Chapter 33 No Chance

To avoid getting exposed, Christopher deployed his acting skills, enhancing his charisma by immediately suggesting a game and supper session with two male researchers.

Luna naturally didn't oblige and turned back alone to her room.

The others exchanged looks. Everyone knew Christopher was just finding an excuse to spend more time

with Luna.

Now that the main characters had left, everyone planned to return to their rooms.

Unexpectedly, Christopher genuinely intended to treat everyone to supper.

The trio of researchers was quite surprised and initially wanted to politely decline..

Christopher said, "I should have treated you all to a meal long ago."

Years ago, he didn't fulfill his obligations to his fiancée but now wants to treat his fiancée's friend to a meal. Now that their engagement has been called off, it's a belated effort. With nowhere else to go, Isabella couldn't help but sarcastically comment, following their lead. Christopher's smile stiffened under the weight of these thoughts.

The trio felt awkward too. After all, Luna's return to her room showed that she didn't want to get involved with Christopher personally. Although they thought Christopher and Luna were well-suited, they had their limits and didn't-want Luna to feel pressured or angry. While they could be kind, they couldn't guilt trip others.

Seeing their hesitation, Christopher quickly changed the subject. "Actually, I wanted to get to know your team members better, so I can invest wisely and pay attention to the details in the future."

Even though it was likely just an excuse, since it had been said, any further refusal would risk offending the benefactor.

Thus, everyone was swept along by the atmosphere to the male researchers' room for supper.

Christopher ordered a lavish feast for everyone, instantly dispelling any sense of distance. He even went as far as agreeing to autographs and photos. Even if they weren't fans of Christopher, he was a top star, and posting about it would garner a crazy amount of likes on social media.

Before long, Christopher contacted Hayden to arrange two rooms on this floor.

He cleverly chose the room directly opposite Luna's.

Hayden and Thalia eventually arrived, smoothly covering up the lie.

However, after Hayden pulled Christopher aside for a private chat, it was clear the issue was with Bianca. Christopher clearly wanted nothing to do with that person's news anymore.

With Christopher's attitude, Hayden naturally loosened up and informed the outside world, severing all resources previously provided to Bianca
