Chapter 22:
Jacob added Eileen to the lively group chat, where Huey was quick to send a message.
“Eileen, stick with me, and I’ll protect you tonight. We’ll take them on together!”
Casting a sidelong look at Bryan, Eileen noted everyone’s preoccupation with their conversations. She was about to dwell on their earlier conversation when Jacob teased, “You’ve got guts for someone so young. Let’s put your skills to the test tonight!”
Vivian replied, “No teasing; Eileen’s boyfriend just wants to protect her in the game. He doesn’t care if he’ll lose or win.”
Kian threw in a playful barb. “Do I hear wedding bells? I’d better start saving for a grand gift for your marriage.”
Huey’s response was prompt. “A wedding would surely call for a celebration with all of you, but it’s up to Eileen.”
The chatter didn’t sit well with Eileen, prompting her to discreetly mute the conversation. After the last note was sung at karaoke, Jacob, buzzing with energy, ushered Eileen toward Bryan’s suite.
They navigated through the space—bathroom to the left, a generous living room ahead, and bedrooms to the right. However, the room felt less spacious with a full gathering convened around the coffee table.
When the clock struck, the gaming session began. Bryan and Kian, with Vivian in tow, formed one team, while Eileen allied with Huey.
Vivian, though not a gaming ace, definitely showed more prowess than Eileen, who quickly became the team’s underperformer, faltering in the initial practice round.
Huey’s encouragement filtered through Jacob’s phone, which was on speaker. “Eileen, put on your headphones and jump on the voice chat. Don’t worry; I’ve got your back.”

That warm-up defeat sparked a competitive blaze in Huey. A player known as Ax had bested him swiftly—Huey was taken aback by the player’s sharp gaming instincts. Determined to redeem himself in the eyes of his team and not let Eileen down, Huey silently pledged to up his game.
As Eileen made to retrieve her headphones, Bryan intercepted her with a pair of Bluetooth earpieces. “Use these. No need to go and grab your own earphones.”
Eileen accepted the device, pairing it with her phone and slipping one earpiece in her ear to join the voice chat, Huey’s voice now a private channel in her ear. They dove into another round, with Eileen following Huey’s lead on strategy.
