ve!" Emma suggested to them.


    "Wow, nice suggestion. I like that. It will also help and save my brother from future hassle. He won''t need to pretend and act friendly with Sophia," Jade agreed with Emma''s suggestion.


    John and Lester exchanged meaningful nces with one another. They didn''t expect that the threedies would be meaner than them.


    They even thought of recording a video that would serve as Sophia''s scandal. Then they would try to use it to ckmail Sophia to make her follow theirmands and get everything they wanted from her.
