Echoes of Unrequited Love

Chapter 162

I should’ve known these trust–fund types loved to get all fancy with their games, so I dodged a bullet by skipping ‘Truth or Dare.‘ But man, I never saw it coming – they really didn’t treat me like an outsider.

After hesitating for a couple of seconds, I reached for a glass of booze on the table.

Since I couldn’t say squat, I guessed I’d just have to take a penalty drink as an apology.

Timothy raised an eyebrow and said coolly, “Of course not!”
